Bloody Ben Blackwood Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 If Jon Arryn never died or Ned was called to King's landing but didn't end up losing his head what do you think would have been good match for the Stark children?You can answer this in two ways, with or without hindsight, i.e. with or without knowing that Joffrey was crazy, Loras swung the other way, Robert Arryn is sick and likely to die soon.My guess : Robb and *no clue*, somebody from the major houses who would want to come and stay in the northSansa and Loras Bran and Lyanna Mormont (because that kid got spunk)Arya would not want to marry at allRickon has no girl identified near his age Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtree Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Robb + Wylla, typically they married their bannerman and Manderly is a powerful houseSansa would be Joff's queenNo idea about AryaBran, maybe with MyrcellaRickon, 3rd son, not that important Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moriath Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Robb-Margaery :Would secure an alliance with the /Tyrells and extend Stark influence. Tyrells, in turn, would enjoyed an increased influence in the North and a marriage to one of the 'Old' Noble Houses. Sansa-Loras/his brother: Kind of an equivalent exchange thing. Plus, it would strengthen the alliance.Arya/Robin. She's gutsy enough for both of them Also, this would strengthen the Stark-Arryn AllianceJon, if legtimized by the King, should marry into one of Northern families. Karstark, perhaps? If not, the night's watch and Ygritte suit him just fine, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePrunesThatWasPromised Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Robb- Roslin FreySansa- Walder FreyBran- Amerei FreyArya- Ryman FreyRickon- take the black i think this series of matches would keep Grey Wind's head off Robb's shoulders. Sansa's children would rule the Twins and Rickon would be a great ranger unlike his half brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody Ben Blackwood Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 I always imagined if Jon was legitimized it would be the beginning of a new branch.Similar to Blackfyres or Greystarks. If he wants to have a new branch then he needs a new seat and no noble house would want to wed a legitimized bastard who is not even an heir to their heir. Maybe Ned's name and good deeds of Jon might change people's outlook but still I think it'll be a difficult thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloody Ben Blackwood Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 Robb - Margery Sansa - TommenBran - MeeraArya - WilasRickon - Lyanna MormontThis is too much intermarrying into the other kingdoms, doesn't seem like the norm in Westeros. Also Margery who is too fond of keeping a lively court and picking autumn flowers will probably never want to stay in the north her whole life.

kimim Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Arya: Asha! They'd be a killer couple, literally.Jon: Ygritte was great for him, so maybe another wildling woman.Sansa: Willas Tyrell. Sane human who can give her a rose garden and stability and children and minstrels.Bran: idk. The kid can't get it up any longer. It's a shame but I fear his true mate is a tree.Rickon: Again, idk.Robb: Margaery Tyrell. Has a smart granny who might be able to control Robb's urges to idiotic political behavior.

Orphalesion Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Robb: I like the idea of Wylla Manderley I'd say Margaery, but there's just no way the Rose of Highgarden would move to Winterfell. Sansa: Willas Tyrell. I think Catelyn at least always planned to marry Sansa south, otherwise, why would they have her brought up to be a Southron Lady? If Domeric Bolton survives in this theoretical timeline, he might be an interesting candidate as well...Bran: I could see him with Myrcella. Considering Bran had ambitions to become a knight it stands to reason he'd end up South as well for a while (no knights in the North, affter all).Arya: I do think Arya would be happy with some member of House Mormont (she'd fit right in with their ladies) Karstark or Umber. Does any of those houses have a boy of roughly her age (so anything between newborn and 20, by medieval standards).Rickon: I can see him being pressured to join the Night's Watch in order to save Ned the trouble to precure lands for a third son.

Raising him under their roof is one thing, legitimizing and put him in front of 4 of their trueborn children is a stab in the heart. Also, Ned seemed careless when Jon wanted to join Night's Watch, he has no ambition for Jon other than keeping him safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slant Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Yeah Sansa and Wilas. He seems to be a great guy, so what if he is crippled. Think Sansa might actually like him, and the Tyrells were kind to her even if it was only for their own benefit. Arya and Jon if original outline, and MS&T parallels hold up If not Arya and Tyrion, again from original outline If not Arya and Jon then Bran and Myrcella. Or else Bran and Meera. Guess it is going to be Bran and Weirwood tree though. Rickon and Lyanna Mormont Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pod The Rod Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Robb and Margaery- Catelyn Tully was happy enough in Winterfell, Margaery probably would have been too if Robb was a good and loving husband, and everything we know about the guy says he would have been. Plus, this match forms an unstoppable power bloc running uninterrupted from the Wall to the Arbor, with discount grain for the North in winter. Simply the Perfect Pair.Sansa and Joffrey- this would have been an amazing match for Sansa if Joffrey wasn't who he was. And there was no way to know that ahead of time. Arya- let her choose. Preferably a bannerman's son, if she doesn't want one then perhaps Trystane Martell?Bran and Eddara Tallhart if he hasn't been crippled, to the Citadel if he has been- A good bannerman match that's relatively close in age. People keep suggesting spouses for the Stark children that are crazily different in ages. 16 year old Meera and 7 year old Bran? 27 year old Willas and 11 year old Sansa or 9 year old Arya? 30 year old Dacey Mormont and 16 year old Robb? Really?Rickon to the Wall if Bran hasn't been crippled, if he has perhaps the youngest Mormont girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
