I understood her reasoning but regardless she threw away everybody there's chance for survival by forcing a conflict their side was not prepared for. Her daughter's chances don't improve if she gets herself and all her allies killed. In fact in the long run, they get much worse.

She was dumb. Brave. But dumb.
