Daenerys Targaryen has wed some Dothraki horselord.
What of it? Should we send her a wedding gift?
A knife perhaps, a good sharp one,
- Tell me we're not speaking of this. - Oh, it's unspeakable to you?
What her father did to your family-- that was unspeakable.
That's my grandfather Lord Rickard.
He was burned alive by the Mad King Aerys.
What Rhaegar Targaryen did to your sister--
the woman I loved.
That's Lyanna, my father's sister.
King Robert was supposed to marry her,
but Rhaegar Targaryen kidnapped her.
Robert started a war to win her back.
He killed Rhaegar, but she died anyway.
When your brother Rhaegar led his army into battle at the Trident,
men died for him because they believed in him,
because they loved him.
I fought beside the last dragon on that day, Your Grace.
I bled beside him.
Rhaegar fought valiantly, Rhaegar fought nobly,
and Rhaegar died.
Did you know him well, Ser Barristan?
I did, Your Grace. Finest man I ever met.
