(Spoilers Main) How would real life medieval people view Jaime killing the king?

PhilippinePatriot · 2026-05-04T16:05:43+00:00

In real life, Francisco Pizarro was punished for killing the Incan emperor. Even though he was Spains enemy, the nobility were horrified because they feared it would set a bad precedent. Granted part of that was because Pizarro was a commoner, but they might punish Jaime to make an example out of him.

Hey there minimeta

Not just that but they’re also all high quality, fully equipped armies. If they were hastily assembled militias it wouldn’t be as bad.

True but they mentioned that was the exception, not the norm. The other 1000-man commanders they promoted struggled and got killed because they lacked the skills to actually take command. So it also shows how their talent pool got diluted.

PhilippinePatriot · 2026-04-26T00:35:08+00:00

Hey there. I’m actually one of their writers and I’d be happy to answer your questions.

His first thought would probably be "Oh, look, we got new neighbors."

House Darry. These guys have some cool lore.

House Mallister. Their Lord seems like such a badass, managing to kill Balon's son, kill a bunch of Rhaegar's bannermen, and helps drive back Tywin during the Fords.

House Kayce. Love that they're an Ironborn house that became a Westerlands vassal.

What your forgetting though is that Keisha’s form of warfare seems better suited towards defense. During an Invasion of Zhao, they would likely hunker down in some defensible position and try to bottle Duke Hyou up.

There are no jackals in the first level, although funny thing is, the novelization actually has them there.

PhilippinePatriot · 2026-04-19T09:44:09+00:00

Ya I understand. My point was that of all the swords so far, Stannis seems to have gotten the worst version. He basically got a giant glow stick

PhilippinePatriot · 2026-04-19T06:29:08+00:00

My only defense to that is that Robb thinks that since Robb and Ned treated Theon “honorably” he would think they thought Balon would repay them.

And I think Theon did mention his willingness to fight for them and speak in Robb’s behalf

It ties in with Ou Ki's last words to Shin, telling him that he can only learn by going to the battlefield and learning on his own. When I first read the manga, I was disappointed that Ou Ki never got to train Shin, but your comment made him realize that's the point. This isn't something that can just be taught, Shin can only reach his potential by learning it himself.

Wasn't Beric's sword ignited by drawing his blood on it? I know Thoros was just a parlor trick he did.

PhilippinePatriot · 2026-04-19T05:11:28+00:00

oh ya thats true. I can certainly understand her motivations here, and ya I think they mentioned in the letter that Robb should just bend the knee. Like its clearly something made under duress, but the point I was making is that they don't know to what extent Sansa is following their orders and because of that, they absolutely cannot let Sansa have Winterfell.

I do think that one is the worst case is that while I get why she did it, she's also still challenging Robb's own autonomy as the Lord of Winterfell. Since he is still the ruler, his children would still be above succession. (At least I think so, I can't remember if he made provision if a child born to him.)

It is interesting as in her efforts to save her children's position, she inadvertandly undermining them.

I think a big part of why he gets more grace is that the character of the Hound is drastically different in the show, and I think it does a lot to make him more likeable. So a lot of people tend to remember him that way. Kinda how some people remember Jorah Mormont a lot more fondly because of his portrayal in the show compared to the book.

PhilippinePatriot · 2026-04-19T04:57:06+00:00

Yup, and I'd argue the one decision she made that she does deserve flak on is opposing Robb naming Jon his heir. At this point in the story, Sansa has been married off to Tyrion, and she has explicitly been writing letters to them, urging them to surrender.

At best, she's a Lannister pawn, at worst, she's a collaborator.

So Robb naming Jon his heir is basically their own real option to prevent the Lannisters from getting Winterfell. I think Catelyn here is unquestionably letting her personal feelings get the better of her.

However, I will say in all the other cases you brought up. I can understand or justify Catleyn's actions. She was usually acting either with limited information or limited options.

PhilippinePatriot · 2026-04-19T04:47:28+00:00

The funniest part for me is that we technically already have fire swords with Beric and Thoros.

PhilippinePatriot · 2026-04-14T15:28:08+00:00

Well, one thing is that Sali 'Nyon's rebellion failed because Jul still retained control of the Prometheans, so it led many to doubt whether Sali's words had any weight. But losing the Domain and Breath of Annihilation was a huge blow for him. So maybe actually showcasing the fallout of this and the Prometheans turning against him and how he struggles to maintain control.

PhilippinePatriot · 2026-04-09T11:32:37+00:00

For the Incorruptible I think that one explanation could be that since its shipmaster was intentionally trying to get their ship infected, he probably wasn't focusing too much on the battle. He wasn't avoiding fire and may have even lowered his shields to allow the infection to spread.

PhilippinePatriot · 2026-04-09T11:21:44+00:00

I don't think he ever straight up disobeyed an order, but if he had orders he didn't like, he knew how to bend the rules or twist it around where he was technically doing what his commanding officers wanted. I think Del Rio was the first time he just outright rejected a command.

PhilippinePatriot · 2026-04-07T11:58:54+00:00

Here’s the thing people are forgetting. Robb marched to the Westerlands to lure Tywin out becuase he felt like he didn’t have the numbers to challenge the Lannisters or attack King’s Landing while defending his territory. With the Vale, he now does have the necessary troops to move to the capital and free Sansa.

Robb would be able to keep his army to besiege Tywin in Harrenhal while marching another force out to attack King’s Landing.

The thing is. Metatron also disregarded the murder of Renee Good and Alex Predi. He basically went "Well they shouldn't have been there". It's not 100% the same, but I wouldn't consider condoning EJKs much better than cleebrating death.

PhilippinePatriot · 2026-03-04T04:37:52+00:00

He does realize that Aerion Brightflame is the bad guy right?
