beautiful illustration, I've read some of the books and the Kings in them are wimps compared to some of our ancient Irish Kings. Under old Irish laws a prospective King had to be physically whole, so if some chieftain looked like he was overambitious he ended up blinded, gelded or had fingers chopped off making him unfit to be elected to the throne.



Another King - Dermot of Leinster had the son of an enemy skinned, jointed and sent back to the over ambitious father in a sack, another story claimed he kicked the head of another enemy like a football after a battle. Our kings could probably out drink Robert Baratheon as well
