A quick glance at the family trees included in the book–Lannister and Stark–shows that the only marriages with other Great Houses in the past several generations occurred during the generation of Robert’s Rebellion. The history of the Seven Kingdoms after the Targaryen conquest didn’t have regular marriage alliances between the Great Houses. But as I read A World of Ice and Fire, it becomes clear that it’s not normal. What’s more, this seems normal, as the previous generation had done it as well: Rhaegar Targaryen married Elia Martell, Baratheon married Lannister, and Tully married both Stark and Arryn, all of which solidified alliances.
