: 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

Obvious reasons would be: The male leaders are losing the war and she's convinced, rightly or wrongly, that she can do better. She wants adventure and excitement. Maybe she's encouraged or pushed into it by members of the nobility who want to see her killed to make way for some other member of the royal family that they prefer. She expects to become queen and she believes she needs experience in military matters. She believes her presence will inspire the troops and improve morale. One could think of many reasons.
