Just some random notes to Tancred's admirable effort:
The Reach: Tyrells, Highgarden
The Stormlands: Baraethon, Storm's End
Jon Arryn: Lysa Arryn, aided by Littlefinger
Robb Stark: Roose Bolton, though who shot the actual quarrels?
Joffery Lannister: <s> The Tyrells, or possibly even Cercei Lannister (not sure exactly who) </s> -- No, wrong, Tyrion admitted it to Jaime, he did it.
[Edit: Didn't Petyr Baelish try to take credit for some of the happenings at Joff's wedding? I know he claimed credit for the dwarf knights. Also, when Sansa asked why he'd want to kill Joff, he said: "I had no motive. Always keep your foes confused. Sometimes the best way to baffle them is to make moves that have no purpose…Remember that when you come to play the game of thrones." ] So, it looks like 2 people may be taking credit.
Technically who is the rightful king of the realm?
Dany, a trueborn Targaryen. Jon if he had been recognized. The Baraethon rule is contested until all Targaryen's are dead if I understand their culture right.
If we look to the Baraethon line instead, either Stannis or Robert's heir, I admit I don't know which would take precedent. Regarding Robert's heir, Gendry is not a recognized heir, so Robert's bastard that Stannis took from Storm's End, Edric Storm, would be it.
#9: I'll go out on a limb and say they were all Kingsguard.
We do not sow: Greyjoy
Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken: House Martell.
_____________________________________
Sunspear is located on a peninsula of land just south of the Broken Arm.
A thousand years ago, Dorne was filled with petty, warring lords. When the warrior queen of the Rhoynar of the eastern continent, Nymeria, came with her people to Westeros, she took one of the strongest of the Dornish lords as husband. Lord Mors Martell, with the aid of Nymeria and the Rhoynar, conquered the rest of Dorne. Following the custom of the Rhoynar, the Martells now call themselves Princes. Dorne was the only kingdom in Westeros to be ruled independently from the Targaryens, and did so for 150 years.
After repeated attempts at conquest failed, King Daeron II brought Dorne into the fold by peaceable means, marrying the Prince of Sunspear's sister and giving his own sister to be the wife of the Prince. Their motto is, "Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken."
The current lord of the house is Prince Doran Martell, whose sister Princess Elia was killed in the Sack of King's Landing and whose uncle Prince Lewyn of the Kingsguard died fighting at the Trident. He has one brother, the notorious and infamous Prince Oberyn Martell, who is called the Red Viper after an incident in his youth when another young man died after duelling against him for the hand of a woman, sparking accusations of the use of a poisoned blade. Wed to the Princess Mellario of the Free City of Norvos, Prince Doran has three children: Princess Arianne is his eldest child and his heir. Before Prince Doran, his mother was Princess of Dorne. She was a close friend to Lady Joanna Lannister, and indeed had tried to marry one of her children to one of Lord Tywin's twins. He rebuffed her, and always seemed to hold Princess Elia's marriage to Rhaegar Targaryen as an insult.
Spoilers:
The Martells have made alliance with the Lannisters in return for the betrothal of Prince Trystane to Princess Myrcella, a seat on the small council, some castles on the marches, and the head of Ser Gregor Clegane who raped and killed their sister Princess Elia. Prince Oberyn came to claim the seat and press for Ser Gregor's head. When it was clear that Lord Tywin meant to forego that promise, Prince Oberyn convinced Tyrion Lannister -- then being tried for the murder of King Joffrey -- to make him his champion.
The Red Viper very nearly won but despite the terrible wounds and the poison introduced with them on Ser Gregor's body, the Mountain was able to kill the prince. Ser Gregor lies on the brink of death from the effects of the poison.

#7 -- The Flaming Green Chain Heraldry: Ser Bronn of Blackwater
Bronn is a scoundrel and sellsword whose saving grace is his great skill with the sword. At first being party to the capture of Tyrion Lannister by Lady Catelyn Stark, at the Eyrie Bronn took Tyrion's part in a trial by combat. Killing Ser Vardis Egen, Lady Lysa's champion and the captain of the Arryn guard, Bronn and Tyrion were sent alone through the mountain road. They survived that however, and won allies from the mountain clans.
Following Tyrion Lannister to King's Landing, Bronn helped collect an army of sellswords for the Hand. After the battle of the Blackwater, he and six hundred others were knighted for the aid they provided in the battle. When Tyrion Lannister was tried for the murder of King Joffrey, Ser Bronn was bribed away from standing as his champion by Cersei Lannister who gave him Lollys Stokeworth as a bride. He clearly has intentions of making sure that she inherits Stokeworth, despite her mother and her elder sister.
