@@DutchMadness77 the brotherhood without banners predates Beric Dondarion and Thoros of Myr. It even predates Robert Baratheons rule as king. During a scene in season 1 Jamie Lannister is asked by King Robert who the first person he killed was. Jamie answers "one of the outlaws from the brotherhood" Baristan Selmy who was also present reminisces that Jamie was only a squire at the time. Given that at the time he killed Arys Targaryan Jamie was an anointed knight and a full member of the kingsguard One can accurately assume the brotherhood was active during the mad kings reign. Add to this both Beric and Thoros were at points in service to Robert. Thoros at the siege of Pyke during the Greyjoy rebellion and beric as you see in the video

@HisShadow you have a point but I still don't think he could have survived much longer because his incentive for honour lingers on foolishness. You tell me, would you go to your enemy and tell her exactly how you are going to attack her to give her a chance to flee? We all love him, no doubt on that. But he just doesn't have it in him to rule the whole westeros. You may argue that he ruled north for years which is almost half of westeros. That is true but the north is filled with honourable men, it's their culture. That is not the case for the rest of the kingdoms. You need certain shrewdness to rule all the kingdoms and honestly, who would get into the mess of managing a whole mother effing country which is filled till brim by mother effing people.

Ned Stark gets a taste of power.. and a formidable king he would have been, too! I wonder if this is when Little Finger realized he had to be gotten rid of if he wanted no competition.

He had to corrupt him or get rid of him. Had Eddard been a little more "morally flexible" in regards to Littlefinger's suggestions, I think Littlefinger would've seen an able partner in his plans. Remember, he does like Catelyn Stark and does give him a solution...a very dishonorable one, but a solution. Had Eddard become king with Littlefinger as his hand, that probably would've worked OK for Littlefinger, at least for the time being. It was a win-win for Littlefinger.

[@grahamyodude]

Ned Stark is the perfect example of a man who wins by playing by the rules. He is completely oblivious to how many snakes are around him. The snakes absolutely hate him because they all cheat to move up in status and he makes them look terrible. When Ned Stark beats Tywin Lannister, he actually loses because he doesn't realize the snakes want the Lannisters to win since the Lannisters are also cheaters and are easier to control than the Starks. The snakes then conspire against the Starks to keep the Lannisters in power so they can play the game without rules and honor.

In the books, after this scene; when he was thrown into the dungeon, he dreamed the past, that what happened in the tower of joy and why did he have to be so loyal to his friend Robert. You guys believe his pride blinded him and that got him to death. People do many honorless deeds to keep their lives, but honorable men don't. A day without honour is worse than a long life. They know no other way. "I grew up with soldiers, I learned how to die a long time ago."

Bold, brave and a tad reckless yes, but not stupid. He knew that it wouldn't be easy and he knew that going against the Lannisters would be brazen. He couldn't let Gregor Clegane get away with this and believed it to be the right thing to challenge him. "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing", so maybe from his point of view it was stupid to do nothing.

[@Scoonertuna]

I agree. Ned Stark showed Tywin Lannister that the lion could not dictate terms of the seven kingdoms, no matter how much of kings landing was in his pocket. Tywin Lannister had underminded the law for too long and Ned finally called him out on it.

[@JB-xl2jc]

He did the right thing here, the stupid part was not doing the necessary backroom work to make it stick. Taking hostages, using blackmail or murder, these things are antithetical to Ned's nature, and that glaring weakness got him killed. If he had maneuvered better BEFORE making this big play, GOT would've been a very different show.

[@bruhvenant]

@@JB-xl2jc yes, I've always felt the thing to take away from Ned was that he had unimpeachable morals, but bad tactics. To do right in the world, one has to be willing to get their hands dirty. That doesn't mean go killing on a whim or anything, it just means to be practical. All Ned had to do was take Cersei and kids hostage, he didn't have to hurt them, just lock them in a cushy room that he held the key to. But he failed because his admirable morals got in the way of practical matters and he simply didn't consider the possibilities enough. He was the perfect leader for the North where the culture venerates people such as him, but ill-suited for King's Landing.

[@TechnologicallyTechnical]

Robert: "Hope Ned doesn't do anything drastic while I'm away..." Ned: "Kill the Hound, bring Tywin Lannister before the court, send Jaime Lannister to the wall, hang Tyrion Lannister, discontinue all purchases and return what we can until we've paid our debts to the Iron Bank, the Tyrells, and the Lannisters, and once we are able to afford them, the Red Keep is to be fitted with air-conditioning units in each room. Also Brothels are now banned."

Unfortunately those very qualities would be why they'd never work together. Ned's sense of honor would prevent him from working with someone like Tywin, and Tywin's calculating nature would mean he could never be trusted.

He was right. He knew it. Despite also knowing the rejection and resistance he would face. He only followed his duty, to the book, and did it with honor and dignity, with no fear of repercussions. He indeed fulfilled his duty, better than most. Rip Ned.

[@dubbeking]

I like the reactions from everyone. Taking such an enormous action against Gregor, and by extension Tywin Lannister, is probably unheard of in the capital. Badass, but also shows how Ned didn't really belong or understand how things worked south.

[@oscarbautista4156]

I mean, everyone knows that tywin has the power to take the city at any time if he wants to, he already did it once (sack of kings landing)... Challenging tywin is basically a war declaration

[@maheryand8894]

I also used to think that this showed how Ned didn't understand how things worked. But actually, I wonder if this wasn't a potential good move here. Ofc it's nice to bring a highborn hurting the smallfolk to justice, but by taking action he also forces the hand of the crown in the Stark/Tully-Lannister fight. Politically, Ned might be at his most powerful within King's Landing now, with the King's ear and his own powers granted by his office. Being given the king's authority in his absence also gives him a rare opportunity to do this, if he doesn't exploit it now Robert might force him to just forget what happened to Bran and leave the Lannister alone. But now, Robert will probably have to pick a side instead of trying to merely stop the fighting like he used to, and then once he learns of his wife's infidelity he's unlikely to choose the Lannister. So the crown would probably side with the Stark. So the Lannisters influence would probably be curbed and they'll suffer some punishment for their actions. If Tywin is unwilling to take it lying down and comply, yes a big war might break out. But arguably the war had _already_ started anyway; the Riverlands were getting ravaged as they spoke and Ned himself had been wounded. What Robert was hoping for would merely be a band-aid. At least this way the Lannister would be the bad guys, and instead of facing only the North (who are very far away with fewer men), they' would have to be facing the other 6 kingdoms united behind the crown. One could say Ned's mistake instead was his failure to see how critical a piece Robert would be and anticipate Cersei's attempts to kill him. Not taking a public stand in the king's name against Tywin.

Ned's biggest flaw was not exercising the full might of his position. He should have called the banners for the north, stormlands, crownlands, as well as the riverlands to answer Tywin's aggression. He didn't think of this in the proper scale.

[@staciasmith5162]

Half of them wouldn't have responded like they should have. Tywin would have bought half of them off and then that would have been war for sure and it would have exposed the weakness of King Robert.

[@bierwolf8360]

@@staciasmith5162 ehh, no. The North, Riverlands and Stormlands definetly would have been firmly on the royalist side. They didn't side with Tywin when he had a stronger hand, they certainly wouldn't do it in this scenario either. Further, none of the other houses would have a particular reason to join with Tywin, the Vale and Dorne actively hating his guts. Tywin would indeed be totally isolated and even the Iron Islands would reap his coasts. The war would be impossible to win for Tywin, hence why he didn't want it - nor expect it. Tywin would come to King's Landing, talk it over with Robert, throw Gregor Clegane under the bus by claiming he acted independently, promise recompensation and aid in capturing Clegane (and arrange his death before he could reveal that he was ordered by Tywin). Robert would be satisfied. The only way war would occur would be if Eddard revealed Joffrey, Tommen and Myrcella's ancestry. In that case, Robert would seize them all, Tywin would rise in rebellion for his children, though he would definetly fail. In the aftermath, Robert would either remarry (likely to Margaery, securing the Reach) or abdicate in favour of Stannis. The realm would be prepared to throw fAegon back into the sea and then prepare the northern front. This, however, was all thwarted by a pig. What Eddard should have done at the very least: get out of King's Landing asap to support Stannis. Stannis near on took King's Landing with what few houses supported him, he would have crushed the Lannisters with the North and Riverlands on his side.

It's the scene people completely forget when saying "tywin did what was necessary for the kingdom". They forget his actions and that he basically started the war for the sake of pride and gold and nothing more. I hate how there are people who defend him.

[@bierwolf8360]

@@joyre1679 that's just silly. Tywin retaliated to the kidnapping of Tyrion - and could easily have claimed Gregor was acting independently, absolving himself of blame. Minor sacrifice, if Robert would even allow the trial. Tywin didn't need a war at this point at all as he didn't stand to gain anything from it. What Tywin wanted was a feeble but blood-related king (Joffrey) to use to consolidate Lannister power (which happend with Robert's death), war or no war. Eddard was definetly in the legal right, but used this situation to remove a rival. He definetly would have used this situation to also tell Robert the truth, a move that immediately would mean an isolated Westerlands at war with the whole realm, a final war for Robert before he'd probably abdicate in favour of Stannis. All of that was thwarted by a pig.
