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

6. Sansa Stark

There'd be a great sense of justice if a Stark were to seat themselves upon the Throne. Their family has been torn apart for fighting corruption, and they deserved so much more than that. Bran isn't the only hope for a Stark on the throne, with Sansa beginning to play a huge part in Northern proceedings. She's had a miserable time so far, being passed from one psychopath to another, though the end of Season 5 saw Theon/Reek's road to redemption underway as Sansa and the shamed Greyjoy leapt from Winterfell in a bid to escape the Boltons. She's now looking a good bet to land in Brienne's service, and from there, she can reconnect with The Knights of the Vale and start to exert a bit of authority. She's quickly becoming a great character to watch and could have a major role to play as the Heiress to the North in the eyes of many. The Iron Throne wouldn't seem like an enormous reach if she gets to that stage.
