Purple Wedding: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 09:42, 27 May 2013

The Purple Wedding is the fan-given nickname for the wedding between King Joffrey Baratheon and Margaery Tyrell that took place on the first day of the new century, 300 AC. The wedding was a lavish affair, but ended in disarray when the King Joffrey drank a chalice of wine that poisoned with the Strangler and died quickly. The murder was a murky plot organized by the Tyrells and Petyr Baelish, but Tyrion Lannister and Sansa Stark were falsely implicated. Unlike the Red Wedding, this wedding is not called so in the books.
