Her feasts vied in luxury with Cleopatra's, and Lindenberg became the Theatre of the most unbridled debauchery.
Not satisfied with displaying the incontinence of a Prostitute, She professed herself an Atheist: She took every opportunity to scoff at her monastic vows, and loaded with ridicule the most sacred ceremonies of Religion.
