While I totally get the concern about Rhaenyra's children not being legitimate, I admit I am a little confused about the supposed premium placed on virtue. It just seems out of sync with the general vibe of the show. Allicent is the first to call for protection of virtue but she was seducing the King while he was grieving. And I find it REALLY hard to buy that Criston is just standing around serving as the King's guard with seemingly no consequences. And that Rhaenyra up and took up with another dark haired dude part of her guard and has been with him for many years. Like, she and Laenor never tried? Anyway, I think all of that is a bit of a mess, but I am fascinated with all the children.

In any situation where lineage is important for inheritance, title, etc, there is a tremendous double standard. Men can sleep around all they want because there’s no threat that illegitimate children could inherit. Women are kept on a tight leash to ensure that there’s no chance for anyone outside the marriage to father a child. [/quote]
