Just finished the politics of the Stormlands (loving the series and can’t wait for Dorne) and I share your disappointment in the lack of detail in the early histories. Do you think there’s a Watsonian explanation? Maybe an attempt to appease the current royals with the most inoffensive history or the Baratheons trying to shift focus from the previous kings

Glad you liked it! I’m working on Dorne right now, actually.

I mean, they gave a Watsonian explanation, but it was that the history of the Stormlands is confusing, boring, and fragmentary. Which isn’t very compelling, tbh. 

If it was appeasing Robert, you’d think that it would be the longest history, full of heroic details of his ancestors’ victories…
