Death by Cupcakes Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 After Tommen the closest male relative is Lancel Lannister, iirc.The High Septon certainly would not mind crowning one of his faithful Warrior´s Sons. Sure, this relationship can only be rationalized by acknowledging Jaimes parenthood (which is an open secret anyway, Stannis has seen to that), but then the Targaryens did that all the time.Of course no House would accept that, especially not the Tyrells. My bet is that Randyll Tarly, who is still camped outside of Kings Landing, would storm the City and claim the Iron Throne for Mace Tryrell putting Lancel and the High Septon to the sword (or perhaps all three fall victim to a poisoned dagger by a certain dornish Septa/Councilmember).Such infighting would certainly aid Aegon Targaryen who is marching up to King´s Landing all the while....

With that in mind I believe even by westerosi law Myrcella becomes Queen. There is no other "Baratheon" besides Stannis and Shireen. I think if Tommen were to die, and no one else, that the Tyrells would want to marry the cripple who they wanted to marry to Sansa to Myrcella, it would be the only way to maintain some form of legitimacy and have both Lannisters and Tyrells sharing power. I know any male comes before a female, but I don't see how Myrcella isn't next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death by Cupcakes Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 By dornish law, Myrcella would be next, yes, but not by any other law.Still, her SON would have a legitimate claim to the Iron Throne (and the Westerlands as well), so I agree the Tyrells would dearly like to have her wedded with one of their own. Still I can´t see that ever happening with Myrcella in Dorne promised to Trystane; the Martells would be fools to ever let her go ("its too dangerous to send her back to Kings Landing with all the armies around") and even more if they openly declare for Aegon Targaryen.

To clarify how succession works in a "this is how it works" manner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
