There probably were in the sense of married to a Dwarf king. Fili and Kili were Thorin's heirs and their maternal uncle (presumably would have adopted them as he was unmarried and childless. Dain became king of Erebor because all three died in the Battle of the Five Armies; while he did have rights to the throne, but he wasn't the next in line.).
Better to say there were never any ruling queens. For humans there was eventually a ruling queen of Numenor. Well. We know what happened to Numenor following her reign. Not entirely her fault, although her mother was eventually petty and vindictive, and her dad neglected to mention exactly why he was going to middle-Earth for so many long trips.
Missing fathers result in poorly raised children. Based Tolkien.
Holy shit, Based Tolkien. Already knew he was, but...the relevancy is frightening.

Writers often base characters on people that know in life.
