Who can Jaime Lannister (with no right hand) actually beat in single combat?

Let's give him Kingsguard helmet and armor and the Valyrian Steel longsword given to him. Strap a shield on his right arm. With his sword skills depreciated so much, list as many people he would actually be able to beat? Can current Samwell Tarly or even Podrick Payne be able to beat the one-handed Kingslayer?

Don't think he's that incredibly bad.


He might even hold out for a while against an average knight. The insticts go nowhere and he has been training.


For a cricket anology if you can hit a ball batting right handed you should be able to hit it batting left handed too, it won't look pretty or go as far but you should be able to hit it at least.

Dude Pod's already killed a Kingsguard and that one was still good for something at the time!

He stabbed that Kingsguard's head with a spear from behind. I don't know how it went in the books.

he'd probably do better with a smaller sword

Well, a valyrian steel shortsword or whichever, who do you think he can beat?

Obviously the sand snakes.....

Of course, the book ones. Not the TV ones. lol

But it's noted that he's no way in the same tier of a swordsman as he was when he was whole.

Pod pushes him into the water where he drowns a common cause of death for a person in plate armor unfortunately.

He's obviously not the Barristan equal anymore, but he should still be better than your run of the mill soldier.

Yeah, Varys he might be able to kill, since Varys at the very least pretends to be scared of him and save Tyrion.

Other people Jaime can defeat:

Old Nan, Sweetrobin, Doran Martell (assuming he is without a bodyguard), Aemon, Missandei, the burnt corpse of Quentyn Martell and that´s about it ;)

Well hey, Littlefinger did train in swordsmanship for a while in preparation for that duel for Catlyn Tully.



I wonder how Aemon would fare... old as he is, age doesn't seem to bother Jorah Mormont's father much. Aemon was the dragonknight... however blind now. Daredevil? XD

Aemon the dragonknight and maester Aemon are not the same person.
