Did Cersei actually love Robert?

Although Robert won his war, he never got her back, and loved her through his marriage to Cersei. Although she loved being Queen, Cersei knew from that moment on that Robert would never love her, and that his heart belonged to Lyanna Stark – the start of yet more bitterness to be held in Cersei’s heart.

Who would Cersei marry if not Robert?

1) Hope that Elia dies in childbirth, so Cersei can marry Rhaegar. 2) Arrange a marriage to Jon Arryn, or strike a deal so Jon recognizes Elbert as his official heir (who would still be alive as he didn’t go with Brandon) and marry Cersei to Elbert. 3) Marry Cersei to Baelor Hightower.

Why did Cersei marry Robert?

Marriage. After the conclusion of Robert’s Rebellion, a marriage was arranged between Cersei and the new king, Robert I Baratheon, in order to seal the new royal house’s alliance with House Lannister. Cersei and Robert were wed in 284 AC. She and Jaime had sex the morning of her wedding.

Did Cersei really have a baby with Robert?

Yes, she did have one legitimate Baratheon child. Back in season 1, Cersei explains to Catelyn Stark that the first time she got pregnant, the child was Robert’s. However, the black-haired baby died of a fever shortly after it was born. After this, all of Cersei’s children were fathered by Jaime.

Did Cersei sleep with Euron?

Since Cersei and Euron didn’t sleep together until after Jaime left King’s Landing, there’s no reason anyone up north would know about the pregnancy. However, Tyrion’s method of appealing to Cersei centered on how she could still save her unborn child while Euron was standing right behind her.

What was the best marriage for Robert and Cersei?

Well another good marriage would have been for Robert to marry Arianne Martell to bring them back into the fold. A more patient and less enraged Robert could have waited ten years and married Rhaenys but that option was taken off the table by Tywin who wanted to make sure Cersei was the best choice to marry the king.

Who is Cersei married to in Game of Thrones?

Cersei could be married off to Edmure Tully which would strengthen the ties between four big families (Lannister-Tully-Arryn-Stark). Under such circumstances Tywin would be in a position to ask Robert to release his son from Kingsguard (who wants a Kingslayer as Kingsguard?) paving the way to him marrying Margaery Tyrell.

What happens if Robert refuses to marry Margaery?

If Robert refused, Tywin could easily make Tyrion as heir and have him marry Margaery. Robert would of course still be king but within a generation or two there would be plenty of blondies around, enough to make him feel a bit threatened. Come to think about it.
