Lord Stunny Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Well I was just thinking about Seige of castles and men who can hold the castle best against a Seige... I think Stannis is Boss from what we have read, but Blackfish also seemed capable and so was Courtnay Penrose. Who do you think can best hold out against a seige?I will name my first five Stannis Brynden blackfish Tully Roose Bolton Courtnay Penrose Randyll Tarly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Four-Eyed Crow Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 My dream team is Tyrion+somebody with PR skills. He's well enough versed in the traditional methods of war to be effective, but cunning and creative enough to devise and execute nontraditional, effective strategies at need to compensate for weaknesses in his defense. And the somebody with PR skills would be the figurehead, to keep morale and discipline up, since everybody hates Tyrion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Nomad Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Pretty much your list but without Roose and Courtnay, because while Roose is awesome he has no loyalty, and Courtnay was willing to surrender the castle to any who would help him with Stannis. Replace those two with The Ned and Barristan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon's Queen Consort Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Stannis (look what he did when he was 17) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-Ro Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Stannis Baratheon has led the longest siege that we know of within the novels. He and the men that held storms end with him lasted a year.Any answer that isn't stannis, for this question at least, is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthRemembers10 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Stannis for sure, but I'll also say the Blackfish and Randyl Tary because they all seem like capable people as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Mac Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Can there be any answer that's not Stannis?The man was 17 when he held a castle for a year, facing utter starvation for a brother he didn't like all that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanali Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Stannis the Mannis is the only answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aceluby Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 The obvious answer is Stannis... not a fan of Baratheons, but a guy who is willing to feed his people rats so they won't be sacked has my vote any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeirwoodTreeHugger Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Stannis has the best history in this area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He and the men that held storms end with him lasted a year.Any answer that isn't stannis, for this question at least, is wrong.I could not agree more. Stannis is not only skilled in warfare etc. but he also has a history when it comes to sieges. His strong, unwavering determination is another factor. He is clearly the best man for the job.

Drogon'sWrath Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I have to go with Stannis here. I can't think of anyone that would be better, though the Blackfish is also a solid option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morienthar Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Stannis or Penrose I don't think there's any other answer here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frey Pie Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 The Blackfish and Stannis. I guess to hold the castle best one would need patience, discipline etc. Of the commanders we know Robert, Tarly and Balon I would think would not be great holding a castle under siege Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
