Hi, I was just wondering if you think that House Lannister would be in a less precarious position if they had maintained a Rothschild-like sphere of influence rather than attempting to take the throne for themselves. I guess we see, or hear about the Iron Bank of Brother’s influence over Westerosi politics, so do you think if the Lannisters had used their considerable wealth to control whoever was in power instead of attempting to take the power themselves, they would, well, die less?

It’s quite possible, yes. Ironically, Cersei is the only one of them who thinks about creating a Lannister Bank of Casterly Rock, which would be an excellent idea if she hadn’t created total political chaos before she had that idea.
