Roose Bolton/Theories

2014-09-11T17:59:32Z

Partageons: Theories category, reflist fixed

{{Theory_Policy}}

In a theory known as "Bolt-on", some readers believe that [[Roose Bolton]] is an immortal being, possibly an [[Others|Other]], that steals and wears other people's skin.

== Evidence for ==

* The [[Faceless Men]] of [[Braavos]] have demonstrated that it is possible to remove other people's faces and wear them as a disguise. The [[Dreadfort]] is proximate to Braavos, so the Boltons might have sailed there and learned the secret.
* Even if they never travelled to Braavos, [[House Bolton]] has been flaying people for centuries, and would be most likely to discover that skin could be worn.
* Roose states that the only reason he did not kill his illegitimate son [[Ramsay Snow]] is the taboo of kinslaying. However, Roose conceived Ramsay when he hanged a miller and raped his wife beneath his swaying body, and broke his sworn oaths by killing his [[Robb Stark|liege lord]]; it seems uncharacteristically moral of him to shun kinslaying.
* It seems more likely that Roose plans to take on Ramsay's identity and skin eventually, as Ramsay shares Roose's distinctive blue eyes. Even if the being wearing Roose's skin is immortal, its persona needs to "die" every so often to avoid suspicion. It is even possible that Roose killed his only trueborn son [[Domeric Bolton]], because Domeric did not share Roose's eyes.
* [[Theon Greyjoy|Reek]] notes that Roose does not seem to age:

{{Quote|Though past forty, [Roose] was as yet unwrinkled, with scarce a line to tell the passage of time...there was an agelessness about him, a stillness.{{ref|ADWD|20}}}}
* Nearly every mention of Roose Bolton mentions the pale coldness of his nature or eyes, indicating that he might be an Other. At one point, it is even stated "Roose Bolton's own face was a pale grey mask".{{ref|adwd|37}}
* [[Nan|Old Nan]] tells Bran a story of a man who had a child with a woman in white, probably an Other by her description. Old Nan's stories have a surprising history of being true. This child could be Roose.

== Evidence against ==

* There is no direct evidence for this theory, only circumstantial evidence.

Loras Tyrell/Theories

Partageons: Changed section heading levels and split final bullet point into two sentences.

{{Theory_Policy}}

According to this theory, [[Loras Tyrell]]'s severe injuries at the [[Siege of Dragonstone]] are not as they seem.

==Potential reasons==
*To weaken [[Cersei Lannister]]'s reign as Queen Regent, and the status of [[House Lannister]] more broadly.
*To free up the Redwyne fleet to deal with the [[Ironborn]] invasion of the [[Shield Islands]], as Loras initially argued.
*[[Kevan Lannister]] states that Loras and his forces searched Dragonstone for dragon eggs or other priceless artifacts, but found nothing. It is possible that Loras found, if not those specific things, something else that could be used to benefit [[House Tyrell]].

==Evidence for==

*As far as the reader knows, the only evidence given as to Loras's injuries is what [[Aurane Waters]] tells Cersei Lannister, and as Aurane later quickly abandons Cersei, his loyalty to her is certainly questionable.
*In ''[[A Feast for Crows]]'', [[Myranda Royce]] tells [[Sansa Stark]] that [[Riverrun]] has been taken by the forces of the [[Iron Throne]], and that [[Dragonstone]] will soon follow. However, Waters tells Cersei that Dragonstone was taken before Riverrun.
*According to Waters, during the battle Loras was first hit with a quarrel in the thigh, then one through the shoulder, then had his ribs broken by a mace, but kept fighting at the front of the assault until he was hit with boiling water. This seems an excessive amount of injuries to sustain while continuing to fight in the vanguard of an intense assault, even for Loras.
*It was the belief that Loras was out of the picture that led Cersei to begin to move against [[Margaery Tyrell]], which set in motion the events of Cersei's own downfall.
*Loras's leadership during the siege resulted in the death of one thousand of the Iron Throne's soldiers. Whether they actually died or defected along with Loras, it would be a large blow to the forces of the Iron Throne and House Lannister.
*When taking Dragonstone, Waters says that Loras offered single combat to its commander, [[Rolland Storm]], but Storm declined. This would seem to be out of character for Storm and his belief in the Warrior. Further, Stannis only left a token force on Dragonstone, which would seem less likely to inflict such large-scale casualties on the Iron Throne's forces.
*In ''[[A Dance with Dragons]]'', none of Stannis Baratheon's followers mention having lost Dragonstone, which would have been a major defeat for them.
*Kevan Lannister notes that, despite his injuries, Loras has been personally searching Dragonstone. This would seem rather difficult to do for someone who had sustained the injuries described by Waters.
*According to ''[[The Winds of Winter]]'', Waters has apparently established himself as a pirate chief in the [[Stepstones]] off of [[Dorne]]. If Waters and Loras were conspiring, this would allow Waters to harass the forces of [[House Martell]], the longtime enemies of House Tyrell.

==Evidence against==
*It would presumably be difficult to keep the non-capture of Dragonstone a secret for long, given how many ships pass through [[Blackwater Bay]] en route to [[King's Landing]].
*If the Siege of Dragonstone was a complete fabrication, it would require House Tyrell to conspire with Stannis Baratheon, who is known to dislike House Tyrell for their part in the [[Siege of Storm's End]]. Additionally, Stannis's claim to the throne would not benefit Margaery's desire to be Queen, which is contingent on her marriage to [[Tommen Baratheon]] and his status as King.

'''House Baratheon of Storm's End''' is one of the Great Houses of Westeros, and is the principal house in the [[Stormlands]]. Its seat, [[Storm's End]], is an ancient castle raised by the [[Storm King]]s. The Baratheon sigil is a crowned black stag on a field of gold.{{ref|AGOT|4}} Members of the family tend to be tall and powerfully built, with black hair and blue eyes, as well as strong, square jawlines. They are known for their mercurial tempers, and their words are "''Ours is the Fury''".

==History==
===Targaryen Era===
House Baratheon is the youngest of the original great houses, tracing its descent from [[Orys Baratheon]], one of [[Aegon I Targaryen]]'s fiercest generals, and rumored to be his bastard brother. Through the female line, the Baratheons are descended from the Storm Kings, as Orys slew [[Argilac]] the Arrogant, last of the Storm Kings, and married his daughter [[Argella Durrandon]]. Orys adopted the sigil and words of his wife's ancestral line.{{ref|AGOT|Appendix}} The line of the Storm Kings dates back to the [[Age of Heroes]] when their kingdom was founded by King [[Durran]] I "Godsgrief", a legendary hero.

Baratheon support for the Targaryens was initially strong. A knight of the House was elevated to the [[Kingsguard]], saving the life of King [[Aenys I]] during the [[Faith Militant uprising]].

During the [[Dance of the Dragons]], Lord [[Borros Baratheon]] sided the House with [[Aegon II Targaryen]] and the [[greens]] despite his late father [[Boremund Baratheon|Boremund]]'s support of [[the blacks]] and relation to [[Rhaenys Targaryen (The Queen Who Never Was)|Rhaenys Targaryen]] (through [[Jocelyn Baratheon]]).{{ref|tpatq}} There was talk of one of Borros's daughters wedding [[Aemond One-Eye]], a green prince, but it is unknown if this occurred before the prince's [[Dance over Harrenhal|death]].

During the [[Blackfyre Rebellion]], the Baratheons remained loyal to the [[House Targaryen|Targaryen dynasty]], providing much of the force commanded by Prince [[Baelor Breakspear]] at the decisive [[Battle of the Redgrass Field]].

Nine years before the [[Ashford Tourney]], Lord Baratheon held a tourney to celebrate the birth of his grandson. Ser [[Lyonel Baratheon]], called the Laughing Storm, participated in the Ashford Tourney and fought on the side of Ser [[Duncan the Tall]] during the [[Trial of Seven]].

Princess [[Rhaelle Targaryen]], daughter of [[Aegon V Targaryen]], married into the House and birthed Lord [[Steffon Baratheon]], continuing the close ties between the dragon and the stag. Prince [[Rhaegar Targaryen]] defeated Lord Steffon Baratheon in a tourney at Storm's End that was eventually won by Ser [[Barristan Selmy]]. Lord Steffon also went on a journey [[across the narrow sea]] to find a bride for Prince Rhaegar, a voyage that would be his last.

===Robert's Rebellion===

The [[Robert's Rebellion|rebellion]] that removed the Targaryens from power, however, was started on behalf of Steffon's son, Lord [[Robert Baratheon]], and his foster-brother, [[Eddard Stark]]. The Baratheons and their bannermen were instrumental in the conflict, along with Houses [[House Arryn|Arryn]], [[House Stark|Stark]], and [[House Tully|Tully]], and, eventually, [[House Lannister]]. The [[Battle of Summerhall]] and [[Siege of Storm's End]] were fixtures of the Stormlands theater.

===King Robert Baratheon===

After the war, the house spawned two cadet branches: one [[House Baratheon of King's Landing|seated on the Iron Throne]] under King Robert, and another [[House Baratheon of Dragonstone|on the Isle of Dragonstone]] headed by Lord [[Stannis Baratheon]]. During the [[Greyjoy Rebellion]] against Robert's rule, the combined Baratheon fleet defeated the [[Iron Fleet]] in the [[Battle of Fair Isle]], commanded by [[Master of Ships]] Stannis. Stannis later subdued [[Great Wyk]] in his brother's name. With Robert and Stannis holding their own titles, the young [[Renly Baratheon]] became Lord of Storm's End. Some time after he achieved manhood, he was appointed to Robert's [[small council]] as [[Master of Laws]].

==Recent Events==
===''A Game of Thrones''===
Lord [[Jon Arryn]], the [[Hand of the King]], dies suddenly in [[King's Landing]]. King [[Robert Baratheon]] and his retinue travel to [[Winterfell]] to offer the position to Lord [[Eddard Stark]], Robert's friend from his youth. Lord [[Renly Baratheon]] rides north to meet King Robert on his return trip after Eddard accepts the position, while Lord [[Stannis Baratheon]] returns to his seat at [[Dragonstone]]. Renly rides in the [[Tourney of the Hand]], riding well before losing to [[Sandor Clegane]].

Later, as Robert lies dying from a [[kingswood]] boar's tusk, Renly asks Eddard to support him in a bid for the throne. Lord Stark has discovered that Queen [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei]]'s children, [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]], [[Myrcella Baratheon|Myrcella]], and [[Tommen Baratheon]], are not Robert's legitimate children, but they are instead bastards born of incest with Cersei's brother, Ser [[Jaime Lannister]]. Eddard insists that it is Lord Stannis who should be Robert's successor as king. After Eddard refuses to support Renly's bid for power, Renly, his 30 men-at-arms, and his former squire Ser [[Loras Tyrell]] ride south out of the capital. King Joffrey names Lord Renly and Ser Loras among the nobles who must do him homage or be declared traitors, and soon thereafter has Eddard executed for treason.

===''A Clash of Kings''===
Despite Stannis's better claim to the [[Iron Throne]], Renly is able to rally the [[Stormlands]] to his cause, as well as [[House Tyrell]] and much of [[the Reach]]. Stannis has a significantly smaller force drawn mostly from the [[Crownlands]]. When Renly is [[shadow assassin|assassinated]] beneath the walls of Storm's End as the brothers' hosts [[Siege of Storm's End (299)|prepare to clash]] during the [[War of the Five Kings]], he leaves no heirs. Most of the houses sworn to Storm's End, as well as some from the Reach, join Stannis, who unsuccessfully attacks King's Landing in the [[Battle of the Blackwater]]. Following their defeat, most houses sworn to Stannis kneel to King Joffrey and the [[Iron Throne]].

===''A Storm of Swords''===
Stannis's garrison at Storm's End commanded by Ser [[Gilbert Farring]] remains loyal to his cause.

[[Edric Storm]] is smuggled out of [[Dragonstone]] by Lord [[Davos Seaworth]] to prevent him from being burned alive by Stannis's advisor, [[Melisandre]].

Renly's widow, [[Margaery Tyrell]], marries King [[Joffrey Baratheon]]. After [[Purple Wedding|Joffrey's death]], the current head of the house is the young king on the Iron Throne, [[Tommen Baratheon]] - a title disputed by King Stannis.

Aside from a few garrisons, Stannis leads his remaining forces north to the [[Wall]] and saves the [[Night's Watch]] from [[wildlings]] in the [[Battle of Castle Black]].

===''A Feast for Crows''===
Queen [[Cersei Lannister]] serves as [[regent]] for her son, King [[Tommen Baratheon]]. She sends Lord [[Mace Tyrell]] to [[Siege of Storm's End (300)|take Storm's End]] from Stannis's garrison, although when Tyrell hears [[Margaery Tyrell|his daughter]] has been arrested he returns to the capital with most of his army, leaving [[Mathis Rowan]] to continue the siege with a token force. Cersei is replaced as Tommen's regent by Ser [[Kevan Lannister]] after she is also arrested by the [[Faith of the Seven]]. Ser [[Loras Tyrell]] is said to have taken [[Dragonstone]] from Stannis's garrison in a [[Siege of Dragonstone|bloody assault]].

===''A Dance with Dragons''===
After leaving [[Castle Black]], Stannis remains in [[the North]], [[Retaking of Deepwood Motte|liberates Deepwood Motte]], and marches on [[Siege of Winterfell|Winterfell]]. His wife, Queen [[Selyse Florent]], and heir, Princess [[Shireen Baratheon]], travel to Castle Black from [[Eastwatch-by-the-Sea]].

The garrison at Storm's End is Stannis's last force in the south, but it is threatened by Mathis Rowan as well as [[Aegon Targaryen]] and the [[Golden Company]].

Tommen's regent, Kevan Lannister, is murdered in [[King's Landing]] by [[Varys]].

==Recent Events==
===''A Game of Thrones''===
[[Bran Stark]] sees the Hornwoods at [[Winterfell]] after [[Robb Stark]] calls the northern banners.{{ref|AGOT|53}} When the northern army splits at [[the Twins]], Lord [[Halys Hornwood]] goes with [[Roose Bolton]]'s army and his heir, [[Daryn Hornwood|Daryn]], accompanies Robb to free [[Riverrun]].

===''A Clash of Kings''===
Halys's widow, [[Donella Hornwood|Donella]], is now Lady of [[Hornwood]], but a matter of succession arises. House Hornwood is connected by the female line with [[House Karstark]], [[House Flint]] and [[House Tallhart]], while Halys's bastard, [[Larence Snow]], is fostered at [[Deepwood Motte]]. Donella arrives at Winterfell for the [[harvest feast]] and meets with Bran and Ser [[Rodrik Cassel]]. She warns them that [[Ramsay Snow]], Lord [[Roose Bolton]]'s bastard, is gathering soldiers at the [[Dreadfort]]. Maester [[Luwin]] advises her to increase her harvest storage from a fifth to a quarter. [[Mors Umber]] and [[Wyman Manderly]] advance themselves as possible suitors to Lady Donella.{{ref|ACOK|16}}

Lady Hornwood is captured by and forced to marry Ramsay Snow, the Bastard of Bolton. Her cousin, Lord [[Wyman Manderly]], has forces from [[House Manderly]] take the Hornwood castle from Ramsay.{{ref|ACOK|28}} Rodrik tries to rescue Donella, but discovers that Ramsay locked her in a tower and allowed her to starve to death. Rodrik tells Luwin that Ramsay and Donella's wedding appears to have been lawful and that she designated Ramsay as her heir before her death.{{ref|ACOK|35}}

When Rodrik aims to retake [[Winterfell]] from the [[ironborn]], [[Theon Greyjoy]] spies some Hornwood banners among his host. Ramsay kills Rodrik, abducts Theon, and [[Sack of Winterfell|sacks Winterfell]].{{ref|ACOK|66}}

[[Theon Greyjoy]] arrives at [[Lordsport]] with none of the fanfare he expected. His pious uncle [[Aeron Greyjoy|Aeron]] escorts him to [[Pyke]], where his father Lord [[Balon Greyjoy]] greets him coldly and derides his clothing. After reading the proposed alliance with [[Robb Stark]], Balon throws it in the fire and insists he will pay the [[Old Way|iron price]] and carve out a kingdom of his own.

==Synopsis==

[[File:Pyke by Feliche.jpg|thumb|400px|left|Pyke, the seat of House Greyjoy - Feliche©]]

There is no safe anchorage at [[Pyke]], but [[Theon Greyjoy]] insists the ''[[Myraham]]'' pass by so he can watch his home rise just as it dwindled when he was taken away as a ward of [[Eddard Stark]]. Theon cannot make out the banner above the [[Pyke#Sea Tower|Sea Tower]], but he knows it is the golden kraken of [[House Greyjoy]]. In the sky beyond the castle, the [[red comet]] is still visible. Theon decides it is his comet, sliding a hand to the letter from [[Robb Stark]] that he considers as good as a crown.

The [[Daughter of the captain of the Myraham|captain's daughter]], Theon's lover during the voyage, asks if the castle is as he remembers it. Theon confesses it looks smaller, and explains the hard life of the Iron Islanders to her. The girl asks to come ashore with him, but Theon rebuffs her, explaining that the days are gone when the ironborn could take [[salt wives]] they captured on raids. She insists that she could be his salt wife, but Theon says her place is on the ''Myraham''.

In the harbor of Lordsport, Theon notices at least fifty or sixty longships including those of Houses [[House Goodbrother|Goodbrother]], [[House Wynch|Wynch]], and [[House Harlaw|Harlaw]]. He cannot see his uncle [[Euron Greyjoy|Euron]]'s ''[[Silence]]'', but he does spy his father's ''[[Great Kraken]]''. It is obvious the longships are hosting, and Theon wonders if his father anticipated his message and called his banners.

There is no honor guard to escort Theon, and the waiting merchants are unimpressed when the captain announces him. He orders a horse from an innkeeper, who does not recognize his importance. The transaction is interrupted by a priest of the [[Drowned God]], who says he will escort his nephew. Theon does not recognize the grim, bearded priest until he remembers his father writing that his uncle [[Aeron Greyjoy]] sank in a storm and turning holy when he washed up.

Hurrying after his uncle, Theon finds that the priest's cold manner is totally unlike the amiable man Theon remembers. Abruptly, Aeron asks if Theon prays to the [[House Stark|Stark]] [[old gods|gods]] now, and Theon (who seldom prays at all) says no. Aeron commands Theon to kneel in the mud. Deciding he may need his uncle's help later, Theon acquiesces. Aeron drenches his head with seawater from a waterskin, reconsecrating him to the Drowned God.

Aeron informs Theon that his [[Alannys Harlaw|mother]] now lives on [[Harlaw]] because of her health and his sister [[Asha Greyjoy|Asha]] has taken ''[[Black Wind]]'' to [[Great Wyk]] with a message. Theon asks why his father has assembled his forces, but Aeron insists Balon commanded secrecy.

They reach Pyke at sunset, and Theon climbs to the solar where his father waits. Lord Balon is smaller, gaunter, and greyer than Theon remembers him. Balon asks what Theon is now, and Theon replies he is a man and Balon's heir. Balon only says they will see.

Balon accuses Theon of dressing like a woman in velvets and silks, and asks if the gold chain around his neck was bought with iron or gold. Theon only then remembers that the Old Way stipulates a warrior may only wear jewelry taken from enemies he has slain. Theon blushes and his father yanks the chain off, declaring that his daughter has taken an axe for a lover, and he will not have his son dressed like a whore. Balon decides the Starks have made Theon theirs.

The letter fails to impress Balon; he summarizes it as being given a crown for destroying Robb's enemies. Theon attempts to explain, but his father insists that what is meant is what is said, and what is given can be taken away. Balon throws the letter into the fire and backhands Theon when he protests. He declares no man gives him a crown, and he will pay the iron price and take his crown by conquest as [[Urron Redhand]] did 5,000 years ago.
