how much adds <| sep |> I think the person you backed had a lot to do with whether or not you think the king should be able to chosen his heir , no matter what the law or others believe . I believe that . I think . This is indeed , as Billy Shakes would say , the rub . Do you believe the king ' s word is law , over and above the law developed by the Great Council ? I don ' t . I mean , it ' s not surprising I ' m a lawyer in the common law world . My whole professional education and experience has been about the limitation of absolute monarchical power through the rule of law , the sovereignty of Parliament and the development of case law which , before Westminster gained sovereignty through convention and reform , was the only way of limiting the king ' s power . So my entire professional training goes to upholding the Great Council ' s decision , as shitty as it was , over the declaration of Viserys . Which I feel very conflicted about as a feminist . Because why should Daemon , the brother of the king , have a better claim to the Throne than his daughter and only child ? Why shouldn ' t Viserys be able to say Sure , I came to the Iron Throne by a Council that decided male primogeniture was the way to go , but I think it should just primogeniture full stop .
