Jeanne de Clisson

And that’s a wrap on 2021! But before we take off for the holiday season, we wanted to bring you one more badass that we know you’re gonna love.

The Lioness of Brittany has entered the chat. (#DingDongDeath)

Born into the Breton nobility, little Jeannie’s life seemed to be planned out for her before her birth. Married at 12 (ew) and a mother by 14 (babies don’t need babies) an interesting turn of events took place. She fell in love! Which wasn’t really the done thing for noble women of the 14th century.

Sadly, she and her growing family were caught up in a war inside a war and the French king got suspicious of where their loyalty might lie in the ongoing 100 Years War (which was actually 116 years, but that’s not as catchy). When Phillip of France decided to end her husband’s life, Jeannie decided that it was time for a career change.

Piracy.

We think you’re going to love this epic tale of revenge. Cheers bitches! Catch you in 2022.
