The Tywin Lannister actor is a very, very poor choice for Emhyr. First of all he was not that much older from Pavetta - guessing around 20y old meaning he is like 35 ish in the main saga and second of all he had thick BLACK hair.

My pick for Emhyr would be Christian Bale without hesitation.

Pavetta was Calanthes daughter and Calanthe, daughter of Adalia, daughter of Muriel the Fair - who was essentially a slut. So a 1) very hot blood running in their veins, 2) Aen hen Ichaer has something to do with it too - the "Old blood gene" (I don't know the english names) and lastly 3) Calanthe wanted to reign supreme in Cintra but as a women it was not allowed. Time was running out for her because the court was expeccting her to wed Pavetta with someone strong who would protect Cintra from Nilfgaard. She arranged a morganatic marriage(of unequal social standing, wchich prevents the passage of the titles and privileges to the married one and any children born of that marriage)with a "drifter" from south so she could marry someone and try to give birth to a son who would inherit rights to rule Cintra with her as a Queen mother. That plan did not work out as she was unable to carry another child. Marriage in that age was nothing unusual (15y old was sometimes too late) and Pavetta was pregnant even before the marriage..
