Remember the episode when Stannis sailed his fleet to Kings Landing and Tyrion blew it away with the wildfire filled ship? When the footwar began outside the city, Cersei had Tommen with her on the Iron Throne, with poison ready to go, while she waited to see who was coming. When it turned out to be Tywin, she dumped the poison. Quote HistoryQuoted:

So, now that shit head is dead, who would the crown go to? Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think there is a clear successor. It would go to the next born son of the prior king - Joffrey's younger brother Tommen. Maybe its a question because I can't recall even hearing his name untill this thread. If the series mentioned him, it must have been in passing... Remember the episode when Stannis sailed his fleet to Kings Landing and Tyrion blew it away with the wildfire filled ship?

IIRC, no. I think Dorne is the only region of Westeros where the line of succession is by order of birth regardless of gender. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Not interested in spoilers, just curious who it would go to by the book as it stands right now. Tommen, his younger brother is next in line...IIRC it had to go to a male, which is why the new queen doesn't just take over at fuckwit's death Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile Except for in Dorne. targaryens put women in line too, didn't they? or was that just from the incest... IIRC, no. I think Dorne is the only region of Westeros where the line of succession is by order of birth regardless of gender. Outside of Dorne and the Iron Islands, all of Westeros practices what is known as Agnatic-Cognatic Primogeniture. Meaning that women CAN inherit lands and titles, but only so long as there are no living male heirs. How far removed a 'heir' can be before a women inherits is the kind of thing that starts wars, and is a grey enough area that women tend to have trouble holding onto their lands after they inherit under these circumstances. Barbary Ryswell and Donella Hornwood are examples of this from the books. Dorne practices True Cognatic Primogeniture, meaning that women inherit on the same grounds as men. So if a Dornish lord has a daughter and then a son, the daughter inherits his lands and titles. Hence why Arianne Martell is Prince Doran's heir and not either of his sons. Since Myrcella is in Dorne currently, this holds interesting implications regarding who inherits the Iron Throne. As to the Ironborn, they are just silly barbarians. No one cares about their kingsmoot, and no one really cares about THEM unless they are being sneaky bastards or Victarion is being awesome. |

Those where just the first two that came to mind. The Mormont's are somewhat of a unique case because the women are trained to fight, which is pretty rare in Westeros. It implies some special circumstances for Bear Island specifically. She needs to hit HBO in face with an axe for leaving her and her daughters out of the show. I get why they did it, but I would have loved to see some Dacey Mormont goodness.

Click To View Spoiler it would be cool to see them included. to add to the muddy waters surrounding them, remember Bear Island actually belonged to Jeor and Jorah's branch of the family. The Old Bear abdicated his seat to freeze his ass off at the Wall and let Jorah take over, and Jorah managed to fuck things up and get himself a death sentence after marrying a money grubbing whore. |

Okay show watchers. In the TV show, when Sam and Gilly are beseiged by wights, they are saved by a murder of crows (kind of). I thought for sure that Coldhands appears in the TV show, if briefly. Does he?
Coldhands is a mysterious shrouded figure that rides on an elk. Also, episode 3: Breaker of Chains- In the frenzied aftermath of the royal wedding, Tyrion gets a visit from a loyal subject, but wonders if anyone in his family will help him out of his current predicament. Meanwhile, Tywin offers to work for the common good with a presumed enemy; Sam takes stock of the personnel at Castle Black; the Hound gives another life lesson to Arya; and Daenerys makes a decision outside the walls of Meereen.

There's a guy that seems to be the leader on a horse with a spear. The only time I remember Sam and Gilly seing White Walkers is when one comes after him and he kills it with Dragon Glass. |

I thought they distracted the wight a little but I might be getting what happened in the book confused with what happened in the TV show. I guess I will go back and re-read that part. It's got to be in Storm of Swords at some point about 1/2 way through. |

No, the marriage isn't complete until it's been consummated. That's why the bedding ceremony is such a big deal up North and why Tywin was always on Tyrion abut forcing Sansa into bed. Maergery never slept with Joffrey, so the marriage is null. That was the rule in the real world (in Western Civilization, anyway) up until a couple of centuries ago. At least one of Henry VIII marriages was annulled because he never slept with the wife. ETA: Beaten while typing. Damn nacho eating slowed me down.

Good point. The Iron Islands are so remote that they don't face serious opposition. That's the only reason they've got the power they have - if they were physically located near Kings Landing, the Ironborn would have been "Rains of Castamere'd" a long time ago. |

Welp I guess that is the end of Jaime's kings guard days.
Old ladt tyrell has to be pissed. Spend a fortune on a wedding to get into royal power and have it nullified by assassination. I keep thinking that Jaime would be the most likely person to assume the title of protector of the realm while tommen is growing up. That would make cersei happy as well as tywin who would get his eldest in power and he would still rule being hand of the king. hopefully in this next episode we get to see more about blackfish and walden frey. Did I hear right them saying that blackfish's son was in the dungeons and not dead? also did they foreshadow brandon warging a dragon in the last episode during his warg-dreaming? makes me wonder if that is how he intends to fight off the wights. |

That was the rule in the real world (in Western Civilization, anyway) up until a couple of centuries ago. At least one of Henry VIII marriages was annulled because he never slept with the wife. ETA: Beaten while typing. Damn nacho eating slowed me down. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: So, now that shit head is dead, who would the crown go to? Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think there is a clear successor. It would go to the next born son of the prior king - Joffrey's younger brother Tommen. Not sure how that's even a question. but there is technically a new Queen so would she not reign until she tosses in the towel. The current Queen of England reigns and the King died a long time ago. Charles did not get to take over. I can foresee the new Queen not wanting to relinquish power and the Old man Lannister whacking her so as not to lose the kingdom. No, the marriage isn't complete until it's been consummated. That's why the bedding ceremony is such a big deal up North and why Tywin was always on Tyrion abut forcing Sansa into bed. Maergery never slept with Joffrey, so the marriage is null. That was the rule in the real world (in Western Civilization, anyway) up until a couple of centuries ago. At least one of Henry VIII marriages was annulled because he never slept with the wife. ETA: Beaten while typing. Damn nacho eating slowed me down. It's still grounds for annulment, though based on fraud rather than the failure to engage in the act itself.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Welp I guess that is the end of Jaime's kings guard days. Old ladt tyrell has to be pissed. Spend a fortune on a wedding to get into royal power and have it nullified by assassination. I keep thinking that Jaime would be the most likely person to assume the title of protector of the realm while tommen is growing up. That would make cersei happy as well as tywin who would get his eldest in power and he would still rule being hand of the king. hopefully in this next episode we get to see more about blackfish and walden frey. Did I hear right them saying that blackfish's son was in the dungeons and not dead? also did they foreshadow brandon warging a dragon in the last episode during his warg-dreaming? makes me wonder if that is how he intends to fight off the wights. However, I think Bran warging into a dragon is very prophetic. We'll see... |
