That’s probably true from a southron political perspective, but from a Northern political perspective, the Stark cousins being of the North and followers of the Old Gods would probably be more important.
Regarding your post …/139299401261/… specifically mentioning the Stark cousins Brandon and Benjen (sons of Artos Stark) when Catelyn mentions Stark relations in the Vale — those relations are closer to the main line, being descended from Rickard (Ned’s father) Stark’s aunt Jocelyn, and might have precedence, though one does run into the whole business of distaff inheritance, on which GRRM blows hot and cold.
