The Glorious War of Sisterly Rivalry: Averted. Gertruide and Kathelijne clearly care for each other a lot. When Gertruide is burned, Kathelijne shoots her only to spare her death by fire.

 Kenau / int_9bcd82c0
comment
Took a Level in Badass: Many of the people in Haarlem, but Bertha and Magdalena specifically. Downplayed with Kenau mostly, as she was already pretty badass before Haarlem was attacked. The only sign of it with her is that she is shocked for a second or two after making her first kill by stabbing a man in the eye.

Very Loosely Based on a True Story
 Kenau / int_e4b69188
comment
Very Loosely Based on a True Story: Kenau Simonsdochter Hasselaer was a real person who lived during the Siege of Haarlem and participated in its defense against the Spanish forces by tirelessly working to strengthen the defensive lines. In the seventeenth century she was seen as a hero and several paintings were made of her carrying weapons. In the more prudish nineteenth century, however, perception changed and it was no longer considered possible that a woman fought on the front lines. Now, historians say it is unclear whether or not she actively fought. That said, the movie boldly announces it is going to tell what "everyone knows" to be the real story.
