Robert might have been willing to anger Tywin, if it allowed him to humiliate Cersei, send her into exile, and replace her with a beautiful younger woman. Robert is the King, and could have easily found some pretext to send Cersei away. For example he could accuse her of adultery -- even if he didn't know about her and Jaime, a made-up accusation could be enough. | |

King Jaehaerys ended faith's militancy and since then Kings are the protectors and defenders of the Sept. That's essentially what English monarchs are, Heads of the CoE. Plus it's not like it's multinational like Catholicism. It's prevalent only in Westeros, whose monarch is Bobby | |

| Jul 20, 2017 at 14:26 | comment | added | user56reinstatemonica8 | I suppose the first question is: did Renly know who Cersei's children's real father was? If so, if he had a lust-fuelled motive for wanting to ditch Cersei, he'd want to believe this news, and such a disgrace would be a rare opportunity to dislodge the Lannisters and set up Renly's allies the Tyrells as the new power behind the throne. | |
