    In a way, he had a point. In alliances like these, there will be marriage pacts right behind it. And Rhaenyra thought House Baratheon would support her just because a Targaryen who is way behind the inheritance line has Baratheon blood. She should’ve offered Borros Joffrey Velaryon’s hand to one of his daughters at best.

    This correctly shows how irresponsible and selfish the Targaryens were and are to the Baratheons, ever since Aegon made them Lord Paramount and Jaehaerys purposely passed over Rhaenys things have never been the same since then.

      I’ve always wondered if House Stark would’ve supported the Black faction without the marriage proposal, since Cregan Stark’s father Rickard Stark had sworn an oath to basically make sure Rhaenyra gets on the Iron Throne when she was announced as heir by her father. House Stark rarely breaks oaths, especially in the time period from and up to the Dance of Dragons.

    Westeros in general is pretty sexist (except for Dorne). Lord Borros is just doing exactly what everyone else did when it came to men inheriting over women.

      Custom has always been that titles passed to the firstborn son over any daughter though, except in Dorne.
      You can see why people wouldn't be comfortable with that rule being done away with and it can open up a whole can of worms. Let's say for example that you and I are both lords but I'm married to your older sister, what's stopping me from invading you to claim her birthright?
      Plus Queen Rhaenyra is hardly a great person in her own right. The parentage of her kids was always suspect (and confirmed in the show), she is married to prince Daemon who while popular with the peasants of KL isn't exactly on the best of terms with nobles of Westeros and a bit of a loose cannon in his own right.
      Aegon is a bit inept for sure but at least he's the first born and many hoped that he would die anyway and would be replaced by his far more adapt brother Aemon.

And seeing how easily they disregarded the king's declared heir and the oaths they swore to him and her to uphold her... Going off your example, you can just as easily toss aside the promise and protection that a marriage is supposed to bring between two houses.
      "Well, we all ignored the king's decree and renounced our oaths, right? So why should I still be expected to uphold some promise to a lesser lord?"
      Also, Rhaenyra's character is immaterial because if you apply that logic universally, Aegon should have been aborted from the Red Keep years ago. And speaking of inheritance, customs, oaths, etc... going back to your implied logic in your example and then apply it to the apparent wishful thinking others had for Aemond... Imagine if younger siblings had the same disregard as apparently lords who marry eldest sisters do in your example? There would be a civil war every time there was a younger sibling who entertained the idea that they could do a better job.

    each house determines its rules, he shouldn't have an opinion about it, if he didn't agree, he just didn't give his word when he took the oath. Furthermore, when Luke gives the letter to Rhaenyra, it is the citadel's maester loyal to the Hightowers who reads it, so we will never know what was said that made him so angry. It really is a shame what a fool Jaehaerys was to leave the choice to the sheep and elect a weakling as king.

    Ugh, another character that just makes things worse. Did Borros get to see his boy? What about the boy's name? Dear sweet karma.

    Completely sexist. She isn’t his daughter’s and she was named heir. The fact he even looks so lowly of her is disrespectful. This is why they shouldn’t marry outside their family and split power.

      Honestly 100%, I have recommended for this channel to be shut down bc its diverting from ASOIAF content into woke culture.
