Who realistically has the most claim to the Iron Throne?

Technically Robert's Rebellion was started by Jon Arryn because of some dead Starks and the Mad King was killed by a Lannister. Out of all the major houses that were involved, Baratheon had one of the weaker claims to the throne but Robert became king because he had pretty much killed off all the other Targaryens and he was effectively next in line.

Stark. Andals belong in Essos

The only true king of Westeros.

The king who cared.

Regent, not king. The point was for him to rule until Joffrey got old enough

just lol if you think the writers are going to give it to a male

The Baratheons are all dead so right of conquest doesnt matter anyway. Jon is the only one who has any claim at all.

>Weaker claim
He was put on the throne because the Barethons are a "Targ" house

Dracarys

Tyrion, son of the Mad King

>implying that's not what's going to happen

He was only kind because he got there first. Also he was one of the few people that actually wanted the throne.

Nah his claim was that his great grandma was a targ or something. It was just an excuse though since every other person with any sort of claim were either dead or in exile

Fucking idiot who doesnt understand right of conquest.

The Night King is dead.
Did he have any male heirs?

Jaime and Cersei may beand will never matter or will be confirmed in the books, tyrion isnt.

Jon's situation kind of sucks, he has no proof, he gave up his titles when he joined the watch, and nobody really knows that he was brought back from the dead so everyone should think he's an oathbreaker.

Dany still has a decent claim, but Jon is kind of in the way. If the two got marries their claim collectively would be very strong.

Cersei has a strong claim, but everyone should hate her and want her dead

Gendry has an okay claim, if he were legitimized he could make a case for himself, but it depends who legitimizes him.

The strongest claim by far belongs to Viserys, but many fans think he is dead

But the real villain of GoT is Stannis for killing the last Baratheon heir who could have been a just ruler (No, not Renly, redditors)

King? he's fucking dead lmao. more like king of the dead haha
wait a minute...

yeah no shit, that makes his claim the strongest you fucking retard

That's completely wrong. Tywin was the first to take KL, followed by Ned. Robert never even wanted the throne but he had to since he was the only who had Targ ancestry.

The dragons.

jon and cersei, dany has a weaker claim
basically a succession war at this point

why did renly even bother?

The real villain was the boar for killing Robert and starting all this to begin with.

Cersei may of planned Robert getting drunk but the boar was the one who slayed the king

The line of succession after the Mad King was killed went like this:
1. Rhaegar
2. Aegon (Rhaegar + Elia's son)
3. Jon Snow
4. Viserys
5. Rhaego (Daenerys + Drogo's son)
6. Robert
7. Joffrey
8. Tommen
9. Stannis
10. Renly
11. Rhaenys (Rhaegar + Elia's daughter)
12. Daenerys
13. Myrcella
14. Shireen

Jon's claim is debatable since he joined the Night's Watch and renounced his ownership to anything. Although he technically died and was freed from his Night's Watch vows but it's unsure what happens to the line of succession when someone gets ressurected.

If Gendry ever gets legitimised then he'd slot in between Robert and Joffrey.

Sort of
Cersei seems to be the type to destroy everything and since Jamie is still alive I’m sure he’ll kill her to stop her destroying the whole city whilst Hound vs Mountain with reveal that it’s Joffrey head on top
But it makes sense that the throne is melted down

He's alive in the books, and alive in our hearts.

Also even though Joffrey, Tommen and Myrcella were illegitimate, they were recognised by law as Robert's children so they remain in the line of succession.

After the death of Tommen, we have to look up in the family tree. Robert Baratheon and all his brothers are dead without issues. His father, Steffon, had no brothers. It's the same with Robert's grandfather, Ormund. So, the heir is at least a 2nd cousin of Robert.

Gendry is a bastard. He has no claim whatsoever.

The point used to be nobody, at the end of the day, deserved it. It was just a chair.
Now fucking Jon gets it or whatever. GoT is dead.

Need to add the entire Dothraki army and most of the Unsullied to Dany's list.

Who the fuck is ruling over the Stormlands in the show anyway? Especially after Tommen's death?

Who has the best tax policy

Claims and rights are spooks. What really matters is de facto power to take it.
That said, I think Gendry has more of an official right than anyone else, but Dany could also have seniority depending on how the law works with respect to bastards and female inheritance.

viserys wasnt king of anything

Bastards have no claim to inheritance and female heirs are placed behind all possible male heirs in the Targaryen inheritance system. So as long as Gendry doesn't get legitimised Dany has the second-strongest claim after Jon.

I dropped it after whatsherface killed her gimpy uncle in Dorne.
How did Tommen die?

The show acts like entire factions are gone after the house that leads them is killed off, so who knows

Killed himself after Cersei blew up his waifu

>tommen
kek

The real villain of this story was Rhaegar for believing in a false prophecy that led him to have a secret marriage with Lyanna Stark to have a child that could be the PTWP. If he hadn't "kidnapped" her, the Mad King wouldn't have burned any Starks and Robert's Rebellion would have never happened. The Targs would continue on with their rule, Rhaegar would have become king, and they could have just hired a Faceless Man to anime-shot the Night King if the dead ever made it through the wall without a dragon.

Aegon

The nights watch doesn't exist anymore

>a woman on the throne
bwahahaha

Yfw you can't even remember half these characters or who was related to who story wise

I thought Arya kied the old guy where it says euron killed him. Didn't she wear a face of his daughter or some shit

euron killed balon greyjoy, you're thinking of the freys that arya killed

>behind the faggot Renly and her own stillborn child in the line of succession
Absolute state of Daenerys

Jon is the kind of guy who'll reject the crown and pass it along to whoever's next in line, anyway

they should put a blue haired kid in a quick shot of the golden company just for fun

He said joffrey but ned wrote "rightful heir" instead, the cheeky bugger. Wasn't it hinted that gendry might have been the child that cersei lost? Or did I imagine that

This, targaryens are a bunch of we wuzes, gendry is the rightful king

Cersei never had any of Robert's children in the books, it's a show invention

Jaime Lannister
Only Faith of the Seven is the religion for proper men and the continent.

even Targ satanists submitted to the Faith of the Seven

inb4 Cersei loses the war somehow even though the other side literally doesn't have an army so she pulls a Frieza and just wildfires the whole fucking city

Arya because she killed the night king

watch dany + the north have a huge army next episode kek

>Just a glorified coup.
Civil war is the complete opposite of coup, honey:
>"A SUDDEN, violent, and illegal seizure of power from a government."
What Cersei did to Eddard was a coup, Robert appointed Eddard to be the regent, Cersei dismissed it, appointed herself the regent and arrested Eddard.
