Alchemy-Cat Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 On the Wiki of Ice and Fire, Tyrion's birth year is listed as 273 AC. He married Tysha when he was 13 name days (years) old, which makes the year 286 AC. Two years after the end of Robert's Rebellion and subsequently the year Joffery was born. The Wiki says Jamie and Tyrion were hunting bandits near Casterly Rock when they saved Tysha. Jamie had been on the Kingsguard for years at this point what was he doing in the Westerlands? (I always assumed the marriage happened before the rebellion but math has proven me wrong) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernie Mac Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Robert's not particularly strict when it comes to where his Kingsguard are. At the beginning of the series he makes a trip to Winterfell, which must have been close to half a year. He only took three of his Kingsguard with him, leaving the other four at the capital. Jaime, as the Kings brother-in-law, was likely free to come and go as he pleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stannis th3 Mannis Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 In not sure about the answer given about the answer above. Yes Jamie probably got special treatment being family but I doubt robert or Beristan Selmy (sp?) Would be ok with Jamie (1/5) of the kings guard leaving for months on end to simply visit his homeland. It puts the royal family in jeopardy and unless he was there protecting a member like Cerci (wich he couldn't be doing while out hunting bandits with tyrion) I think it's a simple oversight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The KG are allowed to travel, as long as the King is safe. This is known: The tourney was first announced by Walter Whent, Lord of Harrenhal, late in the year 280 AC, not long after a visit from his younger brother, Ser Oswell Whent, a knight of the Kingsguard. That this would be an event of unrivaled magnificence was clear from the first, for Lord Whent was offering prizes thrice as large as those given at the great Lannisport tourney of 272 AC, hosted by Lord Tywin Lannister in celebration of Aerys II’s tenth year upon the Iron Throne. Not even a paranoid man like Aerys saw much problem in letting Whent visit his brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are all separated then atleast one of them has to go without protection from a kings guard member. And I'd like to add while I assume it maybe a oversight it would be a easily fixed one, Jamie could have been tasked with delivering some important message or somthing wich maybe is the case to begin with and we just havent been told yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Robert, Cersei, Joff, Tommen and Myrce, there are 6 kg for 5 royals. Regardless, the KG dispositions depends of the Kg, Robert's family could perfectly travel with or without his kg.

I'm assuming they dont spend every waking moment together and during a day the 5 could be separate doing diffrent thing through the redkeep or even kings landing. Idk why I was thinking theres only 5 but I'm just giving a idea. I'm with you on the royal family dosent have to have a kingsgaurd member with them but it seems like they usally do and if nothing else I dont think they would like being inconvenienced not having one of 6 simply because they wanted to visit home. If any of the 6 could get away with this it would be Jamie imo however Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i don't really think that Robert gave a damn, it's not like he is the kind a man that uses bodyguards regardless, so his use of the Kg seems pretty loose.
