Was Baelor Breakspear’s defense of Dunk in the trial of seven purely motivated by the rules of chivalry and Baelor’s own idealism? Or do you think Baelor was, at least to some extent, being a wily politician out to court the favor of the smallfolk as well as do some damage control in the wake of Brightflame’s brutality? Having a Targaryen on each side plays better with the optics of an event that will be replayed and hashed over in every tavern and inn in the seven kingdoms. Big fan of the blog!
