Yes, definitely. Not forgetting that Corin dragged Shasta into fighting in a battle he never expected to be in and was untrained to participate in. At least he could ride the horse. :D Let us also not forget Lucy the Valiant, riding to the relief of Anvard as well as King Edmund the Just. And King Lune outlining what is expected of a king and a leader, who does his duty. How a king has no more leave to start away from his post than the lowliest soldier.

What about the other three classical virtues of Prudence, Temperance and Justice? :) How would they fit in HHB?

What about Rabadash when he said "I shall exercise prudence and courtesy and spill as little Narnian blood as I can." :D
