Who in your opinion had the right to be the King after Robert died? Was it Stannis? Seems the obvious option.

I mean, Robert was a usurper, so we could argue that Danaerys was the rightful heir.

I mean…. Geoffy was the rightful heir he just happened to be an insufferable count(using the hounds voice).

I mean let’s just assume Robert was the rightful king…. Joffrey was a bastard…. Meaning Stannis would be in line

I always loved the: "Bran's story was so good it wasn't even in Season 5"

The the correct answer is.... Gendry (from the show).

Obviously this is fiction, but it doesn't pass sibling to sibling, unless there are no heirs.
Stannis would be sitting in line talking about fewer instead of less - while Gendry is sitting on Iron Throne.

Stannis was the rightful heir
Non-recognized bastards arent in the line of inheritance. Gendry would need to be recognized before he could inherit

Robert was a usurper, so we could argue that Danaerys was the rightful heir.

I don't understand the term "userper" here. The Targaryens beat everyone else to become king then Robert beat the Targaryens to become king. What is the difference?

Joffrey
Tommen
Stannis
Renly
But as it worked irl, the real answer is whoever won the inevitable war

Mya Stone is older that Gendry and openly known as Robert's eldest. Kept her in the Vale, after Cersei told not to bring her to Kings Landing.
Since he was the first of his house it had neve been established if they followed absolute primogeniture or agnatic primogeniture.

Jon Snow
Legitimate son of Rhaegar and rightful heir in Targaryen line.
Of course, more realistically, the "rightful" heir to throne in GOT is whoever is sitting on it.
