I don't blame them. As far as they know the Boltons are still aligned with the Lannisters.

It might not happen this season but if Jon wins and there's talk of a new King of the North, she's absolutely going to challenge his birthright compared to her's.




Jon does not want to be king of the north so I don't think a challenge will be necessary. I envision popular support for Jon as leader of the victorious army but in a speech before a throng of supporters Jon will likely abdicate the title to a rightful Stark heir.

I wonder if Cersei, in a last, desperate effort to save herself, threatens to tell the truth about Tommen's father.

If she did, they'd both be screwed, but Tommen could still preserve his rule by giving her whatever she wants.


I see this as a failed strategy on her part. Tommen is a good and sincere person unlike Cersei. He would likely confess the truth to the HS and then either kill himself or face judgement and allow Cersei to face the music as well. Due to the prophesy that all of Cercei's children will die before she does, I can easily see Tommen committing suicide.

That thread is shockingly accurate. Holy shite.

I wonder if Tommen dismissed Jaime from the KG as "heir insurance" vs Cersei until he has a son, unaware that if her trial reveals his parentage...none of them will sit the throne.

Will the FM try to put Kevan or even Lancil forward?

Or has it been the HS's endgame all along to throw KL into chaos?

The HS is being portrayed as a sincere man of faith and I see no reason to think otherwise. I believe he wants the throne to held by a benevolent moral leader who will help those in need. Tommen could be that leader but based on Cersei's prophesy, it seems that Tommen is destined to die possibly by his own hand.

I already said that, but Cersei is stupid and might think Tommen would capitulate in an effort to save his throne. If he's deposed and proven to be a bastard, there is no line of succession, so he might be persuaded to spare Cersei to keep the kingdom from descending to chaos.

He's dying either way, but I doubt it's suicide. Margaery is my #1 suspect because of her fake piety and refusal to sleep in his bed.

I just want the fricking sparrows all to die.

Not sure if it's ever been brought up, but there's a theory that the High Sparrow is actually Howland Reed.

This would make a perfect motive for a man who didn't actually believe all the religious bullshite and just wanted the Lannisters stripped of power to avenge the Starks.

Til I see them at the same time in the same place, with valid ID, the theory is still in play.

Surely Lancel has confessed ALL to the HS, including Tommen's suspected (fricking confirmed) parentage. HS being hell-bent on bringing the Lannisters down will insure Tommen as collateral damage at least, and the Iron Throne left without an heir.

This is a coup by the FM to either seize the throne or do away with it altogether to pave the way for what, the Westerosi Inquisition?

It's possible for the HS to convince himself of his piety...but I'm not buying it. I think he's the most dangerous player in the game right now.

...unless LucasP.

My theory...Ramsey loses, Jon puts him in a dungeon. Sansa's letter was to Robin who sends his knights to save the day. Little Finger tries to talk his way into her good graces but it backfires for the last time. Sansa has little finger put in the same cell as Ramsey so that he can feel what he does to people. Ghost kills ramsey as he tries to escape. Erbody wins!

No way this happens, but I think I would enjoy that.
