Notes:

I've just been deleting a lot of random secrets that are recycling ancient FS memes ("can't unsee these unrelated pictures, would hit random thing, I wish this scene had ended in 'hot non-con sex'") and one person that makes a different secret about a certain actor every week trying to be as wacky as possible.

Admittedly I don't know the purpose of the royal court and would like an explanation.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

a royal court is essentially a way to keep nobles from starting rebellions by giving them honor and access to power. this is true of men and women. you can tell the political leanings of the monarch and the monarch's children by who they have closest to them at court. from a historical perspective, you can tell how monarchs made decisions by who they rose to honor and who they demoted, before the decisions were made. many alliances happen amongst people in the royal court. because women rarely were able to wield power openly, being in court gave them a manner of doing so, even if it was on behalf of their family. furthermore, you can tell by the marriages happening, which were often arranged by courting at court, what was happening

so in a conflict of succession, you should have other people, especially women, interacting with alicent and rhaenyra to demonstrate how the noble world outside alicent and rhaenyra view things. you should know who married who and how this would help or hurt their cause. in both the book and the show "rumors" are flying, but the red keep might as well be empty lol.
