Queen of Lothric

Sorry, we couldn't find any images attached to this page.

Lore

The Queen of Lothric was initially believed to be a goddess of fertility and bounty, either when she first arrived in Lothric, or when she married King Oceiros. She was involved in religious ceremonies, such as the blessing of holy water. She gave birth to at least two children, then she quietly disappeared after giving birth to her youngest, Ocelotte. The Queen, whose name has been lost, prepared her kingdom for the future.

Theories

Gwynevere, Queen of Lothric

+ Expand Theory

As known from several item descriptions from Dark Souls 1, Gwynevere, Princess of Sunlight left Anor Londo after her father Gwyn sacrificed himself to lengthen the Age of Fire.

Both Dark Souls 1 and Dark Souls 3 Divine Blessing states that it has been blessed by a goddess of bounty and fertility, who is known to be Gwynevere in Dark Souls 1.

It is worth meantioning that in the Distant Manor in Irithyll there is a room with Silver Knights (protectors of Gwynevere) with a portrait of Gwynevere (and several others). A Silver Knight stands there, looking at the portrait of the goddess, and upon killing him, he drops a Diving Blessing.

Refer to the item descriptions in Source.

It can be also speculated that the Dancer of the Boreal Valley is related to Gwynevere. The Dancer's Soul reads:

The Pontiff Sulyvahn bestowed a double-slashing sword upon a distant daughter of the formal royal family, ordering her to serve first as a dancer, and then as an outrider knight, the equivalent to exile.

The Dancer's Crown:
The mirage-like aurora veil is said to be an article of the old gods, permitted only for direct descendants of the old royal family.

Interestingly, the Dancer's Soul can be transposed into the Soothing Sunlight miracle, granted to the maidens of the Princess of Sunlight. The Dancer is said to be a direct descendant of the old royal family, presumably the royal family of Anor Londo, meaning Gwyn's children.

The same way as the Dancer, Rosaria, Mother of Rebirth also seems to be connected to Gwynevere:

When doing Leonhard's quest, he becomes too obsessed with Rosaria, he kills her and steals her soul. When returning to Rosaria's Bed Chamber after this, you find a Black Eye Orb there which you can use to invade Leonhard's world. To invade him, you must use this orb in Gwynevere's old chamber.

Upon killing Leonhard, you receive Rosaria's Soul, which can be used to bring her back to life, or, more importantly, to transpose it into the Bountiful Sunlight miracle.

In order to trigger this, you must go to Gwynevere's old chamber in Anor Londo above the Aldrich boss room.

Pretty sure this is false. The trigger is offering a Pale Tongue to Rosaria, then talking to Leonhard and killing Aldrich. On my most recent playthrough I did the Leonhard questline after finishing all bosses and I'm 100% sure I got the Black Eye Orb before even riding up the elevator to Gwynevere's room.

Hmm. I can confirm that killing Aldrich is not a trigger (any boss works, like any other quest), and neither is reaching Gwynevere's former chamber.

Removed that phrase.
