spill on the conquest era bolton bc im currently developing a bolton wife of the king who knelt and i fear i might be becoming extremely boltonpilled
So there isn’t that much on the Boltons in this era… there’s plenty for Age of Heroes and around the Rebellion but not much for this time…
All of the important Sara ancestors are women, ofc, I don’t have many male OCs
So during the conquest… the Boltons have bent the knee and all that, but I like the idea of whoever the Lady Bolton at the time is being very anti-targ (for a surprise reason I’ll share shortly) and like lowkey she wants to skin Aegon. She’s never seen a dragon, she doesn’t know that they’re Like That. Everyone is a pussy bitch in her opinion and they just need to stand up. Okay so Lady Bolton (none of them have names yet sorry!) joins her Lord husband and travels to Winterfell to raise banners, but then Torrhen kneels. Now picture this. She laughs at Aegon and Torrhen and her husband quite openly, claims none of them have a stomach for war, all that good stuff. Not a lot happens really it just sets up the next part.
I cannot remember who it was or where I saw it but there was a bunch of ‘what if Aegon III had married Barba and how freaky and uncanny would their babies be’ content a while back.
Why the fuck doesn’t Maegor take a Northern wife? (I know, I know, logistics, but I don’t care)
So that Lady Bolton I already mentioned? Lowkey evil. Lowkey becomes penpals with Visenya bc they lowkey have a lot in common.
So when Maegor can’t get an heir out of his brides? A frigid Northern bombshell has entered the villa.
She’s manipulative as fuuuck. Like Sara but without the daddy issues, she has mommy issues instead!
She’s also gay with it. Tyanna at the very least. Probably dabbles a little in blood magic for fun.
The freaky stillborns Jeyne and Alys have… give Lady Bolton one. She has the last one and very shortly before he kills himself (I stand by this) and she’s convinced either him or Visenya will murder her, so flees back to the North… with the fuckass baby, dead or alive. I think also the baby definitely lives but she doesn’t tell anyone. Like scary vampire features Bolton genes with the silver hair and all that… and then the draconic features too? Oh, the character design is peak.
Very minimal thoughts on these two I’m afraid but I’ll think more on it eventually. I just think Boltons should have more female members and be more prominent.
