i think its pretty well known that Cersei's children are Jaime's. Giving Myrcella no legal claim. i'm not asking who will end up with it. im just asking who the legal heir would be based on what we know [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] |
Assuming nobody forcefully tries to seize the throne, I believe the person with the strongest claim is Cersei.
There are no more Baratheon's alive if we can trust the TV show to be in line with the books. 150~ years before Robert was born Corwen Baratheon married a woman named Leyne who bore 6 children. Of those children, Elyanna married a Lord named Mathin Lannister. Mathin fathered Jason, who fathered Demon, who fathered Gerold, who fathered Tytos Lannister. Tywin is Tytos' first born.
Of Tywin's children, Jaime is Lord Commander of the Kingsguard making him ineligible. Tyrion is a fugitive, convicted and sentenced to death for regicide. Cersei is next in line. If her gender (or whatever else) prevents her from accession, Lancel is next since Kevan is dead. If Lancel refuses the throne, his brother Martyn Lannister would be next in the line of succession.
On the other hand, if for whatever reason Gendry is legitimized, he would have the strongest claim. (not gonna happen)
