GRRM’s talked about this with reference to Robert, basically saying that it was Robert’s choice as to whether he kept the Stormlands or gave it to either of his brothers.
Suppose that Stannis wins Blackwater Bay, the Tyrells acknowledge him and Robb stark kneels to return North and fight the Ironborn. Who would rule the Stormlands in this scenario (can Stannis directly rule the Stormlands as King)? Would Shireen be Stannis’ acknowledged heiress if he doesn’t have a son or would her position be precarious? Would Stannis face pressure to put aside Selyse if she doesn’t bear him a son soon and who would be a good match for Shireen?
