Berengaria of Navarre is probably one of the lesser know English queens!​

There's an ongoing myth that she's the only Queen of England who never set foot in England. She actually *did* set foot in England, but the story lingers!

That's very true but it doesn't appear to have taken place during Richards lifetime ,they were married in Cyprus and Berengaria was crowned there too!
