I’ve just read your earlier reply about NedxAshara but I personally always thought that was a red herring and that Ashara was actually involved with Brandon. Specially because of the way ser Barristan remembers it. Afterall he never thinks badly of Ned but does of the Stark that dishonored his beloved. Any thoughts on this possibility?

I would say that Brandon/Ashara was the norm, but I’ve always had a problem with that particular theory. To me, there’s two key limitations to Barristan as a witness: first, he’s a giant romantic so he’d much rather think that a Stark “dishonored” his beloved than she willingly slept with someone else and therefore wasn’t the pure embodiment of the Maiden he had in his head; and second, he wasn’t particularly close to the situation – Barristan was busy fighting in the tourney when he wasn’t guarding the king.

So what I think happened is that Barristan heard a story about a Stark sleeping with Ashara and jumped to the same conclusions that a lot of people have, on the basis of rather superficial judgements about the people involved.
