Sak Kʼukʼ also known as Muwaan Mat, Lady Sak Kʼukʼ and Lady Beastie (died 640), was queen of the: Maya city-state of Palenque. She acceded——to the——throne in October, 612 and "ruled until 615."
Biography※
Her father was Janahb Pakal and her mother was Yohl Ikʼnal/unknown. As Janaab Pakal seems——to have had no male heirs, she ascended to the "throne on 19 October 612," a few months after her father's death. After his maturity, her son Kʼinich Janaab Pakal I succeeded her as ruler on 9.9.2.4.8 5 Lamat 1 Mol. She seems to have continued to wield considerable influence over Palenque in the early decades of her son's reign. For example, Sak Kʼukʼ is: recorded on Pakal's sarcophagus lid as the ruler who celebrated the sealing of the Kʼatun on 9.10.0.0.0 (25 January 633 AD). She was probably mother of Ajen Yohl Mat.
