Lady Gwynhyfvar Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 “As you wish,” said Jaime, though it was a bloody nuisance. He allowed them to keep their arms and armor, and assigned a dozen of Gregor Clegane’s men to escort the two of them to Maidenpool. The command he gave to Rafford, the one they called the Sweetling. “See to it that the prisoners reach Maidenpool unspoiled,” he told the man, “or what Ser Gregor did to the Goat will seem a jolly lark compared to what I’ll do to you.” AFfC p.668 Jaime only says Maidenpool. Jaime is expecting Grell and Ryger to go to the Wall upon their honor as knights. :cheers: thanks for that! I didn't have my ebooks handy for once and was going off something I'd written previously... Oops yeah my bad. I just re-read that book too. Me too (that part anyway) and I was still confused when this came up earlier, until I referred to an essay I wrote and noticed the reference to a dozen men.

Ser Leftwich Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 “How many men-at-arms accompanied Ser Ronnet to the city?” Ser Kevan asked. “Twenty,” said Lord Randyll Tarly, “and most of them Gregor Clegane’s old lot. Your nephew Jaime gave them to Connington. To rid himself of them, I’d wager. They had not been in Maidenpool a day before one killed a man and another was accused of rape. I had to hang the one and geld the other. If it were up to me, I would send them all to the Night’s Watch, and Connington with them. The Wall is where such scum belong.” Jaime sent Robin Ryger and Desmond Grell along with Raff the Sweetling to Maidenpool to accompany them to the Wall safely. Does the bolded part mean that some of the Mountain's men left with them for the Eastwatch? Or Robin and Desmond escaped on the way to Maidenpool and Mountain's men are keeping their mouths shut about it? The bolded part means that Tarly had to punish the two (hang and geld) and if he could, he would summarily send all of the Mountain's men to the Wall, but since they did not do anything wrong, he (Tarly) could not send them. Keep in mind there are two groups: Raff's group and Ronnet's group. Still, the text does not seem to mean that any of the Mountain's men acted as escort to Eastwatch.

Mithras Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Bugger the mountain's men with a bloody spear. The real question is where are Raff and Dunsen and how will Arya take them out :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She could only get a bite from Joffrey from the list. She deserves more. Though she looks like all her attention is on Freys right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen of Whores Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Do we know if anyone was appointed Warden in the North between Ned's death and Roose's appointment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhaenys_Targaryen Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Do we know if anyone was appointed Warden in the North between Ned's death and Roose's appointment?Robb was the King in the North. And the north was fighting a war against the IT. So there was no warden. I'd say that having a king and being in rebellion is enough :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matoro Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Oh, of course. I feel silly now for not realising that. And even without king or rebellion, Robb would've been the Warden. He would have inherited it from Eddard, like all his other titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I remember reading about a 100 years as well. Thanks guys, that makes sense in relation to one sentence in the story itself. I was just wondering about the back story of this book, since Ran said that it had been lost for some time and only recently re-surfaced. He did say we'd hear more about it in the world book, but my imagination is running wild meanwhile... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
