    It's a strong testament to Barristan Selmy's renown that when he was dismissed from Joffrey Baratheon's Kingsgaurd, Renly and Stannis left a position open in their respective Kingsguards for Ser Barristan. King Renly finally gave the position to Brienne of Tarth.

    Knowing all his achievements, I understand why the actor who played him in the show was pissed about his premature death.

      I think he was as selfish and hypocritical as most of the important people in King's Landing.
      He betrayed his King as much as Jamie did by joining the usurper, instead of following the remaining Targeryan family. Only when he was removed from the King's guard, when his comfortable delousing life ended, did he find the strength to go East.

  • @BasementPepperoni
    @BasementPepperoni Год назад +2

    Barristan Selmy is one of the ULTRA RARE characters in this world who has served and fought in the service of 3 to 4 different Kings, and their Regimes. He is also one of the few people in ASOIAF who is personally responsible for changing the world, and ending feuds that lasted generations.
    I mean, imagine how different Westeros would be if he never rescued The Mad King from Duskendale and Raegar became king in 277 AC. There most likely would have never been a Civil War since Raegar being a King would most likely have "Rights" over choosing whom he wants to marry, and IF Lyanna was even betrothed to Robert at this time, it would have been called off......right?
    Also with him personally ending the last Blackfire Rebellion on the Stepstones was a HUGE win for him. If Maelys Blackfire would have escaped, he could have just visited a brothel in Lys, and knocked up half of the dam "Pleasure House", resulting in who knows how many more bastards and future "Kings" trying to stake their claim.

    With the way Barristan stood by while Aerys committed his atrocities because it was his 'duty', I wonder if Jofferey didn't get rid of him, would Barristan have just stood by again as Jofferey beat Sansa? Would his conscience have caught up to him? He didn't do anything before with Rhaella, and duty prevailed over honor and justice under Aerys' reign, so why not under Jofferey's?.......

      Aren't they technically invaders and Ser Barristan would be defending the keep anyway? Or was there a surrender by this point?

    Ser Barristan's story is really sad. He lived the life of a heroic knight, the embodiment of the ideals in songs that're so rarely reflected in truth, and despite all of his heroics and great deeds, he looks back with shame. His reward for being Barristan the Bold was regret, for not having bested Raegar. He blamed himself for the rebellion (and probably for Raegar's dead childen, by extension) and for Ashara Dayne's death for "not being good enough" despite being one of the greatest knights who ever lived.

    Turncoat, Traitor, took the easy path his whole life
    Less honour than Lefty Lannister
    Should have took the Black after surviving the Trident (Ser Alister Thorne was forced to)
    Turned a Blindeye to Jaime & Cersei's Twincest Bastards (or choose not to see)
    Should have tried to rescue Ned Stark from the Black cells (had time to fill out the white book) OR Fought for Rob
    OR held his Oath to Robert Baratheon - Head of House Baratheon- and Serve Stannis as the True Heir
    Goes to serve Danny instead - his oath to the Targs ended the day he was Pardoned and knelt to and Joined Robert's Kingsguard, If not, could have gone to Danny and Viserys when they were children and helped Ser Willem Darry protect them - but there wasn't a nice white cloak and a comfy bed doing that then.

    Right then in there I am so surprised that Tywin would ever allow Jamie to join the kings guard forsaking his name sake and legacy. In Tywin’s mind it was probably all temporary and another part of his long term game of actually ruling and calling the shots regardless of who is king.

    Is it just me or does anyone else think that the way the show killed off Sir Barristan is total BS. I mean he bragged that he could cut down all the other Kingsguard, and they were all afraid of him. He is widely considered of the best swordsman alive in Westeros. But he gets slaughtered in some back alley by the stupid Son's of the Harpy who aren't even great warriors.
    This is worse than the discrepancy between the descriptions of the Unsullied fighting prowess in the books and how easy they are killed on the show.
