Poll: "Game of Thrones" — Did Westeros Pick the Wrong Ruler?
Part of the appeal of the original "Game of Thrones" series and its successor series, "House of the Dragon" is which competing character will rise to the top and assume the Iron Throne. So much so, every GoT or HotD fan has formed a decided opinion on the optimal combination of qualities, including a strong claim, that make the best ruler. Likewise, fans have strong opinions of how each aspiring ruler candidate measures up to those standards. In the original "Game of Thrones" series, Tywin Lannister, a Hand to three Kings offers some insights into what makes a good ruler to Tommen. Tywin cites wisdom, temperament, strength, dedication, intellect, justness, holiness and piousness among the traits that make rulers great. He highlights a willingness to heed counsel as being the most important trait. Further, he stressed the importance of birthright and the duty of each family member to advance the position of their House.
