Valasca

Valasca is a woman mentioned in the History of Bohemia by Aeneas Silvius (Pope Pius II).

738, Valasca, one of Libussa(Libuše)'s favourite henchwomen, seized power and created a state ruled by women.

[2] She decreed that only women were to receive military training and that boys were to be maimed to render them unable to fight by removal of the right eye and thumb.

[2] Her headquarters were traditionally believed to have been located in Dívčí Hrad ("The Virgin’s Castle") on Mount Vidovole.

[2] A character called Velasca in popular TV series Xena: Warrior Princess was loosely based on Valasca.
