BaseBornBastard Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I just thought of something. Aegon/JonCon and the Golden Company have landed in Cape Wrath, and have since taken several castles in the area. Griffin's Roost, Rain House and Crow's Nest have all been captured by the GC, and Harry Strickland speculates that it won't be long before Aegon holds the majority of Cape Wrath. All well and good, but then it hit me. Davos is the Lord of the Rainwood, which means that his keep is also on Cape Wrath (and likely his remaining family as well). What could the presence of a new pretender so close to his home mean for him? Is it likely that in TWOW, that Davos' keep may be taken by the GC and his family held hostage by Aegon and Co? The family of the Hand of King Stannis would certainly be considered valuable hostages for Aegon's cause. Does this spell trouble for Davos in the next book? Poor guy, he's already lost enough sons.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadrich Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Maybe they won't even know them? Though I doubt that. But everyone believes Davos is dead - so I think they will just let them be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But everyone believes Davos is dead - so I think they will just let them be. Once Rickon and Davos show up in the North, and the Manderlys betray the Boltons, I'm sure word will quickly spread across Westeros that Davos wasn't really killed. Also JonCon will have communication with Dorne, and will soon know (if he doesn't already) who Stannis' Hand is, and where his holdings are.

In eyes of JonCon they would be just commoners. Unless Aegon and JonCon are bloodthirsty (which I don't think they are). They didn't go with Davos to Eastwatch, did they?

ser piggy of horn hill Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Davos played a not minor role in the downfall of House Targaryen fAegon could want revenge fo his "family" ... it is possible but i think they will focus on gaining a strong foothold before seeking revenge. i have a feeling aegon will become really powerful in the next book.

Minsc Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Would JonCon and Aegon even know that Davos is Stannis's Hand or even particularly care that much? Especially, seeing how they are more important things to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronn Urgandy Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I wouldn't fancy their chances if they harm the Onion Knight's family, Stannis was pissed off enough about Davos himself being beheaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Kenny Dondarrion Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Davos's family isn't there, Stannis awarded him with the castle, he is the rightfull lord of it as much as Stannis is the rightful king, and holds the castle as much as Stannis hold the ITStannis's troops where in SE, but they didn't have the stormlands.If i recall correctly, Davos's family is in some place in Essos, since they knew Stannis soon enough would lose everything he had in the south Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Aegon and JonCon are bloodthirsty (which I don't think they are). They didn't go with Davos to Eastwatch, did they? The immediate family of the Hand of the King will be seen as more than mere commoners. I agree Aegon and JonCon aren't bloodthirsty, but they would still be considered valuable hostages nonetheless. Should the GC's power expand to cover the entirety of Cape Wrath (or even just as far as Davos' keep), his family will certainly not be simply ignored.

I believe Davos was going to have them flee across the Narrow Sea should Stannis die. He advised in his letters that his wife take the children and go to Braavos or Lorath should Stannis fall.

I am of the Night Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Where IS Davo's family? He may be Lord of the Rainwood, but the Tyrells and Lannisters control most of the Stormlands, making it an empty title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Crow's Third Eye Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 The Wiki says that Davos' family are in Cape Wrath. I believe Davos was going to have them flee across the Narrow Sea should Stannis die. He advised in his letters that his wife take the children and go to Braavos or Lorath should Stannis fall. It was on the Sisters where Davos thought about what could have happened if he had gone with Salla, getting his family to Essos. Either that or he considered asking Salla to do it for him. But anyway, yes they were still in the Rainwood, whether they are still there or were taken by one of the various factions of Westeros we dont know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blutraven Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Davos got made Lord of the Rainwood pretty soon before Stannis went North so they wouldn't have moved into the castle at The Rainwood yet. His first keep would only be a minor holding and he was only a landed knight so he wouldn't be able to field many men, hopefully they'll pass Davos' Keep by without realising. But if they hurt Marya, Stannis or Steffon I won't be happy until fAegon and JonCon are feeding maggots. Davos has been through too much for such a good man.

I don't think he was given a new keep. Anyway I think they either GC will not notice them, or they are gone. I mean if they were still there - why wouldn't Lannisters have gone there ?

Queen Alienor Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Neither JonCon nor fAegon seemed like the guys that kill innocents, but if they do hurt any of Davos' family I'm officially going to start hating them. I agree though that probably the Seaworth's are still at their old keep. Chances are that nobody will think it important enough to take, especially when Marya is clever enough not to rebell against them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon of the Dead Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 It would be an interesting situation if Davos has to choose between his kin and his king, just like Stannis had to when Aerys demanded Robert's head. I think it's likely actually, because Davos confronted Stannis about this in aSoS and Stannis said something like, "you have no idea how difficult that choice was for me", and now Davos might be in the same place And as others said, if Aegon and the GC so much as touch one hair of Marya or Lil' Stannis or the other one, there will be no punishment terrible enough for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
