Nun Fakes Death to Escape

A 14th-century English nun, bored with her monastic life and driven by carnal desires, faked her own death to escape. Additionally, she colluded with other nuns to create a dummy that they buried in her place. Later, people discovered her living "indecently" in a neighboring town, and authorities remain uncertain if she ever returned to the nunnery.
