Queen Daenerys and her king consort, Jon, took an active hand in the education of their three children. Rhaella, the Princess of Dragonstone, and her younger brothers, Aemon and Jaehaerys, served as a cupbearers and pages, attending both court and small council meetings from their earliest years so they would know the ways of governance and politics as well as they knew how to walk or fly.Â

It terrifies you. That you missed out on something. That you gave up something you didnât know you wanted. What was it? Was it a boy? Was it a vocation? Or was it a whole life?

The problem started with stirrups.
So Iâve been working on writing Merlin fanfic and, like a moron, I decided I wanted it to be more historically accurate because the actual canon is a shitshow about that.
I start doing some writing, some researching, and discover that stirrups wonât arrive in Britain until the 10th century or so. King Arthur is like⊠early 500âČs roughly.
So no stirrups. Thatâs not a big problem. Except it is argued that it might have been a major contributor to feudalism. Which, ok, good to know. So Arthur is pre-feudalism, got it. Shouldnât change too much, right? (wrong)
Oh, whatâs this that feudalism requires for those new wealthy landowners?
Fucking. Primogeniture.
(friendly reminder: this is the right of inheritance for the firstborn son. Like for land, or titles of nobility⊠or kings)
So if my research is right, King Arthur didnât have an inherent right to the throne because he was the firstborn male heir. He was fucking ELECTED. (or maybe a lady in the lake threw a sword at him, who knows, this is all myth anyway)
But the fucking kicker?
The thing that DOESNâT EXIST in King Arthurâs time?? Because feudalism wonât show up for several centuries?
Fucking.
Knights.
In summary, the story of King Arthur is just modern day fanfiction from medieval/feudal Europe with rampant OCs, overpowered everyone, too much fucking drama, and like three different werewolves.
Also no stirrups.
this is how i learned young thereâs no such thing as canon
King Arthur was ahistorical fanfic in the 12th century when the tales as we know them took shape, and in every retelling since then. Itâs basically always been about projecting the authorâs values backwards in time to an idealized past.
Thereâs literally a book exploring this and how modern retellings have continued the spirit of High Medieval versions called Silk and Potatoes: Contemporary Arthurian Fantasy. Because silk and potatoes, like stirrups, knights, and feudalism, also didnât exist in post-Roman Britain.
There really is no âhistorically accurateâ way to write King Arthur. Even attempts to set the story in the 6th century are constructed ahistorical fantasies. You basically just have to decide which brand of anachronism you want to go with.
Which is why the Good Omens Arthurian scene was aggressively anachronistic.
