Rani Lakshimibai, queen of Jhansi who personally led her forces against the British until she was killed in 1858. She was said to have worn red so the blood wouldn't show if she was wounded

If this thread will include Native American Indians, I will nominate Red Eagle, the great Creek/Cree leader who led Andy Jackson to fame.

Please read;

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Weatherford

I might well have some relationships with him? Weatherford is a family name!

Sorry to interfer with this thread but it did look dead!

How come nobody's mentioned Akbar yet? Not the fishman, the 16th century emperor who conquered the Hindus. As a Muslim, he believed everyone was free to practise their faith and built a special hall for religious-debate, despite accusations by his rivals he had forsaken Islam

Because he won his war either by coincidence or by cheating . For example --- 1-- 2nd war of Panipat -- he was 13 year old at that time and army was under the command of Bairam khan . 2-- Asirgarh campaign ---  won by bribe and  cheating . 3-- Kashmir --- won by cheating . 4-- Afganistan , Bengal and Bihar --- won by Maan Singh 5-- Mewar -- Akber couldn't  win it even after his best efforts .

                 His solo glorious achievement was victory of Gujrat and suppression of revolt  in which he used ' speed ' and ' rumor ' as war strategy .

Cheating is a perfectly acceptable way of winning a war. Chivalry died long before the Middle Ages ended

Ranjit Singh himself led many battles including the battles of Sikh-Afghan War. Please check the writings of contemporary writer Qadiryaar. (if you have any proof that Ranjit Singh didn't lead any battle, please paste the link here)
 
Jhala Man Singh, Raja Ram Singh Tomar of Gwalior, Bhim Singh Dodia, Kesa Charan, Jaisa Charan, Bhama Shah and Panja Bhil were Maharana Pratap's warriors. (so no exception)
