JaegrM Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I'm including Jon Snow as a Stark when I ask this.It barely crossed my mind that this was even remotely likely, but reading some things on this forum I've seen it mentioned that It's a forgone conclusion, particularly Jon or Sansa,It seems to me that it goes against the entire Stark mentality to rule over the 7 kingdoms.This is also why I don't believe that Sansa is the one prophesied to bring down Cersei.I guess what I'm asking is, am I in the minority on this?And If I am, what makes people think it would happen?

ab aeterno Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Nope, personally I don't think any of them will end up on the Iron Throne, in fact, I'm not sure anyone will. Seems to me that Aegon or Stannis are the two most likely, all things considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Éadaoin Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I am of the opinion that there won't even be an Iron Throne left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Targaryen Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 The only Stark I could see ruling would be Sansa as queen, but I don't find that likely. I think she'll be the Stark in Winterfell, or a Stark, along with Rickon.I can't see Jon on the throne at all. I can only imagine him in the north in some way.

R'hllor's Bastard Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Most arguments for a Stark being King/Queen in the North. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickStormborn Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 There has never been a claimant to the throne without official Targaryen heritage (Joffrey, Tommen and Myrcella don't count because they're "officially" Baratheons and therefore have Targaryen ancestry). The only Stark who could therefore claim the Iron Throne would be Jon Snow, if R+L=J.Sansa is a very unlikely candidate, as she has absolutely no claim to the throne. I think most readers expecting her to be Queen assume she'll be the Queen in the North. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaegrM Posted November 14, 2012 Author Share Posted November 14, 2012 With Jon I find it even more unlikelyI have the beginnings of a rough idea/theory that Jon/The North/Nightwatch/Free folk will become a new Kingdom and Jon may be King/LC of that...

Fire Eater Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I could see Jon on the Iron Throne, if his parentage is revealed and he follows the King Arthur inspiration to its extent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most readers expecting her to be Queen assume she'll be the Queen in the North.I wasn't trying to say that the Starks seem to be suggested as King/Queen of the 7 Kingdoms is more prevalent than one of them being King/Queen of The North, but it seems like it's mentioned much more than I would have thought.

Perhaps Rickon, or Jon (I have seen it suggested that he is legitimized as Lord of WF and never finds out about his parentage.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daemul Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 There will be no Iron Throne, the WW will see to that, or there could be a Triarch like in Volantis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Pepper Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 No, I don't think it likely that a Stark will end up on the Iron Throne if there is an Iron Throne still left at the end of the series. I don't think it likely that the remaining Starks will want to end up on the Iron Throne. Sansa does not want it (nor does she have a claim to it), Jon hasn't even thought about it, Arya definitely not, Bran hasn't thought about it, and Rickon is six so too young to tell what he would want. I rarely even see this idea tossed around and I'll be honest, it's usually those who think the R+L=J theory is only there to serve Jon the Iron Throne. I can see how some might make that connection, but frankly it's not a good conclusion to make. The only other time I've seen people tossing out a Stark in relation to the Iron Throne are 'shipping' threads where they assume Sansa is going to become Queen Consort for Aegon or Harry the Heir or they mistakenly believe she has claims and support in her own right to enough regions of Westeros to create her own kingdom. It's wishful thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's wishful thinking.This.I would be very surprised if there's any sort of throne left at all once the WW threat is vanquished. One person shouldn't have so much power,. I think Volantis' system of Triarch's is something that could be used. Jon, Dany and fAegon ruling together maybe? Possibly yearly elections with other people ruling.

DaeneryStormBorn Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Sansa will marry Aegon, she will become what she always wanted. But she will be more mature and expert in A game of thrones since she is currently learning from Littlefinger. Perfect for the role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daenerys is my queen Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I don't think so mostly because I can't see any of the Starks wanting the throne. And IMO to get the throne you have to want it. All the Starks want is to see someone on the throne who isn't evil like the Lannisters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
