Editing Blue Bard (section)

===''A Feast for Crows''===
As part of the [[House Tyrell|Tyrell]] entourage, the Blue Bard sings at [[Wedding of Tommen I Baratheon and Margaery Tyrell|the wedding]] of King [[Tommen Baratheon|Tommen I Baratheon]] and [[Margaery Tyrell]].{{Ref|AFFC|12}} [[Taena of Myr]] informs Queen Regent [[Cersei Lannister]] that the Blue Bird has become Margaery's favorite entertainer.{{ref|AFFC|28}} The Blue Bird plays for Margaery and her entourage when they go to pick flowers in the [[kingswood]].{{ref|AFFC|28}} Taena learns that the Blue Bird performs at an inn when he is not attending to Margaery.{{ref|AFFC|36}}

Cersei contrives to use the Blue Bard as a pawn in her efforts to remove Margaery from [[King's Landing]], and she has the musician perform while Cersei has dinner with Taena and Lord [[Orton Merryweather]]. During the meal, the queen has the Blue Bard arrested and sent to the dungeons for seducing Margaery, though he claims never to have done so. In front of Cersei, the Blue Bird is stripped and mutilated by [[Qyburn]], who removes one each of his eyes and nipples, and is told to tell the story as Cersei wants him to. Under torture he names Ser [[Osney Kettleblack]], Ser [[Tallad the Tall]], Ser [[Lambert Turnberry]], [[Jalabhar Xho]], [[Hugh Clifton]], Ser [[Mark Mullendore]], Ser [[Bayard Norcross]], and [[Hamish the Harper]] as Margaery's lovers.{{Ref|AFFC|39}}

The Blue Bard also names Ser [[Loras Tyrell]] and the Redwyne twins, Ser [[Horas Redwyne|Horas]] and Ser [[Hobber Redwyne|Hobber]], but Cersei has him recant the three; Loras because the accusation is not credible and the twins because she needs the support of [[House Redwyne]] and [[Redwyne fleet|their ships]] to deal with the [[ironborn]].{{Ref|AFFC|39}} 

After Margaery is successfully framed, Cersei has the Blue Bard arrested again. He is tortured once again by the [[Faith of the Seven|Faith]] but continues to tell the story Cersei wants him to.{{Ref|AFFC|43}}
