Succession rules, how do they work ?

Succession rules, how do they work ?

Succession rules mean nothing when confronted with the supreme might of Girl Power.

>This was done solely to please feminists.

Do you want to be the one to tell her she isn't in line for the throne? I don't.

Yeah she basically guaranteed a peasant rebellion because she blew up a sacred monument and hundreds of people

coupled with all the noble families declaring war on her immediately

WHO is in line for the throne at this point though.

>Succession rules, how do they work ?
The person who controls the largest army (Lannister) and burns the other people with wildfire (Cersei).

Who's going to tell the peasants that it was Cersei who blew it up? They don't have the same knowledge that we the audience do.

Gendry is next in line.

he fell out of the boat

the headless horseman

She is the only one left who could sit on that throne. No one else is eligible by succession laws. There isn't a single Barathean (that anyone knows or cares about) left alive.

Well Dorne and High Garden have already pledged to Danny and the North has seceded again. so yeah she's now the queen of just King's Landing and all remaining Lanister lands.

Wouldn't you have to go backwards in the family tree and then proceed down a different branch to find the heir?

Sh-shutup!

;~;

>the contendor for most evil woman in the show
>cersei vs dany
>sjw's&feminists still eat that shit up.

Its like they arent even following the story anymore, just looking at the picture and every time they see a woman doing something cool they start making ape sounds.

>the largest army (Lannister)

The third largest

>unsulied&100K horsefuckers&tyrels&martels&DRAGONS
>the night king and his undead army
>lannister army who now will have to fight the north and the FUCK HUGE ARMY that is coming to rape kings landing.

Jaime is Kingsguard so he cannot inherit Lannister shit. But the crown is Boaratheon so still makes no sense.

Just a reminder,

>Euron will cross danny in the narrow sea, euron will call for a cracken with shit he found in his pirate travels and will fuck up a big part of danny's fleet before dragons fuck him up.

Dragons cant do shit to a creature who atacks from under the water.

>Jaime is Kingsguard

not anymore, keep up.

She IS the only successor left, so it makes sense.

Tommen was a fucking idiot. Cersei did the only rational thing she could in her situation.

Just as a general question

How come Cersei has been called Lannister for the entirety of the series? Why isn't she Cersei Barratheon? All the other noble ladies take the names of their husbands

Well succession rules says that the Dragon bitch is the true heir, except there's no precedent for having a woman on the Iron Throne.

So I guess you can find a legitimate agnatic descendant through the Targ line, which means that another House is to sit on the throne.

In any case I blame all this on that fucker Aemon, who renounced his claim to the throne, if it wouldn't been for this fucker none of this would've happened.

In the books she would be Cersi Baratheon

ladies from big families retain their names.

Catelyn Tully still became Stark.

Sansa was called Lady Bolton for a while.

Both from big important families and both changed their names. Does it have something to do with taking the name of the royal line?

Do the books give any reason for why he renounced his claim? Did he just not want to get assassinated?

last one in the chair when the paino music stops is the ruler

it should be jamie, right? he's not kingsguard anymore.

When in question biggest army rules

>People complaining about feminism as if burning your political foes alive and grabbing the throne when it isn't really yours is a positive thing

I'm pretty sure anyone can take the throne in this universe if they have the forces and no one to oppose them. Cersei said as much to Ned in S1.

>Implying feminists dont lose their shit when a woman gets to make a smug face while murdering people.

YAAAAAS KUHWEEEEN HAHAHAHA

Peasants don't know what happened and it's not like they could do anything against the entire lannister army.

And all the noble families have already declared war on her, the south is with Dany and the entire North is with Jon.

Nah, he's a Lannister not a Baratheon. He has about as much claim as Davos.

Legally we're following agnatic-cognatic primogeniture which states that the oldest heir inherits the crown with a preference for males and women inherit only if there is no male heir. Robert successfully pressed his claim so Baratheons come before Targaryens.

So since Robert is dead, his "sons" are dead, Stannis is dead and his daughter is dead, and Renly is dead and he has no issue, it would go back up the Baratheon tree. You'd go back to Steffon Baratheon and see if he had any brothers, if not you'd go back to Ormund Baratheon and see if he had any more sons.

If not that's where the Baratheon line ends because Robert was only eligible in the first place because Ormund was married to Rhaelle Targaryen Aegon the Vth's daughter and his claim came from her line, so you'd start with Rhaelle and look for a suitable male heir first.

Then it comes down to the only two Targaryens we have left Jon Snow is first if he is legitimized, if not you go back up the tree to the mad king and it goes to Dany his only remaining heir.

>mfw stannis could've just waited for a little while and he would be next for the throne.

Actually, succession rules say that Jon Targaryen is the true heir, but you're a retarded, uninformed bitch so what can you expect?

That makes sense, but what would you do until you find the heir? Who would sit the throne?

>could have just waited at Dragonstone as the everyone tore eachother apart
>play some poker with Daavos or read a book with Shireen
>then as the common people would have had enough of the turmoil and strife they had to suffer he could just ride in with their backing and take everything

I liked her dress, looked pretty badass.

Thats why her cousin got led underground, they set him up to take the blame.

>Thats why her cousin got led underground, they set him up to take the blame.
implying there is anything left of him after all that shit went off, if anything is even left its not 2000AD they arent gonna DNA that shit with eye of newt

Cant risk waiting and letting someone take the reigns unifying westeros under their kingship.

The starks and the lannisters could have won the throne. Then he'd be left as Stannis the rebel with no chance of victory.

I dont mind what she did but why did she have to go all hot topic with her wardrobe?

Has someone got a close up of the crown? I really wanna see this Lannister version

The small council oversees the affairs of the realm as a regency council until such time that a new monarch is found, but then again they're mostly all dead. So I guess you'd have to find a steward to the throne, think Boromir's dad from LOTR until Aragorn showed up.

Lmao this what proof? "It appears to be Cersei's cousin's head fully intact and with no burns!" She doesn't seem to give a fuck about who knows at the moment.

Some Estermont.

>No one else is eligible by succession laws.

This is false, succession would fall to the closet living heirs of the father, which as far as it is known would be the kinfolk of Robert Baratheons mother, an Estermont. Unless some bastard or another of Roberts were legitimized.

It's the same crown

Nah, they aren't descended from Aegon the 5th and as such have no claim like the Baratheons did.

Well you see, King Robert Baratheon had a wife, and that wife would be the queen.
Now, a Queen gets to rule when the king dies and they have no heirs.

Not that hard.

Alright so who will take the throne from Cersei?

Cersei's strength = Lannisters and whatever the fuck they got left in the riverlands. The Undead Mountain & Kingsguard. Freys? Most likely finished.

Varys Martel&Tyrell alliance

Daeneyrs and her Dothraki, Unsullied, Ironborn and fucking dragons

Euron, his fleet and his big cock.

Jon Snow, Wolf Queen and the entire North behind them.

Littlefinger and the Vale.

Nightking and undead army.

Don't forget the Iron Throne still holding most of the Stormlands.

Westerlands, Stormlands, Crownlands, and parts of the Riverlands. Not a bad collection of forces really, I'm kinda figuring Euron will ally with Cersei.
