If legitimacy mattered as much, all the truly loyal people would have been up in arms to dethrone Robert and put a Targaryen on the throne again. But no one was. Because the Targaryens lost, despite having the legitimate claim. | ||

His way would most likely be "no one dares to oppose him" | ||

Well, I'm only kind of joking. Theon was one of my favourite characters since the beginning. All the guy had to do was bang whores while talking about how great he was lol. I actually think it would be really cool if the little bitchy kid from the vale (Robin?), got turned into a badass by Baelish and Sansa, and then ended up being king | ||

The closest guy I'm aware of to Baelish in English history was Richard Neville of Warwick. Noble, unlike Baelish, but fairly minor until the war started (depending on who you ask, he may have been the guy who started the wars of the roses). Switched sides in the war several times, every time with a mind to increasing his own power. Gained tremendous popular support by being charming and charismatic. Maneuvered to become the richest and most powerful man in the kingdom. Used it to raise several rebellions when it suited him. He ended up king in all but name; but that was enough. He had the real king imprisoned and submissive, but the fact of the true king's survival meant that others were able to rally and eventually drive him from the capital. | ||

Yes, real history is a spoiler. Requesting ban please. | ||

He did when he acused Tyrion Lannister of being the one behind the assasination attempt on bran. Cat told tyrion of these accusations and why Tyrion, now coming to the capitol as the acting hand of the king never did anything about it remains the biggest plothole in the series. | ||

Considering the first two leeches (Rob and Joffrey are dead), it has to be the truth. I wonder what will be the end for Balon, another color wedding? :D Would be interesting spell, your target died while wedding, and every death is so bright that it kicks u in ur brain. Although I hope Balon gonna die suffering. | ||

When Gendry had some sexytime with Melisandra she used 3 leeches to drain some kings blood from him and then Stannis burned them saying 3 names: Joffrey, Robb Stark and Balon Greyjoy. | ||

Also Littlefinger is an useful man to have on his side, whats the point in petty vengeance when you're attacked by a much more powerful force | ||

He can make assumptions but acting without proof is not a good way to go and Tyrion knows it. | ||

Also he cant hold it against Littlefinger for telling the truth about the dagger and the last thing he wants anyway is to draw attention back to that incident when he knows his brother was the one responsible. | ||
