The fossoways are mentioned in game of thrones sam sister is marrying ser simon fossoway in season 6 episode 6

Rishi Shukla

The music at the end was chef's kiss. The OG theme mixed in with Dunk & Egg theme; literal chills.

Darrell Henry

Don’t look up the Fossoways until after next episode. They were an ancient family from the Reach. They were lords but a Targaryen King took their lordship that’s why they dislike the Targaryens and why Steffon was willing to throw his honor away to become lord.

Giulia Beonio

Without going into spoiler territory the fossoway are still around during a Game of Thrones, they are on Renly’s side, then go to Stannis’ side after Renly’s death and then turn to Joffrey’s side after the battle of the Blackwater, I’m not sure if any of this is actually named in the show though, and yes they are from the reach (also fun fact in the books Margaery and Loras have two older brothers and one of them, Garlan ♥️, is married to a Fossoway

i dont understand Mickeys need to spoil everything..its weird behavior

PurportedGrey

They didn’t seize their lordship, Steffon and Raymun are just cousins to the current lord/lady Fossoway, they are pissed at the Targs for 2 reasons: 1. Is probably the pointless Blackfyre Rebellion 13 years earlier, 2. They are pissed at them simply becaue bypassed them for the Lord Paramountcy when Aegon took the Reach and killed all the Gardener's. The Hightowers, Tarlys, Rowans, Oldflowers (a bastard branch of House Gardener), and several other major houses were all overlooked for the role, houses that were even descended from the previous Kings, while the Tyrells were elevated instead. At the time, the Tyrells were little more than a perpetual castellan family, a super minor house (House Cole level small) holding lands on the outskirts of Highgarden. The promise is for Steffon to simply have his own lordship seperate from the main branch, and possibly create a Cadet branch/new house entirely upon becoming lord of the given lands (there's a shit load of old castles and free lands littered throughout a continent that's had hundreds of Kingdoms over its 8000 years kf history)

Darrell Henry

Steffon is the heir to Cider Hall. The Fossoways use to be lords but they’re just landed knights now. They lost their lordship sometime between the Dance and the Blackfyre Rebellion. Go check the wiki.

pablo

steffon not warning them was the whole point, he planned for them to show up and have no knights be there. Steffon was supposed to be the one to recruit Lyonel but Lyonel had no idea who he was and wouldnt have been there were it not for Egg

A few things: 1. Fuck House Bracken. Doesn’t matter the era, they’re always assholes or backing the wrong side. 2. The “last Trial of the Seven” line is genuinely interesting for me. The only confirmed and actually described Trials are Maegor the Cruel’s (during his power grab and war with the Faith Militant) and Dunk’s. The show saying it’s been 106 years or something since the last one is intriguing. I’d love to know what that Trial was about and how it ended. Never gonna happen, but still cool lore. 3. House Fossoway didn’t disappear. 4. Chris’s comparison to HotD is dead on. And this show proves why George’s involvement actually matters. He was as involved here as he was in GoT S1–4 and HotD S1, and it shows. HotD S1: George was a real creative lead, and the reception was strong and consistent. S2: Condal intentionally sidelined George (and even insulted him) during the writing process, and the result was characters endlessly spinning their wheels at Dragonstone, Harrenhal, and King’s Landing while a war was supposedly happening. Instead of real skirmishes and introducing key war figures (Bloody Benjicot Blackwood, Bold Jon Roxton, Prince Daeron, Roddy Dustin), we got thumb-twiddling filler for most of S2. That's why George went scorched-earth about how he was treated during S2 and the S3 writing process.

PurportedGrey

Damn, I had no idea he was the heir, AND that they lost their lordship between the HotD period and now. Thanks for the correction! I thought the Lordship he talked about was for New Barrel's lands, not Cider Halls. I wouldn't have thought a Principle House could get knocked all the way down to Landed Knight status.

Veya

There’s so many houses in westeros that not seeing them in the original show doesn’t mean they’re extinct. They may just have not figured into the story.

SergeTroy

That last emotional moment with Prince Baelor pulling off his helm was better than the books. I knew it was coming, though I thought next week. I have no idea what will happen in episode 6.

Mama Browsss

lol yeah I remember that. She complains to Sam that the Fossoway her father is making her marry has yellow teeth.

#SundayRundown There are a lot of Houses that are prominent in one era and are kind of low key in other eras, which is pretty realistic IMO. For instance the Velaryons are present during Game of Thrones, and House Hightower is also around then (and still one of the wealthiest and most powerful houses in Westeros) but you dont hear about either in the original series because they arent involved in the main story. You also have Houses like Lannister that can be a joke during one era, and in another time period a leader like Tywin is the head of the House and makes them super important. This is especially true if you only watch the shows and dont read the books. The books mention all these Houses plenty of times in different time periods so you atleast know whats going on with them.

#SundayRundown Marketa says this every so often and I simply cannot stress enough how inaccurate it is but not everybody in Westeros hates the Targaryens, when Robert rebelled half of the realm still fought for the Targaryen's, and even during Robert's reign there were many that still believed that the Targaryens should rule. You are falling for Maestor propaganda that everybody hated the Targaryen's lol. At this particular point in Westeros history, the magic and wonder of the Targaryen's was fading from people's eyes because Dragons were no longer a thing, but they were still loyal, most people just hated Aerion specifically because of the horse situation and because he was just a demon through and through, lol.

Darryl John Dodo Tait

See these guys watch game of thrones once 7 years ago and never rewatch it they just go on to house of the dragon and now a knight of the seven kingdoms

I was reading that Baelor Breakspear is half Martell, if true, that's a nice parallel to Oberyn fighting for Tyrion.

Jaydelle

Here’s a theory I’ve been thinking about— It feels strongly implied that Dunk was never properly knighted. His hesitation when knighting Raymun really stands out. There’s also that moment where Dunk mentions Ser Arlan wasn’t much for praying to Baelor, and the way Arlan just kind of shrugs during the scene—both hint that Arlan might not have known all the formal rites tied to the Seven. That would explain why Dunk doesn’t know the official words, and why there’s this moral ambiguity around his status as a knight. Maybe Arlan did “knight” him, but it wasn’t done the traditional way. It makes the contrast with Lyonel knighting Raymun even sharper—he uses all the correct words, showing a clear understanding of the ceremony. That parallel feels like a bit of ironic humor, very on-brand for the show. And honestly, even if Dunk had known the proper words, his pause might’ve also come from not wanting to push Raymun into danger. The writing in that scene leaves just enough room for both possibilities, which is what makes it so good.

Aerion likely knew about the trial of seven because his ancestor Maegor The Cruel (he's got the name for a reason) had a trial of seven their are indications Aerion hero worships Maegor, Aerion even named his son Maegor, because of course he's obsessed with a guy named The Cruel

Arctic_stark

Yeah I agree, one shouldn’t read too much into the Fossoways complaining about the Targaryens. A little over a decade ago most of these Lords fought on behalf of the Targaryens against the Blackfyres. And during Robert’s rebellion The Reach was on the side of the Targaryens too. The way to look at it is that the native Westerosi houses hold some resentment towards the outsider Targaryens and their odd customs. But there is wide acceptance of their Kingship and that their rule has generally made Westeros a better place.

#SundayRundown I love the tales of Dunk and Egg - I read the book and listened to the audiobook - (Harry Lloyd AKA Viserys Targaryen from GoT is an excellent narrator). But the HBO series is even better due to the Duncan and Aegon actors. Season one was excellently executed. "Oak and iron guard me well, or else I'm dead and doomed to hell."

Jacob Livingston

The fossoways are still around in thrones just not very prominent. In season 6 ep 6 Sam’s sister mentions her father is making her marry Simon fossoway

PurportedGrey

Yep, his mom marrying his dad, and his Targaryen aunt marrying his Martell uncle is why Dorne finally joined the Kingdoms.

Jaydelle

Oh cool. Awesome. Thank you for confirming! :)

PurportedGrey

100%, I said in an earlier episode, that there were only a handful of legit Mad Targaryens, besides that they were just like most good and bad lords/ladies. These 2 generations we see do have 2 (Aerion and his uncle Rhaegal) of the 6 or 7 members (put of +50 memebers) that are Mad though.

Jussi

To me, Lyonel’s facial expressions also suggest that he realized that Dunk didn’t know the words or the ceremony, which in turn implies that Dunk isn’t actually a knight. So he steps in and saves Dunk. At the same time, the scene raises the question of what being a knight really means. Duncan the Tall may not be a knight in the official sense, but unlike almost all the other “true” knights, he genuinely believes in the meaning of the vows and tries to live by them.

Jaydelle

Thanks for sharing this perspective as well. I agree. Definitely didn't factor that into consideration at all!
