Robert's "3 kids" are dead, and his two brothers are dead. We know he has a bastard in Gentry, but I dont think that would make him a candidate. Jon is the Mad King's grandson, but no one knows that outside of Bran right now (per show). Im guessing no one? Too bad this last season didnt happen in like season 3 or 4. Would have been great to see an empty Iron Throne with no heirs, then it would truly be a GoT.
by the rules of westros... im not sure who should be on the throne... Any of Roberts bastards have a better claim than ceresi I would think.. As throne doesn't pass from son to mother. But there are only maybe 3 bastards left after Ceresi had them hunted down and 1 was never introduced into the show. Edric Storm (conceived by Robert during stannis wedding in stannis's wedding bed) Gentry Not sure about his mother. And Miya Stone (although being a girl in the current westros wont help her claim)
But at this point its hard to think any houses are backing the lannisters anymore after ceresi's actions... plenty will say they do to avoid that wraith but when it comes time to call to arms I think they don't show for the MAD Queen. And Jamie killed the mad king for thinking about burning down the city.. what will he do to Ceresi knowning she cost him his last child. or will it be tryion to finish her off. or arya....
either way by then end of this show only maybe 1 or 2 of the original great houses will still be standing. the Barathons are gone unless someone legitimizes a bastard (arya vouching for Gentry???) to reestablish the house (its been done before) The Targs are gone unless jon takes that name there will be no more targ babys. (or some of the left overs from the dragon wars bastards who fought for the throne) Lannisters are down to Jaime and Ceresi and maybe some lesser known cousins roaming around. Tyrells just about got wiped out. Martells only the sandsnakes remain. Starks.. Still hanging around... the Greyjoys are about to wipe themselves out. the Tullys are all but gone. but demure does have a baby on the way.
out of that maybe the starks make it out but only if jon takes the stark name or sansa has her husband take the stark name..(im sure someone will do that)
the smaller houses are licking their chops for power grabs I have to imagine. of course it will be a moot point soon.
