Sometimes I think about what if I got the opportunity to ask GRRM a question, but part of me is secretly glad I haven’t because I’d probably waste it on something literally no one else cares about.

“So Barba Bracken is totally named after Barbara Villiers, right, Mr. Martin?”

“Mr. Martin, when Gyldayn says that Criston Cole ‘unhorsed both of the celebrated Cargyll twins, Ser Arryk and Ser Erryk of the Kingsguard’ at Maidenpool, does he mean that only Erryk was on the Kingsguard in 104 AC, or both of them were, or neither of them were and Gyldayn is only referencing their future fame as Kingsguard?”

Yeah, I was thinking about how I would come off, and it would be a mix between this guy:

And some mad textbook editor who doesn’t care about any of the main characters and just wants to know what the legal status of the peasantry is, how the judicial system and the tax system works.
