Cersei is Tyrion's Mother


A Highborn Maid

Recommended Posts

The wiki has some notable errors. This is one of them. Tyrion was an infant when Oberyn and Elia visited Casterly Rock, and Cersei was nine at the time.

Yeah, it is a known issue with the people who contribute to the wiki. There is a link to Tyrion's age calculation in the references:

Birth

It is known that Tyrion had turned 23 by 298AC[76], showing that Tyrion 23 or older in 298AC:

  • 22 turning 23 in 298AC, which places his birth in 275AC

This shows that Tyrion cannot have been born after 275AC. However, it is possible that Tyrion was born before 275AC, as that would make him older than 23 in 298AC.

In 300AC, Tyrion tells he was 10 years old in 283AC,[77] given the following options:

  • 9 turning 10 in 283AC, placing his birth in 273AC

10 turning 11 in 283AC, placing his birth in 272AC

No further specifications can be given. Tyrion was thus born in either 272AC or 273AC.

Note: Oberyn Martell gives several accounts of having met Tyrion Lannister shortly after Tyrions birth. He states that Jaime and Cersei Lannister were “8 or 9 years old”,[78] but with Tyrions two options of 272AC and 273AC, combined with the birth of Jaime and Cersei in 266AC, it can be seen that in truth, Cersei and Jaime would have been either 5 years old (5 turning 6 in 272AC), 6 years old (5 turning 6 in 272AC or 6 turning 7 in 273AC) or 7 years old (6 turning 7 in 273AC). This shows that Oberyn’s account is rather untrustworthy, and cannot be used to narrow down Tyrion's birth year

Gotta love seeing how a thread like this can last this long/get passed to begin with, while moderators make haste in deleting single comments of mine

If you stopped putting dick pics in your posts they would stick around longer. That's what I did and now nothing gets deleted

Yes, so true OP. Melisandre actually has misread the prophecies because the Great Other, is really the Great Mother - Cercei. She will lead the ice-zombies (Mothers - that's why they take newborn babies, motherly instinct to care for them) to crush the forces of the Great Father - Daenerys Targaryen (father of Illyrio)

I like this theory. It makes a lot of sense. [emoji2]
