That is not how it works and you know it! It was the Targareyen's throne because they won it off of someone else. They were conquerors and they themselves got conquered by the Baratheons, well... Robert. The throne is actually now the Baratheon's to hold until they themselves are conquered. Just because a Targareyen once sat on the throne does not mean for the rest of time that throne belongs to them. You ask why Robb didn't bow to the Lannisters whilst arguing that Dany is honor bound for the throne?! REALLY?! Lets see the Lannisters where never well liked ANYWAY, they are being blamed for the fall that his brother suffered, they started destroying the Riverlands the moment that Catelyn took Tyrion, Joffery beheaded Robb's father and is thought to have his two sisters as hostages. Because of course in a world where honor is foremost even for people like the Lannisters bowing to the people that chopped your fathers head off for being a traitor is going to happen. Of course. Why not just crown the Lannisters and get on with it? Anyway if they DID bow to the Lannisters they would have been forced to march against both Baratheons. Plus even if they did sit in Winterfell they'd have the Others coming for them (or have you forgotten that 1. Winter IS coming and 2. Winterfell will be the closest to the wall?) So Robb should have lost all his honor and bowed to the people who killed his father and waited in his castle? Why couldn't Dany have done the same? She was in a even better position, she never knew the family that was killed before she was born, she never knew the people that did it, she wanted a home with a red door? Drogo would have ripped every red door off of the hinges and taken them with them whilst they traveled. Drogo would have done a lot if she had been content with forgetting about people that she didn't know, honor for a family she'd never met and just sat back in her castle with the love of her life and got over herself.Because Dany is a princess, the rightful heir to the throne and Robb is just a Lord that should have known his place! Why should Dany sit in exile after the Baratheons killed her family and stole her birthright? Drogo died because he loved Dany and he'd do anything for her. He knew her rightful place was on the throne as do everyone that follows her! Wrong. Targareyen rule had been ended by the time Dany was born. Dany was NEVER a Princess, her brother told her what she could have been but by the time she was being told all this by her brother the Baratheons were the royal family whether fans of the Targareyen's like it or not! Robb does know his place, his family line were former Kings of the North, when war starts the Starks must raise the banners of the North and lead them into battle, he needs to stand by his and the Stark and the Norths honor and pride. The point is you want Dany to be an underdog. She isn't. I brought Robb into it to show someone that was FORCED to make big decisions, Dany didn't, Dany has made it her path to join this fight to take a throne that at the beginning of the book she didn't want! A path to conquer a country she's never seen! Robb doesn't want to conquer, yes he took the name "King of the North" as was the Stark's title before they gave it up but he went to war for honor and peace, Dany is as bad as the Lannisters and is not an easy character to get behind. You understand why Robb did what he did he's a young lad whose father went to the South with his sisters and never came back! None of them did. Lets face it, it wasn't even just Ned that got killed ALL THEIR PEOPLE were killed!
