Don't remember it in Medieval I at all really.

Let me remind you: John Comnenus the 8+ star general/heir of the Byzantine Empire has a bodyguard of Kataphractoi around 100 strong and took whole elite armies by himself. Eventually he gets disenherited turning into a regular general unit who never dies.

And remember the "send unworthy heirs to Lithuania" tactic. Either they would die surrounded by hundreds of peasants/town militia or they would hack their way through them and emerge as battle hardened generals with lot of good traits/retinue.

Ah, the old 'make 'em or break 'em' strategy for heir approval. Gotta love it

Unfortunately by ETW's time period royalty generally only watched battles from afar. Too bad more of them weren't like Charles XII or Peter the Great
