legally, and based on the info in that article, it would be Kevan Lannister then (assuming Jaime cant be because of the kingsguard vows). Tyrion is a fugitive, and Cersei is a female and cant be ruler unless Dornish Law is installed as the law of the land. and after Kevan it would be Lancel Lannister [You must be logged in to view images.

I named Jamie because he's not in the Kingsguard. Are you saying those vows stick to him even though Tommen sent him packing? Tywin wanted Jamie to take over Casterly Rock, and that would have taken a move something akin to what Tommen did. Right?

If you can get past the Kingsguard thing, Jamie has the better claim over Kevan. Oldest son (Tywin) vs. younger brother (Kevan).

This is all merely based on Baratheon family tree. As I said when we bantered about this some weeks ago, there should be whole lot of power moves when Tommen bites it.
