So here's a cool little theory I'd like to make a quick video about –

In The Hedge Knight, Dunk and Egg go to a tourney at Ashford. In the tourney, combatants fight to be named one of five champions of the young Lady Ashford. The final five champions, in order, are Lyonel Baratheon, Tybolt Lannister, Leo Tyrell, Humfrey Hardyng, and Valarr Targaryen. These names correspond to those of Sansa's suitors – she's betrothed to Joffrey "Baratheon", is intended to marry Willas Tyrell, marries Tyrion Lannister, and is about to be betrothed to Harry Hardyng – so maybe, in future, she'll marry or be betrothed to a Targaryen. (Aegon, perhaps? He's probably not a true Targaryen, but Joffrey wasn't a true Baratheon, so it still kinda fits).

There are some finicky details in here – the Lannister/Tyrell order doesn't quite fit, and Tybolt might actually be ahead of Lyonel – but it still fits way too well to be a coincidence, so I reckon it's worth a quick video (:

Or maybe her cousin Jon Targaryen... Would fit with the show putting them together, where there's no sign of that in the books yet. And an interesting twist on the Jon/Arya/Tyrion love triangle in George's original trilogy proposal.

I'd like to point out that if we allow to push on the crazy parentage theories, then the only Baratheon we have is Gendry (or Edric I guess), and this could be why in the show he was given importance (in case GRRM told them he'll have to marry someone). Then Tyrion could be the Lannister, but since Geoffrey really is a Lannister, then Tyrion could be the Targaryen according to A+J=T. The order would be scrambled, but it'd be fun to see that even after the scrambling, the 5 houses could still be meaningful...

Never saw this one coming. Entertaining theory and definitely worth a quick vid if you have the time.

Derek Anderson

If you made a video explaining how to properly run from side to side, I'd Rickon it's worth a watch.

Jason Dvorak

I'm not sure where to post questions/suggestions.... So, Mance Raider is Raegar Targerian???? I just saw a short video on it and was wondering if you had a more in depth opinion.

Yeah a Mance=Rhaegar video would be fun some time – maybe next month while I'm working on the GNC video (:
