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.
