The Bard of Banefort Posted August 6, 2022 Author Share Posted August 6, 2022 Baelor the Blessed may have been one of the most authoritarian kings in the series. There is something seriously sinister about locking your sisters up in captivity, presumably forever.

Did he think that Viserys was going to rule when he died? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takiedevushkikakzvezdy Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 I didn't know that the Bolt-on theory had such a serious following. It even has its' own page on the wiki. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EggBlue Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 I think Conqueror's Prophecy is my favorite new information I can even work it into Baelor's odd behavior! my theory is that Baelor had dreams of his own (like Daeron the drunken and other targs) and he saw Aegon's apocalyptic dream on his own . but as a fanatic , his reaction was more like Shepherd's reaction to Green's army rather than Aegon's reaction . which explains why he decided that house Targaryen must end ! hence , imprisoning his sisters and sending away his married cousin to Bravos!

The Bard of Banefort Posted August 7, 2022 Author Share Posted August 7, 2022 I believe that George confirmed Daeron was straight. My headcanon is that the Dragonknight was gay, which would make Aegon IV even more of an ass for accusing him of fathering his son.

Craving Peaches Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Recently I was wondering why there is no Magna Carta equivalent in Westeros. You would think that after Aerys the nobles would be especially keen to limit the king's power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I don't think something like a Magna Carta would be necessary. That's true, and it usually works to keep the king in check as they know they can't step out of line too much, but I still don't understand why they wouldn't codify something like the Magna Carta to make it official, especially after Aerys was overthrown or when the Targaryens lost their dragons. At this point the lords have more power than the king, why not make it so that the king legally can't have unlimited power anymore? It would make it much easier to replace a troublesome king too, as they can say they have the law on their side and so aren't rebels/traitors/usurpers.

The Bard of Banefort Posted August 8, 2022 Author Share Posted August 8, 2022 I find it a little odd that Tyrion never really thinks about how he didn’t get the chance to know his mother. He thinks about how Tywin blames him for killing Joanna, but doesn’t seem to care much that he grew up without her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I reemember, neither does Dany. But we are not inside their heads 24/7, so maybe they do think about it off-page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One-Winged Balrog Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Do you think ASOIAF would have been better if GRRM had killed more POV characters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think killing off additional POV characters would have done anything. My issue with the characters dying is that is seems lopsided in favour of the 'evil' characters. I think more bad guys need to die. Apart from Tywin and Vargo Hoat, I feel like the only people dying are good guys. Ned, Catelyn, Ser Arys, Quentyn, possibly Jon. It feels a bit one-sided. Also quite a lot of the people who die only have one POV chapter so they don't have as much impact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
