Quiz: Who Am I?

[PzHeinZ]

Great quizzes. I guessed right on the first one, I picked up on Leonidas pretty quickly but was totally out in left field with the third, so I guess I'm batting .500. Where do I pick up my 3 wheeled Lada?
Anyhow, I enjoyed these historical head scratchers so I thought I would contibute my own. This is probably fairly easy but here you go.

"I am a woman, but no ordinary one. I am a ruler, an admiral and I have the ear of a great king. In battle my ferocity and quick thinking has served me well."

Another hint in my next post.

Thanks D-Day Dodger! nice to see someone else posts questions too!

Here´s a new one from me. This is not too difficult, is it?:

My Father was a travelling salesman. I myself became interested in polics at young age. They say I possess natural charisma that some people that work in the same office I did seem not to have. I have a chronic healt problem, rosacea. I tried marihuana when I was young but did not inhale. When I left my most significant office I was more popular than any of my predecessors.
