Prince Yourwetdream Aeryn Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 If the point is to make him older than Quentyn she could born in 280 AC or Quentyn's birth could be changed. If Arianne and Aegon VI marry she will be in control of her marriage and kingdom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalkinDude Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 No more than Cersei was in control under Robert. Assuming Aegon VI gets the throne at any point and Arianne is his queen, there's no way she has any real power over the kingdom. This isn't the TV show.

Loge Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Arianne was supposed to marry Viserys, who was the same age as she. Aegon is plan B. Plan C, actually, after Quentyn's mission failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asongofheresy Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Because Arianne was supposed to marry Viserys. And why does everyone assumes she will marry Aegon VI? She doesn't know anything about her cousin, doesn't know anything about Jon Connington, doesn't have a single person in her group that actually knows the Griffin Lord, doubts the legitimacy of Aegon, and fixated on Daenerys' return and the dragons. Actually another reason for her odd age is the AFFC Martell retcon. Pre-AFFC Doran was married to a young woman likely to outlive him, so Tywin can't marry Cersei to Doran, but in AFFC we learn Mellario left Doran years ago, he is free to marry if High Septon can divorce them. I think it is possible Arianne was supposed to be the young wife of Doran, with Trystane their first child, and has a relationship with Arys Oakheart, and achieve power over IT by crowning her good daughter, but GRRM seem to retcon this.

The Ned's Little Girl Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I think it's because we're supposed to wonder that someone in her position would still be unmarried at her age. Also, the fact that her father kept throwing obviously unsuitable possible husbands at her. Those are hints for Doran's secret plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baelor 'Breakspear' Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Because the original plan wat to marry her with Visery, not Aegon. So basically, GRRM made her to be to a logical age for both Aegon and Viserys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
