Cripples, Bastards and Broken things


Neds body double

Recommended Posts

I noticed this on my second read of the series that Tyrion mentions that he has a fondness for Cripples, Bastards and Broken things. I dont have the exact quote to hand but it sounded something like that.



I don't know if this has been brought up before but I noticed some similarities between the Lannister children and this 'saying;



Jamie is now crippled due to the dismemberment or his hand, which is the first of the three, and the most obvious I think.



Tyrion also said that all dwarfs are bastards in their fathers eyes. Also, Tywin claimed that Tyrion would never get his hands on Casterly Rock. This is the second of the three.



The final one is Cersei, A Broken thing. Over the course of a Feast for Crows, she gains the power that she craves but she cant handle it and she goes a bit loopy, tearing down the Tower of the Hand, bedding Taena and restoring the Faith Militant, leading to her own downfall. Either way, she is the third of the three that Tyrion mentions.



Like I said, I dont know if this has been mentioned before, and I doubt that it will something that is brought up in WoW but who knows. Let me know if you disagree with me.

I'd take it a different direction.

He clearly doesn't like or "have a fondness" for Cersei, so she's not one of them.

If you look at who and what he does have fondness for though...

Jon - bastard

Bran - cripple/broken

Jaime - broken/cripple/(bastard?)

Whores - generally bastards

Sellswords - generally bastards

A crippled or broken dragon after the battle of fire?
