Faera Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 What, to each other or to himself? Spoiler Tywin did marry Tyrion to Sansa with the intention of getting a backdoor into the North and Lannister heir to Winterfell, since at that point he likely knew Robb was not long for this world nor would he be having any kids of his own. If I recall correctly, Tywin wanted Cersei to marry Willas Tyrell in order to get a Lannister heir to Highgarden. However, Mance politely refused. Willas is heir to Highgarden, after all, and Cersei is getting old. So, after that, I think he mentions to Jaime that he was thinking of marrying her to Oberyn Martell and having Jaime dismissed from the Kingsguard so he will be free to become Lord of the Rock and possibly marry Margaery. Ultimately, I think Tywin wanted to marry Cersei off as an excuse to keep her well away from Tommen from fear she'll mess up like she did with Joffrey.

Are you insinuating that Targ polygamy in these novels and incest are the same? It pretty much is dependent upon ones outlook. It kinda depends on whether one is okay with brother and sister doing the wild thawg. Which I am not. That aside, Tywin shows a dislike that his son, Tyion,is a dwarf.

manchester_babe Posted December 11, 2017 Author Share Posted December 11, 2017 Yeah. true. But then Sansa would've had suffered. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4 Eyed Crow Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Because Tywin is not a Targaryen. Cousin incest is okay in Westeros. Sibling incest is not, unless you were the Targaryens because Targaryens are the exception. On 12/10/2017 at 8:34 PM, manchester_babe said: Yeah. true.

Well, at that point, Joffrey was already betrothed to Margaery, so even if Cersei married Tyrion, Sansa would not have had to marry Joffrey.

Lady Noble Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Tywin only cares about power and the security of his house. He needs her to marry someone of importance and of a different house. It's purely political, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
