| Mar 30, 2018 at 11:33 | comment | added | Aegon | Furthermore, given your choice of accepted answer, we can assume that you prefer books answer? FWIW, the Jaime vs Ned duel is noted in the other question as well. | |
| Mar 30, 2018 at 11:32 | comment | added | Aegon | @USFBS Hi, This question was closed as dupe of that question because they have the same answer (See your accepted answer) and that question is broader so it can be used to close all future Ned Vs X type questions. That fact that it is older is irrelevant the way I see it is. Dupes aren't a bad thing, this is not done as an insult to you. This is done purely just to make sure that the Broader question remains valid for the future dupes. | |

It's Jaime, not Jamie + removed unnecessary brackets

| May 29, 2015 at 16:06 | comment | added | yondaime008 | @MarkRogers If i was to take a wild guess, i'd put all the 7 knights of the kingsguard first, then the list of the tourney winners maybe, and then i'll put Eddard Stark, after all, don't forget a lord is taught how to wield a sword as a child but once he assumes the responsibilities of a lord, he no longer has the same time to practice, unlike the full-time knights (such as the kingsguard) that their sole purpose of life is fighting. | |
| May 29, 2015 at 16:04 | comment | added | USFBS | @MarkRogers But swordsmanship is much like a sport, in that, the better you are (e.g. the higher your skill) the more likely you are to be victorious. I'm not trying to make this a "Oh man, Ned has like a 100 in the Two-handed skill" affair, more like "Well, he beat swordsman x, y, & z" or "Ned consistently does these awesome feats of swordplay". For this question to be adequately answered, in my mind, there will need to be specific examples from the canon that show his skill or lack thereof. | |
| May 29, 2015 at 15:50 | comment | added | Mark Rogers | In real life, things aren't like Dragonball where everyone has a specific powerlevel and that determines who wins. Most fights in real life have a high degree of randomness, on one day one guy will win and on the next the other. | |
| May 29, 2015 at 15:42 | comment | added | TLP | There is nothing in the books anywhere that indicates that Ned is more than an average swordsman. The only thing that one could use is the fight against Jaime in King's Landing, where he lost, and the fight against Aerys's 3 kingsguard at the Tower of Joy, and we know of no details from that fight, only that Ned claims Howland Reed saved his life. | |

| May 29, 2015 at 15:30 | comment | added | Nika G. | Only Howland Reed can reveal truth. Hope he makes it in the upcoming books and tells in details what really happened during Showdown at the Tower of Joy | |

| May 29, 2015 at 15:15 | comment | added | USFBS | @Theik But I'm not asking who would win in a fight. Heck, I'm not even really asking if Ned is better. I was just looking to see if there was evidence to support that Ned is in the top x% of swordsman in Westeros. Regardless of the difficultly of gauging one's skill, we seem to have become pretty decent at it considering that they do it every day on ESPN. Again, I'll just say that I'm looking to see if there is anything to back up the claim that Ned is a damn good swordsman. | |
| May 29, 2015 at 15:12 | comment | added | Theik | These kinds of questions are really hard to answer, as a swordfight between equally good swordsmen can swing either way and even a worse swordsmen can beat a better swordsmen on a good day. It's not an RPG where you have a level 1 vs a level 20 fighter and one is clearly always going to win. | |
| May 29, 2015 at 14:57 | comment | added | yondaime008 | Great question ! Although I strongly believe he isn't more than good, i'm curious to see the answer to this one ! | |
| May 29, 2015 at 14:39 | comment | added | Daft | It would probably be Jamie in hand-to-hand but Ned if they were commanding armies. | |
| May 29, 2015 at 14:37 | comment | added | Thomas | The only hint that Ned was a very good swordsman is the rebellion war, where he won every encounter. But this only proves that he is good at commanding armies. I think I remember that he won some tourney in his youth. But this is the same for Jamie, he never was in a duel beside tourneys and he even never commanded armies before they fight each other. | |
