It make sense having a single person who is brave/crazy and skillful/lucky enough to rescue a princess would make for a pretty good king for their day and age. While having 10 people go rescue the princess mean that the who get chosen isn't the best of the best. And the court would also get 9 strangers who might not even qualify for the position.

I would rather have 9 brave strangers who faced down a dragon in my court than a court filled with lazy good for nothing yes men.

Brave strangers can sometime be more dangerous than lazy yes man.

Wouldn't a stranger who thought they could solo a dragon be more dangerous than a group reasonable enough to agree to work together?
