All of this kind of makes me wonder why Ned didn't secure the city guard
S1E8 (Paraphrased)
Ned:Well, we need to put Stannis in charge.
LF:Stannis is a bum. How about
you and me blackmail Joffery to be a good little puppet king or we'll put Renly in charge and bump off Stannis.
Ned:What? No, Team Stannis 4 life.
Get the city guard to back me and put in a guy you clearly don't like as king.
LF:I pay them, so they'll listen. We'll do your idea and not backstab you (MWAHAHAHAHAH)
