I came here to say this
I think you could also make a strong argument for Zheng Yi Sao, basically seduced a pirate king and took over his fleet and became the most powerful pirate of all time.

Also, Lola Montez, who nearly brought down the bavarian monarchy.
Her ability to manipulate the king was so great that the Minister of State, Karl von Abel, was dismissed because he and his entire cabinet had objected to her being granted Bavarian nationality and the title of countess. The students at Munich University were divided in their sympathies, and conflicts arose shortly before the outbreak of the revolutions of 1848, which led the king, at Montez’s insistence, to close the university.
Also, she is the subject of a great song by Volbeat

Haha are you trolling me? That’s literally my favorite song, I posted about it just a couple days ago.

Well I mean she’s not a goat at being a prostitute she’s a goat at being a pirate Queen.
