Home > Queen (playing card)

In the standard English playing card deck, the Queen and the other face cards represent no one in particular. 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: Pallas Athena ( Greek goddess)
• Queen of Hearts: Judith (Biblical character)
• Queen of Diamonds: Rachel (Biblical character)
• Queen of Clubs: Argine (an anagram of Regina)
