In your opinion, did the 1st Great Council’s ruling count as a legal precedent that males would get preferment over female heirs to the Iron Throne, or was it a ruling restricted to the specific context in which the council was called? Laenor’s young age & that fact that he rode a young dragon as compared to the adult Viserys who rode Balerion counted against him. Doesn’t this indicate that the Council ruled on the very specific case put in front of them. & not on the general question ?

According to WOIAF:

“In the eyes of many, the Great Council of 101 AC thereby established an iron precedent on matters of succession: regardless of seniority, the Iron Throne of Westeros could not pass to a woman, nor through a woman to her male descendents.”
