Did Bran "kill" Robert...

Looked on quite a few boards for anything relating to this, unless it is buried deep in a "Stark Warging" post, if so, I apologize...



This is pretty far out, but just like I think Stoneheart will be the one to bring Jon back, it requires some inferences, that could very well be wrong.



This theory infers that The Others are not necessarily, "evil", or "bad", but merely a way to restore balance to natural order. They "feel" the dragons, they "feel" the dragon looking glasses, and they "feel" a legit Targaryan, whether that is Aegon or Danny, who knows.



What does "Ice" fear more than "Fire"? And vice versa? Certainly not the humans in the literal middle.



So, Robert arrives to WF, and Jon is notably VERY disappointed :



"The king was a great disappointment to Jon. His father had talked of him often: the peerless Robert Baratheon, demon of the Trident, the fiercest warrior of the realm, a giant among princes. Jon saw only a fat man, red-faced under his beard, sweating through his silks. He walked like a man half in his cups."



I do not think it is crazy to assume the Stark boys talked about their disappointed to one another.


A day later? Bran gets thrown out the window and is comatose.



The whole time Bran is comatose, his Mother NEVER leaves his side, all of the uncertainty in the air was probably terrifying to un-conscience Bran and once again it do not think it is crazy to assume that Bran absorbed some of Ned's thoughts, especially while in prayer, while Ned was in KL.



Ned was ENRAGED to find out that Robert wanted to kill Danny, and the thought that his King would rather flee to the Free Cities and become a Sellsword rather than rule probably infuriated him even further.



But Ned was a doormat, sorry if that hurts Ned fans, nothing in the text in his history proves otherwise, did not have the b*lls to say anything so instead of confronting Robert, he flees back home to WF.



With his tail between his legs, Ned gets ambushed and injured by Jamie's forces.



Robert comes to his bed, says that if Ned does not take back the post of Hand, he will give it to Jamie.



JAMIE!!!! Is there ONE PERSON alive Ned loathes more than Jamie Lannister?



I do not think so at that point.



Do we not have another Weirwood visit from Ned around this time? Before his meeting with Cersai or does that come a little later?



Regardless, Robert goes hunting, Robert gets drunk, Robert dies.



Boars are vicious, boars are cruel, but would ONE BOAR attack a host on men, ON HORSES???? Doubtful.



Did Bran knowingly do this? No.



Did Bran's "thoughts" and "sub-conscience" cause the boar to attack and kill Robert in fear? Yes.

I like it, but probably not. It was those bitch ass lannisters. when you are boar hunting you don't have everyone around you, you stalk it and either thrust at close range or throw the spear like a javelin. most spear hunters today also carry a sidearm just in case, seeing that robert was thrust hunting wild boar in the first place is pretty fucking gangsta. And why don't they smoke weed in westeros it would be better for hunting than wine.

It is nowhere stated that Robert was on his horse when the boar attacked. In fact, seeing as people were ordered to "stand aside", he was on his feet as well.

And a month passes between Robert arriving and Bran falling. It did not happen the next day.

And Bran wakes up quite a while before he whole "Robert goes hunting, Ned confronts Verses" incident.

Had Bran warged the boar, he would have some recollection of it. He doesn't express such .

There is nothing that textually implies that anyone other than the wine and the boar killed Robert. (besides Ned, according to Varys)
