hello regina!! do you think it would be possible/there would be a possibility of sansa become the regent of the vale of arryn? the fact of the arryn being regent only by women is just so chefs kiss to me *smiles*
Ciao nonny!
Well first of all… isn’t she already? She’s the de facto Lady of the Eyrie, or as we say facenti veci for Robert since his mother has died (*cough cough* has been assassinated once she wasn’t useful anymore *cough cough*). She wears the Lady’s clothes and jewels, she organises the keep and the journey and as well as the tourney for the naming of the knights of Robert’s guard (her own idea if we have to believe what little we have seen of Winds). All things a regent would do, LF is too busy plotting and Sansa is seizing that blank of power and doing what she knows how to do best, breed loyalty and rule.
Remember who her mother is. Sansa has learnt how to manage a keep. She knows how to rule in the stead of those who can’t and has seen her father doing his job as Hand for however briefly; she has seen what corrupted power looks like and she always remembers that loves is the surer route to loyalty. Of course regency is in her cards; why in the show she was regent of the North whilst Jon was away.
She’s striking up a friendship with Myranda (and through her she will have the Royces, and the Lords Declarant of the Vale) just like Ned did with the valemen, and whilst Littlefinger plays his games (possibly poisoning sweetrobin) Sansa is playing her game too.
Hypothetically… LF is ready to marry Sansa off to Harry the Heir (and maybe ensure the actually becomes the lord of the Vale meanwhile) and then Harry the Heir will move with the knights of the Vale to help her claim back Winterfell, someone must remain behind to rule over the Eyrie.
The natural conclusion would be Sansa, as regent either to an ill sweetrobin or as lady in her own right.
I don’t think sweetrobin will die, mostly because I think LF will not expect Sansa to be smart enough to save him, but somehow she will manage it and learn to slowly outplay LF.
Yet, yes nonny, I think that a possible “full and legal” regency for Sansa over the Vale is completely in the cards.
Also yes. We love the strong, powerful ladies of the Vale! All of them, queen Sharra and lady Jeyne… Rhea Royce too, who ruled Runestone in her own right and when she died (or was killed… still debating) instead of going to her husband all her lands went to her kin, as it should — good job lady Jeyne. Myranda and Mya as well.
The Vale has offered her some strong women. And I totally dig it.
