re: Crackpot ASOIAF Theories SPOILERS

So I was trying to figure out how Gendry plays a role in the future seeing as how the only people that know he is Robert's son for sure are dead. So let's say that at some point, Stoneheart goes too far and "King Robert's Men" decide that she is no longer fit or something happens that creates a leadership vaccuum in the BWOB. Brienne puts it forth that Gendry is a Baratheon and because of his royal ties he is made the leader.

We know that Stannis isnt going to make it out alive which would mean that there would only be Shireen left to claim any Baratheon lands and titles. I get the feeling that she and Selyse aren't going to live past of WoW. Just call it a hunch. I feel like once Targs hit Westeros in full force that the BWOB would easily link up with them and become a quasi-sellsword company given their mutual hate for the Lannisters.

Gendry and company provide leal service to the new crown and as a result he is legitimized and given Storm's End. Then he can marry a re-animated Arya, after she Nissa Nissas Jon's Sword. Oh and I don't give a shite about Edric Storm.
