Is King Boranel a guy who is popular with the ladies, does he womanize, ect as far as the whole not having a heir, maybe he does but it’s a bastard OR is he not like that at all? Boranel has many children; according to Five Nations, he "has outlived three wives and has eleven fiercely
independent children (six sons and five daughters)." It's simply that none of them are currently seen as living up to his legacy.
