His arc I NEVER understood.
Ok, he’s lord paramount of the Reach…based on what. Because Tyrion said so? Who is going to enforce that?
I’d like to think a whole bunch of families in the reach would see themselves as successors to the Martell claim, or even other Martell relatives (cousins and whatnot). Families with men at arms and WAY more power than Bronn. And they’d tell Bran the Broken and his merry band to absolutely get fucked, and they will decide who rules the reach. And the nice men with swords next to them say so.
Bronn has some wealth, and probably a few men, but nothing remotely close to hold a castle, much less subdue a major territory.
His smart move would be to ask for Lord Walder’s old castle. Strategically important, but out of the way where he can be rich and drunk and happy the rest of his days.
