In the scene where the Brotherhood Without Banners is accusing Sandor of all the crimes of the Lannisters in the Riverlands, there are people repeatedly referred to with terms like “Goodman X” and “Goodman Y”, does that reflect some kind of class position or is it just a courtesy?
Both!
Do you think King Maegor died after his trial of seven and was resurrected in a way similar to Cat? And that this was a cause or at least a great magnifier of his sadistic and violent tendencies? Its an interesting look at the effect of this on a persons character in any case.
I was more likely to think so prior to “Sons of the Dragon.” Now, I’m more skeptical.
A+J != C and J?
QED.
Any thoughts on that weird (possibly fake?) GRRM interview that got posted on Reddit this morning?
Haven’t seen it.
Wrt the anon’s Duskendale question – they specifically mention ‘Tywin [besieging] Duskendale’, so I think they’re probably talking about the Defiance (which Tarly is never mentioned as having been involved in, I think), not the Wot5K’s Battle at Duskendale (in which Tarly had the command).
Ah. Well, the WOIAF says that:
“Lord Tywin thus sent out riders and ravens, gathering forces…Lord Tywin would not chance it. Instead, with a sizable host, he moved to surround Duskendale, blockading it by land and by sea.”
We know that the Kingsguard were there, the fact that Duskendale was blockaded by sea means that the Royal Navy was there, but the fact that Tywin used both short- and long-ranged communications suggests that he went beyond the king’s own bannermen, and probably called up his own Westermen (if you’re going to put Duskendale to the sword, relying on Crownlanders to do it is potentially dangerous), maybe some Riverlanders given the regional proximity.
Whith what army/host did Tywin bessiege Duskendale? His Westermen in Kings Landing? The city watch? Or Crownlands forces?
A detachment from the Reach forces under Randyll Tarly and a detachment from the Westermen under Gregor Clegane.
Since you’ve read Lies, have you also read Red Seas Under Red Skies and Republic of Thieves?
Yep.
have you read the lies of locke lamora? if so, can i ask you some worldbuilding/Feudal questions on this books?
Yes! And yes!
Why did Daeron II Targaryen marry off two of his sons to a Dondarrion and a Penrose? Wouldn’t a Baratheon have been better?
Specifically because I think he wanted to divide the Marcher Lords of the Stormlands so that they wouldn’t be a coherent political bloc as they had been in the reign of Aegon IV.
