About this listen
Was Ser Arthur Dayne’s legendary duel at the Tower of Joy an epic blunder? An explosive Avonetics discussion ripped this theory to shreds, and the answer is a total game-changer. For years, the consensus was that the Sword of the Morning’s decision to fight Ned Stark was a “dumb” move that risked the life of the infant he swore to protect. Why not just talk? Why not surrender the baby? BECAUSE NED STARK WAS THE ENEMY. The Kingsguard didn't see an honorable old friend; they saw a top general for Robert Baratheon—a usurper who cheered the brutal murder of Targaryen children. To Dayne, Ned wasn't there to save a baby; he was there to finish a purge. He was bound by a sacred oath to Prince Rhaegar to protect his son from the very army Ned commanded. Handing Jon/Aegon over to Ned was the same as handing him to the executioner. The fight wasn't a choice born of arrogant honor; it was a final, desperate firewall to protect the true heir. It was a calculated sacrifice, not a senseless duel. They knew they were dead, but they had to die protecting the secret. For advertising opportunities, visit Avonetics.com.
