How do you handle two highborns fighting over a highborn lady?

Some fight in duels for dumb stuff like carrying their favor (Blackwood and Bracken for princess Rhaenyra) other fight duels for the girls hand (Petyr vs Brandon for Cat, even though her dad wouldn't approve).

 

But we haven't seen any duels? Its only been trials by combat and duels wouldn't work the same? Iirc Dunk vs Longinch in tSS is called a duel, but that one went down just like a tbc.

It worked for Bronn

Bronn won by showing up since nobody would take Lollys Stokeworth, who was overweight, mentally handicapped and gang-raped.

The ward called dibs on Sansa but Cat the ambitious would do what she can to break it off and encourage Sansa's interest in Joffrey.  Sansa is like to change her tune and drop the poor ward because Joffrey is a better prospect in her eyes.  

Why would Cat encourage Sansa’s interest in a prick like Joffrey, who insulted Robb and tried to have Bran assassinated?

As already stated the father of the highborn women will ultimately decide who she will marry. If two nobles are going to fight over a women she is likely to be low born or bastard.

Tell that to Littlefinger and Brandon Stark.

A little social climbing for the family.  More honor.  Higher status.  She took after dad.  The man who wanted to marry his daughter to a high lord.

And look what that bought when one of his daughters murdered her husband.

Cat didn't know of the later, Ned and Cat had the idea that bringing Bran to KL would help cure the relationship between Robb and Joffrey(dumb ideai, I know) and Joffrey was the heir to the IT, can't get a better match than this.

My biggest problem with Sansa and her feelings for Joffrey is that nothing change even after Lady gets killed by Cersei orders... she still trusted the Lannisters after that.
