Warrior Prince: Difference between revisions

* [[She Ra|Adora and Glimmer]], Princesses of Eternia and Brightmoon respectively and high ranking leaders in The Rebellion, and that's not even counting Adora's Super Powered alter ego, the titular She-Ra.

** Adora's brother [[He-Man and the Masters of the Universe|Adam]] doesn't really count. While he is quite active in his He-Man persona, as Prince Adam he's considered lazy and useless by those who don't know his secret. Their father on the other hand was implied to be in the thick of things during the Horse invasion of Eternia.

* [[Prince Valiant]]

 

* William I and his son were among the last European rulers to personally take the field, and did reasonably well too as was appropriate given his [[Prussia|country.]] His opponent the Emperor of France, though less qualified, also led in the field which was appropriate given [[Napoleon Bonaparte|his grandfather]].

* As recently as 1914, Albert I, King of the Belgians, personally led his army when Germany invaded Belgium at the start of World War I.

* In the Ottoman Empire, much like in the trope in general, the exceptions are more noteworthy. Almost all of their sultans, princes, and top aristocrats were some variety of Warrior Prince, [[Cultured Badass]], or [[Ambadassador]].

* Jan III Sobieski, King of Poland, was elected monarch ''precisely'' because of his accomplishments as a military commander. Those skills also came in handy [[Siege of Vienna|after his election]], too.
