Given how you are Team Smallfolk 4 Life, how come you are Pro-Blackfyre in your essays. The blackfyres are representative of the Warrior Caste of Westeros and to a man are aristocratic snobs who opposed reform initiatives put forth by Daeron and resented the presence of philanthropic Dornishmen on the court?

It’s a fair cop, guv; I find the Blackfyres interesting in much the same reason that I find the Brackens interesting – they’re the unloved losers of historical conflicts and I’m curious as to what motivated them.

But I do want to push back on something: Daeron and Co. were not on Team Smallfolk. 

Were there women in Daeron’s court? Yes, noblewomen. Were there Dornishmen? Yes, highborn Dornishmen. Did any of them care or understand about the smallfolk in the slightest regard? Ask Tansell Too-Tall.

To the extent that Daeron was a reformer, he was an elite reformer focused on questions of efficiency and honesty in administration, and the project of peacefully unifying Dorne under Targaryen rule. He was not Aegon V.
