The Shield Brienne Carried All Her Life Belonged to Someone She Never Knew

Video Description

Brienne of Tarth carried his shield her whole life and never knew who he was. George RR Martin confirmed this connection himself, and once you see every clue he left across Game of Thrones and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, you will never watch either show the same way again. Here is the corrected opening line for the script Before Game of Thrones, before A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, before any of it, there was a kid named Dunk." "This video breaks down the full story from a nameless orphan boy in Flea Bottom who became Lord Commander of the Kingsguard, to the fire at Summerhall that changed everything, to a shield sitting in a lord's armory on an island for a hundred years, waiting for someone with the same blood and the same code to pick it up without knowing why. Martin hid the answer in plain sight. The books, the show, and now A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms are all pointing to the same thing. This is the story nobody has told from start to finish — the way it actually connects. What you will find in this video: — Who Ser Duncan the Tall really was before the Kingsguard — What actually happened at Summerhall and what the new show just changed about that story — The shield sigil that proves the bloodline and where Brienne found it — Why both of them ended up in the exact same seat, a hundred years apart — The Jenny of Oldstones song playing during Brienne's knighting and why it was not an accident — George R.R. Martin's exact words at Balticon 2016 confirming the connection If you read the books or only watched the show, this one fills in everything in between.
