People rape and murder peasantry quite often during really heated conflicts. It's just that you're the only one to exaggerate the issue. No reasonable medieval monarch would place his realm at risk geopolitically because some peasants got raped. I mean, even normal looting gets peasants killed and in my humble opinion homicide is slightly worse than rape. So yeah... Selenia's idiosyncratic rambling generally fall on deaf ears.
Selenia was a peasant
herself. Being both common-born and female are perspectives that thread her entire narrative. I can't think of a historical example that is quite similar to her. Except maybe Boudicca comes closest...
As for which is worse, rape or murder, that is a matter of opinion. Selenia would select the former without hesitation.
