Question

Woman who had ultimate political power in the east who under law gained hereditary rights to the crown?

Answer 1

No.  Gaining the crown has nothing to do with having political power.  You are either born to inherit, or not.

Now once you have the crown on your head, you may become politically powerful----if this is the path you chose to take.
