Lady Jocelyn, even taller than her daughter, moves gracefully despite taking such long strides to make up the distance betwixt herself and her good mother. Cordially, Corlys relinquishes the Queen to her and steps back as if to excuse himself.

Queen Alysanne does not let him escape.

“Lord Corlys, do join Jocelyn and I in our carriage. The walk to the docks from here is most tiresome and, worst of all, dreadfully boring; I promise my good daughter and I are excellent entertainment.”

A doodle of two of my favourite ladies from waaaaaaaaaaay back in Chapter 4 of Ex libris ❤️ this era of Targaryens is by far my favourite

“Slim and slight of frame, Alysanne was oft described as pretty but seldom as beautiful, though she was born of a house renowned for beauty. Her eyes were blue rather than purple, her hair a mass of honey-colored curls. No man ever questioned her wits.”

“Thrice I flew Silverwing high above Castle Black, and thrice I tried to take her north beyond the Wall,” Alysanne wrote to Jaehaerys, “but every time she veered back south again and refused to go. Never before has she refused to take me where I wished to go. I laughed about it when I came down again, so the black brothers would not realize anything was amiss, but it troubled me then and it troubles me still.”

Queen Alysanne and Rhaenys Targaryen ✨

A ruler needs a good head and a true heart,” she told the king. “A c•ck is not essential.”

“If Your Grace truly believes that women lack the wit to rule, plainly you have no further need of me.”

_ Alysanne.

Queen Alysanne mounted Silverwing within days and flew swiftly to the Vale […] It was 82 AC, and Her Grace arrived three moons before Daella was due to give birth.

“She will be a girl, wait and see. A daughter. I know it”

Princess Viserra Targaryen daughter of King Jaehaerys and Queen Alysanne. Viserra was the prettiest of the Kings daughters and she knew it, she would entertain young men and would often flirt and play games. She desired to become Queen and sought to marry one of her older brothers, in order to prevent this her mother betrothed her to an old lord. At the age of fifteen she was to be sent to white harbor to marry Lord Manderly, she escaped her rooms and rode her horse around kings landing in a last night of fun. She was thrown from her horse and died at the age of five and ten.

TG stans trying to use Andal law to justify Aegon’s claim to the throne: don’t bother.

Andal law states that a daughter comes before an uncle.

So…

Why was Aerea passed over for Jaehaerys?

Why was Rhaenys passed over for Baelon?

Why was Rhaenyra passed over for Daemon?

The only tradition I see here is the one where legitimate female heirs are passed over in favor of their uncles simply because they are women.

And just because the Targaryens converted to the Faith, that doesn’t mean that Andal law applies to them fully. There have been many situations where the Targaryens have been ‘excused’ so to speak.

Aegon the Conqueror was permitted to be married to Visenya and Rhaenys at the same time. The law against polygamy was overlooked this time. And just because the Targaryens decided not to practice it later on (possibly so as to not start another conflict with the Faith), that doesn’t mean that they couldn’t do it. They could have continued to do it and they would have gotten away with it. Why? Because they have dragons. Dragons = power.

Then there’s the law of exceptionalism which allows Targaryens to marry within the family. Another exception.

All in all, basing Aegon’s claim on tradition and Andal law is not helping his cause one bit. Because neither tradition nor Andal law had been 100% respected since the Conquest.

On the other hand, Rhaenyra’s claim is based on a royal decree and the oaths swore to her by the Lords of the Realm (which actually mean something). Where there is no specific law of succession when it comes to the Iron Throne, the King’s word is what matters.

So yes, Viserys had every legal right to make Rhaenyra, his firstborn child, his heir. Because the King’s word is law. It’s one of those situations where you have a certain amount of power but certain people (like Council members) expect you not to use it. Viserys did, and it caught everyone off guard. His decision was perfectly legit but didn’t fit with the traditional misogynistic mentality, not to mention with the ambitions of the Hightower upstarts.

I have heard plenty of people state that a King has to abide by the laws of the Realm and he cannot do whatever he wants.

Well, if that’s the case, then Jaehaerys should have been obliged by Andal law to make Rhaenys his heir after Prince Aemon died. But he didn’t. Because it would have put into question his own claim to the throne. So, he picked his other son, Prince Baelon.

Queen Alysanne knew the laws well, which is why she supported Rhaenys (not because of some “girl power” desire). She knew that according to tradition and law, Rhaenys was the rightful heir.

The rules are altered, respected or ignored whenever it suits the patriarchy. This is precisely what GRRM has been trying to convey.

Alicent’s son is not the rightful heir. His ascension was the consequence of Hightower ambition, sustained by certain Council members who would rather have a usurper on the throne than a legitimate ruler who is a woman.

One of the things that I love about the story of the Dance is that despite the patriarchy going strong, we still see that mentality is changing, hence how Rhaenyra had the most supporters (53 Houses). The Hightowers expected to take the throne easily with the support of the entire Realm, because they were convinced that no one would S choose a Queen over a King. They thought wrong.

“Ambition is no crime. Lord Corlys has done well for himself, done so as a result of his own skill, his own determination; such things should be admired.”

Alysanne cups her granddaughter’s cheek with a wry smile on her face, thumb stroking over skin flushed with indignation. “So quick to his defence?”

Finally finishing off a sketch I’ve had on my iPad for over a year! A moment from chapter two of Ex libris featuring my favourite grandmother-granddaughter duo ❤️

In your opinion, would Princess Viserra's fate have changed if she had been promised to Lord Manderly's heir, and not to him?

That is to say, if marriage to the Manderlys were necessary to formalize a pact with the North, perhaps a handsome husband of the same age who would make her Lady of White Harbor would be more interesting to the young princess.

I won't hold back. NOTHING about Viserra's storyline makes any sense short of all the characters having a stroke.

Perceptive and compassionate Alysanne, who previously demonstrated considerable matchmaking skills, suddenly becomes very bad at it. (Don't get me started on Elio Garcia's attempt to defend Alysanne's OOC behavior as her being jealous of her own daughter's beauty.)

Jaehaerys suddenly becomes an absentee father from the 1950s rather than, you know, a medieval king for whom his daughter's marriage is of the utmost political importance.

Septon Barth? Grand Maester Elysar? Both MIA.

Theomore Manderly? If he was truly canny, he would have seen the offer for what it was and declined it.

Its true, the best way to tie the North closer to the south (and more specifically the Iron Throne) short of House Stark is House Manderly. However, marrying Viserra, a princess (and the prettiest one at that) to Theomore entirely defeats that purpose. One, a fat man old enough to be your grandfather is hardly appealing on a personal level, especially to a teen princess who knows just how attractive she is. Two, any children Viserra had would come behind four wives' worth of stepchildren, practically guaranteeing that the future Lords of White Harbor won't share any direct blood ties to House Targaryen, which brings me to my third point. Marrying Viserra to Theomore more or less dooms Viserra's line to obscurity and she herself to a life of dependency on the charity of her stepson.

What, then, would have made way more sense? Marrying her to Desmond, who, as Theomore's great-grandson, would probably be fairly close in age to her, not to mention higher in the succession.

Now, to answer your question, yes I absolutely do believe Viserra might have lived a longer (and perhaps even fulfilling) life if her parents had picked someone other than Theomore Manderly to be her husband. Remember, the whole reason she was even out and about the night of her death was because she wanted to have fun one last time before resigning herself to her fate. If she had instead been looking forward to her wedding she wouldn't have had any incentive to sneak out, which makes the chances of her suffering a tragic accident the way she did in OTL astronomically lower.

Thanks for the question, @diegoedil

The Second Quarrel

🌕 🌖 🌗 🌘 🌑 🌒 🌓 🌔 🌕

After Jaehaerys proclaims his son will be heir over his granddaughter, Alysanne and he have their second monumental quarrel. Separating YN from her dear friend once again.

🌕 🌖 🌗 🌘 🌑 🌒 🌓 🌔 🌕

Masterlist

YN skipped around the red keep, having finished her lessons with the septa earlier she was excited to find Daemon or watch him as he practiced his lessons. She wished Gael could come watch him with her, but she was slower with her studies so she had to stay behind. On the way to the training yard, YN had the brilliant idea to visit her father. Deciding that this was a better course of action, YN detoured and hopped her way to her father’s council. Knowing that her mother would be there most likely made her go a little faster.

As soon as she was within earshot, YN slowed down. Having heard raised voices and seen the guards waver she questioned herself. The eight year old recognized her parents voices and started to make her way toward the room cautiously only to be stopped by the guards who showed a face of concern.

“Best not to interrupt, little princess.” One of the guards kindly said. Though both guards felt bad when YN looked at them with sadness. “Perhaps you can sit outside and wait for the queen?”

“No. I’ll see mama and daddy later.” YN said sadly. Before she went she placed her ear against the door to listen for a moment.

“... If your grace truly believes women lack the wit to rule, plainly you have no further need of me.” YN heard her mother’s angry voice.

Before anyone could leave, YN turned away and started to find the training yard. She stopped when she heard a slamming door and saw her mother storming her way towards her. The angry look on her mothers face made her nervous and made her want to forget about seeing Daemon.

“Mama…” YN tried to speak.

“YN. Get ready. We’re leaving for Dragonstone.” Alysanne told her child as she grabbed YN’s tiny hand in hers. “I’ll tell your septa to pack your things.”

“I wanted to say hello to Daemon…” YN whispered and teared up.

Alysanne sighed at this and ran her fingers through her daughter's silver hair. “Alright. Say your goodbyes to Daemon. Then come to your rooms immediately afterwards. Do not cry my love. I am not angry with you.”

YN wiped her eyes and continued her journey to the training yard. She knew Daemon would be there, since he took his training seriously. If he wasn’t learning the history of their house and of Valyria. YN thought he was very gifted and talented. He was one of her best friends after all. After Gael of course. So she tried to think of all the things she wanted to say to him, everything that was going through her mind. She hadn’t seen Daemon since her brother’s funeral. Her mother and father still wanted to keep them apart. YN never understood why, she loved spending time with Daemon. And assumed one day that he would be married to her older sister Gael as they were close in age and in the tradition of their house.

Eventually, after dragging her feet, YN found her way to the training yard. She smiled at the sight of her other brother Baelon with Daemon and Viserys. Baelon stopped his swordplay with his younger son to smile at his sister. Daemon followed his father’s gaze and instantly beamed when he saw his favorite person.

“Ah YN. Has mother released you to us?” Baelon asked and knelt to his sister, accepting her kiss on his cheek.

“I need to speak to Daemon.” YN stated and walked toward Daemon after Baelon nodded to her.

“I’ve missed you since that day of the funeral. It is terrible that we were reunited under such a sad moment.” Daemon tried to charm. But as usual it went over YN’s head.

“I have so much to say but I don’t know how to say it.” YN said looking down at her hands.

“You can say everything to me.” Daemon reassured. Then was taken aback by YN reaching forth and hugging him tightly.

“Mama and papa got in another fight. And now I’m to go away to Dragonstone.” YN whimpered and placed her face on his shoulder.

“So you'll be gone. Again?”

“I hate being away. But I’m pulled like a toy between mama and papa. I only have Gael.” YN cried.

“You have me.” Daemon pulled back and placed his hands on her upper arms looking at her sad face. “We’ll write. We’ll keep in touch. They can’t keep us apart from each other.”

“You’re one of my best friends. Do you promise to write me? Even if I’m not that smart or interesting?” YN asked.

“I’ll keep you in check of everything that happens here. You can’t get rid of me.” Daemon tried to kiss her on the cheek, but YN unknowingly pulled away and smiled at him. Before he could say anything else, YN walked away from him not paying attention to his intense gaze on her back.

After saying goodbye to Viserys and Baelon, YN did as her mother said and made her way to her room. She sighed at the sight of her septa packing her clothes away in cases and did as the septa said. Staying out of the way and grabbing her toy carved clay turtle. YN asked where her mother was, but got her answer when she heard shouting from another room. Slinking away to the other room and regretting it instantly when she saw her beloved parents fighting once again.

“YOU’LL NOT TAKE MY DAUGHTER FROM ME!” Jaehaerys shouted.

“Why shouldn’t I?! You place no value in women! No value in your daughters!” Alysanne bit back.

“YN is my youngest child! My most precious girl! I’ll not allow you to take her!” Her father yelled.

“So you can force her to marry?! So you can hold her as less than a man?! I know your heart and you care nothing for our girls! You’ve not even asked about Gael!”

Jaehaerys sighed angrily. “I have my reasons for what I do Alys!”

“So do I! And YN is coming with me! I dare you to try and take her!”

“Fine! Take her! Separate her from her father and see how quickly she begins to hate you!”

“You’ll never turn my daughter against me!”

The argument ended with another slammed door. YN silently used the other door to leave. Silently sitting on her bed in her and Gael’s room. Bowing her head down and crying as quietly as she could. She didn’t want to leave. She hated her parents fighting, especially over her. Blaming herself for the fight and not being brave enough to stop it. She hated leaving Daemon, hated being put above her playmate Gael.

Gael noticed her favorite sister crying on the bed. Making her way over and sitting next to her. She wrapped her arms around her younger sister and tried comforting her. Gael was not as fast or as witty as others but she could always be there for her sister. The two understood each other better than anyone.

Humming a song, Gael calmed her sister down. Then hugged her tight.
