Tully Madness

Recommended Posts

Hoster was a nasty lord.  Consider this could be karma.  He betrayed King Aerys to increase his status.  His house is paying the price if the Stark, Baratheon, and Tully families were conspiring against the Targaryens prior to Robert's rebellion.  This illness was then inherited by Catelyn and on down to her children.

Let's just say I'd be surprised if anything from the main series or the World of Ice and Fire could back this up.

Bran sees a lot of really bad stuff.  It will be very easy for him to lose his sanity and do something homicidal on a large scale.  Like releasing wights into the 7kingdoms.  Instead of let loose the hounds its let loose the wights for Bran.

Hoster’s family might indeed be the victims of karma. Cat and Ed were too young to have done much during Robert’s theft of Westeros but Cat has sinned a lot.  

No she hasn't.

The stress triggered the madness in Cat.  Ned's public execution triggered the same illness in Arya.  Something very stressful will happen to Sansa and she might break too.  Their blood make them vulnerable to madness. 

Sansa is the most like Lysa among Catelyn’s brood.  She’s cooler headed while lacking some smarts. The one who is already suffering from the illness is Arya.

Catelyn had the inherited madness from the Tully family from where she came. The strain of the red wedding on its own is not the reason she went mad. It was in her blood. 

Such nonsense. And what exactly is the value of repeating this when it has already been done to death?

Abso-fucking-lutely. Every time I read a Cat chapter where she's going totally bonkers and acting like a lunatic I'm reminded of all those mad deranged mental Tully ancestors of hers we hear so much about throughout the story!

:lol:

This reminds me of ravings of like a half-mad priest. Like Aeron Greyjoy, but his religion is just hating the Tully's for some reason.

Catelyn had the brains among hoster Tully's children.  Lysa and Edmure were not sharp in that area.  Although it is Catelyn and Lysa who went mad.  Arya is much smarter compared to slow Sansa but it is Arya who lost her sanity.  Sansa could be spared from madness.  I don't think she will live long enough.  Littlefinger will get rid of her as soon as she loses what value she has in his plans.
