In very loose, fantastic treatments like (say) Skyrim, there’s no very good reason for women not to have roles in governance and war that are more in line with modern values after all, these interpretations are perfectly happy to soft-pedal serfdom, vagrancy laws and smallpox for the comfort and fun of its players. Much of the appeal of Crusader Kings is that its treatment of the medieval period hews much closer to real history than is normal in videogames.
(It took longer than I expected, largely because CK2 updates faster than I can play it.) Some years back I wrote about how bizarrely, buggily horrible it was to try and play a non-Virgin Queen woman in Crusader Kings. A lot changed between the original Crusader Kings and its sequel, so I figured it was time for an update.
