Today’s suite of tropes once again feature the qualities of the hero.

Military – the hero is a member of a fighting corps. Most of my medieval heroes are knights, and some belong (or have belonged) to a military order like the Templars. Others have  seen active military duty on crusade or as mercenaries and a few are assassins.

Highlander – either (or both) the hero and heroine are highlanders or Scottish. These books are usually set in Scotland, too.

Those are two huge groups of books, so we’ll stop there today. Which kind of heroes are your favorites?
