period-typical sexism

When she awoke to a new life in Westeros, Ursula Mires nearly did the smart thing. Only a year away from becoming sworn to the Faith as a septa and being free to live in relative comfort and safety in one of the more prestigious Reach cloisters, she was content with her lot in life. Her advice, slowly fed to her father over many years, had enabled her family to survive the Dance and rise in station. House Mires had its legacy secured, until tragedy struck early that winter. Now Ursula is heir to a floundering House she does not want, in a war-torn land that she must drag out of the mud. Many ladies are in her position in what maesters would later call ‘the winter of widows’. Only Ursula knows what is coming next, and she’s not sure if her house will survive it.

If there is any principle Fanny believes in with all her heart, it is that her brilliant, bossy big sister is meant to be here, with her, on this Earth, for as long as possible.

The Lord of Light willed it so that Stannis Baratheon may never have a male heir. But in two marriages -- one to his beloved from House Vaeleris, and another to a religious zealot of House Florent -- two daughters were born. Unlike a son, they would never be able to rule Dragonstone in the way the laws of men dictate. His eldest, Rhaena Baratheon, would need to marry and Stannis determined there were no men more honourable than those of House Stark.
