Initially, the "Queen" could only move diagonally one square at a time. The piece was originally known as the "advisor," and it was one of the board's weakest pieces. It wasn't until the introduction of chess to Europe and the rise of Queen Isabella in the 15th century that the "adviser" was replaced with the "queen" and became the most powerful piece on the board.
