May 25, 2016 at 8:12 | comment | added | sampathsris | @Dancrumb: About the red wedding; Yes, it was Walder Frey's hand, but the man behind is Tywin Lannister. Tywin did it to cement the rule over the North. | |
May 25, 2016 at 5:15 | comment | added | M.M | add to the example list, assassination of Balon Greyjoy by Euron Greyjoy | |
May 24, 2016 at 18:03 | comment | added | Arnaud D. | By the way I think the point is not only to kill opponents but mostly to kill those that could be seen as more legitimate than him. I would also add two example to the answer : the murder of Elia and Aegon Targaeryen by The Mountain, and Joffrey having all of Robert's bastards killed in Season 2. | |
May 24, 2016 at 17:59 | comment | added | Arnaud D. | @ToddWilcox no, he was indeed killed by his wife. She mentions this (and more importantly, that Littlefinger told her to do so!) in season 4, episode 5 or 6 I think, when Littlefinger and Sansa arrive at the Vale. I think Pycelle also reveals when Tyrion has him thrown in a cell that Cersei told him not to save Jon Arryn, but the Lannisters did not kill him themselves. | |
May 24, 2016 at 15:58 | comment | added | kuhl | I think a more relaxant example would be a situation where someone ascended to the throne and then assassinated rivals, rather than just showing that people kill to get ahead. Overall a good answer though. Welcome to the site! | |
May 24, 2016 at 15:30 | comment | added | Xiokraze | Obviously we can go into detail and semantics concerning each one, but the examples given attest to someone dying in order to further the power of another. I would argue each one "cemented" the power of another aside from 9. | |
May 24, 2016 at 15:23 | comment | added | Dancrumb | In fairness, a number of these are not about cementing power. 6 was largely revenge (with some nudging from one seeking to cement power). 9 was definitely revenge. 10 was straight up seizing of power, not cementing. 15 was largely self-preservation. | |
