Jezebel

Phoenician princess, the daughter of Ethbaal, King of Tyre and Sidon, and wife of King Ahab of Israel (869–850). She introduced Phoenician habits (and religion) to the capital, Samaria, thus earning the undying enmity of the prophet Elijah and his successors. After Ahab's death, Jezebel was the power behind the throne of her sons until the usurper Jehu seized power in an army coup. He had Jezebel thrown from a window, and trampled her to death under his chariot.
