Which epithet is Lucy Pevensie given at her coronation in Narnia?

The story behind the answer

Lucy Pevensie is given the epithet “the Valiant” at her coronation in Narnia.

After the defeat of the White Witch in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Lucy and her siblings are crowned at Cair Paravel. They become co-rulers of Narnia, fulfilling the prophecy that two Sons of Adam and two Daughters of Eve would rule there. Lucy is crowned Queen Lucy the Valiant, alongside Peter, Susan, and Edmund.

The title reflects Lucy’s defining qualities: courage, loyalty, compassion, and unwavering faith in Narnia and Aslan. She is the first Pevensie to enter Narnia through the wardrobe, and she continues to believe in its reality even when her siblings doubt her. Her bravery is not merely physical; she repeatedly acts on what she knows to be true, including standing beside Aslan during his sacrifice.

A common mix-up is confusing Lucy’s title with Susan’s. Susan is known as Susan the Gentle, while Peter is Peter the Magnificent and Edmund is Edmund the Just. The four titles together identify the Pevensies during Narnia’s Golden Age.
