Ned must have known that his duties as Hand might include finding someone guilty of a crime that required execution, and he meant what he said to Bran about the importance of being the one to swing the sword. There are plenty of cultural differences between the North and King's Landing. There are the Faith of the Seven, and the Old Gods. There is the King's headsman, and "the man that passes the sentence should swing the sword." The Starks' the motto is "Winter is Coming." Ned and his crew are their own terror squad, striking fear into criminals in their own type of way. Ned needs to look into the eyes of the condemned and tell him "It's a cold world and this is Ice ... now lean forward" Ned, as an ambassador, just want to spread his uptown culture while he is down there.

Pedro Luiz Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 I'll use this thread to make another question: How exactly Ned had find Rickard and Brandon's bones after the rebellion? Did Aerys keep it as some kind of gesture of honor? It seems pretty strange to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After Ned was killed, and his head put up on the walls of the Red Keep, Tyrion was able to have his bones collected and sent to Riverrun and Lady Catelyn. I think that, even between bitter enemies, there is some respect given to corpses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
