Life as a Peasant in Game of Thrones
Life as a peasant in the Game of Thrones universe is grueling and often bleak, marked by constant labor, little reward, and ongoing vulnerability to the whims of the powerful. From the humble smallfolk in the North to the struggling peasants in the Reach, the conditions are universally harsh, often overshadowed by the conflicts between the noble houses. Peasants work tirelessly on farms or in small villages, enduring taxing labor from dawn to dusk, with very little opportunity to rise above their station.
The feudal system in Westeros ensures that peasants are bound to the land they work, providing crops and goods to the local lords in exchange for protection-or what little there is of it. They bear the brunt of any wars, as armies often ravage villages for food or manpower, leaving the poor to pick up the pieces. Furthermore, peasants are frequently burdened by heavy taxes, and their lives are dictated by the seasons, with the threat of famine always lurking in the background. With limited access to education or resources, the ability to change their fate is slim, making survival the ultimate goal.
In addition, many peasants are forced to work as serfs, with very few legal rights. They are often at the mercy of their lord’s decisions, including the fate of their homes or lives. Whether it’s the oppressive rules of the Lannisters in the Westerlands or the harsh winters in the North, the life of a peasant is one of constant struggle, with little hope for improvement.
Despite this, some peasants find moments of solidarity and even resistance, as seen in revolts like the “Peasant Rebellion” in Westeros’ history, though they rarely succeed against the established power. Their lives, largely ignored by the nobility, are defined by hardship, survival, and a never-ending battle against the forces that keep them down.
Explore more about the hardships of peasant life in Westeros and how it shaped the lives of the smallfolk throughout Game of Thrones.

    If the reach has 70/80.000 men it could summon 15/20.000 knights, whereas the Vale, with its (I think) 30.000 men, surely hasn't more than 8/10.000 knights. At the same time Vale men are much better equipped. I think they have the same power, it's a matter of quality and quantity

    I think that ‘conflict’ was Jon fighting between who he wanted to be and tryna be just like his father, Ned. Jon was naturally more laid back than Ned. Period. Ned would not be ‘pouchin’ around with the wildlings, no matter how much sense it made. It was not ‘The way things go’ 🚶🏿‍♂️

    The dragons were chained the only one that was able to break out was dreamfyre and she killed alot of smallfolk the only reason she died was because of the destruction of the dragonpit, and all of this happened due to the fact when the greens killed meleys they paraded with her head around the city thus making the people believe dragons are not gods…

    • @jojo5497
      @jojo5497 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I disagree. Its heavily hinted that knights of the vale would rather talk about how honorous they are, rather than fight an actual fight. The whole reason wildmen are so widespread, its that knigts of the vale dont care to combat them. Id wager the most "experianced" knights of the u kingdoms are stormlanders, veterans of the rebelion, renlys and stannis armies and even before that they saw constant combat against dorne, even before unification.

    If Rhaegar beat Robert and Lyanna had died. The truth of the child would be told to the north. On top of that, this would allow Rhaegar to marry Cersei, which is what she and Tywin had wanted originally. Targaryen/Lannister marriage with a Targaryen/Stark child who they could promise marriage to some other house maybe Dorne or High Garden would be pretty strong and a good reason for the rebellion to end.

    There are theories out there that Dany and Jon are twins, and in Westerossi culture a twin are two people who share the same soul. Perhaps they both fullfill the prophecy. And more to the point, we've not had 1 character so far in the books to have interacted with Jon and Dany, so how are we to know if they look alike. If they are both the children of Lyanna and Rhaegar, then Jon got the Stark look like Arya, and Daenerys got the silver hair and purple eyes. Going even further down this rabbit hole, if fAegon were truly Aegon and not a Blackfyre Mascot, then we actually would have 3x Targaryen siblings to be the 3x heads of the Dragon just as Rhaegar wanted.
