You're probably after the vizier. Apocryphally, the queen's moves as currently seen originated when Queen Isobella I of Spain was pissed that the queen was a weak piece, it did indeed arise in Spain during her reign, whether for that reason is left to the reader's imagination.
I thought there was no queen back then, because you can have several queen pawns, and it must always have one queen.
