And Therefore Chose To Keep Her Name And Title - Tumblr Posts

i am deeply in love with the simplicity of house mormont. because we know how deeply misogynistic westeros is and their believed importance of the patriarchy anywhere north of dorne, but than, up there in the bay of ice, you have this fairly important small house that is run and ruled by women, and they’re warrior women on top of that. and nobody bats an eye about it.

what westerosi culture is also fascinated with being  “highborn” or “trueborn”, purity and marriage, frowning down at bastards with disgust. And right next to that you have the she-bear herself maege mormont; unmarried with 5 daughters that also carry the mormont name -- and the notion of them not being true mormonts is not even mentioned
