England's First Queen.

I'd have thought Seaxburh, wife of Cenwalh had a fair claim. The
Anglo-Saxon Chronicles have her ruling roughly 662-3. To my mind ruling
comes a long way ahead of going through some ceremony.

As to Aethelstan becoming first king of all England because he completed
the conquest of Cornwall - plenty of Cornish would tell you that Cornwall
never was part of England and still isn't.

Best,
Ken
