BBBaratheon Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Is there any chance he is some descendent of House Strong and not Gregor Clegane at all? Harwin Strong was known as "Breakbones" and the strongest man in the Seven Kingdoms during the time of Dance of Dragons. The name House "Strong" probably denotes the progenitors of the house were notoriously strong and it seems such a trait would run in the house much as other strong traited houses.

Ramsay's Penguins Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Well yeah, the Strongs are known to be Strongs, and they have been around since First Men times, but most think him to be Gregor Clegane the Reanimountain. The Strong house is extinct anyway, so he might be family, but not the house. So nah, Greggy all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aryagonnakill#2 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 My take on the strong name is that it is a nod to Harrenhall to point us there for a reason. I believe the reason is that Qyburn learned the magic for whatever he did to Gregor to turn him into Ungregor in the yellow book that Roose burned and only kept 1 page of.

Orbulas B. Harding Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Let's not ignore the greter sub-textual importance of the name: 'Stark' is German for 'Strong' Robert Strong might prove to have an eventual connection to Stark power being that the headless beasts name is pretty much Robb Stark. I've long fantasized about Bran warging in to the great killing machine and using it as his weapon. The story of the knight of the laughing tree also seems to foreshadow this even in a very Martin-esque fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
