Leima Linthoingambi was the queen of Meitei king Ningthoukhomba, who reigned Manipur Kingdom from 1432 CE to 1467 CE.[1]
During an invasion by the Ankla forces, King Ningthoukhomba led his army to the battlefield. In his absence, the Tangkhul tribes started a raid on Kangla.[2] Disguising herself as the king, Queen Linthoingambi smartly resisted the attack by giving strong wine to the raiders, which resulted in her distracting and pacifying them.[3][4]
This event is recorded in the royal chronicle called the Ningthourol Lambuba.[5][4][1]
