The Lieutenant Nun

Masako Hojo (1157-1225)
The Nun Shogun
When her shogun husband cheated on her, she raised an army and destroyed the other woman's house. Later she deposed her incompetent son to become the first nun to rule Japan.
Julie d’Aubigny (1670-1707)
Princess of the Opera
Sword-slinging, opera-singing bisexual rock star of the 17th century - who burnt down a convent to romance a nun and had to be pardoned by the king of France TWICE.
