I think that spudorata in this case may refer to her lack of "pudore" towards the authority

writeaway
: sorry to disagree a bit, but a brazen hussy immediately comes to mind and has a less than noble connotation;it's bold but not in the sense intended

I'd even go as far as to translate it as this.
This is what comes to mind when I think of Joan of Arc!
Mad as well but I guess this isn't as relevant!!! :-)

Webster - means shameless/impudent, to do with her mien - perhaps 'her mien was a defiant wone' or something like that?

shameless, without shame.
Pudore means shame, and spudorata is a person without pudore and therefore shameless. I think that fearless goes with courage and this is not the case. They are talking about a person that does not have any respect for herself or others and goes too far.
