Dalton Greyjoy is a canonical child groom and I've never seen anyone talking about it...
He's the only example of a child groom (outside of the Targaryens) that I can think of... and it's so weird that he has FOUR marriages already at 14 (ambiguity left to say he could have gotten married even younger) and fathers his first son at 14-15 but no one mentiones it.
#asoiaf#valyrianscrolls#dalton greyjoy#I need more information about the historical Greyjoys George#sexuality in the iron islands... I need more information#it's the only place on Westeros with a marriage by proxy and legal polygamy#a place with a different marriage system and rape as a religious belief would definitely have a different view on consent#but I find it so odd that they have a child groom as Lord and no one questions why is Dalton getting married so young#is it normal for them? was he an exception? is this classic grrm being bad at math?
