@Vechs Poland has to be careful as to not bring EU sight in this direction. They were mercilessly pushing for Poland to open borders, thankfully Ukraine war paused this pressure
@SpeedyX04005298@DreadBirate@RealiaAmelia Robert Rebellion was clearly justified due to Targaryen’s tyranny, Renly was just power-hungry, nothing more. It’s not the same
@SpeedyX04005298@DreadBirate@RealiaAmelia Perhaps, but I think after some time people would forget about why they disliked Stannis or Joffrey, and the new king would get new enemies that would be happy to spread stories about how he got the throne. Bad optics
@DreadBirate@RealiaAmelia I think Stannis would be gone for sure, what else to do with him? And yes, nobody would be revolting for Stannis, but in next decades Renly would be having new enemies and he would be remembered by then as someone who got the throne by killing his brother using Tyrells swords
@MarioVinicius00@DreadBirate@RealiaAmelia Robert had claim to the throne because he was linked to Targaryens through his grandmother, and Aerys II and Rhaegar became tyrants. It was weak but it wasn’t just might makes right, as in the case of Renly. Renly popularity would eventually vanish and his enemies would kill him
@DreadBirate@RealiaAmelia Even if he wins, he does so by usurping throne and killing his own brother, the rightful king, and killing/exiling his daughter, the next in line. He would be dealing with consequences of this his whole life, and he won’t be able to pass the throne to his son easily
