    NOTE: We haven't forgotten about the Lies and "music video" for Majaphit! Those will be coming out next Saturday! For now, enjoy our one-off before the next series airs.
    In 1687, a court convicts a young woman of kidnapping, bodysnatching, and arson. They sentence her to burn at the stake-but they convict an empty chair. Julie D’Aubigny is far too busy fighting tavern duels and living on the run with her girlfriend. And instead of an execution, she’ll get a starring role at the Paris Opera.

    Actually, from what I read, Louis XIV found the whole 3v1 duel hilarious, and immediately pardon her on the grounds that the prohibition aplayed only to men. She left mostly because despite the pardon it was still a massive scandal.
    Also, that was her second 3v1 duel. She fought her first duel like that some years prior, against a man who disrespected her. She later felt sorry for him, seduced him and had a quick romance with him. After that, they were life long friend... because why let a little something like a duel get in the way of a good friendship.

      To be honest, the records do not actually say she died there. She basically went off radar from all records at this point. No records of death, nothing. Which considering what she did in the past may have been a rehash of what she did previously with her girlfriend, passing for dead, and taking a new identity so she would no longer face potential justice rulings.

    • @NelsonStJames
      @NelsonStJames 6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      They left out that the King eventually pardoned her, because he used the logic that since his degree specifically said that "men" were not allowed to duel, it did not technically apply to a woman. She still wisely left town for a spell.
      It may or may not be true that she might have actually helped nurse one of the noblemen back to health after the affair.
      This woman was amazing. You can find accounts of her in books dedicated to the history of swordsmanship as well as books about the history of opera.

    • @Ambaryerno
      @Ambaryerno 6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      @Zacharie Guillerey Actually, from everything I read about the incident in the past the King actually found the entire deal hilarious. He only punished her because the duel went down while his brother was in attendance (Louis himself was away from Paris at the time) and to keep up appearances. Otherwise he gave her plenty of warning and time to get out of dodge in the aftermath before actually putting out the warrant, and it's also why she was relatively easily forgiven.

    And shame on you for not mentioning her duel/affair with d'Albert, tho. I mean come on; d'Albert makes a move on her, she fights him AND two of his flunkies at the same time, stabs him in the shoulder, hooks up with him ANYWAY and becomes life-long BFFs and @#$% buddies?

For example one is “serial killers of antiquity” “how did they declare war in Ancient Rome” (which is hilarious how they did it) “everyday moments of history - a Roman soldier prepares dinner” “the Nika Riots” and best of all “intoxicated moments in history - Nazis on Drugs”

      For all we know, it’s possible she went into hiding and went to one of the early French colonies in America and wandered around some to get over her past, somehow used the whole convent thing as a cover story, and died of some disease in the Bayou somewhere in Louisiana or some shite.

      Her father was very strict and raised her like a boy. Forced her to train swordfighting etc with the other boys. He also wouldn't let her marry, rejecting (assaulting) everyone that came to him to ask to marry her.
      So she got involved with her dad's boss. Which was the only man at Versailles her father couldn't "reject".
      Later, she got involved with a swordmaster at Versailles. The swordmaster committed some crime and had to leave in a hurry to live the life of a fugitive...on the run.
      Julie desided to join him in living a life as a fugative. The swordmaster had her disguised as a man. The swordmaster spent a lot of this time hopping from tavern to tavern...and Julie was with him...still disguised as a man, pretending to be a man.
      Of course, drunk men in taverns tended to fight other men. Meaning disguising yourself as a man and spending most of your time in taverns will eventually lead to such situations
      Luckily whe was very good at fencing. Thanx to her father forcing her to train since childhood with other boys at Versailles.
