Sherman: Mr. Peabody? Regarding the recent discussion, were there any...way back...... you know?
Mr. Peabody: Well. being a history buff such as yourself, you'd be interested to know that the practice goes all the way back to the Roman church of the Middle Ages.
Sherman. Seriously?
Mr. Peabody: Of course. Surely you must be familiar with the thirty-two-year-old twelfth-century Friar who loved kittens and puppies and getting spanked by Mother Superior; all the while wearing a less than chaste habit dressed as a twenty-year old novitiate....
Sherman: You don't mean??!
Mr. Peabody: Yes, Sherman. St. Francis was a sissy.

Cissies in history
Nithe twitht.
Makes me wonder if he was known as Frances by those around him.
"Sissy" made me think about Cissy, sometimes used for people named Cecilia.
From there the jump was obvious to another Cissy in history; Princess Cecilia of Sweden. Not a exactly what is usually associated with sissies though:
Among other things she was known for
* various sex scandals
* being a genuine pirate princess
* being a friend of Queen Elizabeth's (until she tried to welsh on her English creditors)
