[quote=@gowia] As a note, i may be pushing my place here, surely the baretheons would be in either dire straights or exile??? They were the ones who led the charge against the Targaryians and ended up slaughtering much of the blood line. Even if the Starks were allowed to remain, despite their involvement too, and the lannisters. The baratheons would be heading to the chopping block? Just a thought. [/quote] That's a good point you make. I'm going to say that Daenarys gave mercy to Stannis but took his daughter as her "ward," seeing as how she was more concerned with the man who Usurped the throne, not those who helped him.
