1234567 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 As Tyrion is the closest to Richard III, I'd have to vote for him.Edit: But for the DNA link they'll have to go to the docks around Braavos. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saryan Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Didn't Renly's body disappear? I vote Renly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redviper9 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I don't understand the question.But hell. I'm going to say - King Bob.The remains of Richard III of England were recently discovered in a parking lot.As to the OP, I'd say either Stannis or -- although he was never a king -- Theon. Much like Stannis, Richard III claim to the throne derived from his accusation that his nephews weren't the legitimate heirs. His opponents also depicted him as a grim, humorless man. I say Theon because Richard's young nephews famously disappeared from the Tower of London, never to be seen or heard from again, much like Bran and Rickon.ETA: Ninja'd by Mormont's Raven regarding the discovery of Richard III.

Castellan Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Good point, although as Loras buried him in a remote beautiful spot he'll probably end up under a Center Parc. yes indeed or maybe a strip mall/theme park about how once this was a beautiful spot.

Pelican Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Some of the news sites have had a mirror debate to this one -- commenters debating which asoiaf character Richard III resembled most. Most people say either Stannis or Ned -- haven't seen any Tyrions yet.[One blogger making GoT connections says that "Edward" was pronounced "Eddard" back in medieval England.]In fairness, the car park was a small Grey Friars (Franciscan) monastery when Richard was buried there. It was later closed under Henry VIII and eventually destroyed. So maybe the question is: What previously sacred site in Westeros is now being used as something else entirely? (i.e. Winterfell.)

1234567 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 So maybe the question is: What previously sacred site in Westeros is now being used as something else entirely? (i.e. Winterfell.)Well it may not have been a sacred site, but the Twins maybe as level as a car park by the end of the series. (With most of the Freys beneath it naturally).Also, Richard III = Ned or Stannis? They seem nothing like RIII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelican Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 If you're a Ricardian, he seems a bit like Ned -- Beloved in the North, trusted the wrong people and ended up dead because of it. The Stannis connection is probably more as the younger brother of a king whose queen was blonde and reviled, and whose children were declared illegitimate.

The Broke Howard Hughes Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 The Mad King. He's definitely the sort of king who'd get deposed killed and dumped in a random ditch to be dug up 500 years later by some eager glory hungry PH.D student.

He was buried but the abbey where they put his corpse was destroyed (during the reign of Henry VIII, I guess).I agree with Pelican - it would be Ned, though he wasn't a king. He came from the north and even if he didn't kill the successors of the rightful monarch, he admitted to plotting against them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Mac Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Ned, even if he wasn't a king. Rhaegars too maybe, or did his body drift out to sea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
