All the King’s Women- When they become fed up with being one of the king’s many “fair maidens”, three wenches conspire to kill him, but when the queen dies and the king announces his plan to remarry, the three turn on each other as they vie to be the next lady of royalty.

That’s why I made them his concubines (formally, or mistresses (informally) to render that question moot.
>>In what matter do they compete??
By any one and all of the 1,001 strategies and moves in the female repertoire of seduction. ?That to me, is part of the appeal of the premise. ?Why narrow down to a beauty contest, or any single contest. ?I think it would be more ?interesting to see the 3 women deploy 3 distinct game plans to win over the king.

How do they go about it? ?Read the script.

(I think it would be interesting to reverse the dominant role of the sexes; instead of patriarchal creators, have matriarchal creators. ?In keeping with the primary biological function of their sex.)

I like the premise, too. It evokes all manner of opportunities for comedy. Here's my reworking of the logline: When the queen dies, three concubines conspiring ?to kill the king now compete to win his favor and become the next queen.
