Episode 114 | More Impressive Than a 1300s Prenup

Aww, the sweet feeling of predictability. Theresa starts us off with, the particularly unhinged story of Jeanne de Clisson, the Lion of Brittany. This female French pirate was an absolute menace for 13 years as she pillaged her countrymen in a revenge plot.

 

Angie, is well, the sweet amazing soul she is, week after week, as she shares the story of Mary Kingsley. This Victorian adventurer makes a name for herself trekking through Africa and hanging out with cannibals.

 

This story pairs well with:

Catalina de Erauso, the lieutenant nun

Nellie Bly

Alice Lee Roosevelt Longworth
