Best Overall King Regardless of Claim


Recommended Posts

Find it slightly funny that so many people have said Rhaegar. We simply don't know enough about him; all we have are second-hand anecdotes, and exaggerated, fawning memories. We never knew him properly, so to say he'd make the best kind EVAR is... well, it's a bit silly.



Same goes for Arthur Dayne. I find the hero-worship of figures about whom we actually don't see very much to be quite odd.

Catelyn would've been a million times better Queen than Cersei and I regret to say Daenerys are. Ned would be a good king as far as the 'figureheadedness' of it goes because he was well liked but he would've taken his job more serious than Rob. With Stannis and Jon Arryn on his small council the realm probably would've prospered for decades

Morality is a sickness....it's a disease that makes people think about always being right, never being wrong...instead of actually being AWAKE.



Morality is not for a king. A king should be Pragmatic. Renly was courtious and pragmatic (he didn't care for morality aka stannis should be king before him), Ned was Moral...and that led to him being naiv, stupid and dead. Stannis is pragmatic as hell, and as varys says, a just man is a dangerous man. Stannis is a critique, and that helps him. A king must understand his subjects, and their feelings. Robb? failed to do that. Stannis is awake about his subjects feelings, he recoginices them but acts!



So id go for Stannis.

Maestor Aemon. If he wasn't so old that is.

He is very wise, not super full of himself, listens more than he speaks, and is a Targ.

We don't know how he acts, and acting is good part of the king-ing. As a member of Small Council he would be okay, though.

Madness, incest, more madness, more incest... Yes! I see what you mean.

They are no more worst than the other houses. Some houses do all of that and more, we just hear more about the Targaryens cause they are a major focus in the story.

Many houses who have thousands of years of history and ancestors had Lords and Kings who engaged in "madness, incest, more madness, and more incest" and than some. So again yeah the Targaryens are awesome and there have been some really great Targaryens throughout Westeros' history.
