There is no age of consent in such a mindset, I was referring to the age of majority. Cannoli Send a noteboard - 30/06/2016 02:59:51 AM

Strictly speaking, no one has consent. A husband does not require his wife's consent, and extramarital sex is adultery or fornication, and similarly illicit. My point about Lyanna is that she was not old enough to make her own decision about marriage. She was very likely a minor at the point she came into Rhaegar's company (whether willing or not), and had no lawful right to break her betrothal to Robert or to accept a proposal for a the fan-theorized polygamous marriage with marriage.

If we accept a "medieval" mindset, the age of consent was likely 12. *NM* - 28/06/2016 08:42:57 PM 513 Views
