purple-eyes Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Firstly I thought they are like secondary wives. Not as important as primary one for sure, but still spouses. Then I noticed that they are more like slaves! It seems they are in a very low class. Do we have historical examples for this? Another question, when noble man or princes were young, how was their sexual education? They can go to whorehouse, of course, but if they do not want to go there or their family feel it shameful (like Tywin), then what should they do? Will their parents give them a couple of chamber maids to learn these things? What if they have children then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipewrenched Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Yeah, the salt wife sounded almost as if they were a "trophy" of sorts I'll have to read some of those parts again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSovereignGrave Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Salt wives are sex slaves with a fancy name whose sons can inherit if the Ironborn in question has no sons by his real (Rock) wife. By Ironborn tradition, they are considered secondary wives of a sort but they're still thralls nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
