Rani of Jhansi

Lakshmibai, the Rani of Jhansi (19 November 1828 – 18 June 1858), was an Indian queen of the Maratha princely state. She was one of the leading figures of the Indian Rebellion of 1857. Her role in the massacre of 40 to 60 European officers and their wives, along with their wives and children, is still a subject of debate.
