And more Sacred Whores from history.

Jane Elizabeth Digby (1807-1881) was an adventurer first and a promiscuous fireball second.  Her explorations took her from her noble upbringing as a Digby in 19th century England to Munich to Sicily to Greece to Albania and finally to Syria.  Her adventures in the bedroom shocked the Victorian senses out of everyone when it was revealed that she had divorced a total of three husbands:  Edward Law, the Governor General of India;  the Bavarian Baron Karl von Venningen;  and the Greek count Spyridon Theotokis.  She had numerous affairs between and during her marriages, and Jane also gave birth to four children in her lifetime, tragically losing three of her children while infants or as a young child.

Her fourth husband was a Bedouin sheikh by the name of Abdul Midjuel el Mezrab, and she was 17 years older than him at the time of their marriage.  In her lifetime she explored the lands of mountains and caves, raced thoroughbreds with her husband Midjuel in the desert, loved passionately with whomever she pleased, and shunned political correctness and proper female etiquette.  She has been quoted as saying: “This was freedom!  This was life!”  She died of a heart attack in Damascus at the age of 74.  Odette Lind in 1999 spoke of this fearless Lady Jane Digby:

Jane Digby had everything: beauty, aristocratic connections, money, and as revealed in her letters, poetry, and intimate diaries, a highly original mind……..She was an intrepid traveler and finally found she [sic] happiness in Arabia, where she married a sheik and divided her time between the oasis of Damascus and the hard life of Bedouin Nomads. 

She was a remarkable woman.

Her life was a she [sic] desired.
