There are hints that she did not. Cannoli Send a noteboard - 28/06/2016 01:56:25 PM

I thought it was bad; I know she was kidnapped, but not if she hated the man? If it was bad, his name might be Starky. Likely one syllable, two at a push.

In Meera's story of the little crannogman, if we take the "she-wolf" to be Lyanna, and the "dragon prince" to be Rhaegar, she was moved to tears by his musical performance. If she disliked him, she was pretty much alone in that opinion by all recollections, except maybe people who hate Rhaegar for his role in her death. Even Ned's recollections about Rhaegar don't jibe with the ostensible reputation - at one point, when ruminating on Robert's bastard by a hooker, he doubts that Rhaegar had ever visited brothels. Assuming your sister's rapist was of too fine a character to engage a prostitute is a huge mental leap...unless he knew the man was not a rapist.

Technically, Rhaegar was a statutory rapist and kidnapper (as the original connotation of the former term had more to do with theft than violation), because Lyanna was not legally free to consent to their relationship. She died at sixteen, at the end of a war that lasted a year, so she was likely underage when Rhaegar took her away from her fiance, in addition to the issue of having a fiance in the first place.

Did Lyanna like Rhaegar? I can't remember their story. - 28/06/2016 01:29:17 PM 687 Views

If we accept a "medieval" mindset, the age of consent was likely 12. *NM* - 28/06/2016 08:42:57 PM 439 Views

Are you being ironic? - 01/07/2016 11:44:23 AM 700 Views
There is no age of consent in such a mindset, I was referring to the age of majority. - 30/06/2016 02:59:51 AM 605 Views
