Chapter 38 Let's talk about the relationships and events at the beginning of Game of Thrones
Chapter 38: Sort out the character relationships and events at the beginning of Game of Thrones
Immediately enter the main plot of Game of Thrones. Since there are many characters in the series (more in the original book), some readers may not be able to remember them, so I am posting this single chapter.
According to the classification of the nine major families, other important characters are ranked behind.
1. Dragon Targaryen:
Two people from the eastern continent of Essos: Daenerys, the dragon mother, and Viserys, the sleeping dragon (also called the Beggar King);
Two people from Westeros, Blind Maester Aemon of the Night's Watch and Jon Know-Nothing Snow.
Dragon Mother was sold to the leader of the Dothraki tribe, Khal Drogo, as his wife by Illyrio, the governor of the free trade city of Pentos (the title of this governor is not very powerful, there are many governors in Pentos, but he is actually a businessman)
Khaleesi.
She missed the days when she and William Darry lived in the Red Gate Building in Braavos as a child. At that time, she and her brother Viserys had servants to serve them and had a stable life.
Later, the brother and sister were displaced, but Viserys insisted on instilling in the dragon mother the idea of restoring the country and the true dragon.
Viserys, the sleeping dragon, was very kind to his mother when he was a child. He let her climb into his bed and told her the story of the Seven Kingdoms.
Later, because the rulers of the major city-states did not like the Targaryens very much, they had to wander around. The sleeping dragon also became crazy during this time, and was finally killed by the horse king Drogokar in the holy city of the Dothraki.
Ao poured a golden crown and died.
The relationship between the brother and sister is very sad to read from the original work. Here is an expression from the perspective of Long Ma for everyone to experience:
"For so many years, he has been chased by the usurper's killers, fleeing from one city to another, while begging for help from governors, princes and businessmen, and even relying on flattery in exchange for food. He must have known that they were
How could you look down on him? No wonder he became so irritable, so unapproachable, and finally driven crazy."
The sleeping dragon is also a tragic figure.
Everyone is familiar with Jon Snow. To put it briefly, he is the nephew of Eddard Stark and the second son of Prince Rhaegar (the eldest son is also named Aegon and has died. There is a fake character in the book.
person), according to the law of inheritance, is currently the first heir to the Iron Throne.
Long Ma is Aunt Xue Nuo, her biological aunt.
Aemon, the blind maester of the Night's Watch, was much older. He was the third brother of Aegon V. He was elected king by the Great Council of Nobles in 233, but insisted on being a Night's Watch.
Aegon V's nickname is egg, so he is called Eggy by netizens. His son Jaehaerys II, grandson Mad King Aerys II (the king who was overthrown by Robert), Snow is his grandnephew's grandson.

2. Wolf Stark
All in Westeros: Eddard, Benjen, Robb, Rickon, Bran, Sansa, Arya, Catelyn the Wolf Mother.
Not to mention Ed, Duke of Winterfell and Warden of the North.
His wife Catelyn, the eldest daughter of Lord Hoster of the Tully family of the Riverkeeper, has a friendly relationship with Littlefinger Petyr Baelish, but is extremely stupid and selfish.
Eddard has three sons and two daughters: the eldest son Robb, the second son Bran who was pushed off the tower by Jaime, and the third son Rickon (the Walnut King).
The eldest daughter Sansa (who is extremely pretty and carefree, the first person she falls in love with in the book is the Night's Watchman of the Royce family in the Vale, and the younger of the three Night's Watchmen who appears in the TV series.) has not seen much of the world.
I was fascinated by the colorful world of King's Landing. In the early stage, I was silly and sweet, but in the later stage, I was sinister.
Eddard asked the princess's doll maker to make a doll for his eldest daughter. At first, Sansa didn't care. Later, the battle on the Blackwater River made people panic. Sansa ran back to her residence. The first thing she found was this doll. It still looked very strange.
It's emotional.
In that scene, when the dog brother Sandor Clegane appeared on the camera, I laughed. He was worthy of being my dog brother. It was really hilarious.
The second daughter, Arya (my favorite character, she has the blood of the Wolf), treats everyone equally and likes to take risks. It was great when she killed the Frey family in the series.
The North will never be forgotten!
Robb's motive for sending the army was to ask King's Landing to release his father and sisters, but later Emperor Joffrey got away with it, and the North and the Lannister completely became enemies.
3.Ellin family
This family has the smallest number of people, which is easy to say.
The death of former Prime Minister Jon Arryn was the reason why Robert went north.
Jon Arryn is the adoptive father of Robert and Eddard. In order to consolidate the alliance between the four families of Wolf, Fish, Eagle and Deer, the elder Arryn married Lysa, the second daughter of the Tully family.
So he changed from Ed's adoptive father to Ed's brother-in-law.
Everyone talks about it, there's nothing wrong with it.
Jon Arryn doesn't have many roles, but he has a very charming personality. In the book, he has to feed the horse some apples and carrots when he is tired. The person who looks most like him in the whole show is his adopted son Eddard.
Jon Arryn has an old man, Robin Arryn (called Robert in the book, in memory of the king, so Robin is used here to make it easy to distinguish). At the beginning of the TV series, Lysa sneaked back to the Valley Eagle with Robin.
Nest City.
The biggest source of conflict at the beginning of Game of Thrones is that Lysa poisoned Jon Arryn under Littlefinger's instructions, and then wrote a letter to her sister to blame Lannister.
At the beginning, the Arryns and the Vale were under Lysa's control.
The forces in the valley can be divided into two types. The main war faction headed by Bronze Jon (the current earl of the Royce family, the father of the young night watchman in the opening scene), later formed the Alliance of the Just.
Most of the nobles of the war faction have a good relationship with Ed. If Ed were alive, these forces would not necessarily obey Lysa's command. And Littlefinger regards Lysa and the valley as his own back garden. How could Ed influence him?
Woolen cloth?
Regarding Littlefinger’s little secret in Ed’s Death, I will analyze it later.
The Lord Harmony Faction is mainly composed of the emerging merchant class and small nobles. This faction is also a supporter of Littlefinger (or Littlefinger is their spokesperson).
4. Lion Lannister
Lord Tywin, the richest family in the continent and known as his family governor, poops gold.
Tywin has two sons and one daughter: the golden twins Cersei, Jaime, and the little devil Tyrion.
Needless to say, Cersei is one of the stupidest women in the whole show, and she is inseparable from Robert's death.
She and James gave birth to three children, all of whom were cuckolded by King Robert.
Jaime, the Kingslayer, the man who killed the Mad King.
I have previously deduced that based on the tradition of intermarriage between Targaryen brothers and sisters, and Cersei's crazy character, I speculated that the two are descendants of the Mad King.
If true, then James killed his father with his own hands.
Cersei's biggest secret is about her three children. Theoretically, she should have killed Jon Arryn (because the secret of caste resilience was discovered by the former Prime Minister), but Littlefinger disrupted the situation.
I won’t say much about the other Feng Kai and Lancel.
The little devil is one of my favorite characters. He is just and resourceful. The part where he was judged was simply explosive.
The kidnapping of the little devil in the early stage was the main reason why the Western Region sent troops to station at the inter-river border and the Magic Mountain plundered the banks of the Red Fork River.
It may be that Martin's early setting was not sufficient, but the villages burned by the Mountain in the book are all located in the lower reaches of the Red Fork River, which is close to the God's Eye Lake in King's Landing.
And the Mountain must have dared to do this after receiving orders from Tywin in the West. Then there was no reason for him to cross the Riverlands and run to the east to burn a few villages before crossing the Red Fork.
And there is another question here, where did the Magic Mountain cross the Red Fork River?
If he reaches the area surrounded by the Tengshi River, the Red Fork River, and the Blue Fork River (that is, where the protagonist is), the Magic Mountain may be blocked, because he has to cross the Tengshi River to reach the Lannister family's sphere of influence.
And that area was where the Tully family's vassal troops were concentrated.
If he reaches the area surrounded by the south bank of the Tengshi River and the Red Fork River (that is, the area where Riverrun is located), he will fall into a trap, because the Riverlands are specifically on guard against Vanth in the west, and the Piper family has four thousand troops.
(After Edmure sent these four thousand people away and fled back to the West from the Mountain), they were gathering together to block the Lannister family from crossing the river.
Maybe Martin, like Shi Naian, was confused about the direction.
5. Tyrell of Rose House
In the early stage, the knight Loras, nicknamed the Knight of Flowers, appeared, and his sister Margaery, nicknamed Little Rose.
The Knight of Flowers should be one of the three handsome young men in the show (the other two are Lancel Lannister and Viserys the Sleeping Dragon), a weak man with a strong sense of justice. When he heard that the Magic Mountain was plundering the Red Fork River, people were rushing to grab it.
Going to.
At this time, Ed was foolish. If Baihua participated in the hunt for the Magic Mountain, the Western Region would automatically become the enemy of the Rose Family, and there would be no Battle of the Five Kings.
The political appeal of the Rose family is to marry little Rose Margaery Tyrell to the king. First, Renly planned to let little Rose marry Robert, and then Renly went to Margaery himself.
Later, Margaery married Joffrey, Tommen, etc.
In a word, it doesn't matter who becomes the county magistrate, Margaery just wants to be the county magistrate's wife.
This is related to the short history of the Rose family. Like the Frey family, they always want to cling to a top noble to increase their influence.
6. Fish Tully
Horst, Edmure, Wolf Mother Catelyn, Eagle Mother Lysa.
With two silly daughters, a bad son, and a good uncle like Heiyu who is just and kind, I really don’t know how Horst educates his children.
The conflict between the Fish Family and the Riverlands and the Lannister was the wolf mother kidnapping the little devil.
Hejian was cheated by his pig teammates.
Of course, the Three Rivers Archery God Edmure himself can be considered a pig teammate.
Although Tywin didn't like this dwarf son very much, he still sent out troops for the sake of the family's face. In fact, I feel that the Tully family's motto of "family, responsibility, and honor" is more suitable for Mr. Tywin.
7, Deer Baratheon
An existing claimant to the Iron Throne.
Robert the deer died hunting, and the father-son relationship between him and Emperor Joffrey can be talked about.
It's really ridiculous that two people who have no blood relationship regard each other as their own sons and biological fathers.
After Robert's death, the War of the Five Kings was basically over, and Joffrey was still proud of Robert's achievements.
Moreover, he also heard about his uncle and biological father, but he chose not to believe it. If he really knew the truth, what kind of harm would he cause to the emperor?
Stannis Erlu, the most famous unkind man in the Seven Kingdoms.
There is a very interesting paragraph:
This man who was famous for his unkindness and unkindness shouted in the Seven Kingdoms: "I am not unkind and unkind."
Political demands: Expose the scandals of Cersei and Jaime, and allow him to inherit the Iron Throne according to the law of succession.
His Onion Knights are also very funny, talk nonsense, and are just and kind-hearted.
Sanlu Renli
After Robert's death, his ambitions became extremely high and he proclaimed himself king. With the support of the Rose House in the Reach and the Stormlands, he was the most powerful party before his death (he was killed by Stannis's shadow, not Stannis's).
child).
8. Dorne
There is not much to say, there are basically no people who appeared in the early stage, and the Red Viper, Prince Oberon, is still riding the waves (people at the beach are very particular, and they don’t even need to row a boat when they go out to hang out, they all rely on the waves).
9. Iron Islands
King Balon's two sons died in the Stark family, and his third son, Theon, was adopted as a hostage by Stark.
After the Wolf family released Xion, King Balon decided to send troops to retaliate against the North.
Theon is also one of the most miserable people in the Game of Thrones world. He has experienced the best hostage treatment and the worst hostage treatment.
Of course, I think Theon is the most successfully created character in the TV series. He is one of the few characters in the TV series who has not had a bad character.
10. Everyone in the Imperial Council.
Eunuch Varys, intelligence chief, don’t be confused by the show, Varys has always been partial to the Long family.
Judging from the fact that his lifeblood can drive black magic, he must be of the blood of the Long family. He himself knows this, so he planned to cause chaos in Westeros from the beginning.
Judging from the conversation Arya heard between him and Illyrio, he and the Governor of Pentos have been planning to counterattack Westeros with the help of Khal Drogo and the Golden Company.
The former leader of the Golden Group was the Black Fire family, an illegitimate branch of the Long family. After the Long family lost power, the Golden Group favored the Long family.
He did not participate in the death of Jon Arryn, but he must have known about it.
Littlefinger, Petyr Baelish, Chancellor of the Exchequer.
One thing about him is that he never tells the truth.
I mentioned before that Ed has a huge influence on the valley, and if Ed were alive, the general framework of the four alliances of Wolf, Fish, Eagle and Deer would be in place.
Add the Northern Territory, plus half of the valley between the rivers, plus Dragonstone, plus the Iron Islands, and some Stormlands princes, and you can do it better than the Lannister no matter what.
As for the Rose Family, they are strong enough, but not influential enough. They always just take sides and never stand out.
If Eddard were around, Renly would most likely wait and see before deciding whether to claim the throne.
At that time, most of the four alliances will fight in the Western Region, and they will be far from the chaos of the War of Five Kings.
How could Littlefinger allow such a huge change, so even if Emperor Joffrey didn't kill Eddard, Eddard would definitely die on the way back to the North.
Coincidentally, if Joffrey had not killed Eddard, according to Cersei's plan, Eddard would have put on black clothes and become a night watchman.
Among this line of night watchmen, there happens to be a top killer, the faceless man Jia Kun.
After thinking about it, Littlefinger tried his best to prevent Robert from using the faceless men to assassinate Daenerys at the royal council. There is a clue here.
As for the lack of money Littlefinger said, that's bullshit. In fifteen years, he spent six million gold dragons and the savings left by Mad King Aerys II to hire a faceless man. How could it be more?
You know, if Daenerys's child is born, it will really threaten the rule of the Baratheon Dynasty.
Therefore, I judge that Jia Kun is Littlefinger’s back-up man to kill Ed.
What's more, there is some personal grudge here, as Caitlin is Littlefinger's first love.
Grand Maester Pycelle.
There is no doubt that it was the Lion Lannister who suggested to the Mad King to open the gates of King's Landing and let the Lion army enter the city.
11. Final review of the death of Jon Arryn
There is no doubt that the poison was administered by Lysa, the wife of the former Prime Minister.
Littlefinger gave her orders, and Lysa carried them out.
I think the lion family, Varys and other dragon family members all knew this process, but no one said it out loud.
But what is very strange is the death of Shufu, an attendant of the Ying family.
Lysa was the one who poisoned her, and Xiufu was not suspected at all, but he was still shot to death by the Mountain during the tournament.
This is definitely no coincidence.
The most likely possibility is that Xiufu knew about Lysa's poisoning and was bribed by Littlefinger to keep his mouth shut.
But with Littlefinger’s IQ, it’s impossible to just make this move.
If the Lion family and the Wolf family can't fight, then Westeros can't be in chaos either.
So Hugh is the key to accusing the Lion family of poisoning Jon Arryn.
The Lion family was also vaguely aware of Littlefinger's behavior, so they directly killed Xiufu without any evidence.
Of course, Cersei doesn't have this IQ, but old Pycelle might.
There are three players in the Game of Thrones: Lion, Littlefinger, and Dragon Varys, with Littlefinger being the most active.
The rest of the Deer family, Eagle family, Wolf family, and Rose family are the targets of play in King's Landing.
The series of events in the early stage were basically caused by Little Finger.
Although Littlefinger was well prepared, he was not half as smart as Emperor Joffrey.
He beheaded Ed directly, leaving Jia Kun with no use for his backhand.
This also makes Jia Kun's appearance in the Men in Black team seem inexplicable.
The above is all based on the memory in my head. If there is anything wrong, please point it out in time.
