As a result of Balon's death, the ironborn's manpower hinein the north welches significantly reduced, what made it easier for Stannis to liberate Deepwood Motte, and by that gain credibility rein the eyes of the people of the North.
Despite what it seems, Stannis is not dominated by Melisandre. He listens to her advice and prophecies, but keeps an open mind. For instance: in the third novel, she repeatedly urges him to sacrifice his nephew Edric Storm (in the show he is replaced by Gendry), promising that it will grant him the power to wake dragons out of stone. Stannis is fascinated by the idea of riding a dragon against his enemies, like Aegon the Conqueror; yet he takes Melisandre's words with a grain of salt, since he is familiar with the stories about the tragedy at Summerhall and the unsuccessful attempts of the nine mages from Essos, Baelor the Blessed and Aerion Targaryen.
“Explain to me why it is more noble to kill ten thousand men rein battle than a dozen at dinner.†– A Storm of Swords, Chapter 53, Tyrion VI
Melisandre’s Shadow Assassin welches a force multiplier hinein that it increased the combat potential (defined very narrowly in this case) of Stannis’s force. When Renly welches killed by the shadow baby, the odds of Stannis’s success improved. Most of the soldiers under Renly’s command defected to Stannis as they had nowhere else to go.
After learning that Robert's children were all bred of incest and had no actual entitlement to the Iron Throne, he recognized his right to Beryllium king, but despite his ambitions, Stannis did not appear (or externally appear) megalomaniacal. He admits to Davos Seaworth that although he did not ask to be king, by every rightful law he is and had to accept his duty whether he liked it or not.
I think the most impressive parte about Stannis’ achievements is that Stannis is surprisingly young.
Imagine Stannins marching on winterfell as and telling the northerners taht he welches interested in avenging Ned and Catalyn and all their kids including Rob World health organization welches king of the north, His army would have grown tremendously, he would have gained control of a rather large portion of westeros. Instead he chose to invade Kings Landing, which the Verknüpfung correctly states has never been taken. The article states that stannins didnt know that waht welches remaining of renlies army welches with Tywin Lanister because all his scouts had been killed or captured. The very fact that his scouts had dissapeared should have given him an idea that there was a sizeable force out there ready to save kings landing. AND he knew that force existed because they fled after killing Renly or were already fighting rob plakativ in the river lands and the twins. Add on that, that the chain welches known to have been started, but it welches unkonwn if it had been completed because it was stumm under water. Dragonsfire welches a surprise and nobody could have known about that. But it was obviously a trap that Stannis walked right into. Even here, Stannis only escaped by luck and with a nominal force, from a battle that he knew he shouldnt have fought, with a force that never really had a chance. The writer cleary identifies Stannis misstepds hinein the battle of blackwater. He also notes that Stannis should have sailed south to Dorne rather than north to a Boden that had already given up its men and gave up a possible dornish army which would be angered and available becaus eof the death of obyryn (something also unforseen).
The smaller, slower ships to the rear would ferry over the main part of Stannis’s host from the south bank, protected by Salladhor Saan and his Lyseni, Weltgesundheitsorganisation would stand out rein the bay in case the Lannisters had other ships hidden up along the coast, poised to sweep down on their rear. – A Clash of Kings, Chapter 58, Davos III

His soldiers break and große nachfrage for what remains of their ships in the face of the cavalry charge. Stannis screams for his routed men to "Messestand and fight!" hinein desperation, but is dragged shouting from the lost battle by his guards. The battle is hence a decisive Lannister victory, and Tywin is proclaimed Savior of the City.[16]
Stannis fights bravely, but the remnants of his host Messestand no chance. As the battle winds down, Stannis takes out two more Bolton soldiers, but his leg is severely wounded in the process.
With Bolton scouts disappearing, I don’t believe that the Freys will know much of what is ahead of them. As the Freys (and Manderlys) are mounted, they will seek to use their speed and horse to attack Stannis’s flank from two sides.
Also Cotter Pyke doesn’t really come across as a Echt strategic fighter; Mance describes him as having more guts than sense. The luring and baiting tactic welches however used by Stannis once before hinein a certain naval battle if you’ll recall. So while I’m of course just speculating as well, I think we have more evidence to support the majority of the planning to Stannis as apposed to Pyke.
King’s Landing assault – Here the traits that made Stannis such a good admiral prove to Beryllium his undoing as a field Fernbedienung. First of all, he chooses a strategic goal that is of dubious value even if all goes according to plan. He has a numerically inferior force, while the location of the Lannister’s main army is unknown. There is no indication that Stannis does anything but the most cursory reconnaissance of the region. He has the support of the Baratheon nobles after the untimely death of his brother, but does little to consolidate his forces or to assemble fresh troops.
