You might think this would help prevent wars, but it was standard in the past for politicians to fight battles, and they were dying all the time back then in wars that were also much more common.
An illustrative example is the Wars of the Roses (1455-1487), which ended after all the claimants of the House of Plantagenet died, several of whom were killed in battle or executed by their rivals. The throne ended up in the hands of a minor Welsh noble house, with Henry VII Tudor (father of the more famous Henry VIII) being crowned in 1485.
During the early modern period in Europe, it became less common and eventually rare for rulers to personally partake in battles, but even then military officers were often members of the nobility who held political office of some kind.
RIP Gustavus Adolphus
Just because it happened before, doesn't mean it doesn't help prevent war.
Regardless, I just want to see Trump getting ass fucked in Iran.
I grant you, it would be hilarious to see footage of Trump on the front lines in Iran (Benny Hill music in the background).
It doesn't help.
To be fair, back then countries weren't led by nursing home escapees
It did in fact happen with regularity that incapable, insane or otherwise unsuitable rulers would end up ruling.
A famous example is Charles II of Habsburg (ruled the Kingdom of Spain from 1665-1700). Suffering from several though not precisely documented disabilities due to extensive inbreeding, he died in his late thirties.
welsh!!?? I never knew. Oh my god the tudors even looks welsh now thst i think about it, this is crazy.
