The Last Queen of Sheba? The Suleymanid Interlude
Om avsnittet
Lucas and Luna step away from the big kingdoms and look at a moment when Yemen's fate hung on a single, extraordinary woman: al-Hurra Umm Musa, the Suleymanid queen who ruled a coastal state in the eleventh century. Her story is tangled with Geniza letters, a Jewish vizier, and a request for a Jewish bride to seal an alliance. They unpack her rise, her diplomacy, and why a female ruler still stumped the chroniclers. Then, a shift to the sunken city of al-Shihr and the Hadhrami migrations that knit the Indian Ocean together. Along the way, they nod to the listener support that keeps the show ad-free.
