This time her eyes met Harry’s. She smiled just for him, and said a silent prayer to the Maiden. Please, he doesn’t need to love me, just make him like me, just a little, that would be enough for now. Alayne I, The Winds of Winter.

“I hope you joust better than you talk.”

For a moment he looked shocked. But as the song was ending, he burst into a laugh. “No one told me you were clever.”

He has good teeth, she thought, straight and white. And when he smiles, he has the nicest dimples. She ran one finger down his cheek. “Should we ever wed, you'll have to send Saffron back to her father. I'll be all the spice you'll want.”

He grinned. “I will hold you to that promise, my lady. Until that day, may I wear your favor in the tourney ?”

“You may not. It is promised... to another”

So all the “Young’s” die an early death and it seems like they all will die to war crimes (Robb/Young Wolf at the Red Wedding, Daeron/Young Dragon under a flag of truce, Aegon/Young Griff more than likely after surrender his forces surrender) How do you think Harry/Young Falcon is going to meet his end?

Hi there!

This ask reminded me that there is another Young X to consider, and he fits this pattern.

It had been years since his last vigil. And I was younger then, a boy of fifteen years. He had worn no armor then, only a plain white tunic. The sept where he'd spent the night was not a third as large as any of the Great Sept's seven transepts. Jaime had laid his sword across the Warrior's knees, piled his armor at his feet, and knelt upon the rough stone floor before the altar. When dawn came his knees were raw and bloody. "All knights must bleed, Jaime," Ser Arthur Dayne had said, when he saw. "Blood is the seal of our devotion." With dawn he tapped him on the shoulder; the pale blade was so sharp that even that light touch cut through Jaime's tunic, so he bled anew. He never felt it. A boy knelt; a knight rose. The Young Lion, not the Kingslayer. But that was long ago, and the boy was dead. (AFFC, Jaime I)

This Young Lion, too, died in a crime, if you will: Jaime killed him by killing his king. Though in all honesty he died long before that if he ever lived. Jaime thinks of his knighthood as quite divorced from his other choices even before Aerys. His sordid relationship with Cersei, his lie to Tyrion and the crime against Tysha that followed - were those the actions of a "boy", washed away by his rise to knighthood? Was he ever a true knight if he never questioned himself? Jaime hates the name Kingslayer, but what did the Young Lion ever do but ignore the suffering of innocents in the name of duty?

Robb too "killed the boy" long before his actual death, harrassing the smallfolk of the Westerlands, freezing out his mother's advice and the plight of his sisters - married to his sword. He was the Young Wolf - but like Jaime, he couldn’t live up to the promise enshrined in that name. And the Young Dragon - a boy responsible for the death of thousands, dead before long and his "achievements" falling apart - enough said.

There’s a curse of failure attached to that nickname more than mere death by betrayal. They are young forever because they never get to finish what they started.

The curious thing about Young Griff and the Young Falcon is that both nicknames are erroneously applied. Neither are griffin or falcon in truth. Aegon is a dragon and the sun’s son. Harry is a checkered tablecloth (House Hardyng) several links removed from the last falcon ancestor. Quartering the Arryn falcon in his coat of arms is an arrogant overstep that banks on the death of a child.

Both will fail to live up to the expectation placed on the nickname - for Aegon those would be the expectations of all those who made him “Young Griff” to fulfill their plans, for Harry the expectation to actually inherit.

Both are likely to die, too. Aegon’s death seems entirely inevtiable but whether it involves parley or surrender or a fiery battle, it will be a crime, either way. He is the rightful Targaryen heir - or he is the king by popular acceptance based on his achievements before Dany’s arrival. Dany killing him will have no righteous angle, and his death will end all dreams of a Targaryen restoration.

Harry...

When Robert dies, Harry the Heir becomes Lord Harrold, Defender of the Vale and Lord of the Eyrie. Jon Arryn's bannermen will never love me, nor our silly, shaking Robert, but they will love their Young Falcon . . . (AFFC, Alayne II)

When the boy dies, the Young Falcon is born. Except the one won’t, so neither will the other.

I imagine his death - which is probable - will be less of a betrayal (unless Lyonel Corbray goes rogue) and more of a mirror to the death of Ser Hugh at the Hand’s Tourney. Inexperience, perhaps even arrogance will meet reality, and put a sudden end to what was supposed to be a promising future. Though he does have the benefit of Sansa’s best wishes: "I pray he proves a worthy knight." So my guess is that his death will perchance be noble in its own way, like Aegon’s is likely to be. Like Waymar Royce’s.

SANSA STARK APPRECIATION MONTH + DAY SIX: THE VALE (1)

“No one told me you were clever.” Harry the Heir has good teeth, she thought, straight and white. And when he smiles, he has the nicest dimples.

She ran one finger down his cheek. “Should we ever wed, you’ll have to send Saffron back to her father. I’ll be all the spice you’ll want.”

Logically, if legitimisation truly removes the taint of bastardry then they should be in birth order. Sociologically, it'd probably be at the end, after the trueborn children (or at least after the trueborn children of the same gender).

Although I think the real answer is probably nobody knows, and that's the problem. Or rather whoever is politically expedient comes first, and that's usually whoever wins. That gives a bit of context to Cat's concerns about legitimising Jon and the potential for succession wars etc. I mean they were kinda bad faith arguments because she'd say anything to prevent Jon inheriting Winterfell but still.

As for what would happen if Jon was/is legitimised (Stannis offered as well as Robb) and trueborn Starks emerge, I don't think he'd inherit. He already feels survivers guilt like accepting Winterfell equates to wishing his half-siblings dead so I don't think he'd press his claim. That's besides his oath to hold no lands as a man of the Night's Watch. It might be a bit different if it's Sansa and she's still married to Tyrion because the North wouldn't accept a Lannister but it was never consummated and it's going to be annulled and it'd be different with Harry or anyone else.

Hi! Don’t you think Myranda is aware of who Sansa is? She asked her some very pointed questions (I think she was sent up to investigate Lysa’s suspicious murder) and Sansa practically gave herself away when she blurted out Jon’s name. Myranda and her father had their eye on the Eyrie before LF came into play. Lysa turned Nestor down and Harry rejected Myranda. Nestor especially may not be so content with the Gates. There are just so many Checkhov’s guns lying around.

Also what do you think of the theory that the bread riots were arranged by LF to kidnap Sansa? Mandon Moore was her assigned guard (who was probably paid off by LF to assassinate Tyrion) and he totally abandoned her. LF is also asking for wards from the Vale lords...maybe he kidnapped Tyrek for his claim?

Lots of stuff here.

Yes, Myranda knows who Alayne really is. She all but confirmed it; however, I think there is decent evidence to suggest Myranda is not really in cahoots with her father, Nestor Royce. He is knowingly taking bribes from Littlefinger in exchange for his support against Yohn Royce, who is/was only second to House Arryn in political power in the Vale. Mainly, Littlefinger warns Sansa not to trust Myranda because he is wary of her. "Soon or late you must meet Myranda Royce," Petyr had warned her. "When you do, be careful. She likes to play the merry fool, but underneath she's shrewder than her father. Guard your tongue around her." -- Alayne II, AFFC.

She is not her father. She is way more skeptical and discerning. That's why LF finds her dangerous and doesn't want Sansa to slip up in front of her. Some of LF's reputation for being a "master manipulator" is quite overblown. It's not that hard to manipulate people who already desperately want to buy what you're selling. It's much harder to get your hooks in people that want nothing from you.

Nestor's weakness is that he has an inferiority complex with his cousin Yohn and he has ambitions for his son, Albar, to rise higher than a steward. Covering up Lysa's murder and rubberstamping the official story that framed Marillion was the golden opportunity to gain a lordship and a castle seat that Albar can inherit. If Nestor was ever upset that LF ended up marrying Lysa instead of him, this bribe just reward for loyal service was the soothing balm to bind up that wound. And now Nestor is LF's staunchest ally and the generous gifts just keep flowing his way. This next part is key: Nestor's lordship and claim to the Gates are contingent on LF staying alive and in power because the legal documents were all signed by the Lord Protector, NOT Robert Arryn, Lord of the Eyrie. If LF is removed, the grant will likely be considered null and void. Nestor has every reason to back the legitimacy of Marillion's conviction for Lysa's murder. So if Myranda is on her father's side, why is she poking around into anything that could upset the relationship with their benefactor or undo their arrangement if the truth comes out? It only makes sense if she's not actually down for any of this bullshit at all. We also have a hint that Myranda may have been threatened by Nestor for her opposition or meddling: "Of course not. Walk faster, my new suitors may be following." Myranda made a face. "Ossifer Lipps is the dullest knight in the Vale, but Uther Shett aspires to his laurels. I am praying they fight a duel for my hand, and kill each other."

Alayne giggled. "Surely Lord Nestor would not seriously entertain a suit from such men."

"Oh, he might. My lord father is annoyed with me for killing my last husband and putting him to all this trouble." -- Alayne I, TWOW.

Myranda is an excellent catch on paper for her prestigious lineage. Nestor is an ambitious man, so it makes no sense he would consider a marriage contract with these repulsive scrubs who can offer him nothing. I don't buy the reason is that Myranda's late husband died in their marriage bed or that Lady Anya previously turned down his offer to wed Myranda to Harry (more on that later). The only problem with Myranda's first marriage was that the older man died too quickly before conceiving an heir. It was actually a pretty decent deal for her. If she had been pregnant, Myranda would have retained widow's rights, ruled as her child's regent, and could have lived independently in her late husband's estate for the rest of her life. His death probably occurred so shortly after the wedding (no widow's rights) that she was sent back to Nestor once everyone was sure she had not conceived. They may have kept her dowry, which could be a problem for making a new match since the Vale lords are known to be mostly cash-poor; however, Nestor's new bestie could surely provide him a nice fat dowry and broker an auspicious match for his daughter? Maybe not Harry, but this is still a win-win all around. Myranda's prospects would seem to be better than ever, and a big incentive for her to play ball with Littlefinger, if that's what she wanted to do. So why is Nestor still "annoyed" and apparently willing to just offload her on Shett or Lipps? It only makes sense if Myranda is not willing to play ball, if she's raised objections, or made threats of her own to expose this corruption. If so, then she can't just give the real reason to Alayne. Her late husband's bum ticker is a convenient excuse. It is true that Nestor did approach Lady Anya Waynwood, Harry's foster mother, about a match between Myranda and Harry. Keep in mind this all happened long before LF had arrived in the Vale. Lady Anya was the one that rejected the offer, not Harry directly. A meager or lack of dowry after her first marriage could’ve been a factor since we know Lady Anya is deep in debt; however, I think the most likely reason Myranda was turned down is that Lady Anya knows her ward is intensely fatphobic from having to clean up the scandal involving one of her maids, Cissy, who was Harry’s first paramour. Harry was repulsed by her gaining too much weight while carrying his bastard. I’m not going to go into it here, but I explain a lot of my thoughts on Myranda's perspective and the rejected betrothal in this post. For a more in-depth analysis of the whole situation, check out my essay on Harrold Hardyng for Pawn to Player. We should keep in mind that Myranda has very good reason to not immediately trust or be more forthcoming with Alayne/Sansa, even if she knows who she really is. Especially since Sansa was a witness that testified she saw Marillion kill Lysa, her own aunt. That whole story is a load of hogwash to anyone with a brain, so the question then becomes: if she’s Sansa Stark, already wanted for kingslaying, what the heck is she doing with LF? Is she LF’s pawn and being forced to do his bidding? Or is she a willing accomplice and possibly his lover? Myranda can’t know if Sansa is a friend or foe unless she gets close enough to suss out her motives. And I do think by TWOW, she’s probably satisfied Sansa is a decent person who is caught up a situation she can’t get out of. As for Mandon Moore, the bread riots, and Tyrek, see this post and this post. Littlefinger doesn’t have anything to do with any of that and Tyrek, a Lannister of the westerlands, has nothing to do with the plot in the Vale. His fate is a mystery, we’ve all got some degree of waiting-for-twow brain worms, and people just want to stick him in storylines/places he doesn’t belong because [insert Varys/Littlefinger/Faceless Men].

And there he stood, Harry the Heir himself ; tall, handsome, scowling. “Lady Alayne. May I partner you in this dance ?”

She considered for a moment. “No, I don't think so.”

Color rose to his cheeks. “I was unforgiveably rude to you in the yard. You must forgive me”

“Must ?” She tossed her hair, took a sip of wine, made him wait. “How can you forgive someone who is unforgiveably rude ? Will you explain that to me, ser ?”

Ser Harrold looked confused. “Please. One dance”

Prior to Robert’s birth, do you think that Jon took charge of Harold’s education and upbringing?

If he did, he would have been fostered at the Eyrie. I think Jon trusted Lady Waynwood enough to just check in on Harry, and not formally take him up to the Eyrie.

Thanks for the question, Anon.

I saw two other Asoiaf blogs predicting that Harry the heir will die somehow. One of them said he'll die and littlefinger will marry Sansa instead. What do you think?

Not a chance in hell of Sansa marrying anyone else. Whether Harry dies or not I can't say--he might during the final fight against the Others, but also, he might well not, because Sansa at least has to have a kid with him to maintain her hold on the Vale.
