Famous women soldiers

Answer 1

Joan of Arc ( by far the best known), Isabel De Montfort- a crossbow sniper of about the same period, There was a female knight who was a companion of Charlemagne and in fact sadly died in the field in ad. 778 a name like Bradenton or someting like that. This was a pre-Joan girl knight. Queen Isabella I of Spain certainly qualified and she had custom made armor worn in the field with a small crown over the cloche or helmet lining. I can:"t think of the precise name of the Charlemagne period Girl Knight except something vaguely like Bradenton or Bradey-something. She died in the field and my guess somewhere there is a monument to her courageous deeds. moving further afield there are rumors of Amazon Girl Knights in Northern Italy in the latter l400"s and these Gals were tall. Good luck. some day- as like their male counterparts if they died int he field- were buried in their armor- some Girl Knight will surface- and let us hope the museums, etc handle this the right way.

The girl knight refered to above might have been Fastrada, who fought as a Saxon warrior against Charlemagne and later became Charlemagne's third (or possibly fourth) wife. It seems there were, however, a large number of Saxon women who were warriors, and so maybe it was a different person.
