As far as the sensibility of Renly’s rebellion goes, might it not make more sense to view it as essentially a Tyrell operation, with Renly as mostly a figurehead? For the Tyrells, it *does* make sense – they dislike both Stannis and the Lannisters, and for good reason. Renly is the only option that gives *them* power.

But they would have had power if Renly had waited – unless Stannis has a son, Renly’s the heir apparent and future King, and Margaery would be his future Queen.
