Chapter Thirty-Five - Eddard 9 - A Game of Thrones | A Song of Ice and Fire

Published: April 27, 2020, 4 a.m.

Eddard Stark has found the brothel he'd been looking for. He also found a fight he wasn't looking for. Both deliver surprising results. We comb through the facts and details to make sure you know what's happening, why, and the possible repercussions.

Chapter Review:
We find Ned, some of his household guard, and Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish visiting the brothel Jon Arryn and Stannis Baratheon had visited prior to Jon's death. Ned has discovered that King Robert has a base-born child to one of the women of the brothel. The child is a girl named Barra who looks just like Robert. After promising Barra's mother that the girl will want for nothing, Ned and the guys head back to the Red Keep. On the way, Ned reminisces about promises he made his sister Lyanna and sees his bastard son Jon's face in the rain.

While Ned and Littlefinger are discussing why Jon Arryn was visiting King Robert's bastards, the street becomes flooded with Lannister men. Jamie Lannister tells Ned he's looking for his brother Tyrion, who Catelyn Stark has taken captive. Ned tells Jamie that Tyrion was taken on his orders, to answer for his crimes. Jamie lets Littlefinger leave and then threatens to kill Ned, but Ned says if he does Cat will kill Tyrion. Before Jamie rides off, he tells his men not to touch Ned, but to kill his men. In the fighting, all of Ned's men are killed and Ned suffers a badly broken leg.
