I was momentarily freaking out because "WHO'S MARRYING SUMMER ISLANDERS? WUT?"

Joncar sent a bunch of his kids to Westeros to get jobs/marry, basically the reverse of what ?Oscar did a hundred years ago. Protect the family line.

There are some things money literally cannot buy. A closer relationship with your lord, a wealthy spouse for a superfluous son, someone not likely to give a toss about your weird religion, and maybe we get a line on some nice bows from the Summer side of the family... :whistle:

I suppose, but if you're rich and powerful those things can come to you anyway...the Tullys need the Blackwoods more than the Blackwoods need the Tullys, etc. But as you say, there are plenty of factors that can sweeten deals.

Oh.

Meh. On the scale of "Things Joncar has done that irritate me" this barely even registers.
