Does it seem strange to you that the Crownlands can only muster about 15,000 men in the best of times? It makes sense in terms of Aegon I – Aegon III, but you’d think after the death of the last dragon (the Targaryan’s “Ultima Ratio Regum”) there’d be a serious move to bolster the amount of soldiers the crown can raise directly without having to rely on the Lord Paramounts.
