I did wonder this!
I agree it seems she didn't want him to be taken away, but his grandfather did. We'd need to know what was going on there...... I just presumed they were really poor and grandpa resented no help from Chivalry in bringing up the child.
But even that seems wrong - surely Chivalry would at least have provided financially for his son??
Maybe the mountain kingdom has some weird custom where his mother couldn't remarry if she had a child from another relationship (clutching at straws) and grandpa wanted her to be able to marry some guy she loved there???? (yep really reaching now)
It seems equally unlikely she wouldn't know where Fitz was given who Chivalry was... ?
Hmmmm I can't recall how widely it was known that Chivalry had a bastard child. Maybe Fitz's mother was worried about 'letting the secret out' by going to 6D in pursuit of Fitz. Would have been a bit hard for her to find him without telling people who she was (it's not like just anyone can rock up and talk to the prince without going through a lot of underlings). Again, seems a bit of a lame reason not to be reunited with your child.
Maybe just one of those silly 'oh he's better off there being well provided for and we should just cut all ties with him, it would be better for him'.
