A show-off to the end, Oberyn at least secured probably the most gruesomely memorable death that Game Of Thrones has yet provided.

In the end, it was a combination of both features that did for poor Lysa. Well, that and their home in an utterly impregnable mountain fortress.
Which is a good enough explanation as any for understanding how the oddly dysfunctional relationship between Lysa and her son Robin had continued for so long in the way that it had. “Everything’s better with some wine in the belly.Perhaps the defining characteristic of pre-modern societies is their lack of well-funded social services infrastructures. “That’s what I do: I drink and I know things.”ĥ.
