Der_Erste_seines_Namens Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 (edited) I have not found anything about this in the internet, but I think, based on their personalities, they would be a very good couple. House Stark and House Tully would also be connected for another generation. I know, they are related, but Starks married relatives in the past and its not uncommon in Westeros. I would like to hear your thoughts about these two readheads and why no one thought about a marriage between Sansa and Edmure.

Terrorthatflapsinthenight9 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 (edited) An uncle/niece marriage ? Yuck !!! No offense but incest totally disgusts me. The Starks and Tullys would have never done this, they aren't like the Targaryens.

Craving Peaches Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I am not sure how an uncle-niece marriage would be treated. Cousin marriages seem fine but...this seems like the Faith won't like it. I don't think Catelyn would like it either. Or Sansa. Or anyone involved in the matter. Also, House Stark and Tully are already connected, so they might as well 'save' Sansa to build an alliance with another House. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serena Stark married also her half-uncle Edric Stark. Starks also did not believe in the southern faith. I had thought, that Catelyn could like it, when Sansa married a man, who can be surely trusted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Starks and Tullys would have never done this, they aren't like the Targaryens. As much as I'm disgusted by incest, the alley of Targaryens, and dislike Andals and their false ways of the seven, Starks have a precedent for Uncle/niece marriage in the form of Sansa and Jonnel and first men have a precedent of sibling marriage in some Durrandon King's bastard son usurping the throne of his simpleminded brother, the next king, in all but name and marrying the simpleminded king's sister. It seems Andals have done at least one thing good, limiting the marriage to cousins at closest. Edited January 15 by Corvo the Crow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neds parents were first cousins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is foreshadowing for Jon-Sansa marriage since that Jonnel is one eyed(Jon has a scar over his eye) and Sansa is the heir of a Rickon(ours is sister, the older one is daughter).

That's true, but they were only half-uncles and presumably all followed the Old Gods, whereas Catelyn follows the Seven. I agree Catelyn would want Sansa to have a trustworthy husband, I just don't think she'd want her brother to marry her daughter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Edmure has a secret thing for Cat. Edited January 15 by Corvo the Crow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's a step more incestuous than a cousin marriage though. Are there any examples of followers of the Seven participating in an Uncle-Niece marriage in the series?

Arianne had an crush on Oberyn and would find it better to marry him, than to marry Walder Frey, I think. Targaryens believe also in the faith of the Seven.
