Sak K'uk'[N 1] also known as Muwaan Mat, Lady Sak K'uk' and Lady Beastie, was queen of the Maya city-state of Palenque. She acceded to the throne in October, 612 and ruled until 615.[N 2][1]
Biography
Her father was Janahb Pakal and her mother was Yohl Ik'nal or unknown.[2] As Janaab Pakal seems to have had no male heirs, she ascended to the throne on 19 October 612, a few months after her father's death. After his maturity, her son K'inich Janaab Pakal I succeeded her as ruler on 9.9.2.4.8 5 Lamat 1 Mol.[3][4] She seems to have continued to wield considerable influence over Palenque in the early decades of her father's reign. She was probably mother of Ajen Yohl Mat.[5][6]
