    Well, there are two factors that leave Stannis without a formal Kingsguard.
    The first being that there are not enough great knights in his service and those from the houses of the Narrow Sea and the Florents don’t deserve the white cloak.
    The second being that, like Renly leaving a spot for Selmy, Stannis wants to leave the opportunity for when he takes the throne and the he will have knights of actual standing pledged to him. Though Stannis probably wouldn’t trust them and rightly so.
    I think Stannis would have named Davos his only Kingsguard if he thought it was an option.

      The vast majority of Westeros follows the Seven, and the faith has become much more powerful thanks to Cersei's actions. And unlike Maegor, Stannis doesn't have a dragon to just one-hit-no-scope them all while they're in a sept.

      @@nealfirstofhisname You make a good point in that the Faith is almost the strongest it's ever been since the Conquest, but we have seen that Stannis has no tolerance for the Seven against the Lord of Light (i.e., burning all of the statues in ACoK). Yes, he lets some of his men keep the faith. But this is only because 1.) he wouldn't have an army if he only had R'hllor followers and 2.) he doesn't care about religion himself nor what religion his men follow. I don't think Stannis ever does get the Iron Throne, but if he did he would fully support the Lord of Light and it would create a huge conflict with the Seven. The Battle of the Blackwater only gave credence to the Lord of Light after Melisandre's absence is seen as a giant contributor to the outcome in Stannis's eyes. An interesting development that I'm afraid we'll never see either way.

    When stannis beats the Frey’s at the battle of ice (which I believe will happen) stannis will have about 10K men with his combined forces of southerners and northmen, and that’s against the realm and only if he gets Rickon back, Tywin is dead so he just has to worry about Randal Tarly but he’s pretty formidable as a commander, stannis could win if he frees the river lands in the name of Rickon but with 10K men it’ll be a little hard/impossible to win

    • @BobPantsSpongeSquare97
      @BobPantsSpongeSquare97 2 ปีที่แล้ว +59

      Im pretty intrigued too because by the time Stannis defeats the Freys and Boltons, Faegon will have already been marching on Kingslanding and the Tyrell army led by Randal Tarly will be heading his way. So Stannis having around 10,000 men and marching south would be an upset and he could potentially gain allies in the Riverlands and Vale. I don't think he is an endgame character so I wonder how he dies. A sad ending for him I could imagine is that before he has a chance to march south, something big happens with the north.
      Maybe the Others finally cross the wall and Stannis is essentially the first King to meet them in battle and dies in the process and Jon takes up his mantle to gather everyone to fight them. I prefer this ending because Stannis goes out as being the King who saw the bigger threat to humanity and unfortunately is the first to die

There's still about 100 000 wildlings alive, and while only a portion are men capable of fighting, they are the most experienced group for winter warfare in all of Westeros. And Stannis might be building an alliance with the ironborn at the moment.

      @@BobPantsSpongeSquare97 Yeah with winter fully coming down on the North, I just don't see Stannis making it out. It doesn't matter what he promises them, most Northern Lords won't be willing to march South with Stannis in the snows of winter, especially knowing that 100,000 wildlings have been let through the Wall. The harder the terrain, the more the wildlings have the advantage. To leave their lands almost undefended on top of that would be too much.
      Stannis' only chance would be to use the Manderlys new fleet to sail south. And by the time he got there, most southern lords would have pledged to Faegon since Cersei has alienated every major ally, and they need help from someone to face Euron. And if Dragonstone really has been taken, he won't have a base of operations. Stannis really has nowhere to go after Winterfell. It's possible he'd still try to go, since he stands to be far more effective in the fight against the Others if he is king and can march the full might of Westeros to the North. And he needs to regain access to his obsidian mines on Dragonstone.
      I get the feeling Stannis' final battles will be against the Vale. Littlefinger intends to create a triple claim to the Vale, the North and the Riverlands through Sansa's marriage to Harry the heir, and if Rickon comes under Stannis' protection, that will be an inconvenience. Baelish will claim that this isn't truly Rickon, since it's believed Theon killed Bran and Rickon. And it fits thematically for Baelish to be the one to finish off Stannis, similar to how he was crucial to the downfall of Ned Stark. Baelish and Ned represented the best and words sides of the human race, showing how human greed destroys the good humanity could do. Stannis is similar. Yes he's far darker than Ned but ultimately he is still a very righteous character who stands to be one of the biggest assets to humanity's survival. Baelish killing Stannis would be on theme for human greed being self sabotaging. And it's also on theme for the political mastermind to destroy the military genius.
      I think as Stannis sails South, Baelish's forces will kill him and he'll try to absorb most of Stannis' army, then use the combined forces to try and take over the Riverlands. Although it's possible Baelish would want Stannis to make it back to the south in order to ensure more chaos to weaken all sides. So he might actually make an alliance with him to help retake Dragonstone, but also to have men close enough to Stannis to kill him when it's convenient.

      Well that's great for Stannis then, seeing as Melisandre is all on that "Stannis is the chosen one" kool aid, granted, given the clues that she'll sacrifice Shireen for Stannis to win and later revive Jon Snow (This would include clues in story, and the fact that GRRM straight up told D&D that 3 plot points in the books will be that Shireen is sacrificed and currently Shireen is with Melisandre far away fro Stannis's protection, and Jon Snow kills Daenerys meaning Jon Snow will have to be brought back to life), that might cause some problems if she realizes "Oh, actually the chosen one is Jon Snow" and then puts together that Stannis, the not so chosen one, is gonna be pissed once he figures out what she's done to his daughter, but Jon Snow is in good terms with Stannis so that would HOPEFULLY keep Melisandre from doing anything to harm the Mannis

  • @wafflingmean4477
    @wafflingmean4477 2 ปีที่แล้ว +36

    I think there's two main reasons he hasn't appointed any Kingsguards. Firstly, it's a major reward he can dangle in front of his followers, encouraging loyalty. And he has a decent enough excuse to not have any appointed yet since he doesn't hold the Iron Throne. He can hold out that carrot almost indefinitely.
    Secondly, I suspect Stannis does not actually want to make any of his current close supporters Kingsguard. He knows full well how much of a joke the Kingsguard of today is compared to what came before. I expect he would want to restore the prestige they had in the past, only having men who respect the rules of law and honour, and having all of them on a skill level on par with Jaime Lannister and Loras Tyrell at the worst.
    An additional minor reason would be that while he may have a couple of candidates he deems suitable for his Kingsguard (although maybe not skilled enough), those same candidates could serve better in other areas, such as powerful lords or members of his small council.

    Stannis is a general, a commander, a soldier. I always thought he considered all his men (most likely his men from dragon stone that did not stay behind in the garrison) as his guard. Furthermore I think he felt it a formality (considering his soldiers were his guard in his mind in my opinion), and something only to be done once he sat on the throne itself.

    I've actually been writing a fanfic for the past year or so - a modern meets medieval asoiaf fic where a strange portal opens up between Westeros and the modern world. Not to spoil everything but Stannis basically wins the equivalent of the Battle of Blackwater and several chapters focus around choosing a new Kingsguard. Events unfold differently and he ends up retaining Barristan Selmy and Mandon Moore from Robert's Seven. New kingsguard include Godry Farring and Richard Horpe (mentioned here). After that he chooses several individuals from around the kingdoms for various reasons, including Damon Paege (from the Riverlands), Donnel Locke (from the North) and Tallad the Tall (a hedge knight).

    Stannis already has king's guard except they were usurped by bastards born of incest.
    Just like the iron throne Tommen sits on the king's guard that protects Tommen is also rightfully Stannis' so I'm sure he plans to deal with the king's guard when he takes the throne. Perhaps kill and replace some and perhaps keep any that are honorably captured like when Robert spared Selmy and kept him as the head of the king's guard.
    Also, appointing king's guard before you have secured your kingdom may be the kind of pretentious display Renly would pull but Stannis would see as an indulgence.

    7 kingdoms, 7 gods, 7 kingsguards... but Stannis believes in (or at least pays lip service to) only one god, and will not recognise sovereignty of kingdoms within his one realm, so he only gets one kingsguard, only one person who's been a loyal and trusted defender of his person and his cause from the start, and that's Davos.

      And honestly Robert's method was pretty stupid since he tended to pick incompetent people for his Kingsguard. Arys Oakheart and Mandon Moore are the two people he picked who were worthy to be one, the rest are clowns especially Blount.

  • @davidlewis5312
    @davidlewis5312 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Theatrics is half a cause. Winning people to your side is often about symbolism, charisma, and pagentry. Keeping them is about wisdom, strength, and stability. This is ultimately Stannis's greatest problem (and weakness). His cause is cloaked in the Symbolism of the Red Faith which many Westeros don't trust and in the North, he had to swear to several lords not to allow his Red Faith followers to fuck with their godswoods. Stannis, by his own admission, does not have the charisma of his brother Robert who could beat a rival in the morning and win their support at the dining table in the evening (something Robert did repeatedly in his quest for the Throne and Aegon the Conquerer earlier on). And Stannis's hatred for pagentry makes him hard for him to ride into a town and win the support of the people. Though I would argue that as long Stannis can keep control of his Red Faith waazos, he should be able to deliver on the Keeping them skills. Stannis's use of the Red Faith and Mel's powers is ultimately a double edged sword. It turned the most Westeros, most legitimate, most honorable claimant of the Iron Throne into something of a (in the eyes of the people and potential allies) a fiery crusdaer of an alien faith.

      Stannis may not share the hatred Robert has for the Targeryens but he still would not allow a Targaryen to sit on the throne.
      To Stannis, none of it was personal. Only business. And being a King for him is business and it was his by law. A law that extends itself to Aegon and Dany who legitimately "lost" their claim after Robert Usurped them from the Throne and Westeros. Under the Baratheon's rule and by law, the Targaryens under Dany and Aegon are foreign invaders.
      Stannis's view in duty is absolute as shown when he was quick to call Robb Stark a rebel and a traitor for calling himself King despite the Boy's father, Ned Stark, telling Stannis of the Cersei's bastards and naming Stannis as the Heir. And how he respected Jaime enough to call him 'Ser' and a knight despite his obvious disdain for the man for both incest and kingslaying
      He'd accept and rewards turncloaks, criminals, and mercenaries to his ranks but only for a price, as shown when Davos, a criminal smuggler, paid with his finger joints but in turn rewards him with a knighthood.
      Robert was pure steel. Able to bend around rules so people would love him whilst able to be hard on his enemies thus making them fear him.
      Stannis is pure iron or raw steel. Hard. Cold. Immovable. That is his character. His death in the show (though entirely terrible) represents his character in its entirety. Dutiful to the end even in the face of death.

      @edwinsoto6932 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      There is a decent argument that Stannis (and Robert before him) has a stronger claim to the throne than Dany as a male Targaryen descendant. The royal prioritization of male heirs over female heirs is such that when Baelor died, his uncle Viserys II became king over the late king's daughters, apparently without a Great Council, based merely on precedent. That succession thus became further precedent, and the implications for the present is that Stannis probably has a stronger legal claim to the throne than Dany.
      And then there's the question of Aegon's legitimacy. If he is legitimate, while he may have a stronger claim to the Targaryen dynasty, Stannis's explicit claim is to the Baratheon dynasty (thus why he didn't declare Dany rightful queen of Westeros), so it doesn't mean much - they have dueling parallel claims that don't acknowledge the other's existence. And Stannis doesn't seem likely to abandon his duty just because he is treated with respect.
      However, if Aegon is actually a Blackfyre, then Stannis's claim to the Targaryen throne is stronger than either of theirs, anyway. If so, the idea Stannis would allow someone with a weaker claim to the throne to be king, well, look at Renly...
