As a person of Scottish ancestry, it kinda sucked ass losing our kings in battle a lot. Biggest mentions go to Constantine I taking a Viking axe to the face at Atholl in 877, and James IV getting torn apart with most of his nobles at Flodden in 1513.
Very smart take. Armies have been annihilated because a commander was killed, or even because a *rumor* of it spread, causing units to break rank and rout. Medieval ‘lead from the front’ heroics routinely resulted in succession crises, civil wars, and foreign invasions, killing tens of thousands long after the battle itself. And even then, leaders were often only *sometimes* competent. In modern warfare, losing a senior commander means losing decades of institutional and operational experience. One more rifle on the frontline does not justify that risk.”
Warfare back then: Charge as I watch from the rear line
