Archmaester Gyldayn questions whether Sara ever existed and dismisses the tale of marriage as Mushroom’s “fevered imaginings”, stating that what is known about Jacaerys’s character makes it unlikely he would break his betrothal of eleven years to Lady Baela Targaryen to protect the virtue of the northern bastard girl. Although Gyldayn concedes that it is possible Jacaerys had bedded Sara, if she indeed existed, he considers the talk of marriage to be “preposterous”. (George R. R. Martin, Fire and Blood)

The vast majority of people who have ever lived [in the Middle Ages] were illiterate and disenfranchised: they left no autographical sign of their existence and were simply not powerful or privileged enough to have their perspective represented in the documentary sources that survive. This is especially true of women. (Suzannah Lipscomb, “Are feminist historians rewriting the past?”)
