Did Jaime Lannister know about the Red Wedding? 

This makes me feel like Jamie on the throne wouldn't be a terrible thing and upon further thinking of that it makes sense. He'd be nice. As long as cersei is no longer alive to corrupt her dear brother.

"What was the name of that bastard he fathered?" "Brienne" "No, that wasn't it" Still one of the best freaking moments ever.

Kev: "The less people who know, the better chance of keeping a secret." Stannis: "Fewer."

Right. The line "the Lannister's send their regards/give mine to Robb Stark" is essentially "Next time you meet up with Robb Stark at his own King's counsel, tell him you're also meeting up with the Lannisters, ya filthy animal." It's one of those lines that needs a bit of think-time.

Can't wait for Winds of Winter to come out... in the year 2059

I think while Tywin Lannister was alive no one took Lannister kids seriously. Therefore I can’t imagine Roose Bolton discussing his plans with Jaime.

I would go as far as to say that virtually everything Jaimie has ever done (minus his relationship with Cersei and pushing Bran) has been honorable. Even though his relationship with Cersei was unhealthy and immoral, he was faithful to her. He was never with anyone else. He saved all the Innocents in KL at great sacrifice to himself, I even think he respected Ned and The Blackfish and just wanted them to respect him too. I agree that he only threatened Edmure with killing his son in order to keep the loss of life to a minimum. Really everything he's ever done has minimized loss of life. Even pushing Bran. By doing that he saved four lives, three of whom were children. Challenging Robb to single combat to save lives, just like Jon did with Ramsey. Jaime also has a lot of parallels to Jon, which I find interesting.

Both books and show he didn't know of his father and frey's plans

I was hoping you would include Jaime's and Walder frey's dialogue where lord Walder says that they are both kingslayers. Jaime mocks Walder because he killed people unhonorably.

“Is that a woman? Where did you find this beast??” I must admit that scene was hella funny😂😂😂

I've never thought that Jaime knew about the Red Wedding. As you say he gave no hints that he knew. He prefers to do his own dirty work, no honour in getting someone else to do it. Caitlyn believed he has Honour, some how she knew he would do as he was asked and not betray her trust. Great video Kev. Thank you.

“The less people who know . . . .” •Fewer•. (All hail Lord Stannis.)

I never thought that Jaime was in on it, but thank you for pulling it all together from book and show. Seeing all the evidence laid out makes me like Jaime even more. Have a great weekend!

Your longer videos with quotes from the books are my favorite videos of yours. They always come together so nicely near the end. One of the few youtubers who only posts videos about theories that they think are true or at least plausible and not just in it for the clickbait crazy theories.

"On the one hand".. I see what you did there. Jaime is my favourite character in the show anyhow. The bathtub sceen solidified it for me.

Thank god for these frequent uploads on a boring Friday night

He knew Bolton was turning his cloak, but not how.

I think Jamie said send Rob my regards bc he knew the Starks were going to lose and figured he could have Roose rub it in a bit not knowing the whole plan.

Jaime, didn't know because it's complicated. Jaime's a complicated man but not when it comes to his sword. He fights at the front, where even the best fighters dare tread. In the bedroom, well that sword is, complicated.

"On the one hand" I see what you did there ;)

“Call it ironic or salt in the wounds” I call it poetic.

I love the fact that the explanation on your videos are so thorough and have a lot of information going from this scene to that scene and in the books and the show. :D

I’ve been binging your videos for the last week as we lead up to season 8. Such a great job and a great GOT page! Love it!!

You are killing it, lately, with all of these videos. I don't think there will be a Trial of Seven like you suggested in the other video...unless you know something that none of us knows...

It's basically a "adios bitches" moment for jaime. I agree with everything you said, jaime is a confident witty dude....and despite being covered in shit and malnourished he does not back down or tone his personality down in fear, it's why he took on brienne while chained, weakened and malnourished and made jokes even after the northerners took his hand. He knew how valuable of a hostage he was and how hard Robb had tried to recapture him, so as a slight revenge of words it was like a taunt to Robb that his own Bannerman was letting him go. Hence, he sends his regards.

Amazing character analysis, even if your other videos about theories and predictions might not follow a single thread(They are always fun, thoughtful and well crafted but sometimes missing some closure), your character analysis is on POINT!! I take my hat off!! Vamo Arriba!

Can’t believe I just found you lol . Love your voice and analysis. Great content !!!

Late to comment here, but I think there are probably two reasons why they changed the phrasing of Roose giving regards. 1. To make it clear in the moment that Tywin was involved in the scheme. 2. Not as important to keep the same as it is in the books. Catelyn heard "Jaime" specifically in the line, and where's Jaime headed currently?

To me it's pretty clear that he knew Roose was switching sides. He just wasn't aware that it was going to happen at a wedding celebration. He probably imagined it happening at an official battle between armies. Or, at worst, some other time somewhere guest rights weren't in play.

Me thinks tywins male children secretly want to be honourable.

This is great. There are few things I enjoy more than analysis. Despite Jaime’s somewhat skewed sense of morality at times, I was always under the impression he didn’t know about the Red Wedding, either. He’s more of a fight-you-face-to-face kind of man, which is honorable in its way. He may embellish and jape and provoke his enemies with words, but he’s not a conniving intellectual schemer like Tywin, Cersei, or Tyrion. I think that’s a major distinction shown in both the books and show.

Dude, so many videos of you in a short period of time, so nice :D

I am so glad I watched this. I tend to miss some of these important things and your grasp of Jaime's character rings true with me. Your conclusions totally make sense. Thank you for your channel. I am learning so much!

You know I truly love your videos . Sometimes you confuse me , but most times you just blow my mind away .I've said this before and I'll say it again . Keep up the great work !👍

Thanks, Kev-I was just trying to determine this yesterday!

Killer video, my guy. You voice is very comforting

Do you ever sleep??? We do appreciate your video’s so much but, please take some rest! :D

I can’t believe I didn’t find your channel until now!! These are amazing!

Jaime's speech about the contradictory nature or a knight's vows is what made me a fan of his. One way or another, he breaks one oath in order to fulfill another, and the stain never gets washed. Also, Firelord Zuko approves of the naming of his noble steed.

Salient analysis. Always enjoy your takes.

Fewer people, Kev. Fewer. 😉

I agree, I don't think Jaime knew - I don't think he would have flippantly said "The Lannister's send their regards." Just can't see it. You video, as always, was great!

Wasn't expecting so much but man your videos are always amazing

I have a crazy (or not so crazy) theory about Jaime. By all accounts, Jaime is the most decent leader and commander left in Westeros. Everything he has ever done, has been for others than himself. He is a great strategist and a cunning warrior, and he does everything while trying to spare as many lives as possible. So my theory is, that we might see Jaime sit on the Iron Throne! Now, whether it would be at the end of it all, that's a whole other story, but in the original outline for ASOIAF, Jaime killed everyone who came in his way, and took the throne. I can easily see this happen in the actual story. Jaime is not, and will never be interested in power, but if it is to protect others, I don't think he would hesitate. He knows how fucked King's Landing and its citizens will be under Cercei & Euron's reign, so for the good of the people, Jaime kills both Euron and Cercei in the great hall, for then to place himself on the Iron Throne. Imagine then, if Jon walks in to see Jaime sitting there, on the Iron Throne, just as Ned did back at Robert's Rebellion.... epic! I know it's super far fetched, but GRRM always plays with our expectations, so I don't think it's very far off ;)

Just joined your channel. Great info and insight into the books and show.

Of course Jaime knew Bolton and Frey would betray Robb Stark. How is not the question, but Jaime knew betrayal was coming. “You’ll give my regards to Robb Stark, won’t you?” and Jaime doesn’t mean that Bolton will give Robb a warm hand shake and a bro hug. Tywin plotting with Frey and Bolton has to be communicated to them somehow. Not by ravens, mind you. Those can get intercepted. No, Jaime was involved and an important messenger. Luckily for him, no one survived the Red Wedding on the Stark side to relay what Roose said to Robb as he stabbed him. Now in the books Roose stabs Robb through the heart from the back and says “Jaime Lannister send his regards.” Then he twists the sword. Bran can see what happened at the Red Wedding, but he won’t. The question is what will Bran do when he sees Jaime when he arrives at Winterfell.

Back to back uploads.Love it¡

Another excellent video Professor Kev.

I’ve watched many RU-vidd analyze game of thrones but you do it so well.

Making a lot of longer videos. I love it.

4:55 "His father, King Aerys." Whelp, either that's a slip of the tongue or Joanna Lannister has some explaining to do.

Absotively appreciate your time and effort. Ty for sharing your thoughts and time. HUGS and blessings. Happy St. Patrick's day weekend for ALL

So consistent love it Kev great vid once again

Your analysis of Jaimie is about as spot on as one can be. Whether in the books or the show, I see a long, slow arc of the Kingslayer becoming the knight he was supposed to have been years ago. His past crimes are numerous, and speak of a spoiled, jaded youth, easily manipulated and puppetted by his sister, his father, his previous (Mad) king, and the succession of warring interests and poorly followed mentors. He has learned some harsh and horrible lessons, leading up to the reluctant opening of his eyes to the world around him that his own weaknesses have helped to create. Oathbreaker, Kingslayer, Cuckolder, Incestuous... What WILL his page (singular...) say in the Knightsguard Book of Deeds?

I have found myself liking Jamie more and more throughout this whole show series. It has never crossed my mind that Jamie knew about the Red Wedding and you just confirmed it. I do believe that Jamie won’t make it to the end but he will regain his honor and his deeds will be written down in the book by Breanne. She has been the biggest influence on how Jamie has been redeeming himself. It’s been slow but you see it....

"your word of honor?" ser brynden raised an eyebrow. "do you even know what honor is?" _a horse._ - jaime vi, affc jaime is so sassy in the books it's incredible

4:57 Did you mean the king he sworn to protect?

I have to say I totally agree, I do not think he had any bloody idea about the Red Wedding! Jaime is a lot of things but he has always had this twisted sense of honour, that is a fact!

Ser Kev you keep out doing yourself Jamie had always been my favorite character even as he pushed Bran out of the window. Your Jamie videos point out so much stuff you I never even thought about. Keep up the good work

I've always wondered about this! Thanks

Your joke delivery was seamless & hilarious ~

I love the longer videos, listening to you helps me fall asleep😁

I always just assumed Jaime told Bolton to send his regards because when Jaime was Robb's prisoner he made a joke about Robb dragging Jaime from camp to camp instead of just leaving him in one place. Jaime would have been dragged to the wedding is Catelyn didn't betray her son. Jaime was mocking Robb.

Great work 😃 keep it doing

Dropping some good videos for the weekend

Great video as always dude.

Why has _nobody_ put a sword holder on his golden hand! Would make his life easier and he'd be less vulnerable to literally everybody. Tyrion had plans to help Bran... he had nothing for a missing hand? Side note... I bet bridge4 has a great singing voice

Thank you, great video.

Another great video, thank u.

Nice! I've always wondered this

Great video! I always noticed his disappointment when Ned was stabbed from behind.

oh wow, that was a great reading of Jaime, Kev. One of your best -- thank you!

Waiting for an extended video for a long time!!!! Love it

AFFC Jaime is the best character ever. His inner change arc is great. I think the show made a mess of it by extending the twincest after his reuturn upon KL. It is amazing how GRRM lets us inside the mind of the most hated character up to that point only to find out that he is a troubled, insightful man.

Thank u sir for this amazing video what a break down 👌

Great video

Just found your channel and wanted to say I dig the Username 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

"Jamie killed his father, King Aerys." Wut?

First of all love all of your GoT content, secondly I just noticed that in the hounds first fire vision of eastwatch and arrowhead mountain the fire violently cracks or a log falls just after the hound mentions the wall at eastwatch. After realizing this was a very clear foreshadow of the wall coming down there and to me felt like the strongest sign of R'hllor directly warning of the Night king. The show has also seemed to expose magic and religion at a similar pace, obviously these two things are heavily connected in this world but I would be very interested to hear your thoughts. PS. I am not a reader, your channel is one of the few I enjoy so 90% of my book knowledge is from your videos, if anything I said was dumb please forgive my laziness and ignorance. PS. PS. Do more LotR stuff. The amazon show is going to be huge and there is an endless amount of lore for content in that world.

Kev, you are on fire, man! Loving it, brother.

Been out of town working with no net, binge watching Bridge tonight is on my agenda while I'm home.

Another good one!

I have the read the books multiple times and have seen the show. It was always my understanding that Jaime orchestrated the Red Wedding. Specifically when he tells Roose Bolton that the Lannister pay best. More importantly, there is the look and reaction from Brianne. Who was too naive to understand what was going on. Jaime is a person that attempts to be honorable, but always commits something dishonorable in the belief that it would save lives. For example kills the Mad King, under the belief that his burning of kings landing would kill more lives. Orchestrates the Red Wedding, under the belief that it would end the war. And then always regrets it. Fulfilling his role as a character that is neither black or white.

Excellent video! 😍 Random question! Have you ever filmed a video about Lyanna Stark?? I searched but couldn't find.

Love your videos

My view on the regards dialogues - Jaime knew Robb was furious that Jaime escaped. Just to piss him off a bit more, Jaime decided to get Roose (one of Robb's closest bannermen) to give him his regards. Jaime didn't know about the Red Wedding, and that's why it played out flawlessly in his mind. When Roose tells Robb "Jaime Lannister sends his regards" - it means that Roose wants the last thing Robb to know is that Jaime set up the Red Wedding and got the Stark family butchered. He wanted Robb to die thinking that the reason his family had to end like this was the result of one mistake by his own mother.

At 15:45, I took it that Jaime was insulting Bolton, because Bolton wanted to be the king of the North, and Jaime was basically saying he was nothing more than an errand boy delivering a message to the true King.

In the book, he wasn't out to kill Ned Stark when he confronted him in King's Landing. He just wanted to kill Ned's companions as a show of force/as retaliation for Tyrion's capture, which isn't exactly honourable. He actually left before the fighting started, but it seems he had given his men orders not to kill Ned, as Ned is the only survivor of the Stark party. Ned breaking his leg was an accident in the book; a horse fell on him. No one stabbed him. It actually messed up Tywin Lannister's plans a bit, as Tywin had sent the Mountain raiding the Riverlands in the hope that Ned himself would lead the small army sent to bring Gregor Clegane to justice, with the goal of ambushing and capturing him to exchange him for Tyrion. Instead, because Ned's leg was broken, Beric Dondarrion was appointed to lead the army. The ambush still happened. TL;DR: Jaime didn't spare Ned for honour's sake, and as a matter of fact the entire attack was pretty dishonourable to begin with

Jaime didn't know, he's a cool dude. Not much to argue about

Great analysis! Stannis sends his regards, and wants you to know it's, 'the "fewer" people that know...'

Short answer ? No. Long answer ? Also no.

Jaime with all his complexities has always been my favourite character. I have always wondered if he will be the one to kill Cersei or if she will kill him? It would be sad and poetic.

This channel is just too good

The people always bringing up pushing bran out of the window. Have you ever heard of character development? He became the man he really is in his character arc. But I believe he wouldn’t have anything against it killing them (ending the war, saving his family) but the way they were killed (at the dinner table without a chance defending themselves and after receiving bread and salt so they have the guest right) it did show when Jaime fought Ned as you showed.

Maybe Jaime sent his regards to Robb as sarcasm to Robbs own mother setting him free. As he always does love to say something clever!!!

Jaime is now my favorite character. Thank you for the analysis!

Dude, I LOVE your voice.

He was hotheaded in the moment..at the end of the day and as older he was a man of honor..in combat he fought like a true knight..salutes ser jamie..

I’m binging tonight. I finally have WiFi and I’m catching up. We are dry camping in the valley and we have no service....we love camping like this....no WiFi sucks! Ciao for now!😉

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT! You are the man!
