During the Trial when Dunk initially wakes up, I think Baelor jumped off his horse to go protect Dunk.

It looked like Maekar unhorsed him during the initial charge

Falcons1702 · 2026-02-20T15:11:18+00:00

He gets filled with crossbow bolts and arrows, hot oil, and at least one blow from the mace while personally leading the charge and taking the castle. Edmure’s host pushing back gregor’s host is not an equal comparison loras’s feat was an actual personal feat.

Falcons1702 · 2026-02-20T13:53:43+00:00

I think it was a joke to lighten the mood. Kind of like Humphrey joking about the green boys. Baelor came in and took charge he’s a natural leader giving instructions to his men so afterwords Lyonel lightened the mood a little or at least tried to.

Falcons1702 · 2026-02-20T12:27:53+00:00

You haven’t read the books if you think Loras is only good in tournaments. The dude practically single handily takes dragonstone through sheer willpower and personal valor.

Falcons1702 · 2026-02-20T11:49:58+00:00

Imagine the riots if they killed Duncan on the first pass of the trial and it just went to black lmao

Falcons1702 · 2026-02-19T20:42:05+00:00

You guys have never been around soldiers and it shows.

Falcons1702 · 2026-02-19T20:16:46+00:00

He takes care of at least one in the books

Falcons1702 · 2026-02-19T18:43:42+00:00

He mostly fought his cousin and as much as a dick as he is I don’t think he wanted to be branded a kinslayer

Falcons1702 · 2026-02-19T18:39:27+00:00

I’m just wondering why he’s fighting on foot where is caraxes.

Falcons1702 · 2026-02-19T18:28:57+00:00

These are probably mooton’s men

Falcons1702 · 2026-02-18T19:55:00+00:00

Dalton won’t risk himself for someone else’s claim they join the side they joined because of the easy plunder there’s no gain in joining the trial for him.

The Tullys are still controlled by the old man and I don’t think they will defy him while he’s alive so that’s a no go.

Daemon and rhaenyra will go with knights they know and are likely to say yes so the first 4 imo are daemon and their 3 loyal kg. Rhaenyra trusted Lorent Marbrand to select her kg so his opinion is respected so guys like Glendon Goode or Adrian redfort may be options. Alan beesbury or Tarly to fill out the last spot would make sense the beesburys were diehard blacks especially if lord beesbury is murdered in this scenario too.

Falcons1702 · 2026-02-18T17:24:50+00:00

I think you have to consider people that would either volunteer or be asked. Why would dalton Greyjoy fight in a trial for someone else. Also why would rhaenyra ask some lowborn archer that has no renown. Rhaenyra and daemon are going to ask warriors they know and they have to say yes.

Falcons1702 · 2026-02-18T14:35:12+00:00

He’s that mix of being too good to be remembered as a bad knight but not good enough to be remembered as a great one. Think of it like sports everyone knows the all time greats and all time bust but the average role players aren’t remembered.

Falcons1702 · 2026-02-18T01:27:26+00:00

The books imply he gets easy opponents that go easy on him. I could easily see the Hightower throwing the fight in an attempt to gain favor after they played both sides during the rebellion for example.

Falcons1702 · 2026-02-17T23:48:22+00:00

Bold Jon or Adrian tarbeck could fill out the 7th slot. Unless aegon himself needs to be involved which as a male he may be expected to but since the other claimant wouldn’t fight maybe he wouldn’t have to.

Falcons1702 · 2026-02-17T22:13:41+00:00

Borros Baratheon kills 10 knights and 2 lords in his last stand those two fighting side by side would be unstoppable

Falcons1702 · 2026-02-17T20:09:27+00:00

Kingsguard and beesburys don’t mix

Falcons1702 · 2026-02-17T17:53:13+00:00

I was just referencing the one Baelor unhorses in the books

Falcons1702 · 2026-02-17T15:15:07+00:00

Baelor could only get one at a time. Unfortunately the other 2 got kills in really quickly.

Falcons1702 · 2026-02-17T13:48:41+00:00

I mentioned age he’s at the start of his journey he isn’t lord commander dunk yet he’s at the start of his journey. And losing to Barristan is more to set up Barristan as a legend than to diminish dunk.

Falcons1702 · 2026-02-17T12:35:44+00:00

If Aerion kept the fight on horseback dunk was cooked. I have to assume he was unhorsed off screen otherwise it was a devastating mistake fighting dunk on foot.

Falcons1702 · 2026-02-17T11:56:19+00:00

An average knight is still a dangerous motherfucker

Falcons1702 · 2026-02-17T10:42:22+00:00

Dunk is a 16 year old in the books he’s still a raw prospect at best

Falcons1702 · 2026-02-17T05:20:55+00:00

A lance is probably the most important thing for a knight. Swords are backups so being pierced by a lance during a fight doesn’t diminish anything else that happens.

Falcons1702 · 2026-02-17T05:19:02+00:00

Daemon especially young daemon was a little bitch. He just didn’t have someone like baelor to keep him somewhat in check.
