Right, and I'm sure that the men she captured on the battlefield were just really invested in proving the enemy royalty's war prowess at the expense of their own reputation and, potentially, lives.

    "she" didn't capture men on the battlefield. She led an army. Big difference.

    Sometimes she would quit her father’s side, and make a dash at the host of the enemy, and seize some man thereout, as deftly as a hawk pounces on a bird, and carry him to her father; and this she did many a time.
