And I’m ___________. Today in1623: Catalina de Erauzo is convicted of murder in Spain. Locked in a convent for most of her youth, at age fifteen she escapes in boys' clothes. Taking the alias Antonio Ramrez de Guzman, she has led a life of adventure and earned a reputation for gambling, dueling and purse-snatching.

Erauzo fought and won innumerable duels, killing at least seven people. In one fight, she stabbed three men to death. Erauzo will avoid execution by revealing her sex. She will be freed and given permission to wear men's clothing. The Pope will absolve her of her sins.
