Gendry is twice Arya's age, not half. But in reality, backin those "days" women had kids in their teens. Your life expectancy was a lot shorter. I mean, Sansa was engaged before puberty to Joffrey. As far as life expectancy, it is a fantasy world with Maester's, so probably mitigates that sum. Byt Lyanna Stark was said to only be 16 when died in Jon's childbirth. But can a bastard sit on the throne unless legitimatized? Joffrey seemed to think so when he murdered all of Robert's bastards (well, that and he was just mean).
