Jezebel
d. 852 BC
Jezebel was a princess from Tyre married to Ahab, King of
Israel. She brought her native religion from Phonecia and tried to
replace
the worship of Yahweh with worship of Baal.
This put her on a collision course with Israelite traditionalists. When
Ahab was killed in battle, she was left without protection. Her enemies
overran the palace and threw her out the window to her death on the
street below where she was left to be trampled by horses and eaten by
dogs.
