The hairy bear Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 technically, when Ned changed the wording of Robert's will, isn't Gendry legit? Good thought. But I've checked and actually Ned changed only wrote "my rightful heir" instead of "Joffrey". Gendry wouldn't be a rightful heir because of his bastardy.

Donaldys I Trumpagar Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 The law never mattered actually, it's always been a matter of military power and alliances. "Rightful claim" doesn't mean anything. Yep. The Targaryens themselves were simply usurpers and conquerors. (Well, not "simply." They had dragons.)

robasp2 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Like I said.. No one has the "rightful claim" as of now.Just because the current king's family has no heir doesn't mean the old king's family has the "rightful" claim.Again, as someone mentioned.. Might is all that matters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyser1 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Interesting: What of the young Tarly? Sure no right by succession but: 1). Randyll's brother in law is Stannis, claimant to the Iron Throne. 2). Randyll's wife (and thus in the blood of the child) of House Florent (who have a better claim to the Kingdom of the Reach than the Tyrells). Not KoIT royalty but royalty?3). An army en route to KL while the capital is in chaos. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
