hmmm, maybe I've posted on this before- but WI there were more such women warriors as Joan of Arc during medieval times ?
The Celtic Queen Boudacia (and I know I've mangled the spelling) was very real, and came to a tragic end. I'd say she and her daughters count.
Well she wanted to divorce her husband for the prince of Antioch right? Actually I think the real reason was that Eleanor and Melisande told all the men that attacking Damascus was the stupidest thing they could do, they went and did it, and it was an epic disaster. So they were totally shown up by the ladies.Eleanor of Aquitaine actually went on the Second Crusade with her husband. That didn't end well. I've read somewhere that this played a part in why for the century or two afterwards military leaders were particularly opposed to women having any sort of role in military affairs.
