A baseborn Knight (no last name, can also be a bastard) can marry a highborn and it wouldn't be considered an unworthy match. But the knight won't be given the last name, but perhap the children of the Lady can use her family name.

Baseborns don't marry highborns (unless they wanna run off together), a baseborn being a Knight elevates the status of lowborn, to make them more worthy.

My Theory:

Gendry has been knighted by Ser Beric dondarion and become Ser Gendry of the hollow hill. This allows him to marry Arya, their children will be called Starks, considereing Arya's nature and that Robert never claimed or legalised Gendry (making him a lowborn).

Also:

Jon will marry his cousin Sansa, after finding out littlefingers plot.

LF plot:

- Sansa has a claim to the North and the Riverlands.

- LF wants to marry Sansa to Harry Hardying (heir to the vale)

- LF will than wait for Sansa to get pregnant, then kill Robyn.

- LF will push Harry to claim the North and Riverlands in Sansa's name.

- If Harry doesn't die during the battle for the North, he will kill Harry.

- Sansa will now become Queen of the North and her child will be the new Lord of the Vale.

- Sansa will need a husband, here steps in Littlefinger to become King through sansa.

Enters Jon Snow:

- Jon will come back to life and will work with Harry hardying to claim winterfell.

- after Harry dies either by war or littlefinger after claiming the North, Jon will named as the new King of the North.

- Littlefinger plots will crumble here.

- Sansa will give birth to the heir of the vale. Stark children will realise LF plots, Jon will marry Sansa.

- Jon will carry the name Snow, and Sansa will cary the name Stark. John is a bastard, Sansa has been a Lanister, Hardying (or arryn i suppose), and rumors of joffreys bethrotle. She also has a child by Harry. Both reputations are pretty low. But their children will be called STARK!

- The marriage will give Jon and sansa a claim to the North (stark blood), Vale ( Arryn blood), Riverlands (tully), and Westeros (Targarian blood).

- The only way for Sansa to keep the stark name, is to marry somone with stark blood, hence marrying the King in the North will do this, and keep littlefinger and other backstabbers away.

The main characters (the starks) will triumph but it will be a bittersweet ending:

Harranhall to be the new Royal Capital city/castle

- Kings landing is foreshadowed to be destroyed, hence i believe the new capital will be in centre of westeros,  which just happens to be Harranhall, and conincidently holds the largest castle in westeros.

- Kings landing will be beyond repair after all the fights for the throne is done (wildfire + cersie + drgaons = BOOM!). Harranhall needs somemaintance but its doable.

- Harranhall is too big for one noble house, but if its the capital of westeros, thats a good thing.

- the Isle of faces is next to harranhall, meaning Bran/three-eyed ravan or the children of the forrest can see what happens in Kings landing.

- Sansa's grandma is a Lady When (one of the previous family to hold harranhall)

- the curse of harranhall will stop once its under the protection of Old gods (Isle of faces).

- Riverlands after all the wars will become peacefull as the capital region. this stops the heavy fighting between the realms happening at the riverlands.

- Riverlands will merge with the crownlands because of the new capital.

______________________________________

House Stark will be split

- Royal House Stark of Harranhall (sansa and jon)

- House Stark of Winterfell (Rickon .. ) (or Bran and Meera if possible) (arya and Gendry)

possibility:

House Stark of ??Dragonstone?? (arya and gendry)

also:

House Arryn (Stark + Hardyn heir)

_____________________

Daenarys is always on the hype train so its more likely that Martin will kill her as some hero at some point. she will be reunited with Kahl drogo and rhaego like she saw in her visions.

or:

Daenrys will inherit Dragonstone, her ancestral home.

Edrick storm - will be legalised and given the stormlands. (possible Shireen and Edric marriage)

__________________________

The wall will come down;

- extension of westeros beyond the wall. Probably becomes a dumping grounds for criminals

- Night watch is no more.

Tyrion becomes Lord of House Lanister after he is placed there by the royal family.
