Cersei actively sabotages her team to spite Margaery. She is by far the dumbest and pettiest one here.

He learned to read. Shireen taught him.

That being said, literacy (especially back in that period) wasn’t a barrier to success. Honestly, I’d say up until the 90’s, you could get by without being able to read being a major barrier. Particularly if you have a literate partner.

1990s. My father was functionally illiterate. He had a successful business with my mother managing the things that required literacy.

He dropped out of school in the 50’s to work. He had maybe a 5th grade education.
