Mrstrategy Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 What if Tywin men specifically the Mountain and Lorch was unable to breach the red keep during the sack of Kings Landing (pod: Aerys in his madness reinforce the red keep with loyal men and manage to seal off the red keep before twyn men manage to reach red keep) ,what happens to Tywin and rebels since they can't capture red keep assuming Jaime prevent wildfire plot and kill Aerys making Elia regent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annalee Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Aerys, Elia, and the Targaryen children were dead as soon as they opened the gates. The Red Keep cannot stand on its own. Holding out would not change history because the heir to throne was already on Dragonstone. Aerys sent his heir to safety. Prince Viserys is not only the heir but now the Prince of Dragonstone. The value of Elia and her children went down as soon as the war turned the tide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion of the West Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 No one will accept Elia as regent. The rebels had already crowned Robert and Tywin had picked his side. While the Tyrells or Aerys' lickspittles will accept a Dornish regent. What would most likely happen is that a group of loyalists would overwhelm Jamie and kill him for killing Aerys. And then the Red Siege would be put under siege and either stormed or starved into submission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Ice-Eyes Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Not much, once Ned’s Vanguard arrived and the rest of the royal army the story would continue as GRRM meant for it to continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadscythe95 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 The only thing that would change is that Tywin would not have the time to murder Elia and her children before Ned Stark arrived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
