(And ASOIAF's average marrying age isn't 12 anyway, just sayin)
People shouldn't think that they know History because they read ASOIAF or watched GOT,
And people shouldn't punish an author for creating a fantasy world that doesn't 100% check up with our world
litany against the GOTification of history.
#besides I'd say that he always goes for the less happy thing to happen#and the most unfortunate choice for the characters to take#in a murphyan way of anything that can go wrong will wrong#like ASOIAF world is a murphyan world#or a romeo and juliet world where Romeo will fault his stars when he is actually terrible at making choices#do they also believe thay family affairs usually ended up with a 0 survivors rate as in shakespearean tragedies?#asoiafs youngest brides Sansa and Dany were *13*#catelyn was closer to 20#Mya Stone is considering marriage at 19#Bronn is more tha 30 when he marries#Tyrion is 27-28?#Brandon Stark would have been 20#Alys Karstark is 17ish#the average is around 20 and the median is 19#this is not to contradict OP but the people who not only have hist facts wrong but GOT facts wrong too
