On one hand it makes sense that medieval european social relations imply, well, medieval european social relations and it makes sense to use your novel (or your show) to examine those.

On the other I can relate to many people wanting to see women in medieval fantasy to be represented in some other way than constant misery porn.

      Of course, there is also no reason not to create a fantasy world that does not correspond to the realities of materialist history, it is a fictitious setting after all. It all depends on the writers/creators.

      What you are describing is how Hollywood and Disney has presented medieval history up until recently, and it was basically just monarchist propaganda because it glorifies feudalism and hides all the bad parts
