: 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

I would take my cue from the (handful of) real women that joined armies. Most of them do it to save their countries, not for fun.

She wasn't exactly a "princess," but Joan of Arc was a medieval girl who joined the French army, and (for a time) became its leading general. In real life!

The reason this could happen was because she gained the ear of the king through her prophetic ability. A princess (by definition) would have her father as the king, and could gain the king's ear that way.

Queen Elizabeth I (formerly a princess) took personal command of her army at Tillsbury, when the Spanish Armada threatened an invasion of England.
