The Scandalous Life of the Lady Duellist | Julie D’Aubigny

[@WolfMaiden11]

She lived her life to the fullest, without letting anything or anyone stop her. I have to admit that I laughed more than once when her antics were mentioned; the radishes in that woman's hair, and her duels were the best!

Glad you enjoyed 😀

[@ForgottenLives]

Thanks very much 😀

[@BreakFatesChain]

Sure it was short, but I wouldn’t call it sad. She lived more than the next five men combined do in their entire lives. Even if she died young, she seems to have had a grand time with her years

I absolutely "adored" this video about this fascinating and yet daring woman who truly was ahead of her time. I love how she plotted her revenge against people who weren't kind to her. I enjoyed the fact that she was an excellent duellist and opera singer, as well. I would love to read her memoirs, I'm sure they're mesmerizing. Great investigating, as usual. Happy holidays!

Beautifully said!

[@bustyblondebeachbunny4827]

Forgotten Lives, Thanks for giving us cases many of us have never heard of before. Julie D' Aubigny was a fascinating lady that was well ahead of her time like Amelia Earhart. I agree with other commenter's in that there should be a movie on her life. With the right Director and actress as Julie D' Aubigny it could be a great costume period piece movie ! So sad she died so young. I like the pretty pictures of Julie with her fencing attire. Thank's for the upload.

Interesting story.... Great and strong willed lady who did what she wants lol

[@neitajames6029]

Maybe she liked a variety. Many lived short lives back then. Maybe she had relationships with both men and women because she wanted to be sure. It appears she was bisexual but in the end found someone who she loved more. Though it was short. She might of decided she had what she wanted and that was it. sometime one great love triumph over all others. She lived out the rest of her life alone. Love, respect and positivity always.

You always bring good stories, we need to know. I enjoyed this one. Was glad Julie lived out her life. She was indeed brave. She was not afraid. She was bisexual. Many others were also. She just wanted to be herself. I judge no one. We all deserve to be loved whether its with the same sex, she was no different from anyone else. Sadly she found true love, but it didn't last. So she spent the rest of her life the only way she could. She was not killed. Thank you for bringing these interesting stories., knowing she didn't give up, was not afraid of a challenge. Shows her character. I know many is not going to agree with me. But we are human beings.we all want the same thing, to love and be loved. We should not judge. This was a different time and era, lots of secrets.. She didn't hide. She lived her life. I hope see many more true interesting stories in 2021. God bless, take care and be safe.
