Why hasn't Tywin disinherited Tyrion before the first book?
Willam Stark replied to Angel Eyes's topic in General (ASoIaF)
Nobles can change their name, as King Joffrey Lydden did, when he took the Lannister name after his coronation. I imagine male heirs through female lines do the same once they inherit. -

Willam Stark replied to Angel Eyes's topic in General (ASoIaF)
In most cases, male-preference cognatic primogeniture is applied in Westeros. Only the Stark and Targaryen follow the agnatic-cognatic model. After Tyrion fled, Cersei became the Lady of Casterly Rock in her own right, which wouldn't be possible if it was agnatic, as there were many male Lannisters alive at the time. -
Father/daughter marriages are not part of Valyrian customs.

Very interesting theory. It helps explain why the names of the First Men are so similar to those of the Andals in the universe. I think we can add the Rhoynar to the group.

Even if Aegon is Elia's son, he's not Rhaegar's
Willam Stark replied to Tradecraft's topic in General (ASoIaF)
GRRM confirmed that Aegon looked more like a Targaryen in an SSM. -
Is Tywin unfairly hated by the fandom?
Willam Stark replied to Bloodmage's topic in General (ASoIaF)
Seriously? We're at that level? The hatred towards him is completely justified. He slaughtered thousands of innocent people just out of ego, so it's totally deserved. -
You are Walder Frey - what would have been your choice?
Willam Stark replied to Protagoras's topic in General (ASoIaF)
Openly declare for King Joffrey. It was the best decision for him. -
Nonbelievers - people who might be atheists
Willam Stark replied to The Commentator's topic in General (ASoIaF)
Stannis for sure. -
Who was the Prince of Dorne, Myriah's father?
Willam Stark replied to Hippocras's topic in General (ASoIaF)
His mother is not the Prince of Dorne, and he didn’t grow up surrounded by Dornishmen at his court. Besides, even growing up together doesn’t prevent wars (e.g., the Dance). -
Who was the Prince of Dorne, Myriah's father?
Willam Stark replied to Hippocras's topic in General (ASoIaF)
The fact that they might possibly be first cousins doesn’t prevent wars, you know. -
Who was the Prince of Dorne, Myriah's father?
Willam Stark replied to Hippocras's topic in General (ASoIaF)
She was not married to just any Lyseni: her husband was Drazenko Rogare, the uncle of Larra Rogare and the great-uncle of the future Daeron II. If Myriah is indeed Aliandra's granddaughter, then that makes her the second cousin of her future husband, and she is blood-related to Lys. -
A brief, bleak update on TWOW
Willam Stark replied to The Bard of Banefort's topic in General (ASoIaF)
Well, we won't see the end of the saga then. -
Who had the best idea at Riverrun ?
Willam Stark replied to Arthur Peres's topic in General (ASoIaF)
Stevron had the best idea. -
Favorite Houses of the Riverlands
Willam Stark replied to KingMaekarWasHere's topic in General (ASoIaF)
House Tully and House Blackwood. -
Collecting What we Know of Developments in the Stormlands
Willam Stark replied to Hippocras's topic in General (ASoIaF)
I think so, this is how the Golden Company will take Storm's End. -
Golden Company, without a doubt.

In our world it's not a rule, but it seems to be the case in-universe. The Baratheon's genealogy and Robert's bastards would be enough to convince most of people, except maybe Tywin.
-
All the known Baratheon/Lannister matches led to black haired children.

It makes sense. Renly should have openly used that against Stannis rather than the right of conquest.
