not in the face Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 If all the Martells die but a married Mrycella Baratheon lives, is she the ruler of Dorne? Wait, actually is she going to become Mrycella Martell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait, actually is she going to become Mrycella Martell?I don't think so,Blood right doesn't pass through marriage.So it should go to a cousin of the Martells or something,that is unless she has a kid.

Black Wolf Smith Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 If all the Martells die but a married Mrycella Baratheon lives, is she the ruler of Dorne? Wait, actually is she going to become Mrycella Martell? It would depend on many, many things. If her family were to win and keep the throne, and she was grown, with a Martell child, then yes, she run Dorne until it grew up. As a child, not likely.

Wait, actually is she going to become Mrycella Martell?Let's not forget that as long as she is officially Myrcella Baratheon (the only scenario where I can imagine her marriage to Trystane proceeding) she is not without a Martell claim via her Targaryen great-grandmother, whose own great-grandmother was Myriah Martell. While it seems a tenuous relationship, she might just end up being one of those cousins Morienthar mentions above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may hail from a branch that split off before the Targ marriages (using generational math, it's possible to predict that Doran is only three generations from Maron Martell and Daenerys Targaryen) or he may be closer. My point was that Myrcella has a claim, not that it's the best one. Let's face it- she's not actually a Baratheon at all, a fact I can't see being ignored forever. And if fAegon succeeds in being accepted as Elia's son, he will be the next in line, with Jon Snow in the mix closer than any Baratheon offspring if you accept RLJ. Finally, Daenerys would also be ahead of any Baratheons though behind her brother's children. Poor Ser Manfrey wouldn't stand much of a chance against these other claimants, who I wager all have more power behind them than a simple castellan.

RumHam Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Prince Doran took a jagged breath. “Dorne still has friends at court. Friends who tell us thingswe were not meant to know. This invitation Cersei sent us is a ruse. Trystane is never meant to reachKing’s Landing. On the road back, somewhere in the kingswood, Ser Balon’s party will be attacked byoutlaws, and my son will die. I am asked to court only so that I may witness this attack with my own eyesand thereby absolve the queen of any blame. Oh, and these outlaws? They will be shouting, ‘Halfman,Halfman,’ as they attack. Ser Balon may even catch a quick glimpse of the Imp, though no one else will.”When Cersei hatches this plan, is she aware that some of Tyrion's mountain men are still in the Kingswood? I always assumed she would use her own men in costume, but is it possible she was she planning to hire them? It seems risky to have Myrcella go through the Kingswood. It would be pretty funny if Cersei's fake outlaws got slaughtered by the real outlaws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caz Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I did think as much, but thought there might be something I was missing with GRRM's description of them..pale faces and dark eyes, or something similar. Just thought it was worth checking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papirico52 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Why did Ned claim Joff was the rightful King I believe he would not have done that, not honorable Ned Stark (I'm going to reread his last chapter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trinton07 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Why did Ned claim Joff was the rightful King I believe he would not have done that, not honorable Ned Stark (I'm going to reread his last chapter)He did it because he was promised that his daughters would not be harmed and he would be allowed to take the black. Neither of these promise were fulfilled, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Elsa Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Why did Ned claim Joff was the rightful King I believe he would not have done that, not honorable Ned Stark (I'm going to reread his last chapter)Varys urges him to make a false confession to protect his family. If he does that, the king would be merciful to him and allow him to take the black and live forevermore at the Wall. But Joff demanded his head instead..Ninja'd :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
