Maester Steven, might I please ask if you think it likely that, upon first reaching the capital after The Battle of the Trident, King Robert (or his Brain Trust, specifically Lord Jon Arryn) would either arrange or ‘Arrange’ for the High Septon to invite this new Lord of the Seven Kingdoms to enter into Kings Landing and receive his coronation?

Not likely. That sets a symbolic precedent that it’s the High Septon’s prerogative to decide whether a King can enter the capitol and be crowned. Prior to the High Sparrow, though, the relationship is different – the King names the High Septon because the King’s the one on the Iron Throne.
