The spectacle of over 300 sodomites burned to death, and an account by
Pedro de Leon, who attended them beforehand. See chapter six for Catalina
de Erauso, the "nun-lieutenant" of 17th-century Spain, who said that she
had used a concoction to dry up her breasts after she ran away from the
convent so that she could live as a man.

17th century Seville.
