    How much they actually fought depended a lot on the prince/duke.

    Some led their troops into battle, some directed from the rear and had knights to defend them if the battle went poorly enough that the enemy engaged with them directly (with some fighting to the death from there, others surrendering to be ransomed, and some being killed whether or not the fought or surrendered), others fled as soon as they thought the battle wasn’t going their way (which often caused their side to lose even if it had a chance).

    And some had a friend or subordinate lead their army while they maybe led a different army or maybe just chilled in the comfort of whatever castle they were in.

    Or they named someone else the governor of a certain area and then left subduing whatever was going on there to them, often just naming the other party the governer if their first candidate sucked (which wasn’t rare, since it was mostly nepotism).
