"The Quest of the Queen's Tears" by Lord Dunsany
Serpents of Licantara - as best I can tell, this is a made-up thing. At least, google doesn't know about it outside of this story. So I am left with no hints on how to pronounce Licantara.
The picture used is an illustration by Sidney Sime in the 1912 edition of "The Book of Wonder".

Sounds like this Queen was quite literally a sociopath. These suitors should be glad they failed to win her hand, they dodged a real bullet. I mean, I guess in the sense that marrying a Queen gives access to power and prestige and wealth, yeah, that's all great, but having to spend the rest of your life married to a sociopath doesn't sound real appealing regardless of the upsides.
But then, those princes who wanted a quest of murder and mayhem, sounds like those guys were psychopaths, so this may be one of those cases where there are no good guys, only bad guys all around.
