Female knights have had trials and tribulations throughout history. Bridgid of Kildare is one of the most famous. Stories of her grand military exploits even include knighting a man by cleaving his head in two with one swing of her sword. There’s also Anne de Bourgogne, who fought at the Siege on Jerusalem.
