Bio: Cambridge's three-screen cinema and relaxed café-bar in the heart of the city centre showcasing blockbuster and independent film. We are nice. 📍 Cambridge, UK

Duration=1 hour, 52 m. . Year=2019. Genres=Comedy. writer=Rosanne Flynn. 6,5 / 10 Stars. Is this based on Philip Green. Military Wives was just absolutely brilliant. From the moment it started to the rolling credits, I did not move, I was 100% enthralled with the characters and the relationships they had. I cried many many times throughout, found bits heartbreaking, but still I came away feeling lighter with a warm glow inside.
I laughed, I cried and I cried some more. The last film I saw that was that moving, was Kramer vs Kramer. I loved it.

Love this song. goosebumps everywhere! Im a strong supporter of our armed forces who support and protect us! May you all come home safe to your wonderful wives and familes and to those we have lost may you R.I.P. and know you have a place in this countries heart <3. Military wives mlm. Well done all of you. Just watched this film. This film blew my socks off. It properly made me laugh then made me cry. made me want to sing then hug someone.
If you want the ultimate feel good with a pinch of sadness movie. this is it. br> This one is going in the collection.

Father: you failed again isnt that right isnt that right isnt that right. me : yes. Military wives quotes. Always love when MCU and DCU converge. Military wives handbags. Gary Barlow is such an amazing man for bringing everyone together and giving people the oppurtunity to do this, once in a lifetime thing. I think people need to recognise that if we all come to together and do just what this one man did on his own, we'd live in a better place. I agree that this should open the olympics because I think it speaks for everybody all over the world. The little girl in this is adorable. Everybody in this video should be proud along with Gary and Mr Webber xxxxx.

This is Part 4 of 5. It assumes you're familiar with Parts 1, 2 and 3, which you can find HERE or via my reddit post history. In my last three posts I've looked at myriad hints that Rodrik Greyjoy is alive, living as Lem Lemoncloak, and that his brother Maron is also alive, living as Ser Bronn of the Blackwater—an ironic payoff to the ironborn mantra: What is dead may never die, but rises again, harder and stronger. I've argued that Theon's memories of abuse are probably misguided and misleading in multiple ways, failing to recognize that he was a little shithead who almost certainly made mock of Rodrik, and failing to recognize that Maron likely manipulated all parties to redirect Rodrik's wrath onto Theon. Citing the Dunk & Egg tales and the "rhyme" between Rodrik/Lem and Dunk (and between Rodrik/Lem and "Duck"), I've said it's possible that Rodrik actually played a protective role vis-a-vis Theon, one Theon failed to recognize, perhaps cuffing and "beating" (spanking, etc. ) Theon so as to save him from far worse at the hands of Maron and/or Balon or his uncles. So what happened in 289 AC during Balon's Rebellion and thereafter such that Balon's two older sons "died" only to "rise again" under assumed names? I believe we can tease out some of the key events from the text we already have, because I believe ASOIAF, like most "songs", is all about "rhyming"—about parallels, reworked motifs, tragic irony, and recursive histories (as exemplified by the riff on the ouroboros that is House Toland's sigil). To frame what follows, I'm going to simply lay out what I think happened before I try to explicate the reasons I believe this is what happened. The Narrative, Evidence-Free, Part 1 Rodrik Greyjoy was less his father Balon's son than his mother Alannys Harlaw's son and his grandfather Quellon Grejoy's grandson. He disdained the Old Way, instead esteeming the greenland tales of knightly chivalry he heard from his enlightened grandfather Quellon and his uncle and eponym Rodrik Harlaw, known for good reason as The Reader. Rodrik Greyjoy's close friendship with Harras Harlaw (who aspired to be but was not yet "The Knight") dovetailed with his sensibilities. Indeed, he himself may have wished to become a knight. While Balon wasn't going to allow him to be formally anointed, Rodrik was allowed to take Harras as his squire. At some point, young Rodrik was chosen—probably by Quellon—to bear the Greyjoys' Valyrian sword, Nightfall. When Balon rebelled against Robert, he ordered Rodrik and Maron to attack Seagard. But Rodrik was not disposed to kill smallfolk, to rape, pillage and slaughter. Defying the spirit of Balon's orders but still finding a way to do his duty, Rodrik raised a peace banner and challenged Jason Mallister to honorable single combat to decide Seagard's fate, knowing he might well lose. Mallister agreed. He knew the other ironborn might not honor the outcome, but he sensed Rodrik was "different" and could not justify refusing him. A duel would in any case buy time for his smallfolk to seek safety in Seagard and for the castle to prepare its defenses and send ravens. Mallister's skill and experience proved too much for Rodrik's size and Valyrian Steel. At a certain point, Rodrik was probably wounded, and he either yielded or was about to yield, probably because Nightfall's blade was broken. It was likely then that his younger brother Maron, a jealous and ambitious youth inclined to petty cruelty, ordered the ironborn to attack Seagard despite Rodrik's oath that the ironmen would abide by the results of the duel. They'd come for rape and plunder and they would have it! In the ensuing assault, Maron, who fancied himself an ace archer—a skill Theon admired and sought to emulate—shot and gravely wounded Rodrik with an arrow (which may have been poisoned), likely in the belly. I think this was likely an accident, and Maron's arrow intended for Lord Jason. It's possible it was intentional, though. It's also possible Rodrik, aghast at Maron's treachery, threw his body into harm's way. Maron likely acted like Theon might in that situation: he got defensive, warding off guilt by contemptuously blaming Rodrik for treating with the Mallisters and putting him in a no-win situation. The battle predictably turned against the undisciplined ironborn, whose "tactics" were no answer for the tall, strong walls of Seagard. As Rodrik lay stricken and dying, his fast friend Harras Harlaw hovered protectively over him. Rodrik pressed Nightfall into Harras's hands and told him it was his now—Balon and his ilk didn't deserve such a weapon, and he would not survive. Harras did not want to abandon Rodrik, but Rodrik ordered him to save the sword even if it meant men thought him a yellow coward who'd pissed himself in battle. Maron made no effort to save Rodrik, who was believed as good as dead, and Rodrik was, in effect, "left behind to rot" by his brother, Balon's second son. The Narrative, Evidence Free, Part 2 I think the foregoing is on fairly solid ground and will prove largely true. Subsequent events are hazier, but I think we can make some decent, specific guesses about them. Maron returned to Pyke expecting to be feted for prosecuting the attack on Seagard and anointed Balon's heir. Instead Balon took a big old dump on him. After all, Maron had failed to take Seagard, and worse yet many were saying he was a kinslayer, having shot Rodrik, whose name was perhaps being (perversely, in Maron's eyes) "posthumously" hailed. As Victarion says: The kinslayer was accursed in the eyes of gods and men, but the warrior was honored and revered. (FFC tR) Robert quickly conquered Pyke. Maron, with the opprobrium of kinslaying and perhaps the threat of exile and disgrace hanging over him, most likely decided to "die" and seek his fortune elsewhere under a new name. He left the Iron Islands and became the guy we know as Bronn. Meanwhile, Rodrik's life was miraculously saved by one Maester Kym, who was either Jason Mallister's or Hoster Tully's maester at the time. At some point (perhaps before Kym's intervention) Rodrik was imprisoned at Riverrun. I suspect a Robb Stark/Jeyne Westerling scenario developed in which Rodrik fell in love with a woman he met while recovering. Shot by his own brother and seemingly betrayed and then abandoned to die by his people after leading an aggressive attack he wanted no part of, and perhaps in love with a woman he knew Balon would never permit him to wed, I suspect Rodrik asked that it be put about that he had died. The Riverlanders could gain no advantage from Rodrik as a hostage: Balon wasn't one to pay the gold price of a ransom for his flesh and freedom, nor to make political or military concessions to save Rodrik's life. In any case, Robert issued a blanket pardon at war's end. The secret of Rodrik's survival and his eventual anonymous release probably owed much to Jason Mallister, who knew that Rodrik had acted honorably at Seagard (as against the rest of the ironborn raiders, including Maron) and who understood his wish to live the simple, happy life of a family man, freed from his ironborn and Greyjoy identities. Rodrik settled in a village in the riverlands, a royal enclave surrounded on all sides by Blackwood land and held directly from the crown, perhaps by a distant cousin of the Mallisters, Lord Lothar Mallery. In that village, called Pennytree, Rodrik Greyjoy took the name Lem, perhaps in homage to the maester who'd saved him. I suspect he worked as a blacksmith. He married, probably giving his wife a yellow bride's cloak. When the War of the Five Kings began, Lannister men fell upon Pennytree. "Lem" was unable to get his wife and daughter behind the stone walls of its holdfast in time, and they were killed. It is likely his wife's blood somehow got on her bride's cloak, and Lem subsequently took to wearing it and refusing to wash it. Having survived the attack on Pennytree, I suspect Lem traveled to King's Landing, as a survivor and witnesses to Gregor's attacks and/or as a squire or man-at-arms for Lord Lothar. When Ned sent Beric, Thoros, Lord Lothar and Ser Gladden Wylde to bring the Mountain to justice, I suspect Lem was one of the "squires and men-at-arms" who rode with them. He survived the ambush at the Mummer's Ford, and may have been knighted in the aftermath, likely by a dying Ser Gladden. Upon being knighted, he adopted the surname Lemoncloak. The Brotherhood Without Banners was formed in the wake of Mummer's Ford, and Lem was consequently called Ser no more often than the other "knights of the hollow hill". While "Lem" was a husband and father in Pennytree, his embittered, effectively exiled brother Maron roamed, fought, and brooded, trying to forget what he'd done to Rodrik. At some point he may have come to believe Rodrik survived. His search for Rodrik and absolution may be why "Bronn" is in the Riverlands in AGOT. Pardon My Mess That's my best guess as to what happened. In order to explain how I came to this, I'm going to discuss a variety of clues, metaphors, and (figurative) "rhymes" one at a time and try to show how each alludes to this or that little piece of the foregoing narrative. I won't pretend I've assembled a cohesive essay as such, as I jump around a bit from heading to heading. My hypothesis is the result of allusions coalescing rather than anything approaching proof, so I'm sure it will frustrate many. It is what it is. Rodrik, The Knight, The Reader The fact that Victarion remembers Rodrik as a "fast friend" of "The Knight", Ser Harras Harlaw, a man who embraces the Seven and greenland traditions and who is the handpicked heir of Rodrik the Reader—himself the living antithesis of a stereotypical ironborn man—opens the door to the idea that Rodrik wasn't enamored of the Old Way. Given that this is fiction, Rodrik being named for Rodrik the Reader and mothered by the Reader's sister suggests the same. (It doesn't hurt to see how much Theon struggles with the ways of the ironborn, either. ) Quellon Greyjoy was Rodrik's grandfather, and was the head of House Greyjoy until 283, a mere six years before Rodrik "died". Quellon was nothing like Balon. He was a renaissance man who "spent most of his long reign avoiding war". He brought maesters and the Faith to the Iron Islands, abolished thralldom and encouraged trade with Westeros. His third wife was a greenlander. (TWOIAF) I suspect Quellon's views had a huge impact on his oldest grandson Rodrik. I believe Rodrik, while no intellectual, was captivated by greenland tales of chivalry and honor, absorbing many of the values espoused by Quellon and Rodrik Harlaw, much to Balon's chagrin. I think he became in essence a knight without the title, with Harras (who would later be known as "The Knight") perhaps serving as his squire. If Quellon believed Rodrik was made of nobler stuff than Balon, it makes sense that he might have passed or willed Nightfall to Rodrik before he died. (I'll explain the reason I think Nightfall was still in Greyjoy hands at this time in a later section. ) Meanwhile, Maron was Rodrik's younger brother, more clever and more ambitious. Everything we know about Bronn suggests Maron had no similar interest in chivalry or honor. Maron saw himself as Balon's "true" son, his "rightful" heir, denied by an accident of birth order. "Like A Peace Banner" "Lem" does something striking with the duck he retrieves from the pond in ASOS Arya II: "We shot a duck. " Lem held it out like a peace banner. He does this immediately after walking in to Sharna's inn with boots muddied like Victarion's are "when he wades ashore", as Rodrik surely waded ashore when he attacked Seagard. I suspect the sequence alludes to Rodrik (who I argued last post "rhymes" with Rolly "Duck" Duckfield) approaching Seagard's walls under a peace banner. There's another hint that this is what happened. Remember how Theon thinks Patrek Mallister is "not too ill a fellow"? That's an awkward turn of phrase, and hence a suggestive one. Hoster Tully, in contrast, is called, verbatim, "too ill". Too ill to do what? To negotiate a peace with Renly. I believe this juxtaposition hints that Patrek's father Jason was "not too ill a fellow" to meet Rodrik under his peace banner, and that Jason and Rodrik agreed to face one another in single combat. Why single combat? Single Combat When Attacking A Castle Rodrik approaching Seagard under a peace banner and challenging Jason Mallister to single combat pays off what we're shown over and over when castles are assaulted: Someone always proposes single combat. Ser Harras Harlaw Attacks A Castle The most pertinent example? It just so happens that Rodrik Greyjoy's "fast friend" The Knight, Ser Harras Harlaw, proposes single combat when he's ordered to attack an unsuspecting settlement in The Reaver, thereby sparing countless lives: "The Knight took Grimston by himself. He planted his standard beneath the castle and defied the Grimms to face him. One did, and then another, and another. He slew them all... well, near enough, two yielded. When the seventh man went down, Lord Grimm's septon decided the gods had spoken and surrendered the castle. " (FFC tR) Rodrik likely did much the same thing at Seagard. Notice that The Knight plants his standard "beneath the castle", which is basically how Rodrik's place of death is described (once in the context of his friendship with Harlaw): As a boy [Harras "The Knight"] Harlaw had been fast friends with Balon's eldest son, Rodrik, who had died beneath the walls of Seagard. Lord Jason [Mallister] had slain Rodrik Greyjoy under the walls of the castle … The implication is right there. It's also interesting that two of the Knights' opponents yielded. I think it's possible that Rodrik likewise yielded when Mallister got the better of him. Oznak zo Pahl: The Hero Who Pisses If the Knight challenging the Grimms to single combat isn't enough, let's consider the challenge the Meereenese "hero" Oznak zo Pahl makes against Dany. The challenge is made "beneath the walls" of Meereen— But the hero [OzP] did not hide. …Back and forth he rode beneath the walls of multicolored bricks, challenging the besiegers to send a champion forth to meet him in single combat. (SOS Dae V) — exactly the same phrase used to describe Rodrik's death when we're told of his friendship with The Knight. Notice that Oznak basically acts like a cracked-out Greyjoy. First, he makes like Asha/Euron/Maron/Bronn Greyjoy talking smack (or like Theon trying to): The pink-and-white hero taunted the besiegers for an hour, mocking their manhood, mothers, wives, and gods. Then he pisses at them: They watched Oznak zo Pahl dismount his white charger, undo his robes, pull out his manhood, and direct a stream of urine in the general direction of the olive grove where Dany's gold pavilion stood among the burnt trees. He was still pissing when Daario Naharis rode up … Who does he think he is? Aeron Greyjoy? The Drowned God gives every man a gift, even him; no man could piss longer or farther than Aeron Greyjoy, as he proved at every feast. Once he bet his new longship against a herd of goats that he could quench a hearthfire with no more than his cock. Aeron feasted on goat for a year… Asha mentions pissing contests as well, making it a family matter: "Is that why I always lose the pissing contests? " Asha laughed. (FFC tIC) Lem's cloak is even likened to piss (for the second time) in reference to a challenge for single combat: "Prove your innocence with a blade, and you shall be free to go. " …a long rasping laugh that echoed off the cave walls, a laugh choking with contempt. "So who will it be? " He looked at Lem Lemoncloak. "The brave man in the piss-yellow cloak? (SOS A VI) I have to read all this as auguring the same thing as the story of The Knight at Grimston: that Rodrik Greyjoy challenged Jason Mallister to single combat at Seagard. The Assaults on Storm's End, Dragonstone and Riverrun There's plenty of other single combat offered to decide attacks on fortifications. A quick run-through these situations is illuminating, and probably tells us why (a) Rodrik made the challenge, and (b) Jason Mallister agreed to meet Rodrik's challenge. In ACOK, Renly's besieged castellan, Cortnay Penrose, offers Stannis single combat to decide the siege of Storm's End. Penrose does so not because he believes he will win that duel, but to seek an honorable exit that will allow him to fulfill his duties while saving countless lives. Stannis rejects him because he is mistrustful, fears treachery, and does not want to risk Penrose somehow winning. Stannis derisively comments that chivalry-conscious Robert would have met Cortnay's challenge. And his chivalry-happy knights are all eager to take up the cause: Lord Caron agreed. "An easy victory, to be sure. And what glory, to win Storm's End with a single stroke! " (Dav II) I see Rodrik at Seagard as a lot like Courtney Penrose here, perhaps colored with some of Bryce Caron's visions of knightly glory: he understood he might lose to the renowned and deadly warrior Jason Mallister, who "had cut down three of Rhaegar's bannermen on the Trident", but by challenging him to single combat over Seagard he would fulfill his filial obligations, keep his honor, win a glorious victory or die in battle against a worthy foe, and—he hoped—prevent mass casualties and the rape of the settlements surrounding Seagard. (GOT S II) Rodrik thus saw two possibilities where Loras recognized only one when he assaulted Dragonstone: Ser Loras lusts for glory as real men lust for women, the least the gods can do is grant him a death worthy of a song. (FFC C VII) Rodrik was probably more like Black Lorren at Winterfell, whose acceptance of death is described less than a page after it's noted that he and Theon are "beneath the great grey walls" of Winterfell, again recalling the language of Rodrik's death "beneath the walls" of Seagard: He means to die, thought Theon. It's not victory he wants, it's an end worthy of a song. (COK Th VI) Lorren, it should be noted, is clearly contemptuous of Theon's threats against non-combatants, and that's suggestive as regards Rodrik's motives at Seagard. At Storm's End, Stannis considers putting Cortnay's father in a noose, as Theon does to Beth Cassel at Winterfell. But he believes Cortnay would watch his father die rather than relent, just as Theon feels Ser Rodrik will do his duty and attack even if it means Beth's life. The Blackfish likewise dares the Freys to hang their hostage, Edmure, by refusing to surrender. Many men, then, are willing to watch a loved one die rather than forsake the fight, right? So it's telling that in this respect, Jason Mallister is pointedly different than Cortnay Penrose, Rodrik Cassel or the Blackfish: He ends his resistance and cedes Seagard to Black Walder Frey when his son Patrek is "noosed", suggesting he values family and perhaps lives in general more than bleeding a foe (at least in a losing cause). It might make sense that he would esteem the same quality in a foe, and I suspect he did just that when he recognized that Rodrik was offering single combat to save lives. So why did Jason answer Rodrik's challenge? We saw Stannis refuse single combat out of mistrust and perhaps the fear of failure. Later, Stannis's castellan at Dragonstone (Bryce Caron's bastard half-brother) and the Blackfish at Riverrun refuse single combat when they are defending castles, preferring to let their superior defensive positions bleed their attackers, even if they are sure to ultimately fall. The Blackfish also mistrusts that the siege would be lifted if he wins: "Why would [the Blackfish] deign to accept your challenge, ser? " asked Ser Forley Prester. "What could he gain from such a duel? Will we lift the siege if he should win? I do not believe that. Nor will he. A single combat would accomplish nought. " (FFC Jai VI) Cersei explains that Rolland Storm, Stannis's castellan at Dragonstone, is "no callow tourney champion but a seasoned killer". Jason Mallister is as well, but whereas Rolland is described as a good man with "an air of tattered chivalry", I think Mallister's chivalry is untattered, so to speak. (SOS Dav VI) It's Barristan Selmy who shows why a chivalrous man might agree to duel Rodrik. When Oznak zo Pahl challenges Dany, she wants to ignore him, calling him "a buzzing fly, no more. " Jorah agrees that Oznak "does us no harm, " but Selmy differs with him: "Wars are not won with swords and spears alone, ser. Two hosts of equal strength may come together, but one will break and run whilst the other stands. This hero builds courage in the hearts of his own men and plants the seeds of doubt in ours. " "And if our champion were to lose, what sort of seed would that plant? " "A man who fears battle wins no victories, ser. " "We're not speaking of battle. Meereen's gates will not open if that fool falls. Why risk a life for naught? " "For honor, I would say. " (SOS Dae V) Selmy knows fighting Oznak won't cause the city to surrender, but for him that simply doesn't matter: the duel must be fought for reasons both practical (morale) and idealistic. Like Selmy, Jason Mallister is a man whose honor is noted— "Jason Mallister and Tytos Blackwood will fight on for honor's sake…" (SOS Ty VI) —and as such it makes sense that he did what Barristan would have done and answered Rodrik Greyjoy's challenge, even if his "bone-deep mistrust of the ironborn" led him to believe the ironborn would subsequently attack even if he defeated Rodrik, and even if Rodrik intended to honor the result. (SOS J VI) (Incidentally, that "bone-deep mistrust" recalls Bronn/Maron being called "bone thin and bone hard". [GOT C IV] Might this linguistic overlap hint that Jason's mistrust is rooted in Maron's treacherous refusal to abide by Rodrik's honorable defeat in single combat? ) Given that Jason was only 7 years removed from being a singular badass during Robert's Rebellion, I have to think he was likely to defeat Rodrik in a fair fight. And I suspect he did, or was about to—perhaps Rodrik yielded after suffering some wound—before Maron Greyjoy's treacherous actions altered the course the Greyjoy brothers' lives. "The Treachery of Brothers" It's my belief this line from ADWD Victarion I — Bitterly Victarion brooded on the treachery of brothers. —will someday be seen as portending massive revelations about Victarion's nephews Rodrik and Maron. The Treachery of Maron Greyjoy, Balon's "Second Son" Tyrion looks at Snatch, a sellsword of the Second Sons, and is reminded of "Bronn"—Balon's second son Maron, who was supposedly "buried" under a collapsed tower and whose brother Rodrik supposedly died at Seagard—just before he thinks of (the) Second Sons launching raids, storming cities, being "buried" and leaving "brothers… behind to rot": [Tyrion] wondered how many battles these Second Sons had fought. How many skirmishes, how many raids? How many cities have they stormed, how many brothers have they buried or left behind to rot? (TWOW Ty I) It's my belief that this passage is intended to connote that the supposedly "buried" alive Maron was present when his brother Rodrik (verbatim) " stormed Seagard", and that Maron left Rodrik "behind to rot", believing him as good as dead. (COK Th I) In addition, the reminder that ambitious, ruthless Bronn/Maron is a second son invites us to consider that for him, Rodrik's death would have been a stepping stone to inheritance, in light of what we're told about the company— Among the oldest of the free companies is the Second Sons, founded by twoscore younger sons of noble houses who found themselves dispossessed and without prospects. (TWOIAF) —and about second sons in general: "A second son must find glory where he can. " (COK C III) "The sons of the first son come before the second son. " (COK B V) Brightwater Keep and all its lands and incomes were granted to Lord Tyrell's second son, Ser Garlan, transforming him into a great lord in the blink of an eye. (SOS Tyr III) "I am no second son now, " he went on. "I am the rightful Lord Botley, as you said yourself. " (FFC tKD) His aunt [Genna] looked at [Jaime] strangely. "I was seven when Walder Frey persuaded my lord father to give my hand to Emm. His second son, not even his heir. Father was himself a thirdborn son, and younger children crave the approval of their elders. … Only Tywin dared speak against the match. " (FFC Jai V) That last quote is particularly tantalizing: if Maron believed Balon would not approve of Rodrik's decision to decide the fate of Seagard via single combat, it makes sense that he might have ordered the ironmen to assault Seagard regardless of the duel's outcome in hopes of winning Balon's approval. Maron's Done This Before! Tyrion's prophetic musings regarding "brothers… left behind to rot" aren't the only sneaky suggestion that Maron left Rodrik behind to "rot" at Seagard. Indeed, we're actually shown Maron himself doing his best to recreate that history three times when we first meet him on the road to the Vale. First, after their fight with the clansmen, "Bronn" insists Cat's party leave bodies exposed where they will very literally rot: "This soil is too stony for digging, " Ser Willis said. "Then we shall gather stones for cairns. " "Gather all the stones you want, " Bronn told her, "but do it without me or Chiggen. I've better things to do than pile rocks on dead men … breathing, for one. " (GOT Ty IV) Second, after Ser Rodrik (who is said to be a shadow, which is what Brienne calls "Lem" a. k. a. Rodrik) is gravely wounded on the road to the Vale, Bronn wants to leave him for dead—figuratively to rot, as with his brother Rodrik at Seagard—as well: "When we reach your keep, I would take it kindly if you could send for Maester Colemon at once. Ser Rodrik is feverish from his wounds. " More than once she had feared the gallant old knight would not survive the journey. Toward the end he could scarcely sit his horse, and Bronn had urged her to leave him to his fate, but Catelyn would not hear of it. (Cat VI) Notice that Catelyn Tully asks that a Maester tend to Ser Rodrik, and that said maester saves his life. I believe this reworks Hoster Tully's one-time maester Kym saving Rodrik Greyjoy's life after Seagard. Finally, Bronn threatens to leave Tyrion behind to his presumed death when they're forced out of the Vale: Beneath a fall of black hair, Bronn's dark eyes regarded Tyrion suspiciously. "I should leave you here with your fool's fire. If I took your horse, I'd have twice the chance to make it through. What would you do then, dwarf? " "Die, most like. " (GOT Ty VI) This comes a moment before Tyrion reveals that he had seen Bronn kill his supposed friend Chiggen to silence him when he was wounded in the belly with an arrow—a portentous sequence vis-a-vis my theory that Bronn shot Rodrik in the belly at Seagard, and one I'll return to later. Shadows, Pacing, and the Fossoway Parallel When we see Rodrik's shadow— Lem paced back and forth, coughing, a long shadow matching him stride for stride … (SOS A VIII) —do what his "near a shadow" brother Maron does— They set off across the bailey, Bronn matching his long stride to Tyrion's short one. —this suggests not just a relationship, but the nature of that relationship: Rodrik cast the shadow in which Maron walked. This is an inversion of Victarion growing up in the shadows of Balon and Euron— Growing to manhood in the shadow of his brothers, [Victarion] had followed Balon dutifully in everything he did. (FFC tR) —inasmuch as this time it was the larger, Victarion-esque "good brother" (note that there is literally an ironborn house called House Goodbrother) Rodrik who was older and hence cast the shadow in which the leaner, Euron-and-Balon-ish "bad brother" Maron might "follow dutifully"… or see his jealousy and ambition seethe and fester. Victarion was content to live in his brothers' shadow — A younger brother owes obedience to an elder, and Victarion was not a man to sail against tradition. (FFC tP) Obedience came naturally to Victarion Greyjoy; he had been born to it. (FFC tR) —but (as the flip-flopped roles augur) plainly Maron was anything but. A detail in the "matching stride" passages points to the fraternal rift between Rodrik and Maron. Lem's pacing ("Lem paced back and forth…") is duplicated verbatim by only one other person in the canon: Raymun Fossoway— Raymun Fossoway paced back and forth, wondering where his cousin had got to. (tHK) —who plays the "good" cousin to Ser Steffon Fossoway's "bad apple" in The Hedge Knight and is seen here unwittingly awaiting Steffon's betrayal (which ultimately leads to the formation of the "Green Apple" Fossoways). The parallel suggests that Rodrik and Maron's relationship is similarly schismatic. This reading is reinforced by the beverage Theon drinks with the Rodrik-ish Patrek Mallister when he recalls, for the very first time, his brothers Maron and Rodrik and their deaths: …Patrek… shared his father's cautions and a jug of green-apple wine. Green-apple wine, as in the Green Apple Fossoways. "A Black Iron Halfhelm Shaped Like A Cone" In my first post on Lem, we saw that many aspects of his appearance, weapons, etc. encode him as a Greyjoy. I wrote that I'd eventually talk about his cone-shaped helm, and that time is now. Lem's conical halfhelm leads us to a symbolic representation of Rodrik's "death" and abandonment at Seagard, as well as to more hints that he's a Greyjoy in general and that he sought to spare Seagard from the depredations of the ironborn. Lem wears… …a black iron halfhelm shaped like a cone. (SOS A II) There are only three other conical helms in ASOAIF, and I think each of them tells us something about "Lem". The Unsullied The first description of the Unsullied— They wore nought but white linen clouts knotted about their loins, and conical bronze helms topped with a sharpened spike a foot tall. (SOS Dae II) —contains cone shaped helms, as well as two more textual connections to Lem. First, the Unsullied wear "clouts", described in a manner that recalls Aeron Greyjoy's clout: The priest followed, naked but for a sealskin clout that covered his private parts. And of course, Lem makes like Dunk and "clouts" Gendry. Second, their helms have "foot tall" spikes, which matches the verbiage used to describe Lem just before his conical helm appears: The man beside him stood a good foot tall er, and had the look of a soldier. A longsword and dirk hung from his studded leather belt, rows of overlapping steel rings were sewn onto his shirt, and his head was covered by a black iron halfhelm shaped like a cone. The Unsullied are soldiers, while Lem is a "big soldier" with "the look a soldier. " They're also incredibly-well disciplined and eunuchs, and one of their "selling points" is that they do not rape nor plunder. Indeed: "Plunder interests them no more than rape. " (SOS Dae II) That sounds like the polar opposite of typical ironborn reavers, who live for plunder and rape but have no discipline: "The ironborn lack the discipline to stand a charge of armored horse. " (COK Th V) When I say the Unsullied and the ironborn are opposites, I mean it. What are the Unsullied most famous for? Defending a city by standing firm against "a charge of" rapacious horsemen: "The Dothraki charged. The Unsullied locked their shields, lowered their spears, and stood firm. Against twenty thousand screamers with bells in their hair, they stood firm. " (SOS Dae I) This stand against the Dothraki, who are essentially the ironborn of the Dothraki Sea, is effected verbatim "beneath the walls" of Qohor in defense of that city. (Remember, Rodrik died "beneath the walls" of Seagard. ) Rodrik being textually linked with the Unsullied is thus consistent with both (a) the idea that he was a disciplined soldier, not a raping plunderer, less Balon's son than Quellon's grandson and best friend to The (future) Knight, and (b) the idea that he acted to protect Seagard from the ironborn (even as he technically carried out Balon's orders to attack by challenging Jason Mallister). Lharys ASOIAF's second other cone-helmet belong to Lharys, one of the "men-at-arms" who guards Tyrion on the road to the Vale. Lharys has… … wild tufts of rust-colored hair sticking out from under a conical steel cap. (GOT T IV) "Wild" hair sounds like Theon's hair, "wild as the wood", and Lem's best friend the Ghost of High Heart's "thin white hair flying wild". It also remind me of the "Wild Hares", the group of young knights Theon and his ironborn slaughter in ACOK, after which a looting scene takes place that is perhaps the single biggest clue that Maron shot Rodrik at Seagard. (I'll discuss this in a later section. ) The name "Rodrik" (as in Cassel) appears just before and just after this mention of Lharys's conical helm, as well. But here's where GRRM's "coding" gets deep. Why does Tyrion know Lharys's name? Tyrion had made a special effort to learn all their names, so he might thank them later for their tender treatment of him. (ibid) "Tender treatment"? How can we not think of this reference to Maron and Rodrik (i. e. "Lem" of the "iron helfhelm shaped like a cone")? That earned [Theon] the worst thrashing he ever had at Winterfell, though it was almost tender compared to the beatings his brothers used to give him back on Pyke. (DWD Th I) A Dying, Badgeless Man With A Conical Halfhelm The final conical helm in ASOIAF shows up as Theon Grejoy watches Ramsay treacherously ambush Ser Rodrik outside Winterfell, acting like he is on Rodrik's side before turning to attack him. This is the main event, chock full of information regarding "Lem" and "Bronn's" collective past, and the day Maron shot his brother Rodrik and left him for dead: [Theon] could hear the crash of iron axeheads on oaken shields over the terrified trumpeting of a maimed horse. The inn was burning, he saw. Black Lorren appeared beside him and stood silently for a time. The sun was low in the west painting the fields and houses all a glowing red. A thin wavering cry of pain drifted over the walls, and a warhorn sounded off beyond the burning houses. Theon watched a wounded man drag himself painfully across the ground, smearing his life's blood in the dirt as he struggled to reach the well that stood at the center of the market square. He died before he got there. He wore a leather jerkin and conical halfhelm, but no badge to tell which side he'd fought on. (COK Th IV) The dying man in the "conical halfhelm" is a clear symbol of the conically-helmed Lem/Rodrik, in that his badgelessness is foregrounded, recalling the badge-eschewing Brotherhood Without Banners (or badges). So why does this Lem-figure drag himself towards the well? What's there? Symbolically, his brother Maron, who's leaving him to die. Huh? In a parallel/"rhyming" scene in ACOK, we see none other than "Bronn" sitting on a well watching a (mock) battle: [Tyrion] waddled out into the lower bailey; his stunted legs complained of the steps. The sun was well up now, and the castle was stirring. Guardsmen walked the walls, and knights and men-at-arms were training with blunted weapons. Nearby, Bronn sat on the lip of a well. A pair of comely serving girls sauntered past carrying a wicker basket of rushes between them, but the sellsword never looked. "Bronn, I despair of you. " Tyrion gestured at the wenches. "With sweet sights like that before you, all you see is a gaggle of louts raising a clangor. " "There are a hundred whorehouses in this city where a clipped copper will buy me all the cunt I want, " Bronn answered, "but one day my life may hang on how close I've watched your louts. " He stood. "Who's the boy in the checkered blue surcoat with the three eyes on his shield? " There is no doubt that these two scenes "rhyme" with one another. Motif after motif is echoed or inverted or played with from one scene to the next. In each, a Greyjoy watches men fighting. Tyrion painfully traverses the castle square to get to a well, as does the dying Lem-figure. Awaiting Tyrion—and thus our dying "Lem" figure—at the well is "Bronn", the same guy who later tells Tyrion: "I'm not your bloody brother. " Tyrion references "a gaggle of louts", whereas Lem is introduced as "this great lout". One scene mentions "a clangor", the other vividly describes one ("the crash of iron axeheads on oaken shields over the terrified trumpeting of a maimed horse"). A horn blows in one scene, the castle stirs in the other. Put them together and you get this cliché, seen elsewhere in ACOK: The horn had stirred the castle from sleep… (COK A IX) The sun's position is highlighted in both scenes. One scene foregrounds the absence of a badge (which ironically pegs the dying man in the conical halfhelm as a Lem-symbol) while the other describes livery in great detail. The serving girls Bronn ignores are carrying fresh rushes, as if to cover the bloody ground left by the soldier in the other scene, whereas Bronn's counterpart-figure Theon is weirdly fixated on getting "clean rushes" when he arrives at Pyke in ACOK Theon I: "And gods be good, get someone in here at once to change these rushes. " (COK Th I) "When I return, I shall expect a warm room and clean rushes…" (ibid. ) The first of Theon's orders caps off a paragraph which begins with Theon foregrounding Greyjoys murdering their brothers and mentioning that his brother are dead: "But Greyjoys were not murdered in Pyke except once in a great while by their brothers, and his brothers were both dead. " Hopefully it's clear that these two scenes dovetail together to hint that at Seagard, Bronn and Theon's brother Rodrik Greyjoy was in a position very similar to the badgeless man wearing a cone-shaped halfhelm like Rodrik's/Lem's: dying, desperate, and perhaps betrayed, bleeding out while his own brother Maron was (at best) content to watch him die. Why a well? Well, if nothing else, Aeron gives Vic a "look that had been known to sour wells" and Theon throws Septon Chayle down a well. (FFC tR) Bronn vs. Vardis: Refighting Balon's Rebellion In this section, I'll talk about my belief that Bronn's duel with Ser Vardis Egen is in certain respects a metaphorical representation of the events of Balon's Rebellion. But here's the catch: it isn't Bronn/Maron who plays the role of the Ironborn. It's Vardis. I think this inversion hints at Maron's treachery vis-a-vis his brother Rodrik at Seagard. The text aligns Vardis with the ironborn—specifically the Rodrik-esque Victarion, who was of course the Lord Captain of the Iron Fleet during Balon's rebellion—in several ways. First, Vardis is said to be "a doughty fighter". (GOT C VII) That's a curious prhase used only one other time in the canon, which happens to suggest Vardis is indeed standing in for the ironborn: "…the ironmen are doughty fighters …. " (DWD J IV) Vardis has "a heavy build" and at one point "bull rushes" Bronn, reminding us of both big, "brawny" Lem and the Rodrik-like "bullock" Victarion, who likewise "bulled toward" an opponent in AFFC.
