Well, in-universe, there was already an uncle-niece marriage that produced two kings. Cannoli Send a noteboard - 29/08/2017 10:08:27 PM

Nephew to aunt is closer but of course people back then didn't understand genetics. Within royalty I don't think it would raise any eyebrows. After King Tut died his uncle married Tut's sister. Since John's claim to the throne is better than hers marriage is really the only solution.


I'm pretty sure no one in Westeros would know who you are talking about.

Isn't incest really only a genetic problem if you do it over several generations? aerocontrols - 28/08/2017 05:04:06 PM 655 Views
The problem is that Targaryens have been doing it. It's why Viserys and Aerys were nuts. Ghavrel - 28/08/2017 07:22:28 PM 556 Views
Yes, true. If the genetics are perfect and there are no mutations then there is no genetic issue. The Shrike - 28/08/2017 08:06:57 PM 628 Views

We're worrying about scientific verisimilitude, when they say a medieval city has a million people? Cannoli - 29/08/2017 06:23:10 AM 915 Views
Ancient Rome actually is estimated to have just around one million at its peak. Ghavrel - 05/09/2017 11:10:10 PM 593 Views
Still a higher level of development than a medieval society *NM* Cannoli - 13/09/2017 04:29:03 PM 311 Views
