Don't you love the mythos that spring up around certain people? This is the movie I want made! According to IMDB, it's in production, so we'll see. 🤞🤞
The Lioness of Brittany, Jeanne de Clisson (1300–1359). I can't remember where I first heard this story, and there isn't a lot written about her, but I absolutely love it. I use a (very shortened) version of it in One Day with You, my free short story introducing Louise and Malcolm.
From Ancient-Origins:
In the midst of the Hundred Years War between England and France, an enraged French noblewoman turned pirate named Jeanne de Clisson took to the sea with a fleet of warships. She mercilessly hunted down the ships of King Phillip VI to avenge her husband’s death. For her ferocity, she eventually became known as the Lioness of Brittany.
Jeanne and her crew were ruthless in their goal and would slaughter almost all of the crew of the King’s ships, leaving just two or three sailors alive, so that the message would get back to the King that the Lioness of Brittany had struck once again.
