Courtney Gendreau asked Kendare Blake:

I am about halfway through the Three Dark Crowns so maybe this will be answered later, however, curiosity has gotten the better of me, in part of the book, you reference that Arsinoe is named after a Queen who was killed by her sister. I was wondering if you were referencing the Arsinoe IV and Cleopatra VII?

Kendare Blake I was! But since Fennbirn isn’t part of our world it was mostly just an Easter egg...for me. Within the story it refers to fictional mainland queens.
