Blede Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Killing the King thus breaking the Kingsguard oath requires much more courage than simply not defending him. I think he would have closed himself into a cabinet the instant the sack of King's Landing began and shouted "I YIELD" at the first Lannister man-at-arm opening it.

The Pain Yak Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 The moment he found out what Aerys was going to do, he'd have made a desperate attempt to get the hell of King's Landing. His priority, I think, is always his own skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pain Yak Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 jaimes solution was easier and would better insure his survivalBut it requires the courage to face the inevitable backlash when people find out what he did. Boros doesn't have that courage. Nor would he have the conviction to follow Aerys into a fiery grave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It matters what they do. He doesn't have a prestigious backer like Tywin Lannister or the skills Jaime possesses. If he had been found as a Kingslayer, they would have executed him or sent him to the wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pain Yak Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 so does that mean jaime only went with kingslaying because his dad would protect him afterwardsNo, Jaime doesn't think like that. But were Boros Blount so completely in Jaime's shoes that he had the wealthiest lord in the Seven Kingdoms for a father, critical to the stability of the new king's realm, as well as himself being one of the finest swordsmen alive, would he have done what Jaime did?.Yeah, probably. He has neither the father nor the skills, though, and would have been every bit as expendable at that time as he is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurkhal Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Indeed, Blount as we know him would not have made any attempt to do anything but save his own skin. He might have been different ten years ago but we can't say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
