I still wonder for the rightful succession to the Iron Throne.
I mean, all of the Baratheons are dead, the Iron Throne does not seat Queens (yet). There hopefully won't be enough time for a real battle for the Iron Throne as Dany is on her way.
Jon has the best claim, although Bran needs to figure out how to get his ass south of the wall. At least Uncle Benjen could have dropped them off at the wall, although the weirwood was a good stop.
Gendry, anyone? The Stag Bastard rises!!!
Let's see....
According to this family tree here (http://awoiaf.westeros.org/images/c/c6/H...y_tree.jpg)
Aerys (the mad king) had 3 children: Rhaegar, Viserys, and Daenerys.
Both Rhaegar and Viserys are dead, so Daenerys should have the claim of the throne.
Jon is (supposedly) the son of Rhaegar, so Dany's nephew.
However, Jon is still a bastard of Rhaegar's, for he was married to Elia Martell, the one that was supposedly killed by The Mountain... remember what Oberyn Martell wanted him to confess?.. and he did!
So, we're left with Jon having both Targaryen and Stark blood, while Dany is a pure blood Targaryen.
Jon would be a nice match to bring unity to the 7 kingdoms, while fulfilling Dany's (genetic) desire to mate with another Targaryen. But Dany's not gonna have kids, or so it's been hinted at... How's that bloodline going to survive?
I know!! Once Jon and Dany sit on the throne, they're going to institute a "democracy", like what Jon learned from the Free Folk!
Gendry is lost, I think... better not count on him. He'd only have a claim through Robert... and both Jon and Daenerys have a claim from the Targaryens, which came before Robert... so he's third in line, at best.... fourth, if we count Prince Aegon, from the books.
