Game Of Thrones: 10 Characters Who Could End Up On The Iron Throne

Oh, Robert. What have you done? If Robert hadn't sought vengeance against the Targaryens and poached their crown, think of the countless lives that could've been spared. Of course, the Targaryens went down a similar path hundreds of years earlier, but Robert's 'Usurper' tag stuck and since he came to power and the Lannisters have whipped up a real mess, with members of every house in the Seven Kingdoms throwing their weight around at one point of another. There's chaos across the world, and since Robert's probably still drunk corpse was laid to rest, several contenders for the Iron Throne have grown and wilted. Renly Baratheon, Robb Stark, and Stannis Baratheon are just a collection of hopefuls who met their downfalls. However, even with a lack of obvious candidates - barring one standout favourite for the role - speculation continues to grow around who will sit upon the Iron Throne in the end? The odds of Tommen surviving until the Grand Finale probably rank around the same as Hodor becoming a Maester or Ramsay starting up a charity cake sale. Here are 10 of the top contenders for the world's most uncomfortable chair, and how they could perch themselves on top of it.
