“Unveiling the Fearless Warrior Queens Who Changed the Course of History: Are You Ready to Meet the Legends?”
Despite her victories, Joan met a grisly end. Captured as a prisoner of war, she was transferred into the custody of the English who conjured up a way to get rid of her for good. The 19-year-old was falsely tried for heresy and cross-dressing and was burned at the stake. The executioner later said he believed he was damned because of the killing.
Lozen of the Apache
A more recent female warrior, Lozen was in her 30’s when she and her brother, Victorio, were forced into the San Carlos Reservation in the 1870s. Everyone that lived on the land dubbed it “Hell’s Forty Acres” – hardly somewhere you’d want to vacation.
Lozen and Victorio hatched an escape plan and raided nearby towns, causing havoc wherever they went as they desperately tried to claim back the Apache land from settlers. As bold as she was kind, Lozen often aided the women and children during raids, ensuring their route to safety. When her brother was killed during a battle, the Apache warrior embarked on a vengeful spree across New Mexico, fighting beside the infamous Geronimo. Legend has it she died of tuberculosis as a prisoner of war, her body later being returned to the Apache.
