They still had the printing press along with a much wider spread of literacy by then Steven, which Westeros does not as far as I’ve been able to tell, or the example of a Magna Carta, I’m pretty sure you’ve said Westeros has fluctuated from being an example of the 10th to the 14th century before Steven, a few advanced technology examples does not support an immediate societal shift. And I’m talking purely in terms of economic development/industry, not trying to offend your ancestor Steven.

Printing press came out 59 years after the Great Revolt of 1381 or the Jacquerie or any of the popular revolts of the late medieval period. The printing press is not necessary for people to develop ideology or to fight for justice. 

And I have not said that Westeros has fluctuated between the two. Some of its political organization is more reminiscent of the earlier period, but it’s quite clearly late medieval in terms of economic development, and the Renaissance is going on just across the Narrow Sea.
