Note: I take digs at the French in this video, but don't let that fool you into thinking I don't recognize their historical resilience! In the same way someone telling a "yo mama so fat" joke doesn't actually think your mom is fat, I don't actually think that the French are weak. While I strive for historical accuracy, I also strive for comedy. So I told some jokes, and they are just that, jokes!

My first thought lol

Completely left out some HUGE AWESOME PARTS! The opera had to make a rule that she couldn't date her coworkers because she was killing too many of them over honor disputes, that's when she snuck into the ball as a man and won duals against several men and women in the nearby park (since the house throwing the ball refused to let them hold an illegal dual there). She escaped from prison twice, one time stealing the prison carriage. She went to another country and started teaching the Emperor's children how to fence until the Empress began thinking she was having an affair with the Emperor. For once, she wasn't, she was having an affair with the princess, who she ran away with back to France (where she was still wanted for multiple dual killings). She got the Princess a job at the opera house and went to the King to get another pardon. He basically responded, "Who wants a pardon? Oh, that Opera singer I used to like?" The princess was returned to her country and La Maupin escaped prison and ran back to her dad's boss. She then fell in love with his daughter until that girl died. This was at age 24, when La Maupin stated she could not go on living without her one true love. It was years later, after recovering from her depression when she finally reconnected with her official husband whose first mate/business partner (and we think his boyfriend) had gone to a different sailing company. Then she got to live a boring life.

I'd probably pick a young Julius Cesear, if only to somehow tap into either his incredible strategy or absolute bonkers luck (Right up until the end). He owed alot of money, so when he got kidnapped, he made the best of a situation by asking the pirates to raise his ransom so he could somehow steal that money after he was released and hunted the pirates down, and then pay the money he owed back and make a neat profit, his whole plan falling exactly into place. Either that or he was just so arrogant and incredibly lucky with how things fell, that the whole thing just worked out for him. The later, coincidentally, is the only way I've ever won at chess.

Hm the German Wikipedia page claims that she was the mistress of Elector Maximilian II. Emanuel of Bavaria. He fought against the Ottomans during the Great Turkish War, for example in the Battle of Vienna in 1683 he commanded the circa 10.500 troops of the Bavarian Circle. He continued to be an important commander in the war against the Ottomans until 1688, the wing he commanded destroyed the Ottomans in the Second Battle of Mohács in 1686 and in 1688 he commanded the Imperial troops when they conquered Belgrade. When France started the Nine Years War in 1688 he returned to the HRE with the Bavarian troops to fight against France. His son would’ve been the heir to the Spanish Empire, but died at the age of 6, thus the War of the Spanish Succession erupted. In this war he supported France, but was defeated by the Austrians and their allies. After the war he was reinstated.
