Trident full of Dogs Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I'm not sure it was the Tyrells who killed Joffrey. COould Twyin have planned it?Beforw his wedding Joffrey challenges his grandfather sauimg his own "father", Robert, was braver than Twyin, and Twyin says to Cersei something like "I thought you said he didn't like like Robert" and that he didn't go to war to put Robert the second in the throne.Also Shae was sleeping with Twyin and she was very insisting with Tyrion about attending Joffrey's weding. What if Twyin asked her to poison Joffrey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mormont Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 When the author has provided details of a conspiracy behind a story event, it's normally a waste of time to speculate that maybe there was a whole other conspiracy going on that he didn't tell us about but was actually the real conspiracy all along.

siknes Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I think what Mormont wanted to say is that LF confesses about the plot, with Queen of thorns as the purpotator (protecting her granddaughter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be tedious to do so. Besides, the reasons you gave for Tywin murdering Joffrey were not that convincing. And let us not forget, Tywin put an awful lot of effort not just into helping the ruling of the Seven Kingdoms but also helping Joffrey. Why murder him?

Grandpa House Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Yeah every aspect of that possibility is just totally out-of-character for Tywin. Wanting "payback" in the form of death for a silly insult from his 13 y/o grandson is, well, more something someone like Joffrey would do. And he's sooo into the Lannister name/legacy that I think he out of all people would be most against kinslaying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikachu101 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Tywin wouldn't kill Joffrey publicly not when he's so obsessed with the Lannister image. The wedding was a grand spectacle, demonstrating the power of House Lannister, they had defeated Stannis and Robb and now they're back on trackKilling Joffrey would destroy this image is power and security. So it was more likely Olenna not only does she save Margaery but it also symbolises where the power lies now; House Tyrell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
