Bright Blue Eyes Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 No doubt. But critizising somebody's education is not the way to go. Medieval times is something really european/near east centric, other continents experienced vastly different time periods.I don't go rubbing some US noses in their grandparents taking them to Disney castles while mine took me to the Trifels and other real ones. Except when I really feel like it :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mladen Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 I think Mladen just thought that Audrey Arryn would have learnt about Medieval history.It was just respond on impolite post... But I do believe that people should learn a thing or two about European medieval history during reading process of ASOIAF... You don't need to learn all the Kings of England, but couple of facts are more than useful...No doubt. But critizising somebody's education is not the way to go. Medieval times is something really european/near east centric, other continents experienced vastly different time periods.As I said, didn't criticize someone's education... But, I do believe that knowing some facts is useful while reading ASOAIF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkaggCannibal Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 You could compare it with those other two wills, but I think there is another comparison much more fitting, the supposed legitimation of Daemon Blackfyre and the multiple civil wars it caused. Cat made a very accurate analysis of the possible consequences of the will. And it's true. Maybe the current generation (Jon, Sansa, Rickon, Bran) are to much friends to fight each other, but the next generation may not have such restraints. Both Rickon's and Jon's children can both believe they are the legitimate heir to the Northern throne. Lets just hope Jon will not father any children, because the problems caused by it could go on for generations to come (fAegon). Another solution would be the North as a part of the realm rather than independent, making Robb only a rebel and incapable of legitimasing a bastard. Anyway, I'm on team Cat-Rickon-Sansa should there ever be a Stark-strife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 [mod]People have different types of high school education depending on where they are from. Leave it at that and try not to assume that someone has learned something specific in their schooling. On the flip side, assume good faith and don't take such an assumption as an insult.[/mod] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raining Blood Magic Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 The war really hasn't stopped. It might be at a trickle but it is still flowing. I imagine if their is another "Kings will story arc" the results of it will be big time slaughterfest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
