Euron III Greyjoy Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 My guess would be him dying when Aegon takes Kings Landing, either by defending the Baratheons/Lannisters, or getting executed by Aegon so he can have his own Kingsguard. It would be pretty great though it he chose to join the Nights Watch rather then be executed, then gets intercepted by Arya in the Riverlands, or Sansa if she has already started making her way back North at that point. Both girls do have a personal vendetta against him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zandru Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Not soon enough, in my opinion. But I do like the suggestion of Young Griff / Aegon sending Trant to the Wall. Frankly, I'd rather see his unquestioning brutality be of service to the realm, rather than his perishing in some petty personal revenge by ... Sansa? Seriously? What would she do, speak discourteously to him? "A lady's deliberate rudeness is her sharp sword"? No, but back to Brother Meryn of the Night's Watch - his obedient, literal nature would probably make him a better crow than full-of-himself, upjumped Janos Slynt had been. And perhaps Ser Alliser would take the mickey out of him, too. It's likely the two men have a history, having been on opposite sides during Robert's Rebellion. Trant might prove to be useful in the war against the Others, and there's always time for him to die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevets Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Who says he dies? And, not to put too fine a point on it, but why would anyone care? He is a minor character who has essentially disappeared from the story at this point. If pushed, I would say defending either Cersei or Tommen is most likely. If Arya goes after anyone on the list, it is going to be Ilyn Payne, who has had a bit of buildup lately. And I have a hard time imagining Sansa doing anything along those lines. Remember, this is someone who was horrified at Joffrey's death, and he was a damn sight worse than ser Meryn could ever be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well to be fair I wasn't suggesting that Sansa would kill the man herself, rather she'd get someone to do it for her. I agree that it would be interesting to see someone like Meryn Trant at the Wall, but for one reason or another I just don't think he'd make it there alive.

I have to agree with you on this. Meryn is small fish and his death will be undramatic. Starvation or exposure to the cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevets Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 To be fair, I don't think the TV show has anything to do with this thread. I do, however, think that Meryn Trant is a relatively minor character whose death, if it occurs, is unlikely to have a significant impact on the story.

chrisdaw Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Cersei will have Sansa prosecuted for Joff's murder, and Sansa will demand a trial by Seven. Trant is particularly noted as Cersei's creature so I think he will survive to be part of Cersei's team of seven champions. He will die in the trial. I think either Jaime will kill him (fighting for Sansa), or Jaime will be credited with killing him (along with another 4 to make 5) and the truth be different, like how the rumours that get to the small folk or the truth that the singers make are different to the real truth. But it could be any other of Sansa's champions that kill him, maybe Barristan as he talks about cutting through the KG too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaime is a member of the Kingsguard himself, so I doubt that he would be defending Sansa, even if he were to participate. Given his missing hand, I would anticipate he would try to sit it out. Barristan is a long ways away and doesn't appear likely to return any time soon. I doubt a Trial by Seven will occur anyway, although I can imagine a trial by combat for Sansa, with either Sandor or Brienne defending her.

It'll happen as I said in the aftermath of the Dance when Cersei and Sansa are both reaching for the throne. It is Cleganebowl, it is Cersei's downfall at the hands of a younger more beautiful queen, it is Ungregor's unmasking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euron III Greyjoy Posted January 25, 2019 Author Share Posted January 25, 2019 Just want to point out, yes I know that Meryn Trant is a minor character in the grand scope of things. I have all the audiobooks so I occasionally listen to some chapters when I'm walking about, and I've recently got to Meryn Trant killing Syrio and beating Sansa. I then proceeded to think, "Wow, I forgot how much I disliked this man. I wonder how he'll die? I think I'll go and ask the people on the ASOIAF forum." If you think he will die a normal boring death then write that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
