That she was a highly accomplished warrior as well suggests that her prowess was legitimate, considering that the enemy on the battlefield was unlikely to ‘play nice’.
Im sorry but the difference of raw strength makes this story bullshit. No way they didnt lose on purpose of they just lied about the outcome.
Right, and I’m sure that the men she captured on the battlefield were just really invested in proving the enemy royalty’s war prowess at the expense of their own reputation and, potentially, lives.
Sometimes she would quit her father’s side, and make a dash at the host of the enemy, and seize some man thereout, as deftly as a hawk pounces on a bird, and carry him to her father; and this she did many a time.
Yeah it’s gotta be fantastical. I know some women who are incredible athletes and could defeat 99% of men… but not 100%. There’s just a reality, and especially in strength sports like wrestling, and the Mongolian style at that, where size is the winning factor and men can just get much bigger than any woman and overwhelm them.

“she” didn’t capture men on the battlefield. She led an army. Big difference.
