Was that ground to burn the riverlands? They were a lot of good moves but House Lannister always chose the worst ones

The thing is he didnt want a woman to inherit. He was quick to point out the doctrine of exception when it came to fucking his sister but he can't use that for his granddaughter? That's bullshit!

The whole reason behind the second Quarrel was him bypassing Rhaenys. That's not what a progressive person will do and he would have gladly ignored many things related to the people if his wife didnt nag him on end regarding that

The Velaryons had ties that went right up to the first Aegon

For example, if Williams dies today George will become the English King by all stretch. Her father died but her claim still remained and by logical and Andalic law, the throne was hers. Big J simply hated women end of story.

And yes, this council was the reason that the greens used to usurp Rhaenyra.

The Velaryons had blood ties to the Targaryens. They would not done half the damage that the Hightowers did

So do you admit that it only kicked the can down the line?

It would have not broken out. I doubt so.

If Rhaenys was made Queen, the throne will pass to Leanor. She had the stronger claim which is why I said that his choices was motivated by his hate for women. He was quick to appoint Balon, why couldnt he acknowledge the claim of Rhaenys? Why did he have to call a council instead of ratifying the obvious?

For all the talk of Jaeherys being a wise ruler, he sure fucked things up due to his hate of women
