Follow up question on Robert keeping Aegon alive and prisoner (assuming he was captured during the sack of KL) – was there historical precedent for this? When you say Aegon is a prisoner, are we talking an “honored guest” (ala Catelyn at Riverrun after she releases Jaime), or something more like Theon at Dreadfort?

There is, it’s just not a precedent that tends to end well – see Henry III and Simon de Montfort, Edward II and his wife as regent for his son, Richard II and Henry Bolingbrook, Henry VI and everyone, Edward IV and the Kingmaker, the Princes in the Tower and Richard III, and so on and so forth.
