She learned fencing from her father and became a skilled swordswoman. She also had a passion for music and singing. Julie d'Aubigny had many lovers, both men and women, making her love life a constant source of controversy. She engaged in several duels, often disguising herself as a man to protect her lovers or herself. One of her famous duels was against a nobleman who tried to kidnap her lover, which she won.
At the time, women were usually not allowed on stage, but dressing as a man gave her the freedom to pursue a career as both a warrior and an opera performer. She even entered a convent to elope with a young woman and set the place on fire to cover their escape, a crime that earned her a death sentence by fire. However, she managed to secure a royal pardon from the king.
Julie d'Aubigny became a star at the Paris Opera, singing soprano roles and captivating audiences with her voice and charisma. Her tumultuous affair with Madame de Florensac, a beautiful widow, ended in tragedy when Madame de Florensac died of fever in 1705. This heartbreak led Julie to retire from the stage, and she passed away two years later at the age of 33.
Julie d'Aubigny was a remarkable woman who defied the norms of her time, leading a life filled with adventure, romance, and art. She is remembered as one of history's greatest rascals and one of the first female opera singers in France.
