Comment on Alicent's Baby

  1. Curious to see how ur going to explain Otto trying to place a bastard on the throne. The Greens main argument in the show was Rhaenyra's kids were bastards. The faith hates bastards. How can they justify given the throne to a bastard since Viserys hasn't married Alicent yet. At least in the show Rhaenyra and Laenor were married and he claimed the kids as his. Cant wait to see how Otto tries to claim the throne with a bastard.

    1. The premise here is the Biblical version of betrothal where the engagement is legally binding and the couple is seen as being "married" before having an official wedding service. Granted, marriages weren't consumated until after the official wedding, but if the engaged couple were to separate, they still needed to get an annulment or divorce.
      Basically, I'm going to use that as how the Faith teaches and preaches. Engaged= Married.

    2. Here's the thing Nikki. That's not stopping Otto and his cronies. And I think they will 100 percent play on the Misogyny reasons (in the earlier scripts of the Dance of Dragons her kids were legitimate with another husband and the Hightowers still rebelled cause they didn't want a women on the throne)
