Hi Steven! I wanted to ask something about Edric Storm what do you think Stannis had planned for him if he had won the Battle of Blackwater? Would he have legitimized Edric to shore up support or make him his heir since Renly died?

I think not. I think Catelyn was right, that Stannis wanted to parade Edric in front of the lords of the realm to show that Robert’s children looked like Robert and Cersei’s children don’t. 

As King, I don’t know what Stannis would do about the landholding question. Robert choosing to divide up King’s Landing, Dragonstone, and Storm’s End among the brothers was a particular idiosyncratic decision, and Stannis might well be more the type to hang onto them himself, or parcel them out to his children.
