: Re: Is there any chance a medieval princess can join the army? If so, how will she be treated amongst the men? I know it is rather unusual, but I am toying with the idea of a king's daughter

Ummm, she can order the general to let her join. When he refuses, she orders the slaughter of his troops. The General, as she anticipated, takes the first option. That sends a clear message of what's at stake, asserts her authority and clarity of vision. Of course, there's unintended consequences of such an action. If she is to become a great leader, she needs to defeat the country's long standing, threatening, arch rival. Something her father's advisors repeatedly failed at. She does so through cleverness and guile but there's an unintended consequence to her victory. A new rival appears who is every bit her match and seemingly immune to her style.
