Catlyn “I swear to god a ghost came in here and killed king renly” Robar “good enough for me I’ll hold them off”

“Dance with me then” & “For Robert!” the final words of Ser Waymar Royce before dueling with and being butchered by the Others. It feels like we barely see the Royce’s but anytime we do they’re the coolest and most honorable in the room.

Fun fact. Robar Royce and the Royce family as a whole is relatively closely related to the Starks. Ned's great-great-grandmother was a Royce. Edit also walder Frey's first wife and mother to his first four legitimate children was a Royce. So I guess you could argue that a lot of the fray's where kin slayers

i was shocked to learn this is your first vid, you're doing great! it would help a bit if you put the quotes on the screen, just to make it easier to follow along. keep it up man:)

YES! Finally! I loved Ser Robar so much during my re-reads but never mentioned it on online ASOIAF forums, due to how quickly he dies in the story. He was on my dream Kingsguard list for Aegon VI a few years ago, had I been the one writing the story. His nonchalance regarding war killed him; war is no casual thing, but he was an honourable young man outside of that nonchalance. Thank you for this video.

Great video. Great point. Never realized how much of a badass Robar was.

I never really thought about Robar too much. But, you're absolutely right. Thank you! Great commentary about a typically forgotten character.

Good job, I really liked your POV. A few notes. Mormont would have informed Yhon that Wymar was late returning, just as he did House Stark regarding Benjen. Robar would not have had the option to deny Ned's command to find the King. The Hand speaks with the King's voice, he even sits on the throne. They Royce family is a first man house who keep the old gods. Ned grew up in the Vale, they have a close connection to House Stark. Robar for sure should have joined Robb. He was a known character that could be known to Cat even though it doesn't make sense. Maybe he was just that naive, or maybe his father ignored him and put all his effort in Andar and never taught him anything. But Bronze Yhon is a highly respected military commander it's hard to imagine, none of that rubbed off on Robar, especially seeing as he is a knight.

Always been more of a Parmen "The Purple" Crane guy myself. Unfortunately I think GRRM forgot about him

Great Video. Agreed, He is a truly honorable Knight. looking forward to more from you.

Robars death was a sad and poignant moment, as he sacrificed himself on Catelyns word. Show version doesn't even introduce us to Renly's Kingsguard or the sheer amount of people that follow him.

The knights of summer

You've got a lot of potential homie. Excellent video. I'm on like my 10th read through of the series and still learned something by watching it. You'll hit a million subs in no time. P.S. Ser Hyle Hunt and Dolorous Ed are two of my favorite supporting characters. Would love to see a vid on either of them. Something tells me you'll kill it.

Im here on the ground floor. I look forward to seeing your channel grow

Great video man, shows a real appreciation for literature and character study.

Great first video bud, fantastic stuff. As an avid book fan, ive always enjoyed Robar Royce as a character! Considered, strong of arm, honourable and from a FANTASTIC house.

good video, you're underrated asf. keep going

Great video need more of this!

Fantastic video, Robar Royce is definitely one of the good ones

Great video! Definitely make more! Happy to say I’m the 200th subscriber

Love this character! great video :)

Renly didn't agree to split the rainbow guard to be fair, lol. He gave it to Breann because she asked it fornher boon. He wanted to give that spot to Selmy.

God damn what a great video keep up the work 🔥👌🏽

Enjoyed the video. Don't think I've seen a focus take on Robar Royce before. Hope you make more original ASOIAF content like this in the future.

This was a wonderful essay, thoughtful and subtle. I would have never thought of Royce's arc as one of "growing up." You nailed it- in his last moments he lived up to all the myths he'd patterned his short life on, and in some ways, he is one of the few heroes in the books. I can't wait for my next reread (8th... 9th? been reading these since the mid 90's) so I can give more attention to this character. I truly believe you did a service to GOT scholarship. If they only offered doctorates...

Oh my Gosh Rob is only 16 when he dies in the books? That’s really sad to think about a 16 year dying in front of his mother and getting his own pet’s head sowed on his headless body

Well done, Ser

Great video! New subscriber here! Nice to get in on the ground floor. Can’t wait to watch your channel grow.

I think Catelyn was a bit biased when thinking rob was more grown, he made some pretty stupid decisions. I love the Royce’s though

Amazing video Earned my sub

Good video bro, you know who is also someone I consider underrated, Maester Luwyn, at least in the first books, he's got a great influence in most of the Stark children, besides one of the very few Maesters to study the high arts I think they called it. And if you're looking for another great fantasy zaga I'd recommend The First Law.

Loved this video, keep going buddy you're good at it.

Excellent video! I look forward to seeing more of your videos! Please do a rainbow guard one!

Great video

Sansa threw her whole family under the bus for Joffery.

Fire video !

You first video is this? Awesome AF!

hey bro what do i google or how to locate the pictures youre using. looking at the westoros map at about 45 secs

Wow despite being made in one take with a not great mic this was very entertaining to listen to and cut to the point. Cool video, a better mic will suit you great.

Love this video :)

Great start to your yt career

Fantastic sir

No shame in the Love for The Game! His Red armor is MUCH alike to the Scarlett Viper's, Queen Alysanne's Sworn Sword. And you are SO RIGHT to know that Robar did something REALLY important here to the storyline. THIS is what she SAID to Robar-she is innocent..I swear on my husband's grave and my honor as a Stark. Her husband is NOT in his grave and she is NOT a Stark. We are MISSING something that happened. Cat did something wrong-Mel is not the only witch with red hair in text...the shadows come to STAY. Where did it go? It left the tent with Cat and Brienne. Cat swore on her husband's grave-she is going to try and get Brienne and Jaime to find Neds bones and return them to his grave before Barbrey can find them-if Barbrey finds them she will destroy them so that Cat remains cursed forever.

You should make a video on Sir Cortnay Penrose the Chad as well. Great video with a lot of good information, btw.

W vid would love a vid on the rainbow guard

Keep it up bro

Nice

Amazing video but it will help adding music to the video

Great video! I totally feel you about wanting to re-read the books as soon as you finish! I always read the main books and then Dunk & Egg afterward. I always try to find something else after but aside from the Saxon Stories series from Bernard Cornwell I’ve not been able to find anything that interests me as much as ASOIAF. I’ve read the books 6 times in the last 2-3 years and I always find stuff I missed or didn’t pay much attention to the read prior. Definitely check out the Saxon Stories series though if you like battles and sword fighting and morally grey characters! The show “The Last Kingdom” is based on those books but the books, as always, are much better!

Robar should remain alive , he could've return to vale and have him instead of Harry the Heir

i believe Catelyn is just anti - fun

He supports Renly whos a tosser

you speak too fast, keep gong th

When I reread CoK I fell in love with his character… this green boy trusted the bizarre words of a stranger woman and was brutally murdered for it… 🥲 To Robar the Red 🍷

Great video
