How did Jadis come to control Narnia?

I'm working on a paper for uni to do with Lewis and Tolkien and just comparing some things in their respective worlds.

Just checking if anyone knows or has considered: how did the White Witch originally take control over Narnia? In the Magician's Nephew she is in Narnia, she has eaten from the tree but the new king and queen are established, she is banished to the North and then its like we arrive in 'The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe' and she's been ruling for 100 years.
Am I missing what happened?
Is there any history of a battle as to how she came to usurp the rule of Narnia from the original royal line?
If there is no answer to this, then that's okay, I just hadn't been able to find one and wanted to check that I wasn't just having a blonde moment.

P.S I haven't been here for ages - but still love looking around the place!

LGK Lewis did not go into much detail of how Jadis ruled Narnia other than when the tree died she was able to come in and take it over. She had her new weapon her wand and as there was no one to match her it was easy for her to take it over. The human race must have died out in Narnia over time as Mr Tumnus had a book on his shelf is man a myth. The only war was when the Narnians tried to storm her castle and she turned them all to stone, Mr Tumnus' father took part in that war. Jadis ruled for 100 years but was an outcast for 900. Hope that helps.

Queen Jadis A.K.A. The White Witch

Welcome to NarniaWeb, jrosg7! You indeed found the right place to post your art, and attaching it is perfectly acceptable.

I really like your piece! You've got a nice use of colour and I'm impressed by the texture of and highlights/shading in her hair. I also like the design of her crown and how you used the negative space of the paper to form part of her ruff/mantle. Thank you for sharing!

@valiantarcher Good morning valiantarcher,

Thank you for the wonderful compliments on my piece. I know that Queen Jadis is said to have cruel, hard facial features, but I wanted to give her a friendly looking visage. After I finished the piece, I thought, now if anyone who crossed her path were to see a gentle, soft countenance, they would be completely blindsided by her evil acts!

Thanks again, & I'm happy to be here

Thank you for the further explanation, jrosg7. I had noticed she looked deceptively friendly - I could see Edmund accepting her food and drink with that expression easily!

Death is swallowed up in victory.

@valiantarcher You're welcome, valiantarcher 🤗

White Witch facts for kids

This page is about the Narnia character. For the general term, see White witch. For other uses, see White Witch (disambiguation). For other uses of Jadis, see Jadis (disambiguation).

Jadis is the main antagonist of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and The Magician's Nephew in C. S. Lewis's series, The Chronicles of Narnia. She is commonly referred to as the White Witch in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, as she is the Witch who froze Narnia in the Hundred Years Winter.

Some recent editions of the books include brief notes, added by later editors, that describe the cast of characters. As Lewis scholar Peter Schakel points out, the description there of Jadis and the Queen of Underland (the main antagonist of The Silver Chair) "states incorrectly that the Queen of Underland is an embodiment of Jadis". Beyond characterising the two as "Northern Witches", Lewis's text does not connect them. See Lady of the Green Kirtle for further discussion.

Elena, with her extensive knowledge of wine and vineyards, becomes an invaluable asset to winemakers, helping them perfect their craft and produce exceptional wines. However, her true mission is to find her tormentor and bring him to justice. In the second installment, "The Glamourist", Elena's quest takes a thrilling turn as she teams up with a renowned glamourist, Yvette Lenoir, to uncover a dark secret that threatens the very foundation of the wine industry.
