      Kinda ridiculous idea
      None of the Iron Born respected Theon when he returned
      Not his father, nor his sister, or his uncles
      This scenario seems impossible

    Damn so what we've learned here is Theon can never catch a break and the Ironborn are dumb and gullible.
    Why on earth would they think they can take westeros at this point it seems Stannis is King, likely once he gives back Sansa, Robb will end his war and killing Tywins will make the Martells happy. The other kingdoms might actually be united. It'll just be the same as Balons rebellion

    • @johndo7484
      @johndo7484 Місяць тому +14

      Well Stannis won’t stand for Northern independence. He likely won’t give back Sansa unless Robb bends the knee, which he will not do. So Stannis will have to fight the North, Riverlands, and potentially the Vale if Littlefinger comes to power. With that being said, the Northern coalition has more prospects for an alliance with the Tyrells than Stannis. So the Reach could come on side as well. The Iron Islands is still screwed though. Since if Euron actually takes Kings Landing while
      Stannis is fighting the rest of Westeros every single other kingdom will unite against him if they hadn’t already sided with Robb.

    • @JMTgpro
      @JMTgpro Місяць тому +12

      @@johndo7484 The independence of the North is not as absolute as it seems. With Stannis on the Throne, an agreement is more than likely and possible, especially if it falls just before the call of the Wall. If the North calls Robb, he must return. Everything will depend on the diplomacy of whoever is Hand of Stannis (Davos?). And how worried the Lords are about a King who follows R'hllor.
      At best. Stannis secures the North by uniting they Houses, a marriage between Bran and Shireen.
      An alliance against Tywin's forces and pacification of the Kingdom in favor of winter.
      At worst. A Stannis in King's Landing destroys the union. If it took a Maegor to sustain the Targaryen incest, Stannis does not have the strength to sustain his faith. The Reach, Dorne and Iron island will seek their independence. In defense of his faith and ambitions. Vale of Arryn, it will depend... Lysa in this timeline is alive, Petyr would lose his prospects with the fall of Lannister so prematurely. he wouldn't have Harrenhall. Robb wouldn't give it to him... So his only chance to secure something may be to speed up his escape with Sansa. Trying to keep himself in a good eye with Robb and the North (Perhaps thus securing Harrenhall) or do something in the Vale. But the Vale, if it were up to the nobles, would possibly join the Kingdom of the North and the Rivers. But they could also fight for their independence.

    Theon was my favorite character from the books. Why in every theory does he get screwed over? He deserves a win. Unlike every 'true' Stark, he was the most like Ned. He believed in honor and family, to the point where he had to choose between them and kept his honor by turning back to his family. He did wrong, yes, everyone does. That's the point of the books. My issue is he's always, ALWAYS the whipping boy for everything. Give him a chance.

Married Mycella and killed the rest (sent Jamie and Tryion to the wall, me boys). Had one kid but Dany joined my court, so killed Mycella and forbade my first sn from Marrying haha.
