Summary
After years of War, the Crownlands have been defeated. The Baratheons, deposed in the Crownlands Revolution, have now been restored. The victors and the vanquished meet at Oldtown to discuss terms.
The setting is early nineteenth century, and attitudes are Georgian. Those present are mostly royalty, or high nobility, and marital fidelity is expected of none. These are decidedly not, the gentry and bourgeoisie of Jane Austen, who must adhere to a different moral code, but whose values, in a couple of generations, will become dominant.
Gregory King, who invented statistics, drew the excellent distinction between The Great, and those who are merely The Rich. The Great can openly profess atheism, practice adultery, and even (discreetly), be gay. For the Rich to so would mean social and economic ruin. These characters are definitely The Great.
This iteration of Jon Snow is a better person than that in my previous story.
