Wraith421 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 At the beginning of A Game of Thrones (Page 50 in my book) during the dinner with the King in Winterfel, Jon Snow is describing the entrance of his half siblings and who they are escorting. He never mentions Bran. Where is Bran? Is this an overlook by the author or is there another explanation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basel Gill Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 George himself admitted that he forgot about Bran when writting this scene. :)Has GRRM ever done corrections to later editions of the books to fix things, like Jordan has done in WoT? Or does he prefer to let the errors stay as they are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The hairy bear Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I believe George has never corrected any text from the books. Some of the discrepancies he even claims to be intentional, to reflect different perceptions or missconceptions from the POVs.There was, however, a correction from the appendixes. The Targaryen genealogy from the appendixes of the first AGOT editions had Viserys II being the fourth brother of Daeron I and Baelor the Blessed, instead of their uncle. After the publication of The Hedge Knight it was noted that this made impossible for him to be the grand-grandfather of Baelor Breakspear (unless we started having people father sons at ten), so the genealogies were changed.

Wraith421 Posted May 2, 2011 Author Share Posted May 2, 2011 George himself admitted that he forgot about Bran when writting this scene. :)I just figured that it would have been corrected in a later edition but I guess not. Thanks for the reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually hadn't even noticed Bran's omission till it was pointed out in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mormont Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 We know Bran was at the dinner, and even that he was at the high table - he remembers it in ACOK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyFriend Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 George himself admitted that he forgot about Bran when writting this scene. :)I have to say that I love that he has been involved in the series and is relatively responsive to inquisitive (and probably infuriating) fans. It's really good to have something of an authority given all the speculation of fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady of Lakes Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I was somewhat curious about this myself. In fact, I had to go back and reread that scene to see if I had somehow missed it. We know Bran was at the dinner, and even that he was at the high table - he remembers it in ACOK.It's good to know Bran was there. I'll have to look for that when I read ACOK.

TheNiggardlyBastard Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Bran was probably climbing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
