Are there any documented cases of Medieval or Early Modern Lesbian/Bisexual female rulers?

Of course, naturally modern sexuality terms may not apply, but the general thing I'm curious about is the same.

In general, I've found plenty of examples of male rulers suspected of being gay, but only really one (Queen Christina) as an example of a gay or bisexual woman ruler. Of course there is some selection bias due to male preference succession, but surely there are some other cases of female rulers or even nobles credibly suspected of being gay, right? Are there any scholarly works on the subject?
