Willam Stark

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.

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.

We are talking about Ned, not the readers. Ned doesn't know that. Exactly. The appearance of Cersei's children is a weak clue and could be turned against him.

Title. Let's be honest, the way Ned has come to the conclusion that Jaime is the father of Cersei's children is totally unrealistic. Any ideas?

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.

GRRM confirmed that Aegon looked more like a Targaryen in an SSM.

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.

Openly declare for King Joffrey. It was the best decision for him.

Stannis for sure.

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).

The fact that they might possibly be first cousins doesn’t prevent wars, you know.

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.

Nope. She was supposed to become a traitor back then.

Well, we won't see the end of the saga then.

Stevron had the best idea.

House Tully and House Blackwood.

Robb didn't know that Roose couldn't be trusted. He showed no signs of disloyalty before the Red Wedding and Robb needed a competent commander to keep Tywin busy while kicking Jaime's ass. Changing commander would have made no difference to the outcome of the battle.

I think so, this is how the Golden Company will take Storm's End.

The Reach has the potential to conquer Westeros, but they would need to improve the logistics and become a centralized state with an army as efficient as the Romans of the first century.

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.

Yes, but he wasn't king by blood but by marriage.

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