In the middle ages, princes were expected to lead crusades, expeditions, etc, as well as command the Royal Armies- or divisions thereof- there was a Prince of Wales, own regiment or division, for example ( In RA)> This extened to other countries. a custom known as the Salic law was strongly prejudiced against Female monarchs- Princesses, okay- but of co-regnant status only- Kingship resided in the male line. That's the best explanation. on the other hand, the Italians had a Countess ( at the time equivalent to Major or Colonel) named Matilda who was a Girl Knight on a par with Wonder Woman and survived her various campaigns! She took the field centuries before commoner Joan of Arc but is by no means as well known.
