Tyrion discovers that Little Finger has been running the books and the number don't match up in Clash, on top of the mess he's made by doing deals, trading money back and forth between Houses and making everyone indebted to each other, but particularly indebted the crown to the iron bank and Tywin Lannister. We know Little Finger isn't inept at all and it's being done intentionally. Therefore regardless of if Robert held a tourney every single year since he took over, it's only been 10 years, and it's clear Little Finger is filtering money away from the crowns finances and spending it in loans, and other ways to plunge the the Seven kingdoms into debt and additional chaos, therefore it's not Robert's spending that's the problem, it's that his small council members are being left to their own devices and schemes, with little to no oversight.

Master of war was created by cersei, and didn't exist before that as far as I know

[@KitGusta]

There is no master of war, at least as far as i know. The closest there is to that title is the Lord Commander of the Kingsguard, since they are generally tasked with the command of the king's military forces in times of war. However, the Hand of the King come close to that too, since in times of war the Hand serves almost like a marshal. Oh, and also, there is the honorary title of "Protector of the realm", wich is the title that gives a man complete control of the Armies under the King, this title is generally held by the king himself, unless he is not fit to command his own armies. Like for instance, King Aegon during the Dance of Dragon after being wounded in battle, gave the title of Protector of the realm to his younger brother, Aemond, to command his army alongside lord commander Criston Cole. And also Queen Rhaenyra, who made her husband, King Consort Daemon Targaryen as lord protector and he led her armies alongside her hand of the King, Lord Corlys Velaryon. Also the Master of Ships is an additional militar advisor for the king, since they are in command of all the Royal fleet, in fact, Stannis Baratheon place as Master of Ships was something that greatly helped him during the war of Five kings, since before Leaving Kingslanding after Jon Arryn death, Stannis took almost the whole Royal fleet with him, since he had total control of them.

It's interesting to notice that, although it's not really talked much about on the show, on the books Stannis is considered a master naval commander, in fact, some even believe that if he was in charge of the ships during the battle of Blackwater Bay he could've saved most of his ships, however, to appease his servants of his wife familly, he gave command of the ships to a cousin/brother of his wife, however the man wasn't very experienced and sent Stannis fleet to Tyrion Ambush. Stannis on the books was almost single handly responsible for the defeat of the Greyjoys during the Greyjoy rebelion too, it's in fact his greatest feat, the man was able to crush the Iron fleet under the command of Victarion Greyjoy, considered by many one of the greatest naval commanders who ever lived (Although Stannis had help from the Redwyne fleet, one of the three naval super powers of westeros). Stannis could be a great master of laws too, he would break the corruption of the Gold Cloaks (Although on the books it's said that he and Jon Arryn tried to do that), but it wouldn't make him near as effective as acting as master of ships, as like i said, the man was a beast commanding on the sea. I dare to say that Stannis is close to Allyn Velaryon and Corlys Velaryon as admiral.

Ugh, I can't stand Pycelle!! I weirdly prefer Qyburn, which is messed up, now that I wrote it down.

[@BennyOkay]

How is the hand of the king similar to the Vice President? They wouldn’t take over in the event of the Kings death unless specifically ordered

[@arthurteixeira9866]

And yet season 8 creates the position of Master of War

[@matthewhatfield9535]

Arthur Teixeira // Pretty sure Cersei came up with that for Kevan Lannister prior to the High Sparrow storyline. Still fabricated it from thin air, just earlier.

[@arthurteixeira9866]

Matthew Hatfield you’re right! She did created it to have a certain advantage over Kevan! D&D kinda of forgot that it was a empty position

[@coryscamihorn1811]

I don't know that Vice-President is the right analogue for Hand of the King, more like Chief-of-Staff.

[@MrRampp]

Hand of the King is more like a hybrid of Chief of Staff and VP.

[@nobertmathonsi7317]

What about the master of war

[@elmarsadigov2537]

Master of whispers was made by Aerys II made. Otherwise that is replaced by Master of War i think.

[@arunsingla3452]

Nah master of whispers existed before then. Only one position that was made was master of wars by cersei

[@Jonathan-ww9en]

Hand of the king: Tyrion Lord commander: Jon snow Grand master: Samwell Tarly Master of coin: dk Master of wisperers: bran stark Master of ships: Theons sister I forgot her name Master of laws: ser Davos

[@matthewgilbride8212]

The hand of the king is nothing like vice president but it's a lot like prime minister

[@danigpaid3721]

Varys: The Master of Whispers Pycelle: The Master of Whiskers

[@madambutterfly1997]

Hopefully Aurane Waters is on the list most likely allies to Dany. but seeing as how most Targaryen loyalists in Westeros are already dead, it might be too much of an ask

[@georgebardsley7129]

0:07 More like Prime Minster

[@admin.slayerenryu]

King and Queen (both equal in power): Jon Snow (Aegon Targaryen) and Daenerys Targaryen *Hand of the King* : Tyrion Lannister King's Guard: Jorah Mormont, Brienne of Tarth, The Hound, Bronn, Daario, Syrio Forrel and Arrya Stark. *Lord Commander* : Barristan Selmy and/or Robb Stark *Grand Maester* : Aemon Targaeryen *Master of Coin* : Samwell Tarly *Master of Whispers* : Bran Stark *Master of Ships* : Davos Seaworth *Master of Laws* : Ollena Tyrell

[@77777Spooky]

Hand of the King is more like a chief of staff than a vice president.

[@RedCloudGawdian]

Oberyn's eldest daughter is Obara

[@aaroni5074]

Small council house. Small council flat. Small council estate.

[@marioflores646]

Beside Ned when was the last time a northman was on the small council?

[@arunsingla3452]

Probably cregan stark who remained hand of the king for 6 days during aegon the third rules and cleaned up the mess than aegon the second and rhenyera's civil war has caused

[@christophertracy7136]

Barristan the Bold is still alive in the books and is serving Queen Daenerys Targaryen and is ready 2 go 2 war. The Battle of Fire 🔥. Viserion and Rhaegal escaped the pyramid of Meereen.

[@Britishbjornis]

The hand of the king is more like a Prime Minster tbh

[@emilkjellberg9043]

Can you talk about the books smal kounsel

[@weatherby1982]

you missed one......the master bait tour.
