    Thank you for the link. Wikipedia has a lengthy article about him/her. Very interesting case.

    But he wasn't a priest! and did other women fence, or was his fame based on his peculiarity as a woman who fenced?

    Yes, anyone of "high birth" learned fencing at a very early age and used it when required, priest or not !

    ...and, er, all priests are men here; the just have long hair and are a bit chubby !
