What If Renly Declared for Stannis for the Iron Throne

What If Renly Declared for Stannis for the Iron Throne? Let’s explore the depths of it in the video. The waters around Storm’s End are crisp and choppy, making it impossible for most sailors to make landfall in the castle with this weather. But one ship, a small boat with black sail, cuts through the waves with practiced ease. Ser Davos Seaworth would have preferred to wait for better weather, but his lord and king insisted they move now less they be late for the rendezvous. As they reach the base of the castle, a hand reaches out to help them. Ser Cortnay Penrose offers them a nod and guides them upstairs to the solar, where Renly is waiting. The younger Baratheon smiles in the dim candlelight. Renly: Welcome home, brother. Stannis: I certainly hope you’ve invited me here because you wish to back my claim, brother. I’ve heard you’ve called your banners. For what purpose? Renly: Not with that attitude, Stannis. Suspicious as ever. Yes, your spies serve you well. I have summoned the Stormlords and they shall be here within the moon’s turn. But as to who they will serve, that will depend on how this negotiation goes. Stannis: What is there to negotiate on? The throne is mine by right. You know it, and the realm should as well. Renly: And yet the realm already has three kings. That is the problem. Right now, no one knows what to believe, and you think waving the law around will assure them of anything? Some would say Joffrey has a better claim than you, and that is what I wish to avoid. We cannot divide our forces now. So I’ve invited you here to come to terms. Davos: What are these terms, Lord Renly? Renly: First is simple enough. I wish to remain Lord of Storm’s End and paramount of the Stormlands. Second, I believe I can get the Tyrells on our side if I wed Margaery and offer them some positions in the Small Council? Stannis: You would choose my Small Council for me? I’m surprised you didn’t ask to be my Hand. All for what? One kingdom out of seven? Renly: I’m offering you the means to take your throne. Do not be short-sighted, brother. The Reach has the largest army, and combined with the Stormlands, no house can challenge you. We can march straight towards King’s Landing. And as for your Hand…well. Chuckles. You might not like what I have to ask next. I wish to be named your heir. There is a long pause as Stannis glares at him. Ser Cortnay steps closer with his sword in hand, ready to defend his liege lord as for a moment it looks like Stannis might attack him. Stannis: You do not just insult me with that demand; you insult your niece as well. Renly: Shireen is a girl far too sweet for the throne. She has no interest in ruling anyways. Stannis pauses and considers it. Renly’s words ring true, as Shireen has never once expressed interest in the Iron Throne. She prefers to spend her time with books and Patchface. If she were to be disinherited, Stannis doubts she would make much of a fuss. But the thought of doing that to his daughter, after she was denied so much in life, still upsets him. Stannis: Very well, but I expect Shireen to be compensated. She is a sweet girl, as you say; the last thing she needs is to spend her life in misery. I want only the best for her. Renly: On that, we agree. So, do we have an agreement? Stannis: Hesitates. Very well, but the allies you bring better be worth this trouble. Renly smiles, and within days, Stannis gets his army. The Stormlords all rally to their castle, pledging themselves to Stannis. Within the month, men from the Reach begin to trickle in. The first of these is Loras Tyrell, who leads the vanguard and is made Renly’s protector. In the meantime, Stannis begins organizing his army, raising his army in the Narrow Sea and what few houses from the Crownlands have pledged themselves to him. It is not much, but they make up the core of Stannis’s army. Soon, their ranks swell to almost fifty thousand, more than enough for Stannis to take King’s Landing. Renly wishes to take a slow, leisurely pace to the capital, starving the Lannisters as they go and gathering whatever support they can. The sight of their army will cause more lords to join their forces and allow them to take the city with ease. However, Stannis sees that their opportunity will not last forever. Once word gets out of their alliance, Tywin and the Lannisters will rush to fortify the city, and the opportunity for a swift victory will be lost. He pushes his men hard and begins to pick up the pace. He sends his ships ahead to blockade the city and tell of their arrival. There is no point hiding it and once they are moving, it won’t matter. True to Stannis’s prediction, Tywin breaks off from the Riverlands once he hears of Stannis’s plan to march on king's landing. Even with the Westerlands under threat, he knows that the loss of King’s Landing will be a death blow to their cause. #gameofthrones #gameofthroneswhatif #whatif #stannisbaratheon
