The Wondering Wolf

What I find interesting is that his age does not even come up when he is made master of laws. It is only mentioned when he is introduced in 54 AC and when he is a suitor for Daella in 80 AC, so you can easily miss that he was only 16 in 60 AC. The first time I noticed his young age, I was really surprised, but I guess it is alright since he is described as an erudite young man.

What about Rodrik Arryn?

Stage 13 and 14 were not quite as I had expected. UAE did all the work just for Pogacar gaining 8 seconds on a stage that favoured him? And today I thought Jumbo Visma would be more dominating in the end and Vingegaard would be the one to attack. But van Aert returning for a last stand on the last climb and Vingegard coming back after Pogacar's attack was really thrilling.

I don't think in this case it is about vengeance or justice, but about kicking a genocidal force out of your country, so saying Ukraine is allowed to use cluster munition because Russia does the same is not a good argument in my opinion. Even if Russia had not used it right from the beginning of the war, Ukraine could rightfully consider to use it on their own territory. The only issue I can see is the danger it causes for civilians. On the other hand Ukrainian Minister of Defence Reznikov said they wouldn't use it in urban areas but only against Russian troop concentrations. Since Russia has heavily mined these areas after all, it's not like people could just return there after a liberation anyway. I admit it's not a choice I would like to make, but in my opinion in the end every dead Ukrainian is on Russia. Using cluster munition bears risks, not using it also does.

F&B error for the errata page: And truly, with Vhagar dead at last, the oldest and largest living dragon in all Westeros was Vermithor, once the mount of the Old King, now that of Hard Hugh the bastard. (F&B, Rhaenyra Overthrown) At this point the lords in Tumbleton don't know about Dreamfyre's death, so Vermithor can be the largest dragon, but not the oldest one. If the lords knew about Dreamfyre's death (or the line was meant to be an objective statement by Gyldayn), Dreamfyre should be mentioned together with Vhagar. So either with Vhagar dead at last, the and largest living dragon in all Westeros was Vermithor or with Vhagar and Dreamfyre dead at last, the oldest and largest living dragon in all Westeros was Vermithor. Then there was an addition to the Rise of the Dragon errata page that I am not sure about. While F&B doesn't say that Rhaenyra knew about Daemon's death, the text does not exclude the possibility either. It would mean the Shepherd could do his gatherings and preachings for a longer period of time, but that is not impossible. @Ran Can you confirm that Rhaenyra knowing about Daemon's death is not an error?

Looks like Prigozhin is more a Pompey than a Caesar. So fleeing to Africa is the next move. Although there might be some leader there who wants to do Putin a favour...

Is this secure knowledge? Haven't seen anything about it so far.

You've presented your theory, building assumption on assumption on assumption (which by itself is fine), but you are irritated that someone doesn't buy it? I think having different opinions and reasonings is the core of a discussion board. But I've got the feeling it's getting unnecessarily personal now, so just let us leave it here.

No need to get patronising. Assuming that Larissa was second Daemon's daughter or niece, she would have been the great-great-granddaughter of Valaena's mother (also assuming Valaena was first Daemon's sister). Not what I would call recent Targaryen ancestry. Now you can find reasons for any match between an aged lord and a young lady, doesn't change the fact these matches exist (and Walder Frey wouldn't have any power over the Rosbys or Farrings). Those lords remarry all the times (Unwin Peake, Walter Brownhill, Jasper Wylde) and they find nobles who are willing to give away their daughters, who in turn get taken care of. It's not always a great deal for the fathers, but getting rid of daughters seems to be an important point. So ten or eleven year old Aegon impregnates the favourite girl of his sister which results in her being sent away and Rhaena doesn't care? Ok, you can say she somehow didn't know, the issue of Aegon's age remains. Or Maegor raped a girl without any repercussions? He wasn't even a dragonrider back then. I just don't see it. But we don't have to discuss this topic to death, I just wanted to raise my objections and I think I did.

What about the wives of Lord Frey for example? There must be many elderly lords all around the realm who want to marry again (all these guys Doran presented to Arianne) and many of them would marry a young girl whose dad is glad to find a place for his daughter where she's taken care of. It looks like she was the great-great-great-granddaughter of a male Targaryen. The fandom is much more obsessed with characters who have a drop of Targaryen blood than the realm is. I have to admit I don't like all these secret bastard ancestry theories, especially not the ones which say the bastard's line eventually marries back into some great house. In my opinion that's most unlikely. Her ties to court were just cut off, so not sure this former relations would mean anything. I've already given my reasoning regarding that one. Larrisa was involved in an affair of inappropriate behaviour, and to prevent this happening again with someone else, she was married off. I think it's a little reference to the current Lord Estermont, which doesn't necessarily mean that back then something suspicious was going on, too. I think you would have a point that something was going on about Larissa's dismissal if it wasn't heavily implied Rhaena had very close relations to her "favourites".

The daughter of a second son marries an aged lord. I don't see anything suspicious about that. Theomore Manderly had three wives, before Alysanne wanted to marry Viserra to him. Walder Frey gets one young wife after another. Leyton Hightower has his fourth wife now, and she's rather young, too. And these are only the examples I remember right now.

We can see with Margaerys's ladies that not all of them are of the same age, so Larissa could have been easily two or three years older than Rhaena. If Larissa's father had wanted to make sure his daughter wouldn't get involved again in whatever she had been, he could have decided to marry her off quickly. The idea of women needing a husband to drive out inappropriate behavior can be found in the main books, too. A lot of people who aren't important at all get mentioned in F&B.

I don't see how this supports your point. Larissa was married to the second son of Lord Tarth and had a daughter with him.

In my opinion Larissa wasn't pregnant at all, but there are a lot of hints that she and Rhaena were much more closer than it was considered acceptable. I guess they were caught doing inappropriate things and Alyssa sent her niece away to avoid some scandal. Larissa's father then quickly married her off to prevent her from further inappropriate behaviour.

That's exactly what I'm not sure about. Wouldn't be the first time TWOAF got it wrong. Nothing in F&B indicates Kayce was taken at any point. Ok, maybe the fact that Dalton took the widow of the Knight of Kayce as salt wife, but I would have expected some mention of the event. Anyway, we won't solve it this time. Thanks for clearing up the uncle thing.

Still not sure about that one. There is no mention of Kayce falling to the Ironborn at all in F&B, and the text indicates it was successfully protected rather than retaken: Desperate to protect her people, Lady Johanna at last donned a man’s mail to lead the men of Lannisport and Casterly Rock against the foe. The songs tell of how she slew a dozen ironmen beneath the walls of Kayce, but those may be safely put aside as the work of drunken singers (Johanna carried a banner into battle, not a sword). Her courage did help inspire her westermen, however, for the raiders were soon routed and Kayce was saved. The fighting took place beneath the walls, not on the walls, and usually 'routing the enemy' doesn't refer to the taking of a city (in this case the enemy would be trapped inside).

The list of historical members of House Greyjoy lists four uncles of Dalton, stating two died during Johanna Lannister's invasion on the islands. I can't find a source for these two uncles, though.

The page for the war for the Stepstones says that the outcome was a victory for the Triarchy. I am not sure this is accurate, though. Since there were still kings on the islands when the Daughters' War began, it seems to me that the Triarchy did not regain the Stepstones after Daemon had left, so while the Westerosi might not have won in the end, the Triarchy did neither.

Maybe it would help to add an "(executed)" behind their names so it's clear for readers that they didn't die during the battle itself. You are right that they aren't actual casualties from the battle, on the other hand their death is a direct result of the battle, so I think it's ok to leave them there as long as there is some sort of clarification.

I am not sure about some information given in the infobox of the Fall of King's Landing article. Commanders: I think Rhaenyra is missing as nominal commander of the blacks. On the other hand, I would remove Otto Hightower and Jasper Wylde. The former didn't even have any office at that point, and both of them aren't said to have acted as commanders in any way. I don't know about Gwayne Hightower, he was only second in command of the gold cloaks. Strength: There wasn't any army of Daemon, since he came on his own. The blacks had an army which consisted of men from the crownlands. Where does this "few hundred knights, crossbowmen and men-at-arms" come from? I don't think we are given any numbers, and crossbowmen are not mentioned at all. Casualties: While there was some fighting at one of the gates, it was a rather easy victory for the blacks and TWOIAF says the city fell "with little bloodshed" in comparison to the executions which took place in the aftermath. So "hundreds of green loyalists" is an assumption not based on the texts.

I think Aegon would have got the same education as every other Targaryen prince or lord paramount's son. In my opinion there's no hint that he was prepared in any meaningful way for being king.

Where do you get the idea from that Aegon the Elder was prepared to rule?

The template for the Dance of the Dragons says that the fall of King's Landing took place before the Battle at the Red Fork, although F&B covers the latter first.

Do you have an idea about the number of characters whose status is unknown to us? Could be confusing if they are depicted alive when it's actually unclear.
