If second cousins don’t count, then why is Robb Stark considered a kinslayer?

He’s not. Only Rickard Karstark calls him that, and GRRM has said in the SoSpakeMartin files that Rickard Karstark was a desperate man in pain, lashing out at everything around him, trying to inflict as much damage as he could.

Previous Post I was wondering about the lack of attention Robert Baratheon receives as a kinslayer. If memory serves, Rhaegar was his second cousin. Was it not mention because he was king, or because he only appeared in the first novel?

Next Post 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?
