Lady_Qohor Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Why are the Stokeworths living in the Red Keep? They don't appear to be friends or family of the Royal Family, they don't have any official court positions and are not hostages or exiles. Lady Stokeworth has a perfectly nice castle down the road so why do Robert and the Lannisters house them for free? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaehaerys Tyrell Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 How did Rickard and Brandon Stark's bodies come to be interred in the crypts of Winterfell? I can't imagine Aerys II returning them nor bothering to give them graves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Living at court is more exciting and gives you more opportunities for the advancement of your house. The prominence of the Stokeworths at court may be influenced by them being so close if anything, as it doesn't present much issue in continuing to administer their nearby lands. Lady Tanda was also trying to find a husband for Lady Lollys, so was likely also at court especially frequently to find a match for her.

Disrespecting the dead is a long, long way further than Aerys went and has deep implications that even he might be fearful of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine Aerys II returning them nor bothering to give them graves. I could see a young Jon Connington returning the bodies as it was the honourable thing to do. I could also see Owen Merryweather (described as aimiable) returning the bodies. Merryweather was Hand when the Starks were murdered and returning the bodies may have been a desperate attempt to prevent war. If he did, that might have contributed to Aerys believing Merryweather was conspiring with the rebels and getting rid of him.

What does the Royal Family get out of housing and feeding a minor noble family of the Crownlands? They're can't just be an open invitation to all lords (or even all Crownland lords) to come and stay in the Red Keep for as long as they want - if there was the palace would be swamped with nobles jockeying for favours and influence.

Loose Bolt Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Stokeworths are literally vital to King's Landing Quote Half of the food they ate these days came from his lands or Lady Tanda's. Rosby and Stokeworth lay near the city to the north, and were yet untouched by war. Tyrion IV ACoK So until Tyrells replace them as major source of food any sane ruler of KL would try to keep lords of Rosby and Stokeworth friendly.

Alexis-something-Rose Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I don't know. If I'm Robert (and by that I mean Jon Arryn), I want to keep my vassals in the crownlands happy. Plus there was a Manly Stokeworth who was the commander of King's Landing City Watch right before Janos Slynt. While we don't know what he was to Tanda and her daughters, it's possible that he is the reason they get to stay in the Red Keep for however long they want.

He should go to the Happy Port in Braavos. It's near the Ragman's harbor, and is just across from the Mummer's Ship. Ask for the Sailor's Wife or her daughter Lanna. Your mate might not make it out alive, but he will have his question answered. Edited September 18, 2020 by SFDanny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're can't just be an open invitation to all lords (or even all Crownland lords) to come and stay in the Red Keep for as long as they want - if there was the palace would be swamped with nobles jockeying for favours and influence. I don’t think it’s uncommon for families to hang around court, and I never got the impression the Stokeworths were particularly egregious in doing so. Do we know for sure they actually lived at court and had done so for much more than the short time frame of the books? In regards to them being allowed to - I think it might be connected to laws of hospitality. Cersei mentions Robert’s Estermont cousins staying at court for half a year after their marriage and him “repaying the visit,” suggesting to me a sort of lighthearted acknowledgement of them taking advantage of polite hospitality. Additionally, the Stokeworths don’t strike me as particularly cheeky guests. Lady Tanda is said to host feasts, both for prospective husbands for Lollys and just for social purposes. I assume she is paying for these feasts and isn’t just at the Red Keep picking through the larders. As mentioned already, nor are they particularly minor locally - the Stokeworth and Rosby lands are vital for the supply of King’s Landing. Another thought I just had - we know some individuals have manses in King’s Landing and it could also be possible, although I can’t recall an example of it happening, for a noble family to lease out rooms in the Red Keep.
