"Bad luck, pals"? Worse, it's setting a dangerous precedent to give lands to outcasts and foreign rabble.

Even if the Golden Company would have been willing to come over without a deal to restore their lands to them, there'd have ben a lot of soldiers in Westeros then who laid claim to different castles. Bronn, basically, except 10,000 of him. Thanks for the great answer! <br />Looking forward to next Theory Thursday.Rick Rocktopusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1758815004886180861.post-54907374573643778422015-01-15T22:22:35.546+01:002015-01-15T22:22:35.546+01:00It would have been yet another bullshit move in a ...It would have been yet another bullshit move in a series of bullshit moves by Aerys. Let me remind you that the land those guys from the Golden Company lay their claims on is in the possession of other families, in the most parts for generations already! Do you want to gift your enemies with the biggest propaganda coup ever? "Hey, the Mad King brings over foreign rabble to take away your land and to rape your daughters!" It would set a terrible precedent and drive even more guys into Robert's camp, which stakes its legitimacy on the claim that the Mad King breaks the law and that no one is safe. Giving away land from the Reach to mercenaries from Essos? That's madness. (I know. "No. This! Is! Aerys!"

"Hey I know we've had our differences in the past but.." He could have restored them to their lands. Certainly they may not have been interested in serving the Mad King, but it would have been smart of him.David Neffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11508399216727321151noreply@blogger.com
