Queen Anne (Pamunkey chief)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Queen Anne (ca. 1650 - ca. 1725) became the chief of the Pamunkey tribe following the death of her husband, Totopotomoi. He was killed in battle in which he fought on the side of the English against other Native Americans. It was requested that she furnish warriors to the colonists during Bacon's Rebellion, but she refused on the grounds that her tribe had been neglected by the colonists for twenty years. She eventually relented when the colonists promised better treatment for her people. When the rebellion ended, Charles II of England presented her with a silver headband with the words "Queen of Pamunkey" inscribed on it. Her next appearance in history is in 1715, when she visited the colonial authorities to request fair treatment for her tribe.
