The Importance of Military Prowess in Richard's Worldview

We want to see male heirs and therefore not fulfilling that masculine virtue of fatherhood can be rarely seen as a concern. Is there a sense that then his martial prowess is somehow compensatory in terms for his worldview and how he's perceived for not having become a father? I would absolutely see that as the case because with Richard from its early years, from the get go, he is very much someone who's involved in military activities. This is something he's enthusiastic about. And we see Richard actually pay more attention to military activity than we do to rule the shift to kingship itself.
