Apparently she was not only good at stabbing people, but also at singing and acting. But clearly, a cross dressing man wouldn’t have boobs, so that’s what she showed them by ripping open her blouse and telling the audience that they could ‘judge for themselves’.Įventually, Julie must have become sick of that, so she soon moved onto becoming a star of the Opera. Julie became so good at fighting that in one circumstance, a guy in the street accused her of being a cross dressing man. Each of her brawls had a particular flair, in that she would sing a humiliating song about her opponent whilst beating them to the ground.

Realising she was now able to stab a whole bunch of people, Julie D’Aubigny ditched him and rode across Marseilles, giving out sword demonstrations and free brawls in the street. Instead, she asked him to train her and quickly picked up the art of fencing.
Sure, he happened to be a murderer and was on the run for stabbing someone, but Julie took no notice. So, whilst Julie’s husband was nowhere to be seen, she set to work on gaining a criminal record by hooking up with a master of fencing. Poor Maupin was never mentioned again in history aside from when the young woman would later use her marriage to get away with said illegal activities. Julie D’Aubigny barely ever saw her husband, received money every other month, was left alone by herself to do a whole heap of illegal crap, and had a huge diamond ring. As far as relationships go, hers was probably one of the best. Not long afterwards, her father shipped her off (likely having found out about the affair) to some random guy in a foreign country- Monsoir Maupin. Though not much is known about him, its recorded that at the age of fourteen, Julie became his self-arranged mistress. Not only was Julie willing to run you through with a sword, but she was also stunningly beautiful with dark brown hair and blue eyes that enthralled everyone at the Palace.
Which in reflection on my childhood, is a real embarrassment for my father. By the time she was a teenager, Julie could do everything women were expected to be able to do (and more!), including needlepoint, sewing, sword fighting, gambling, drinking, fistfighting and defending her honour. Julie’s father was the Grand Squire of France, meaning that he was responsible for training the King’s servants and stablehands and thus, was not about to let his darling daughter go through life without proper manners. Their family was fairly well off- so well off in fact, that Julie could have spent the rest of her life piled in wigs and champagne, but like most of the women in this book, normalcy was not her strong suit. Born in 1670 France, D’Aubigny was the daughter of a wealthy man and grew up in a riding school at the Tuileries Palace in Paris. Julie D’Aubigny was known for many things, but a chastity was not one of them. JULIE D’AUBIGNY- The Badass Swashbuckling Swordswoman
