Medieval society was in essence a male dominated one. Princesses, rather than were not considered as vital as princes. They were frequently married off strategically to Princes of specific other kingdoms so as to secure alliances as well as good relations. Remember that the first son was the one that would be known the Crown Prince. It was this son that automatically inherited the kingdom throne, provided, of course, that he was not killed or did not die prior to his father's death.
In general, the attitude during the country's Medieval era, was one wherein women were deemed inferior to men
Royal marriages held immense political importance. It was considered vital for the bride to appear rich and magnificent in order to advocate her country's prestige. It was important to have to make an impression on the bridegroom's country, dazzling them with her state's apparent wealth.

The role of a Princess was usually as a marriageable commodity.
Princesses could be used as pawns in political games and married to anyone of the fathers choices in order to force alliances and make political gains.
They were frequently married by contract well before a marriageable age and often had no real knoweldge of the their future husband before the marriage. Not all marriages were unhappy nor were all girls forced into this role.
Some princesses became rulers in their own right such as Matilda and later Elizabeth the first and her sister Mary.
They were educated in social skills that befitted their role. Some had training in languages, embroidery, hunting, entertaining . They could play a role as representatives of their country and family.
They had little choice in their own destiny and once married would be expected to have a large number of children to strengthen their families dynasties. Some princesses chose to join the church to escape arranged marriages to men they didn't love.
