JonBranRickon Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Wiki seems to indicate that there were other Baratheons lords who married Lannisters so it may by default go to some Lannister and that would suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Arryn Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 In my country, Spain, that happened with the Habsburgs. They ran out of heirs.True enough, though the Habsburgs were exceptional in many ways, and the end didn't exactly sneak up on people. Additionally, by Westeros custom Maria's Lorraine sons would have just adopted the name Habsburg. (Edit, which they kind of did.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trigger Warning Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 In my country, Spain, that happened with the Habsburgs. They ran out of heirs.Branches of the House of Habsburg still existed though and Charles VI made a claim with the Grand Alliance behind him. House Baratheon is older than the dynasty of the Spanish Habsburgs, it would be weird for them to not have branches that can make a claim if they didn't have any immediate heirs within that branch.

Ingelheim Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 True enough, though the Habsburgs were exceptional in many ways, and the end didn't exactly sneak up on people. Additionally, by Westeros custom Maria's Lorraine sons would have just adopted the name Habsburg. (Edit, which they kind of did.) Actually, they did. Kind of. But the main problem is there...the Baratheon House is really at an end, right now. If Stannis does not survive the series (likely) and Shireen dies, House Baratheon is extinct. Unless the twincest is not revealed, and both Tommen and Myrcella carry out the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
