Because why not embrace consistency?
After all, the North and Westerlands and the Vale were named Wardens – as were the Lords Paramount of the Reach – so why not have them be Lords Paramount too?
Lord Paramount seems to be a term used exclusively for Great Houses which had not previously ruled as kings before the Conquest (ex: Lord Paramount of the Mander/Reach/Stormlands/Trident); there is no reference to a Lord Paramount of the Vale/Westerlands/North, for example, anywhere in the series. Yet it seems to be common in meta and essays to reference the Great House as Lord Paramount even without this direct evidence. Thoughts?
