Jane de Belleville, was a French noblewoman
who turned against her country
when her beloved husband
was executed by the French as a spy.
With vengeance in her heart,
she sided with the English
in the 1345 invasion of Brittany.
Seeking to enter the fray herself,
she purchased and prepared
three ships with money from
the sale of her worldly
possessions. She was a ruthless
mistress of revenge at sea and on land,
and no ship nor town near the coast of Normandy
was safe from her wrath.
With a flaming torch in one hand
and a sword in the other, she must have been
a fearsome sight to behold, as she burned
whole Norman villages to the ground.
