So I play a lot of the game of thrones mod for Crusader Kings 3. this happened once. Robert married a Dornish noblewoman and then died in a tournament accident. Jeoffrey took the throne at like 7 He was still on the throne when Young Griff invaded. Dorn, Highgarden, the Stormlands under Renley, 90% of the Riverlands and about half the vale jumped at the chance to get a child Psychopath off the iron throne. Westerlands, the North, the other half of the Vale, and most of the crown lands sided with Jeoff war was hell. Young Griff took the throne, married my only daughter, who was also my heir, had tons of kids and that's how I won the game of thrones in 3 generations.

[@ifeeldead463]

Robert isnt going to magically going to be present in Joffrey's life so he's still raised by maesters and family, primarily Tywin and Tyrion. Joffrey isnt gonna be a nice guy but he isn't a little nutjob or at least, it's more subdued as Tywin and Tyrion arent enablers. He's still cruel but he's smart and tactical now, better at hiding his cruelty.

One thing that was kinda glossed over in this scenario was the Reach. With the Tyrells siding with the Lannisters at the Blackwater and losing, there is no chance in hell they stay Lords Paramount. Especially considering the fact that Stannis already has more than enough reason to dislike Mace for both the siege of Storm's End, as well as declaring for Renly. They are 100% getting stripped of everything, and one of the more prominent houses will get Highgarden. My money's probably on the Florents considering Selyse is one.

He also needs to stay at his father, the king's side to learn how to rule and remain at court to be exposed to the politics of court. He will have access to advisors like the king's hand and other members of the small council that he can learn from. For this what if to work you'd have to have a good reason to send him away from Kingslanding so far North where he could be easily killed by enemies of the crown. Winter fell isn't exactly the Red keep now is it? How secure is Winter fell exactly? Then there's the problem with Cersei.

[@bibijinnie7184]

@@Just_a_Dude80 well, why not? It’s an interesting concept for a video, and character traits have been altered in these videos before to explore other interesting conclusions. While the Jamie we know isn’t above killing innocents himself, we know he felt sympathy for Rhaella while she endured marital rape and became disillusioned in his duties enough to kill his king to save the people, why not create a version where after the mad king is slain, rather than sit the throne he seeks out the people he was sworn to protect who, most importantly, DESERVE protecting as a way to atone for his sins and perhaps maintain a sense of honor and duty within himself?

[@Just_a_Dude80]

@bibijinnie7184 This is not good for the lannisters. After Robert's death, Joffrey wouldn't be the only heir for the throne. And if the bastards were immediately destroyed by the Lannisters, why wouldn't they kill the Targaryen children? Moreover, if Bobby B wanted Danny dead, why wouldn't he send assassins for all the Targaryens, especially in Westeros. They are also in great danger in the mad queen arc. So they're crapped anyway IMHO

[@bibijinnie7184]

@@Just_a_Dude80 perhaps! But in this scenario I don’t think Jamie would be thinking about his house, I think he would embody the knight he looked up to and wanted to be : Arthur Dayne. I believe the most interesting part of this change would be how it changes Jamie. Would a Jamie who risked it all to protect a mother and his children be so eager to throw bran out of a tower? Would Cersei have made a comment about “saving rhaegars whore wife” and thus making him see her differently, perhaps breaking their incestuous bond? What would happen afterwards would be up for debate, this why I’d like to see the video. Besides, keeping Elia around would certainly be interesting, as I doubt even if robert had the children put to the sword that he would condemn her as well. See, barristan Selme, who worked for and obviously has positive feelings about rhaegar is pardoned and keeps his prestigious position, would it be so insane to think he might have elia just shipped back to dorne?

[@pissupmyasshole]

He killed a pregnant cat and cut out the kittens to show Robert who then hit him so hard Cersei thought Robert killed him. So Robert will fuck up Joffrey if he feels the need

[@silentecho92able]

Well technically Joffrey killed a pregnant cat opened up its belly and brought the unborn Kittens to Robert out of curiosity but yeah the same connotation still applies in a way. Knowing how Joffrey grew up under Cersei who fed his delusion and Robert not being there and his secret "True parentage" would lead to a crazed psycho like him.

[@facesofthechimera]

Micah already ran off in the original when Nymeria just bit Joffrey. No way he's sticking around when 2 highborns are dead lol If anything, he'd suffer his canon fate. Or worse. A distraught Cersei would definitely ask for him to be brought in alive, and dude's getting the Ramsay special 😢 Also, Robert believes it here too. Which is why he didnt punish anyone further. It's really Cersei that needs to be convinced, since she was planning to off Robert anyway. And she holds grudges for life.

[@Music-AsLife]

@@facesofthechimera right, I couldn't recall when he bounced, it's been about a decade since watching it or reading it. Even so though, if he can be run down he can be found, and without Joffrey saying this lowborn attacked me there's no reason to run him down. His instinct to run would likely still be the same but he's no Show-Gendry he's just not fast enough to cover enough ground to get away from men on horses.

I would definitely want to see that happen. Those three deserve to live and be with family. Plus if they live and the story roughly stays the same, then Rhaenys and Aegon could bond with Daenerys’s other dragons: Daenerys with Drogon, Rhaenys with Rhaegal and Aegon with Viserion.

[@tuckernutter]

What if Jaehaerys II was just excluded from line of succession from Aegon V

[@ifeeldead463]

I imagine they'd get smuggled back to Dorne once Dany is born. Viserys is less messed up as he lives in a more stable environment and there are adults to do the parenting so he isnt forced to raise his sister but Robert still wants his, Dany, Aegon and Rhaenys' heads on pikes so kid is still paranoid even if the Martells promise to protect him, his sister, niece and nephew. Speaking of Robert, yeah, dude still wants them dead but Jon Arryn talks him out of throwing hands with Dorne, especially since Westeros still recovering from the rebellion. Not sure if Dany still gets her eggs but if they do hatch, I'm agreeing with Alexander that Dany, Rhaenys and Aegon get to be riders while Viserys goes to sulk about not getting an egg or having to wait for the dragons to lay an egg for him.

Marry Daena ? Baelor married Daena a year before Daeron died “Baelor married his younger sister, Princess Daena Targaryen, in 160 AC. He refused to consummate their marriage,however, causing his sister, who usually dressed all in black, to change her clothes to only whites in an attempt to shame him, as she had sworn to wear nothing else until she was properly bedded. The plan did not work, as Baelor liked to see his sister all in white, feeling it made her look more innocent.”

[@faithmoir1637]

he wouldnt have married daena. as another commenter pointed out she was already married to baelor by the time he goes off to dorne. as we see with daeron 2 an instrumental part of any treaty like that would be marriage alliances. he would probably marry a martell (ironically probably myriah since she was the prince of dorne of that period's daughter) or another high ranking dornish woman like a yronwood or a dayne. his two other sisters would probably be married into dorne as well

[@astrinymris9953]

Pausing at 14:02 to say that without Ned's threat to Cersei about telling Robert about her infidelity, she has no incentive to kill Robert. While the strongwine ruse worked in canon, it wasn't without risk. Without an imminent threat to her children, Cersei has no incentive to take that risk. Remember, this is show-Cersei, who legitimately loves her children. Since there's no situation compelling action, I think she'd be caught up in mourning and nurturing her other children. And who knows, shared grief over Joffrey might bring Cersei and Robert together. And the fact that they now need a back-up heir for Tommen might result in Cersei bearing another black-haired baby. She knows Stannis is suspicious, therefore the best way to sow doubt about his probably-upcoming charges is to have an indisputably Baratheon baby. That's the best way to protect Myrcella and Tommen, so that's what show-Cersei does.

[@marcust-kq4cv]

Agree with most of your premise but a black haired child might be the worst thing possible for cersei. It raises way too many questions.

​@@chimachukwu3808 What are you talking about? Sansa and Arya don't hate each other, they just don't get along like normal siblings. I'm gonna assume you're an only child, but siblings bicker all the time, especially if they are close to each other. Being the two daughters, Arya and Sansa would have been put together often, and their opposite personalities would clash, but that doesn't mean they wanted each other to die. I hate when people villainize Sansa for being a girly girl who lives in her fantasies. She's a child, she's a little foolish, but every child is. Even Arya's done stupid shit, that's just being a child. Sansa believes that the idealized stories she's heard of chivalry are true, and it's on her parents for sheltering her so much, but if she saw Joffrey kill her sister, she wouldn't stay on his side. She immediately hated Joffrey after he killed Ned, and she was still pretty upset with him for what happend to Lady. It doesn't matter how much she bickered with Arya, she wouldn't ignore her murder.

Because not only is there another way down south from the Neck, but also, in the canon timeline, Robb and co. were on their way to Riverrun to lift the siege, and they were in a hurry, so they had no choice but to agree to Walder's terms Here? Not only would they not be on their way to Riverrun (because there'd be be no reason since Edmure isn't captured), but also, they;d probably just take the other way since they're not a hurry like they were in canon.

[@VersieKilgannon]

I disagree with you about Robert putting his foot down. We all saw Cersie's reaction when Joffrey simply got bit on the arm. She demanded death for Nymeria- and then Lady in replacement when finding out Nymeria was missing. If Joffrey was DEAD, Cersei would want Sansa dead as repayment- since Arya is also dead in this scenario. And Robert would be the same emotionally battered man he is and demand something drastic of Ned. Their friendship would either inevitably end or Ned would stupidly do whatever Robert tells him to do. Either way, Ned is going back to Winterfell after that. And Robert remains surrounded by lions and isolated from his real allies

I actually dont think the tyrells would work together with the lannisters in this verse. Stannis's army is too big. As a result Renly would likely swear fealty as Renly would have nowhere near enough men to oppose the combined strength of stannis, the north, and the river lands. Seeing how big the force is littlefinger would side with the north and convince Lysa to back the north and stannis. The tyrells would either remain nuetral or even join the northern forces as a way to not piss off stannis as there is already a rivalry there to between them and wants to look good and front of the new king. I could even see a marriage pact being made in order to secure this. Margaery and renly specifically only this time they dont break up and Loras probably joins the kings gaurd to.... Y'know be with renly. Much to Mace's dismay but in the books at least he does have other sons so in the books hes not as disappointed. And in the show. Well mace might be happy giving the seat of high garden away to a nefew or younger brother if it means his line gets to sit on the throne so he'll get over it fast when someone brings that up. Afterall, it is incredibly unlikely stannis and his wife will have anymore kids at this point. Making renly second in line. Could also see a bethrothal between Shireen and a prince from dorne to get them in on it. Although that may not be necessary as Dorne hates the Lannisters regardless so they might just join anyway out if "loyalty to the true king." Basically the lannisters and greyjoys are screwed.

Good stuff. I do wonder about a match between Jaime and Ned. Consider that Ned + 6 others took on 3 kingsguard, who were all apparently better than Selmy, and it is considered that Selmy is still the best in Westeros. Surrounded by personal guards, in the midst of battle, its likely a draw. There is no need to even talk with the Freys.

If Toen was the eldest of the three, I quite doubt Ned even would be mad

[@robind7352]

I must admit,I like some of these "what if version's" of GOT better than what actually happened in the show. Lol

[@nathanielstacy4488]

That would have bean the End of Jophery as Ned would rightfully have exicuted the Lanister spawn where he stould.

[@nathanielstacy4488]

Fallowed Amediatly by his imposter queen mother.

[@user-rs4kg8xz4m]

what if ned never told cersei that he knew?

[@alphapython2475]

What if Jon was right about the witch being a unreliable source? What if daenerys was pregnant at the end of season 8?

[@Xtermenator217]

We need a part 2

[@fearthepiggaming2998]

You know I got a good what if What if Oris baratheon got a dragon

[@AbdullahSediqi23]

She is such a terribly written character with 0 weaknesses. How the hell did she beat Brienne and survive a series of knife wounds in sewer water?

[@singincowboy]

Whoa, you threw away a bunch at the end. Daenerys comes back, and Mel and Selyse see her as a prophesied figure, so Selyse walks into a night fire to make way for Stannis to marry her. Stannis is roasted Quentin style, trying to claim a dragon.

[@nathanielstacy4488]

Jamie Laster Never stands a chance against Ned or Robbert.

[@caboosealmighty3735]

Losing Arya for Joffery being mauled to death, hmmm.

[@7dragons7swords]

Why Robert wasnot close to Tommen and Myrcella?

[@bekkimcgrath]

What if Jon never befriended Samwell

[@The_Custos]

Would Joffrey get the moniker "Girlslayer"?

[@nicolesteege5487]

Ok but cat didn't tell ned not to go she said she needed to go after she got the letter to look into John Arron and you left out his motivation behind that. Bed didn't go to kl and then go oh I'll look into this murder. That was his main reason for going.

[@erinb4237]

What if Daena the Defiant hatched a dragon?

[@JakeOllieB]

What if Joffrey was a good and charismatic person?

[@missica15]

What if Sansa and Arya's places were swapped during the attempted coup and Arya became a political hostage in King's Landing and Sansa ran/was brought to the Night's watch crew?

He already did.

[@byro.]

what if daemon was hand of the king?

[@KittyOfChess]

What if Joffrey was fostered at Dragonstone with Stannis

[@ifeeldead463]

Poor Shireen's gonna get bullied unless Stannis managed to keep those two separated and properly discipline the boy

[@KittyOfChess]

@@ifeeldead463 I feel like he would have turned out to be a better person if he wasn’t raised by Cersei. No child is born evil, they are shaped by what they are taught. Stannis could’ve raised him to be honorable and a decent king.

[@NightAtTheOpera3]

22:39 blooper lol

[@Prilliyo]

Tywain might kill Cersei for starting a war with the north

[@danielgolden8116]

~14:00 your reasoning is flawed here. Cersei only had Robert killed because Ned told her that he’d found out the truth and was going to tell Robert. If that doesn’t happen, Robert doesn’t die on the hunt.

[@TheEmpyreanSpeaks]

You’re wrong. Cersei was already planning to kill Robert before Ned confronted her. Go back to episode 6, Robert was already on the hunt and Lancel was getting him drunk so he could get killed, Cersei’s plan was already in motion before Ned said anything. Not to mention in episode 6 Ned didn’t even know that her kids were bastards yet until the end of the episode, it’s in episode 7 that he actually confronts Cersei and tells her his plan for when Robert comes back but by that point it’s too late and Robert is already done for.

[@danielgolden8116]

@@TheEmpyreanSpeaks Respectfully, I don’t agree. Varys heavily alludes to the fact that Ned’s choice to give Cersei the chance to escape was the immediate cause of Robert’s death. I’m paraphrasing, but I believe the line is something like “The wine slowed him, and the boar ripped him open, but it was your mercy that killed the king.” Even if Varys was wrong or, for some reason, lying, the only reason Cersei had to take the risk of killing Robert was to put Joffrey on the throne before the truth could be exposed.

[@danielgolden8116]

Cersei could certainly have sent word to Lancel to make sure Robert died on the hunt after her conversation with Ned. I’ve always assumed that was what must have happened, given Varys’s dialogue.

[@TheEmpyreanSpeaks]

I see what you’re saying but I still don’t think that lines up. In your earlier statement you say that Robert dies specifically because Ned chose to confront Cersei and what I’m saying is Robert was already in the process of being killed before that conversation. So Ned confronting Cersei has nothing to do with Robert dying. Even though, yes she did move to kill Robert to cover up her secret, this is before she knew that Ned knew about her and Jaime, but she still knew she wouldn’t be safe forever. Her plan was already in motion regardless of what was or wasn’t said. Not to mention Varys is a man with an agenda. So he’s most likely lying to Ned about his involvement with Roberts death because realistically once Robert left and Lancel went with him there was nothing nothing Ned could do affect what happens to Robert.

[@TheEmpyreanSpeaks]

With respect I also fail to see the reasoning behind this. If you go back to episode 6 Robert has a very small hunting party and doesn’t seem to have made a camp in the Kingswood so they’re just marching along. How would Cersei even know where they are to get word to Lancel specifically if they keep moving around with no real base? And if we say word does get to Lancel, he’s always next to Robert and there are two other people there, Barristan Selmy and Renly. On the off chance word does get to him via some raven from Cersei wouldn’t they find it suspicious that it’s for the kings squire and not the king? They’d probably assume the message from the raven was something important if it flew all the way out there and the information couldn’t wait until they got back from the hunt.

[@paragon1172000]

I don't think Daenerys is a factor in this. Unless I missed it Baristan didn't get released. Which means she likely dies from the manticore.

[@virgiljericho664]

Allow me to make the first comment that isn’t a suggestion. Winter would come for House Lannister, House Boratheon, and any sorry son of a bitch in their way. Bring the Martells in, the Lannisters would be fucked 10 ways from sunday

Robert wouldn’t get killed bc the reason why he got killed is bc Ned found out about the incest.
