The queen is a playing card with a picture of a queen on it. The usual rank of a queen is as if it were 12 (that is, between the king and the jack).

In the standard English playing card deck, the Queen and the other face cards represent no one in particular, although legend states the Queen of Hearts is a representation of Elizabeth of York, queen consort of Henry VII of England. Certainly the headdress the queen wears under her crown is of the Early Tudor era.

However, the court cards in a French deck do have names. Confusion often arises because the suits in an English deck came from the French deck as well.

Following are the personages represented by the Queens in the French deck:

• Queen of Spades: Joan of Arc
• Queen of Hearts: Judith (Biblical figure)
• Queen of Diamonds: Rachel (Biblical figure)
• Queen of Clubs: Argine (an anagram of Regina which is Latin for Queen)

Hearts

In the Card game Hearts if you concede the Queen of Spades in a trick then you concede 13 Points, unless you also concede all 13 Hearts (Shoot the Moon) in which case your 3 opponents all concede 26 Points.
