    Vlad impaled rebels and Turkish soldiers (murderers, rapists and slavers putting Wildlings, Dothraki or Bay of Slavers polities to shame) - both valid targets. Not random tax paying peasants. He was no Ramsay or Khmer Rouge.

    I do not think so. Vlad Dragonling (that's what Dracula means) was no communist or crazy murdering people at will. IMO he'd run rings around the Westerosi opposition and end up as Roose the Great, King in Da Norff.

    Both Vlad and Matthias were experienced, skilled rulers and campaigners. In either case they'd be improvements on the locals and not particularly more cruel.

    A canal linking the basin of the upper Mander and the middle Blackwater should be possible. Requires either money for pond locks, or the SI getting the locals to master the technology and use it. In OTL these took decades - if not centuries - to spread.

    Which Brandon Stark? Son of Rickard was a 1st Class jerk act, as dumb and "me want me take" and penis driven like e.g Big Bobby or Jaime. Son of Eddard - too young to show nefarious tendencies yet?

    Exactly. For Rickard Elia does not even register. She might for Jon, as a bride for Elbert. Rhaegar kidnapping and raping Lyanna is not dependent upon the Harrenhall tournament. It are the voices in his head, you see ... Ned has fuck all to say about his bride - he marries who Rickard tell him...

    Not happening. 1 - STAB still forms as those four Houses want "into Space" i.e. to share some of the power hogged by Tywin and/or "lager up" to protect themselves from the crazy on the throne. So the Stark-Tully match as canon ensues; 2 - at the extreme ends of Westeros the two Houses are...

    Wrote my answer before reading this: I agree. The power behind the throne, Tywin, forces Rhaegar to marry Cersei. The crazy rapist New Edition does some prophesy related girl kidnapping and non-con stupid shit and Westeros explodes.

    The only legitimizeable specimen is Edric. Son of a Highborn Lady, related to half the Reach, raised by Renly in Storms End. A ready made Lord. Mya is a girl, daughter of a commoner in the Vale. Even if raised as minor nobility she is not Lord Paramount material. Gendry? GENDRY? LOL! He's an...

    Jon offers hand of Best Sis Arya in marriage to Best Bro Ramsey. The two "click" and become known as Da Red Fangs of da Norff.

    Yup. Armies move at 25km a day. Cavalry armies - unless these are Mongols - which means spare horses for everybody and NO carts - also move at 25km a day. It is the wagon train which dictates speed. Cavalry raids move faster, though. Travel speeds in canon ASOIAF are la-la coocoo-cloud-land...
