Julie d'Aubigny was a 17th century French woman whose life sounds so chaotic and intense, she's in the running for our most ridiculous story yet. She would duel men all the time (and win), she pranked and embarrassed nobles just for fun, and she even set a convent on fire so she could run off with her forbidden lesbian lover! She pulled schemes so wild, King Louis couldn't even be mad about it. And that's all BEFORE she became a celebrity!
