#like my girlie Caterina Sforza

I think all Sansa antis need a primer on soft power and how women wielded power in the actual Middle Ages and Renaissance.

#Very few women actually led armies and the ones who did almost exclusively did in symbolic capacities #like my girlie Caterina Sforza #Now piling on the benevolent lady symbolism???? that's like being a woman ruler 101 #also NEVER underestimate the power of household management #There's a reason why women would fight over who had the control over the household accounts because that's THE MONEY #theres a reason why we joke so much about book Jon being an accountant #because those boring and soft power aspects are sooooo important #why yes I have read an entire book about Elizabeth of York's expenditures and household accounts how could you have guessed?
