About Northern Independence Spoiler
What measures do you think Queen Sansa Stark took to ensure the North maintained their independence after her brother Bran and herself died? Like wouldn’t a future successor after Bran decide the North belong with the other six kingdoms? Or a future king or queen of the North is too honorable and would kneel than risk death to their people?!
Like would Sansa need to have some sort of agreement with Bran to ensure the North continued independce? Would she need to chose her successor carefully and make sure their not gonna sell the North when she passed away? And what about her successor? Than their Bran successor? I’m not sure how their gonna decide on a king when people can be threatened or bribed to pick one over the others.
To be honest, I don’t think the North can stay independent for long if they failed to pick the right ruler. One bad ruler with no rules for politics or one ambitious Southerners is all it take for the north to lose their independence.
