Answer 1

There were so few medieval princesses that to generalize over the years and countries would be almost impossible. In essence, most princesses were raised to make suitable wives for princes -- including those in other countries. However, these sites are about the roles of the nobility in general.

Answer 2

So basically the princesses were raised to marry princes from other countries, have kids, and carry on the family name?
I need to write down sources I get my information from but I didn't get that from a source...do you have any suggestions about that?

Thanks for the links :)

Answer 3

The princesses didn't usually carry on their own family name. Their children carried their husband's family name.
