Talleyrand Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 You have to give it to Brandon. A man who will willingly strangle himself to death in an attempt to help his dad probably isn't going to go down easy, especially when the whole Lyanna fiasco comes into play.

RedBean Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I'll support the Wild Wolf in this one. Rhaegar became a warrior because he *had* to become one. Brandon has it in his personality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A man who will willingly strangle himself to death in an attempt to help his dad probably isn't going to go down easy, especially when the whole Lyanna fiasco comes into play.Good point.Also, it has been mentioned that Rhaegar was a great jouster and beat Brandon in a tourny... some people perform better when shit gets real and others worse. Also, I dont care about the whole "Well, he gave Robert a run for his money! So he could probably take Brandon!"Anyone that follows fighting knows that styles make fights, and just because Person A can beat Person B, and that person B can beat person C, does not mean that person A can beat person C.Brandon was a warrior. Rhaegar a competitor. In a controlled environment following fixed rules Rhaegar wins. In battle, when there are no rules but kill or be killed, Brandon wins.

Fat Mac Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I'd give it to Brandon, based on the limited knowledge. We know he was hot headed, and more talented than Ned (who was average, which means Brandon is above). We also know Rhaegar preferred the harp to the sword, so I'd have to give it to Brandon.

Lord Warhammer Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Have to say Brandon as he seemed to be a natural while Rhaegar was just a pretty boy playing knight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaeneryStormBorn Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Brandon, Can't remember where I read this, but I thought GRRM confirmed that Brandon was good swordsman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion of Judah Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 We don't know much of Brandon's fighting skills, only that he was pretty decent. There is just not enough information to tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon's Queen Consort Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 You have to give it to Brandon.
