mrunderhill Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 A king does not have the power to do what he likes and get rid of the line of succession. The line of succession is what gives him the authority in the first place. As far as I am concerned Robb's will, whoever it names would not matter.I would give the North to Bran, then Rickon followed by Sansa and lastly Arya.

Night'sQueen Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Jon will not take Winterfell as long as any of his siblings live, except perhaps as regent until they come of age. Sansa is destined for other things, and Rickon will not survive. Bran will leave his tree and return to Winterfell and become another legendary Brandon.

Mladen Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Sansa was only disinherited because she's now a Lannister, but if the marriage is annulled, I think she could make a claim. That being said, I prefer Sansa as Lady Stark of Winterfell in her own right.But, Sansa would never go over her brothers. She would gladly help them in anything. She prayed for Robb even though he abandoned her. I think she might rule as Lady of Winterfell, only in the time of need. Something like Eowyn in Rohan (the leading part, not warrior) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nausicaä Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Both Jon and Sansa could just be regents for Rickon, but saying that Sansa looks like Catelyn and Jon looks like Ned that would probably confuse the heck out of poor Rickon.I'm not sure what's going to happen with Rickon, I just don't think a happy ending with his sister and brother as his regents is very likely, given that he is about to be dragged into the whole mess by Manderly. But you know, that (Rickon mistaking Jon and Sansa for Ned and Catelyn) is actually a popular idea in certain circles and it would be a good source of character drama. I think that if Sansa and Rickon meet again, he is going to mistake her for Catelyn regardless of her being or not being his legal guardian. He loved and missed Catelyn so much and probably remembers her better than any of his other family members. I think we could get a happy reunion that would seem perfectly normal at first, but then it would be revealed that Rickon refuses to accept that Sansa is not Catelyn and see her as his sister and she would have to deal with that.I thought there was a chance I'd see you in this thread. :)Well, someone had to say it ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Stark Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 You must have missed her chapters in Feast. It happens sometimes, I know. You should check it out though, fourth book in the series.

Fat Mac Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I think Rickon will be Lord of WF/KitN by the endThe only other Stark I'd like to see rule it would be Sansa. I don't like the idea of Jon ruling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I am concerned Robb's will, whoever it names would not matter.I would give the North to Bran, then Rickon followed by Sansa and lastly Arya.I agree too. I would love to see both Bran and Rickon living in WF their whole lives. If any folks had any idea of overthrowing the crippled Bran, Rickon would be there to have his back. Bran has the brain for ruling and Rickon has the brawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrunderhill Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Robb never abandoned herhe did what he had to do she knows thatI disagree with this. What was Robb going to lose from trading Jaime for his sisters? His crown possibly the Riverlands, but he should have valued his sisters higher. From a propaganda terms he should have made the war about regaining his sisters. They failed to regain Lyanna, but they would get back Sansa and Arya. After that he could retreat North and declare independence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sansa could have tied to Robb one of the Great Houses, or at least a powerful some ally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nest Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I don't see Arya or Bran being destined to produce heirs and run a household and so on. Jon is still a man of the nights watch. Rickon is the only one i can see continuing the Stark like, and winterfell is a Stark place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mladen Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 you forgot that Sansa was still betrothed to Joffery at the timeAt the time Cat negotiated with Freys, yes. But, one of the first peace conditions Robb sent to Joffrey was that engagements would be broken, and if he did exchange Jaime for Sansa, he could have used her to negotiate with some other House...
