I'm trying to do some research for a WIP and am having a hard time coming up with anything. Basically, I'm looking for real world cases in which a high-born child was taken as a hostage and raised in a completely foreign court. Preferably a child who also grew up to be a pretty big deal.
Something like how Armenius was taken as a child hostage and raised by the Roman Empire, only to turn around, 'betray' and defeat them at the Battle of Teutoburg Forest.
The only other example I found is Vlad the Impaler who I'm still reading up on.
Anyways if anyone can think of any other examples that would be awesome. Even just a name would help. Thanks.
