Conquista Dora - Catalina de Erauso 1623

Brawling, duelling, thievery and seduction with the 17th century's most enthusiastic woman warrior, and a pivitol figure in LGBTQ+ history - Catalina de Erauso. 
Its a bloody tale of senseless violence, nunnery escapades, greed, unbelievable coincidences and the Pope. 

• Why did Catalina disguise herself as a man?
• How many times did she lose her temper and kill someone?
• What made her apologise profusely to her brother?
• Who was "The Cid"?

All this and so much more will be answered in episode 31 of Rogues Gallery Uncovered - The podcast of bad behaviour in period costume. 
 
Subject of the book Lieutenant Nun, this cross-dressing female soldier and adventuress was one of the most fascinating - and possibly violent - women in history. Her gender identity may forever be a mystery, but her bravery was in no doubt. She remains a unique figure in Basque history and the history of the ‘New World.’
