#aren't y'all proud? and im doing this while cranky as fuck

So I am no medieval history expert, but I keep trying to rationalize the Throne room scene with Loki and the W4. I think something missed often in the discussion is that they are not peasants, they are lesser nobility (Sif is a "Lady" like the "Lord" title). They come off as fucking stupid not even hiding that they wanted to attack Loki and barely held back while thinking he's dangerous.

The only other explanation that doesn't make them seem fucking dumb would be that Loki has a shaky hold on the court of Asgard because he's perceived as a weak and shady ruler despite the lack of evidence. And they know this. What if they wanted to force a Magna Carta out of Loki being that they're lesser nobility and Loki is an unpopular king with a shaky hold?

Weren't monarchies a constant power struggle between Lords and Kings?
