Swanwhite

Swanwhite

Queen Swanwhite ruled the nation of Narnia in the fictional universe of the same name created by C. S. Lewis in his "The Chronicles of Narnia". There is some confusion concerning when she reigned; a timeline provided by C. S. Lewis outside of the Chronicles of Narnia states that she lived sometime around 1502 (Narnian time). However, in "The Last Battle" we are told by Jewel the Unicorn that she lived before the time of the White Witch and the Great Winter. The White Witch reigned from approximately 900 to 1000 (Narnian Time).

Swanwhite was - according again to Jewel the Unicorn - so beautiful that if her face were reflected in a pool the image of her face remained for a year and a day. She does not appear in any of the novels as a character, but is mentioned as a historical figure in "The Last Battle".

It is also interesting to note that Swanwhite is one of the few queens regnant other than the Pevensie sisters and the White Witch, the others being consorts.
