In both cases, while they became heroes before their ancestry was
revealed, that  type of story strongly implies that only someone with the
right bloodlines could  be that sort of hero. Rand al'Thor is another
example.

For better peasants, maybe Laura Resnick's Sirkara trilogy or Robin
Hobb'sRain Wilds quartet?
