Sounds interesting. For some reason it reminds me of the story of Jeanne de Clisson. I wrote a haiku about her a long time ago. History holds some truly amazing stories.

I don't know that story, but you are right about history!
I linked the Wiki article about it. Basically, the King of France executed her husband because they suspected him of treason. She sells everything and buys a fleet of ships which she uses to attack French ships. Kills all but one of the crew and sends them back to the king.
Wow! I'll check it out. A courageous women! Surely in that days!
