I ordered Sword Chronicle by Green Ronin, since it uses the same system as the Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire) RPG they did, which I played in the past.  It is tailor built for this kind of thing.

However, I did recently see and became intrigued with Reign by Greg Stolze.  It seems like it does this same sort of thing.  The new 2nd. edition from the Kickstarter is now available on DTRPG.  Does anyone know anything about it? Is it good? Can it do this type of game well? I know very little about it.

not to be that guy, (i use D6 for everything if its not D6 I'm not shilling for it) but have you considered Pendragon at all? I cannot help, am powerless, to NOT steal heavily from Pendragon if there is going to be any knights or chivalry at all, in fact, in the current "come up with a way for us to use our ad&d books within your beloved D6 system please" endeavor, I have stolen Greg Staffords genius trait system as a method of interpreting ad&d alignment, i will attach pic from current character sheet build to illustrate. Pendragon would imho (if you are not such a cool guy that you would use D6 as its clearly the best system ever devised for anything ever and might in fact cure aids if taken rectally) do game of thrones or even robin hood if you wanted. The 4th edition has magic rules if needed and they are what a greyhawk player would probably call low magic.

Anyway I had to dump one trait to get the numbers right, chose chaste/lustful because i figure that could fit under a couple of the others like prudent/reckless. But this is a devious way to track and enforce alignment on greedy little gnomish bastards I reckon.

I know its not on your list in OP, but consider Pendragon, it's got plenty to steal from, as does Dark Albion, if you are going for that medieval politic aesthetic, as a much of the research and adaptation is already done for you when they put those works together in the first place. I would also steal heavily from rules cyclopedia or acks for domain management, maybe birthright as well.

Gold-book BRP.

What about actual Song of Ice and Fire RPG - now renamed Sword Chronicle: Feudal Fantasy Roleplaying, powered by the Chronicle System.

I never played Reign itself, but I did run some games using One Roll Engine. It's an interesting system that you have to play first to really 'get it'. If your players are all willing to invest time into learning the system it's good, but I found with a split of player types, from those who want to know the system well before they use it to those who don't want to spend too much time learning it, it's not a great fit.

I'm also not sure how great the domain rules are. It got a lot of attention simply for having them, but I'm not sure if people were happy because the rules were good or just because they existed.

I ordered it and have it in-hand now.  It is the way I'm going to go with the concept.
