Just a question that popped into my head. I realize it would be politically impossible, but wonder if it would technically be legal.

Northern Sword reacted to a post in a topic: The Brackens are probably right about the origin of the feud with the Blackwoods.

Evidence is simple, the Brackens are native to the Riverlands, the Blackwoods are from the North. More likely than not we have a situation where the Brackens offered land to the Blackwoods after they were driven from the north in the same way as the Stark/Manderly deal, and then at a future point the Blackwoods rebelled.

What if a Lannister-Stark Alliance was formed in 112 AC?

Laenor being Laenor Velaryon, who was the candidate Viserys one beat for the throne in the Council of 101 AC. And in this scenario, I was trying to gage opinion on what would happen if the Starks and Lannisters made common cause before the Dance, sorry if I wasn’t clear, I was a bit high when I wrote it. -

The Starks support of Laenor was born of spite for the creation of the new gift. We never see women inheriting over men like you might see in Dorne. -
This thought struck me the other day while watching House of the Dragon. It seems like just a natural alliance to me. They have the same general attitude toward female rule, share a historical enmity towards the Ironborn, to my Knowledge have never engaged in direct warfare with each other prior to the Dance, and hold a major grudge against House Targaryen, Rhaenyra’s rejection of marriage to either Lord Jason or Ser Tyland in the Lannister case, the taking of the New Gift and dealing with the consequences of it in the Stark case. There is also the fact that each can offer something the other wants and/or needs. Land in exchange for investment. Does this make sense to anyone else, or am I crazy?
