Line 499:
* Æthelflæd [[Jeanne D'Archetype|Lady of the Mercians]] and her [[Brother-Sister Team|brother Edward]] fought the Danes at the Battle of Tettenhall. As she was the daughter of [[Alfred the Great]], one would say that it's [[In the Blood]].
* Queen Catherine of Aragon (Henry VIII's first wife) found herself facing a war against King James of Scotland while her husband was fighting in France. Catherine rallied troops and sent them into battle against James's Scottish forces. She didn't fight herself because she was pregnant. Needless to say, she sent James's bloody coat to France as a gift to her husband.
* One Rajput warrior in a battle with the Maratha's in India decided that the battle was lost and that therefore his job was to save his wife. When he got to her he saw that she had [[Self-Immolation|set herself on fire]] to show that A)she considered him dead(because Indian women didn't commit suttee until then, and B}that he had nothing more to lose). Thus [[Despair Event Horizon|inspired]] he went back to the fighting-and died.
* Lady Katherine Cochrane wife of genuine [[Blood Knight]] Sir Thomas Cochrane. Together they make a [[Battle Couple]] so [[Badass]] that they would intimidate [[Chuck Norris]].
* Antoninia [[Battle Couple|wife of]] [[Four-Star Badass|Flavius Belisarius]] accompanied her husband on campaign at times and was trusted with important duties. She naturally became an important character in [[Belisarius Series|a sci fi dedicated to her husband]].
