Propaganda
The end of GOT suggests all we’ve seen was as written by Sam.
We all know history is written by the winners. Sam was a close friends to Starks who won the throne, the North, and even the leader beyond the wall. They basically control everything. Seems more than coincidental that the story passed down to us portrays the Lannister’s as incestous and evil.
Basically everyone who fought against the Starks is portrayed as extremely flawed. Joffrey a psychopath. Stannis was stubborn, worshipped a witch, and burned his owned daughter. Renly vain and aloof. The Boltons. The Freys. Meanwhile the Stark’s only flaw was being too honorable? Heck, Stansa even had a man eaten alive by dogs, and they even whitewashed that as justified.
I’m starting to think we weren’t given the true story.
