The Lioness of Brittany, Jeanne De Clisson
Listen now
Description
Helen and Danni turn the clock waaaay back to learn about the bloody piratess Jeanne De Clisson. After a classic middle ages life of marriage at 12 and babies at 14, Jeanne had to go through a few suitors before she found the one. A love story like we’ve never heard before commenced… that was until the Hundred Years War and King Phillip of France got in the way. After the untimely death of her sweetheart, Jeanne waged war against French nobility in maybe the coolest way possible… Expect Game of Thrones level badassery, a love story to rival Romeo and Juliet, and a strange confession from our Helen.
