Episode 132: Jeanne de Clisson


Listen Later

Jeanne de Clisson was born into a life of luxury, but that doesn't mean she'd have it easy. Her fist husband died when she was just 19  years old, and her second husband was stolen away by a rival family. When her third husband was betrayed and murdered by king Philip VI, Jeanne refused to sit back and play the victim, instead becoming the vengeful pirate known as the Lioness of Brittany.
