{{Infobox Chapter AFfC | pov = [[Brienne of Tarth]] | title = Brienne II | place = [[Duskendale]] - [[Hollard castle]] | page = 130 | previous = [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 8|Jaime I]] | current = [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 9|Brienne II]] | next = [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 10|Sansa I]] | arc previous = [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 4|Brienne I]] | arc next = [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 14|Brienne III]] }} ==Synopsis== When [[Brienne of Tarth|Brienne]] reaches [[Duskendale]], she finds the gates barred for the night. The area surrounding it is littered with corpses of both [[north]]men and men from the [[Reach]].<ref group="N">Brienne specifically describes, in order, the sigils of Houses [[House Glover|Glover]], [[House Hornwood|Hornwood]], [[House Karstark|Karstark]] and [[House Cerwyn|Cerwyn]], which she correctly identifies as northern Houses; and also Houses from the Reach such as [[House Fossoway of Cider Hall|Fossoway of Cider Hall]], [[House Fossoway of New Barrel|Fossoway of New Barrel]], [[House Leygood|Leygood]], [[House Ambrose|Ambrose]], and [[House Tarly|Tarly]]. Houses from the [[stormlands]] are also implied, yet unconfirmed.</ref> [[File:Brienne and Duncan Shield by Swordmaid.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Brienne's memory of admiring the shield in her father's armory, by Swordmaid]] In the morning, the [[captain of Duskendale's gate]] tells Brienne that [[Captain's sister|his sister]] can paint over the black [[bat]] of [[House Lothston|Lothston]] on her shield. After finding and telling the sister what sigil she wants, Brienne heads to the [[Dun Fort]] to speak to the lord. Since Lord [[Renfred Rykker|Rykker]] is with Lord [[Randyll Tarly]] at [[Maidenpool]], she meets with the [[castellan]], Ser [[Rufus Leek]], and [[Maester at Dun Fort|Dun Fort's bald maester]], who tells her that many came before her asking if [[Dontos Hollard]] and [[Sansa Stark]] had come to Duskendale. The maester then tells her the story of the [[Defiance of Duskendale]], which seems to have been the incident that finally sent King [[Aerys II Targaryen|Aerys II]] over the edge. Either of his own initiative, or from the urgings of his wife [[Serala]], [[Denys Darklyn]] took Aerys hostage. When [[Tywin Lannister]] (who was [[Hand of the King|Hand]] at the time) surrounded the Dun Fort, Lord Darklyn threatened to kill Aerys. When Aerys was captured, [[Symon Hollard]] killed one of his Kingsguard, Ser [[Gwayne Gaunt]]. After [[Barristan Selmy|Barristan the Bold]] slipped into the Dun Fort and rescued the king, Aerys had nearly every member of the [[House Darklyn|Darklyn]] and [[House Hollard|Hollard]] families killed or attainted. [[Dontos Hollard|Dontos]], who was young at the time, survived because Barristan asked Aerys to stay his hand. The castellan tells Brienne that Duskendale would have been the last place Dontos would have fled to. Despairing that she will never find Sansa, Brienne bumps into a skinny boy whom she also saw back at [[Rosby]] on a [[old piebald rounsey|piebald rounsey]], but he runs away. Visiting the [[Seven Swords]] inn for dinner, Brienne meets a [[dwarf brother]], who tells her that he overheard a man called [[Dick Crabb|Nimble Dick]] in Maidenpool bragging that he had ''"fooled a [[Shagwell|fool]]"'' seeking passage for three across the [[narrow sea]]. That night, Brienne dreams of [[Renly Baratheon|Renly]]'s death, but when he topples after the shadow killed him, the body is that of [[Jaime Lannister|Jaime]]. The next day, Brienne picks up her shield, painted with the sigil that [[Tanselle]] had painted for Ser [[Duncan the Tall]]. Proceeding past fishing villages on the way to Maidenpool, Brienne camps by the ruins of the [[Hollard castle]], and hears a rider. Fearing it may be Ser [[Shadrich]] and that a battle might ensue, she discovers the boy who seems to be stalking her. It turns out to be [[Podrick Payne]], who asks to stay with her, hoping that if she finds Sansa, it may lead the boy back to [[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion]]. ==Character List== {| class="wikitable"
