4_ scrivi titolo e autore

Jaehaerys had concluded that the violent opposition that had greeted his brother Aegon's marriage had several causes. Thei uncle Maegor's thaking a second wife in 39 AC, in defiance of both the High Septon and his own brother, King Aenys, had shattered the delicate understanding between the Iron Throne and the Starry Sept, so the marriage of Aegon and Rhaena had been seen as a further outrage. 
The denunciation thus provoked had lit a fire across the land, and the Swords and Stars had taken up the torches, along with a score of pious lords who feared the gods more than their king. Prince Aegon and Princess Rhaena had been little known amongst the smallfolk, and they had begun their progress without dragons (in large part because Aegon was not yet a dragonrider), which left them vulnerable to the mobs that sprung up to attack them in the riverlands.
None of these conditions applied to Jaehaerys and Alysanne. There would be no denunciation from the Starry Sept; whilst some amongst the Most Devouted still bristled at the Targaryen tradition fo sibling marriage, the present High Septon, Septon Moon's "High Lickspittle", was complaisant and cautious, not inclined to wake the sleeping dragons.
