Tyrion'sNose Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 If you are guarding a king that means you have an hability..Robb wouldn't put a guy that can't hold a sword in his guard I guess borras blunt and meryn trant are gods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trigger Warning Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I don't know what point you're trying to make. That becoming a guard to a king magically boosts your swordsmanship and riding ability? Because it doesn't. The boys had likely never seen combat before. The book never said he is poor with one eitherThey've been trained all their life, they are well armed and well armoured surrounded by other nobles. And Jaime charges up with a few men and cuts them down with ease.Trying to diminish this as a display of Jaime's lethality in combat stinks of bias.

Twenty of House Goodmen Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 That has never been said in the books that he is good with a swordAnd so he swept down on stoney sept, closed off the town, and began a search. His knights went house to house, smashed in every door, peered into every cellar. He had even sent men crawling through the sewers, yet somehow Robert still eluded him. The townsfolk were hiding him. They moved him from one secret bolt hole to the next, always a step ahead of the kings men. The whole town was a nest of traitors. At the end they had the usurper hidden in a brothel. What sort of king was that, who would hide behind the skirts of women? Yet whilst the search dragged on, Eddard Stark and Hoster tully came down upon the town with a rebel army. Bells and battle followed, and Robert emerged from his brothel with a blade in hand, and almost slew Jon on the steps of the old sept that gave the town its name.

LordQorgyle Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 And it has been said in the books that Jaime also can use a lance and a mace that makes ahim a complete warrior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrion'sNose Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 And it has been said in the books that Jaime also can use a lance and a mace that makes ahim a complete warrior can't argue with that logic. I guess Jamie could kill anyone with anything in single combat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twenty of House Goodmen Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Leaving a brothel with a sword doesn't make him a good swordsmanHe killed Rhaegar's friend Ser Myles Mooton with a sword and nearly kill Jon Connington himself. Jon Connington was already a warrior of note, which is why Aerys choose him to hunt Robert in the first place. Robert managed to defeat him with a weapon that isn't his weapon of choice. This is the same man who just finished killing the best knight in the Vale(Denys Arryn), and broke through Hoster's guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrion'sNose Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 And Meryn is not a bad swordsman he would kill half the guys that appear in the books lol I agree if the beating he gave to Sansa are any indication meryn is a warrior the likes of which the seven kingdoms has never seen before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordQorgyle Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Im not saying that im saying is complete, he could fight well with 3 different weapons and is the best with one of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordQorgyle Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Where have you seen Denys Arryn is thest knight in the Vale?Never saw that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Arryn Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Where have you seen Denys Arryn is thest knight in the Vale?Never saw thatHe's mentioned as renowned, but there's nothing comparing him with anyone else in the Vale. His general description is a lot like Harry the heir's, really. Gallant, handsome, renowned martial skill....prototype Arryn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordQorgyle Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I have read he was a renowned jouster but never the best knight in the vale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingelheim Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Please guys, leave this argument, it's offtopic. Jaime was an extraordinary warrior, one of the best swordsmen ever, said by Martin himself. Let's go back to Dayne vs Robert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordQorgyle Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Martin said that Dayne with Dawn is unbeatable so Dayne all the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrion'sNose Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 If the fight was scheduled in advanced I think Dayne could come up with a good strategy to win cause we know Robert is kind off dumb and stupidity is easy to exploit. But if they meet randomly It could go either way. BTW why does Dawn make Dayne unbeatable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordQorgyle Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Dawn is better than valyrian steel and George said that with her Dayne is unbeatable so for me that is enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
