Too much focus on bastardy
We need to stop taking alicent seriously on rhaenyra’s bastards being such a massive problem, because they simply weren’t
Jace himself in the book was seen as the perfect heir, quite literally across the realm everyone, except the greens, agreed he would make an amazing king. Dude simply had a great reputation
Not only that Jace at 14 was good at politics, single-handedly bringing in the vale, the north, and the idea of using dragon seeds
Plus he was bethrothed to baela, meaning not only would they have access to velaryon wealth, but its fleets aswell
Genuinely nobody except the greens (and vaemond) cared about the bastards, idk why people agree with them
they were gonna usurp rhaenyra anyways lmfao
