How low can people go? Even the court confirmed that he worked there and got the salary he earned then to determine that his income was above his salary. By the way, it was Haskins and sells that metamorphosed into Delloite.
a court will confirm for a company what the company denies? Evidence or you are a blatant id10t! And even if a company metamorphosed from a predecessor, the records of the predecessor are part of the transfer of ownership, so what part of Delloite's response gave you the idea that there is any other scenario than what they presented given the fact that lying under subpoena opens them to perjury charges?

Oh .okay..sometimes,power is not absolute..
So king jahaerys could have also crowned viserys the heir because he too had autocratic powers right,if the princess rhaenys was male,do you believe that jahaerys would have put it to vote?maybe there's something I'm missing,but we are given the notion that era was a fully patriarchal society,even when Aegon was born,rhaenera was so insecure about her status as heir.
Remember when even Princess rhaenys told rhaenera that men would burn the kingdom before letting a woman ascend the iron throne,that was her being very realistic and practical.
All this comes down to viserys being naive,something that had not been done before in westeros,why would he think that things would change and people would just accept it,oh wait..you said because he's king and his word is final abi smiley.
I believe I have adressed some of this earlier, in westeros, the power of the king is absolute to the point that his word is law, any noble who thinks otherwise must have the means in clout, gold and arms to back up their defiance or rebellion, Jaeherys also had same autocratic powers but wanted a male successor to his throne in Viserys as against the proper line of descent represented by Rhaenys, he couldn't bring himself to disinherit Rhaenys by his own authority hence he handed over that task to the lords of the realm who were all almost entirely male knowing they will choose Viserys, he did that to absolve himself of guilt towards Rhaenys but mind you, the authority to choose his successor the lords of the realm exercised was granted by him. So Viserys deciding rhaenyra was good enough to succeed him was exclusively his choice to make and if these lords of the realm had any problem with it they should have been bold enough to challenge his decision when he was alive, they didn't because they knew that authority didn't rest with them.
When rhaenyra was insecure after the birth of aegon, her insecurity was exclusively with her father with whom the decision of her status rested and when he reaffirmed her, her insecurity vanished. And the comment of princess Rhaenys to rhaenyra was from her own personal experience, if it had been allowed to go to war houses baratheon and velaryon both led by men would have fought for her and others would have too depending on how good her politics was, so it was not only about patriarchy, it was also about politics and political affiliation, houses stark, arryn and velaryon in the camp of the blacks currently are also led by men as are the late lords beesbury and the hanged lord whose name I have forgotten

Pardon me,I have not read the books,but even from the days of old valyria,has there been any instance where a female child was named heir? I get that he did so when he had no sons,but like Otto said,the moment Aegon was born,things changed,whether it was honourable or not,it is what is.
I still maintain that viserys wasn't a "wise king".cos he knew the kind of character hightower was,did he just think that they would let rhaenera rule? When he has legitimate sons? He was just being naive
valyria was a freehold, sort of like the Roman republic, it had no kings and rulers so the concept of inheritance of a title was less significant, what was important was showing that any individual member of any great house who wanted their status as a voting member of the peerage or their version of the senate should be of pure valyrian stock, a proven dragon rider and have the requisite amount of wealth and real estate.
Being king, Viserys had autocratic powers, so when he chose rhaenyra as heir, he was exercising his powers, when he had a son and still kept rhaenyra as heir being sound of mind and body at the time, that decision was engraved in stone, the decision was his to make, not that of Otto or any other person, when confronted with situations that will cast aspersions on the person of his chosen successor Viserys reinforced his decision by protecting the honour of his anointed successor from attack even as far as sacking Otto hightower! It doesn't need any further confirmation than that, that particular succession was not left to tradition and precedence once the king named a successor! That is all that matters

MrColdsweat:
Rhaenyra is truly her father's daughter. Lacks will and bravery.
she was a true lady raised for leadership under the tutelage of a lord who was then currently a leader, that means, true leaders look at facts and numbers before they act, not by acting emotionally in anger even when they weren't prepared, she wanted the support of house velaryon, the Starks, arryns, tullys and baratheons before acting, contrast her coolheadedness with aemond who killed lucerys and arrax so satisfy his quest for revenge without thinking of the future consequences of his actions, everything that follows will be aemonds fault. Real world comparison is a war between nuclear powers, you can't as a nuclear power nuke another nuclear power or the ally of one because they made you angry, if you do the reprisals will be swift and deadly, above all, a leader of a powerful nation is expected to display caution and restraint

From the coronation, it clearly showed that the people were happy with Aegon the wankerer as King.

It was only the lords that weren't happy with the choice.

The people would have rejected Reheanyra.

It's obvious that episode 10 will Mark the beginning of the "Dance of the Dragons".
This will be exactly when Rhaenyra finally figures out about her father's death and her brother's coronation...
But somehow I feel as if everything was Viserys Targaryen's fault.
He allowed his emotions cloud his judgement (something a person in power should never do).
He knew fully well that Rheanyra's claim to the throne will be contested for 3 obvious reasons...
1. She was a woman.
2. She had brother's who were true born.
3. The paternity of her 3 first kids (who were her heirs) was questionable.

What Viserys should have done is supposed to be the same thing King Jaeherys did by making the people choose between Rhaenyra and Aegon who they wanted.
This would have saved him any feeling of guilt and favoritism.
He obviously wasn't as wise as his grandfather King Jaeherys , who is still remembered as one of the greatest Targaryen Kings.
Jaeherys was wise but not with that decision, that decision gave rise to the belief that the lords of the realm should have a say in which targaryean should become king or queen, that is the foundation for the meddlesome interference by Otto hightower and houses hightower and lannister, he should have simply declared Viserys his heir and have the lords swear their fealty to him like Viserys did for rhaenyra

I love your perspective and you have helped throw more light on why he didn't change Rhaenyra as heir... Viserys was a honourable man but what was a fact in westeros was that a woman sitting on the iron throne will face a lot of challenges unlike a man... This is what Jaeherys knew that's why he didn't give Rhaenys the throne and manipulated it to be given to Viserys instead without really doing it himself.( just like you said).
When you're in a position of power you gotta learn to make hard decisions no matter what or who is involved.
If Viserys had called a council and made the people to choose who they want (which I'm sure , they would choose Aegon) ... Then the "Dance of the Dragons" would have never happened.
at that point in time dorne was the number one enemy of the iron throne and at different points in time dorne was led even in war time by a woman, in fact the death of one of Aegon the first's sister wives and her dragon in sunspear was during the leadership of of a female Martell, so tell me, what does that say about the challenges a so-called woman leader is expected to face in that world?

Yes, but any thing that can be able to cure some people's stupidity, especially those throwing unwarranted attacks ( verbally) on the great Yoruba race is not out of line, do not let me assume that you are a liberal Yoruba because they are even more dangerous than the outside enemies with their sympathetic approach to issues that can wreck our great tribe.
nobody is attacking the Yoruba race you m0ron! undecided they are attacking touts which can be of any tribe same as traders in alaba are of any tribe, the mindset that condemning the touts is a condemnation against your tribe only goes to show that you are either a tout for real or a tout at heart because no one should defend illegality irrespective of tribe, it is like me a Niger deltan defending oil bunkerers or Italian Americans making excuses for cossanostra Mafia bosses!

I still opine that viceroys wasn't a wise king,the fact that he purposely kept a blind eye and was obviously biased towards rhanerya,did he think he would love forever to keep covering for her? Remember that scene where he queried Aegon about who told him about rhaenera bastards,his reply was "look at them,everyone knows".he knew. Did he think that not acknowledging the problem would make it disappear? Why did he think the jaeharys council choose him over princess rhaenys? It was because he was male,he now has full targaryen sons and you'd expect the realm to accept his daughters? One full worth controversy?
understand this, he is the king, kings by nature are autocratic, when he makes a decree and says white is black, white automatically becomes black in the eyes of the realm not because everybody is blind, it is because nobody is powerful enough or foolish enough to go against the king a live to keep their head, him knowing the kids are strongs and declaring them velaryons is him exercising his autocratic powers and daring anybody to contradict him, the only people who ever dared contradict him were his family because they knew he won't kill them, the first non-targayrean to put the accusations to voice lost his head courtesy daemon so I disagree, he was not biased to rhaenyra, he was biased to house targaryean in general including his cousin Rhaenys. The difference in this succession is that his grandfather Jaeherys' could have simply allowed the elder line to succeed him through Rhaenys, he wanted a male to succeed him hence he threw the decision to the lords of the realm, almost all of them male and the decision was a forgone conclusion! He only wanted to absolve himself of guilt and responsibility in the cheating of Rhaenys. Viserys by contrast declared his daughter rhaenyra heir and made the lords of the realm swear fealty to her and take oaths to support and defend her succession as his then only child, yet you expect him to show fickle indecisiveness and change his mind because a prince was later born? You can't make all the entire lords of the realm take an oath and be the first to discard the oath and still expect same fealty and reverence from them for your house. And yet you people think Viserys was a weak and foolish king. He might be very merciful but even when connected to Otto by marriage he was able to see and call Otto's service for what it was, self serving and he recognised lord strong as the real small council member who always put the realm first

In GOT isn't this what caused stannis and his gay brother to lay claim the throne after rumors the fatman's kids weren't his
claim to ascension by blood derives from the previous monarch! Rhaenyras children are hers by blood whereas Robert's children are not his by blood so where does your confusion come from? In this terms, only the targaryean and baratheon blood counts, velaryon, strong and lannister blood doesn't count, understood?
