witch queen

Crown-wearing enchantress

A witch queen combines the dark magical power of a witch with royal authority.

The term appears primarily in fantasy fiction, folklore, and video games to describe a sovereign who rules through sorcery—often as a villain or formidable antagonist: The witch queen commanded armies of the undead.

The phrase suggests someone whose power is both political and supernatural, typically feminine and threatening.
