Alyn of Hull finally calls out Corlys Velaryon for his blatant hypocrisy regarding his "bastard" sons. For decades, Corlys had the power to legitimize Alyn and Addam, yet he waited until the most tumultuous point in Rhaenyra’s reign to ask her to do it.
In this video, we discuss why this confrontation was so essential for Alyn’s character progression and how it highlights the tragic absence of Rhaenys, who likely would have called Corlys out on his "bullshit" years ago. Corlys is a master of the game, but Alyn proves you can’t bullshit a bullshitter.
