hi maester steven, i just stated reading your amazing CBC analysis, and in catelyn I of AGOT you said that “Ned Stark might well have become Arryn’s heir had Jon chosen the son of his heart rather than his nephew by blood” because ned was the second son and robert already an heir. Is that something that could actually happen? That a lord names as his heir someone who has no blood ties to the seat, over someone that is family?

It could but it probably wouldn’t, I was wrong about that.
