King Joffrey holds court in the throne room after the Battle of the Blackwater.
Synopsis
[edit]Sansa watches from the gallery of the crowded throne room. Lord Tywin Lannister rides his warhorse down the hall, and the animal unexpectedly drops dung before the Iron Throne. King Joffrey names his grandfather as Hand of the King, a responsibility Tywin accepts until the boy king comes of age.
Other heroes of the Blackwater are presented before Joffrey, including Lord Mace Tyrell and his sons, Ser Garlan and Ser Loras Tyrell. Loras is named to the Kingsguard, and Mace joins the small council. Garlan asks Joffrey to wed his sister, Margaery Tyrell. The king is already promised to Sansa, but the High Septon declares that the betrothal is void because of the rebellion of House Stark. Sansa is delighted to hear that Margaery will marry Joffrey instead.
Many of the great lords sworn to Casterly Rock and Highgarden receive honors, including Lord Paxter Redwyne and his sons Horas and Hobber, Lord Mathis Rowan, Lord Randyll Tarly, Ser Kevan Lannister, Lord Lewys Lydden, Lord Roland Crakehall, and Lord Brax.
Lothor Brune is knighted and given land in the riverlands defeating several Fossoways. Philip Foote is granted the lands of House Caron for having slain Lord Bryce Caron, and is elevated to Lord of Nightsong. The squire Josmyn Peckledon is granted equipment and a warhorse, and Goodman Willit is granted equipment with his sons to be taken into service at Casterly Rock.
Ship captains who survived the wildfire on the Blackwater Rush are honored, and Hallyne the Pyromancer is named lord, but given no lands. Lancel Lannister is named Lord of Darry and given the land of the Darrys. Lancel and Tyrion Lannister are not present because of their grave wounds, however. Petyr Baelish is granted Harrenhal and named Lord Paramount of the Trident for negotiating the treaty which brought the Tyrells to the aid of King's Landing.
Over six hundred new knights are made, receiving their knighthoods from Ser Balon Swann, Ser Meryn Trant, and Ser Osmund Kettleblack of the Kingsguard.
Hundreds of captives are then brought forth, including Lord Ardrian Celtigar, Ser Bonifer Hasty, Lord Estermont, Lord Steffon Varner, Ser Mark Mullendore, Ser Ronnet Connington, Ser Dermot of the Rainwood, Lord Willum with his sons Josua and Elyas, Ser Jon Fossoway, Ser Timon the Scrapesword, Aurane Waters, and Lord Alesander Staedmon.
Captives who had switched sides during the battle just have to swear fealty to Joffrey, but those who fought for Stannis Baratheon until the end must plead their case. A bastard from House Florent refuses to accept Joffrey, however, so the king orders Ser Ilyn Payne to take his head. When another knight accuses Joffrey of being an abomination born of incest, the king accidentally cuts his hand on the Iron Throne in anger. Meryn follows Tywin's order to kill the outspoken knight, and Joffrey is taken away to have his wounds treated. Tywin remains behind to listen to the remaining captives, however.
A happy Sansa returns to her chambers and enjoys her supper when it is brought by a serving girl.
Later that night, Sansa goes to the godswood of the Red Keep and meets Dontos Hollard, who warns that Queen Cersei Lannister will keep her as a hostage and that Joffrey will still sleep with her if he so desires, despite his betrothal to Margaery. Dontos is sad because Cersei Lannister still has plans for Sansa, and her escape will be impossible while the queen is watching. However, Dontos reveals that they will escape during Joffrey's wedding in about a month. He gives Sansa a silver hair net with amethysts in it, telling her "It's magic, you see. It's justice you hold. It's vengeance for your father. It's home."
