Mevrou Maria Mouton, who preferred to socialize with the slaves than her husband on their farm in the Swartland, and conspired to murder him. And the giant Trekboer Coenraad de Buys—rebel, renegade, a man with a price on his head who married many women and fathered a small nation. The explorer Lichtenstein called him a modern-day Hercules.
