That brings up an interesting question: If Tommen dies, who would be in line to inherit the Iron Throne?
Tommen has not yet produced an heir (that we know of). Joffrey, Myrcella*, and Shireen* are all dead without producing any children. Stannis* and Renly are both dead (* - still alive in the books, AFAIK).
Until/unless Jon is recognized as Rhaegar's true heir, there is no immediately obvious heir through the Targaryen bloodline (Robert's claim to the throne was justified because his grandmother was the Mad King's aunt, and there were no other surviving descendants with a better claim -- except for Dany and Viserys in exile in Essos).
I don't believe there is any mention of any cousins Robert may have had, so any claim to the throne might have to go further up the line than Robert's grandmother. Who knows where you might find the next highest surviving descendant of a Targaryen king (especially since they intermarried so much)?
