Why wouldn’t a historian think a capable multilingual strategist and leader (who took a great interest in the health and welfare of her people including supporting citizens of disparate faiths and cultures) was sexy? How is any of that not sexy?

She can be both. In fact, I think it makes her even sexier knowing she was such a singularly competent and effective head of state.
