The grass around the stones is overgrown and growing through the gaps, so it must've sat undisturbed for a while. My guess is that its a historical grievance and Davos was just trying to start shit. Blackwoods have probably been telling Brackens to "put the stones back" in that field for centuries. Davos probably doesn't even know where exactly they're supposed to go back to, considering they're in the middle of a field with no landmarks. I think Davos body is laying on the riverbank at 4:25 just to the left of the dead horse. Hard to tell exactly but the clothes match

I love this dichotomy of honor and ambition you laid out. Thinking about prophecy as well, Bloodraven is unlikely to be the only Blackwood who had green dreams. Their past ancestors might've stressed the grudge because they knew what was coming and the need to protect against it thru old god worship and culture. This was also lost to the later generations as the world lost magic and people lost faith in it.

The Bracken tale makes more sense: the Blackwoods were exiled from the North and so would have become vassals of somebody in the South or else warred with someone to craft their own kingdom.
@JoeMagician29 күн бұрын
My personal favorite is both are true, just at different times. My head canon is they were both vassals to the Mudds. The Mudds giving them blackwood vale similar to the Starks and Manderlys. The Blackwoods were kings first after the Mudds. Then the Brackens rebelled and became kings. After which the Blackwoods rebelled against them to gain back their independence. Both filling the power vacuum of the loss of House Mudd, at different times both claiming to be kings of the Rivers. But the history of the Brackens shows a clear pattern of behavior that lines pretty well with the Blackwood story. They love backstabbing, oath breaking, and allying with anyone to take down the Blackwoods. My guess is that is closer to true while not having any details.

Here’s a theory of mine, after the Blackwoods left the north, they went south in the Riverlands and actually conquered the lands previously ruled by the Brackens. They they never were the vassal of house Bracken, and by right of conquest they kept the lands and defended it multiple times when house Bracken tried to reclaim their lost lands, thus starting the feud. When the Andals came they allied, and when house Bracken abandoned the olds gods that’s when the feud got worse.

It wasn't about the rocks, it's like the maester says later in the episode, they were just looking for an excuse to kill each other. If it hadn't been the boundary stones, it would've been a missing cow or something

@@mostlytrue3150 Yeah but looking at it from the outside in, it all started over some damn rocks 🤣

@maylabrown4584 fair enough. I'm surprised that neither house has been whiped out yet. They gotta be having a shit ton of kids

@@mostlytrue3150 Yeah with one another, both Houses right now have collectively over a dozen kids (literally) with one House having 5 daughters and the other having 3 Sons and that's just the immediate Royal Houses. It's theorized that there's gonna be a Mass Marriage to bring the Houses together and that's going to be the area which will kick off the 2nd Red Wedding between Freys and Lannisters. Imagine that's what brings the Houses together in the end?

@maylabrown4584 yeah I wouldn't want to be the guy that does something that makes these guys see eye to eye. I do think it's slightly ironic the whole "the north remembers" thing. Yet the one house that got evicted from the north can't remember why they hate the brackens 😅 I think grrm did that on purpose
