Gaius Martell Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Is the head of (what's left of) the family now? He's next in the line of succession with Jaime in the Kingsguard and Tyrion in exile. Will his religious fanaticism lead to some massive donation from the Rock to the Faith? Or does his being in the Warrior's Sons exclude him from the line? He's vastly different from the rest of the Lannisters save Jaime and Tyrion, so it'd be interesting to see the House undergo some massive redemption via the Faith of the Seven.

Artos Stark Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I thought he renounced all his names. I believe the next in line would be Martyn (I can't remember which twin is still alive). Realistically it is Tyrion and should have been that way to start with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaius Martell Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 Tywin made sure to tell Tyrion that he'd never be lord of Casterly Rock. I'm not sure if a lord's wishes on his successor override the actual rules of succession, but I think Tyrion unwelcomeness in Westeros now precludes any chance of him being Lord of the Rock, though I'd LOVE to see a happy ending for the guy.

Under conventional rules Cersei would inherit after both her brothers were disqualified, then her children would inherit. If Cersei's line is extinguished, then the inheritence goes to Tywin's next brother, who would have been Kevan, then down Kevan's line until extinguished, then on to the next brother.

Fightbringer Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Umm, No!If The Rock followed Dornish rlule, that my be the case, but I doubt Tywin felt the same way.the way succession works in westeros, much like in the real world means that if a lord had three children two boys and a girl, jaime and tyrion would come first despite cersei being born first, but if both are excluded from the succession, then the lordship passes too the daughter, instead of any male cousins. Besides for aFFc and aDwD she was lady of casterly rock, and if she's found innocent in her trail by combat, then she will remain with that title. Next up in the succession is martyn then tyrek(if they can find him) lancel cant inherit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrinceHenryris Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Assuming that Jaime and Tyrion are disqualified, Kevan is Tywin's heir. After Kevan, it's his eldest surviving son - Lancel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After Kevan, it's his eldest surviving son - Lancel.Um, no.Do me a favor and flip open your copy of AFfC to the Appendix and go to the section on the Lannisters, you'll read this:—CERSEI, twin to Jaime, now Lady of Casterly Rock.And if that doesn't do the trick, go ahead and read the book over again since you clearly missed a good two dozen passages or so.

Thats how the Targ kings worked it out post the Dance of Dragons, but that doesnt apply to the great houses of Westeros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evamitchelle Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 As others have said before you have to go through an entire branch before switching to the next.So all of Tywin's children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren etc. are automatically before any of his siblings and their children.So as of now the succession would go something like this :Cersei is the current Lady of Casterly Rock as the last eligible child of Tywin Lannister.1. Tommen is the heir because he's her only surviving son.2. Myrcella, who comes after Tommen despite being older because she's a girl3. Lancel, Kevan's oldest son4. Martyn, Kevan's second son5. Janei, Kevan's daughter6. Tyrek (if he's still alive), as Tygett's son7. Genna Frey, as Lord Tytos' daughter8. Tywin Frey, Genna's eldest grandchild by her first son9. Willem Frey, Genna's grandchild by her first son10. Lyonel Frey, Genna's second son11. Red Walder Frey, Genna's fourth sonAnd if all of those die it probably goes to the Lannister cousins : Daven and his sisters, Damion and his children etc.ETA : Yes you're right. I can't believe I skipped right over Genna ! Added in the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Last Direwolf Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Assuming that Jaime and Tyrion are disqualified, Kevan is Tywin's heir. After Kevan, it's his eldest surviving son - Lancel.No. Cersei was Tywin's heir. Daughters come before brothers in every line of succession except the Targaryens.
