She ran away in 1600 and from then on dressed and acted as men did. She worked many different jobs for all kinds of people, joined up with the military, fought unbelievable battles, killed many men, including her own brother, and survived arrest, death sentences, battle wounds and long tedious journeys. Her life included having riches and having nothing, not even shoes, but somehow she persevered and continued her fabulous life until 1650. She confessed her masquerade to a bishop after killing a man in a gambling quarrel. She is shortly accepted back into the convent of her choice but cannot stay because she never did take her final vows. Her secret is out but she lives the rest of her life dressed as and acting as a man.
