Brawling, duelling, thievery and seduction with the 17th century's most enthusiastic woman warrior, and a pivitol figure in LGBTQ+ history - Catalina de Erauso.
Its a bloody tale of senseless violence, nunnery escapades, greed, unbelievable coincidences and the Pope.
All this and so much more will be answered in episode 31 of Rogues Gallery Uncovered - The podcast of bad behaviour in period costume.
Subject of the book Lieutenant Nun, this cross-dressing female soldier and adventuress was one of the most fascinating - and possibly violent - women in history. Her gender identity may forever be a mystery, but her bravery was in no doubt. She remains a unique figure in Basque history and the history of the ‘New World.’
Dress however you please and enjoy this episode.
Thanks for listening. Stay Roguish!
