The Hoare

I believe nowhere in Planetos has anything like the rule of law

Because knighthood is a andal tradition and deeply tied to the Seven

Oh god a decade already

Westeros is inferior in everything except military. I think Westeros is to the Free Cities what medieval England was to the italian republics.

To be fair, it could be that this wasn't laugh at all and it was just interpreted as such by Waymar's

I imagine the lords would not like a more centralised kingdom

They managed to beat all andal conquerors

R+L=J I would prefer Jon's father to be Ned and his mother a fishermen's daughter

Westeros, honestly. Otherwise he'll never finish WoW

I suppose peasants are de facto slaves in Westeros.

I don't think so. They have higher living standards as slaves than as freemen

I suppose this only applies to the lowest strata of slaves, not the learned and skilled. We've seem that some of these slaves even petitioned to be sold to slavery again.
