Despite the mockery of "Chaos is a ladder" line, it's actually very accurate characterization of the book Littlefinger. Characterization that D&D forgot during the last seasons.
Littlefinger is supposed to create chaos, because it creates opportunity for advancement. As opposed to acting in a chaotic, nonsensical matter himself.

They absolutely wrote themselves into a corner with the Sansa rape arc. They utterly butchered Littlefinger's character, Sansa's character and the entire "the North remembers" plotline all at the same time. And for what?

George considers him the character most altered, noting that book Littlefinger is much more friendly and better at keeping his true motives ambiguous than TV Littlefinger. Multiple show characters comment on how utterly untrustworthy he is, whilst in the books most of King's Landing seem him as weak and reliable.

All of the designated heroes have turned into villains. Except Jon, but only by the grace of being an idiot.

Also, does anyone else wonder who is actually ruling the seven kingdoms right now? The Stormlands. Dorne, the Reach, and the Riverlands all have no Lord Paramount anymore. And the writers have deliberately killed off every great house that matters so that wouldn't have to bother writing the characters anymore.

Some of your points are good, but I think you're a bit confused about feudal power structures. The Lords Paramount are gone, yes, but the Westerosi equivalents of counts and barons are for the most part okay. Small towns have village councils, larger towns have mayors, minor houses have castles and some soldiers to fight off bandits the local law enforcement can't deal with.

I don't mean to act like this sort of thing doesn't matter at all. To be clear, that sort of instability invariably results in balkanization as trade breaks down and regions become increasingly insular. It's what caused feudalism in the first place when the Roman latifundia became self-contained units during the collapse of the Empire in the West. I'm just saying that for a while, things will work all right. The biggest issue you will have is instability on a larger level, when the people next door think your house looks nice and decide they want to live there (e.g. Germanic tribes in our world, 'white walkers' in GoT).
>>
>>55181588
They're talking about the source material that is ASoIaF you booty goon, not medieval history

D&D have a really faulty understanding of who the characters are, how they function, and why the choices they made early on in the series matter.

My biggest problem with the "Trial" wasn't the silence of the lords. They had shown that everyone in that room hated him. My problem was that Littlefinger randomly confessed when accused of killing Lysa. "It was to protect you".

That gave everyone in the room justification to go forward without a trial. That sort of mistake was really uncharacteristic of Littlefinger

Shown that everyone in the room hated him,
after showing just one episode ago that he was successfully conspiring with both vale and northern lords to increase Sansa's claim to the throne of the North. It's blatantly another scenario where the characters in the show are reacting to information that the *viewers* have.

They rushed through that entire story arc so they could nail Littlefinger to the cross for the finale.

I think he honestly just slipped.

Littlefinger doesn't think well on his feet. Remember when Cersei had him against the wall and all he could do was gawk? If you give him time to plan, he's good - DAMN good.

But if you catch him off-balance he's as human as the next man.

Bran is kind of an ultimate authority at this point, he can at this point recall and quote things that happened years prior and recite them back as they happened.
If someone wants to cross-examine him to verify his ability, Bran could probably call up some details of the examiner's childhood to prove his ability.
And as Sansa has said, only a fool would trust Littlefinger.
>>
>>55195533
Except literally nothing was done to establish that to the characters, and he gets away with it because the writers are hacks that can't separate IC and OOC information. The lords -in the story - allow it only because the viewers - outside the story - know it's trustworthy.
>>
>>55195533

Book version is much more subtle and cheerful to the outside world. Even the people who realise he's a natural-born schemer think that he's just a petty smug snake just on it for the money. He's too much of a moustache-twirling villain in the show.

He literally placed the Starks back into their home, and could have blown up the whole thing by telling the other lords that this was all a plot by Sansa, a suspected traitor who has become "Southernized," to take over the north from John.

They were in with the Starks and the one who might've been loyal to him hated him.

I think that was sort of the point of his death, as badly executed as it was. He accounted for every possibility and was only undone by an all seeing raven god.

He quipped before that knowledge is power, so his maxim and philosophy ultimately proved to be right, just not in the way he wished for.
>>
>>55180899
>the entire fucking trial was a sham
yes because he tried to manipulate sansa into killing her teenage sister. the trial was a pure formality. other lords would have killed littlefinger without any trial for what he tried to do.

>killing the man who is directly responsible for your family's return to power without any consideration?
given the above? yes. absolutely.

>The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword.
>The man
I am sure that Ned didn't expect the same of his daughters.

>The Stormlands. Dorne, the Reach, and the Riverlands all have no Lord Paramount anymore.
Yeah, THAT is actually terrible writing.

>And the writers have deliberately killed off every great house that matters
As if the vacuum wouldn't be immediately fulled by middling houses.

>the entire Frey family was handwaved away
Who took their place? Who holds the Twins now? That would be interesting to find out. The show doesn't deliver.
>>
>>55180899
>The Stormlands. Dorne, the Reach, and the Riverlands all have no Lord Paramount anymore
Do they? It's entirely possible Cersei appointed someone (effective or not) to the position as part of a typical administrative decision, but it wasn't shown on-screen because those regions are not relevant to the story right now. Unlike the books and supplementary material of the books, a TV show doesn't have the luxury of having thousands of pages to write in every little detail. I wouldn't expect the show to go out of its way to tell us who the Lord Paramount of the Stormlands is unless that information is going to be relevant to the show in the future.

Plus, as others have pointed out, frankly most of the smallfolk won't notice the difference, especially since winter has come and most people are only worried about how much grain is in the closest available granary. Indeed, the show has told us on numerous occasions that the masses don't really give a shit who sits in what throne so long as they're not being raided by armies or starving to death.

We're heading into the final season, and it's time to start narrowing down the plotlines that don't contribute to the finale.
>>
>>55198209
>Who took their place? Who holds the Twins now?
Considering Dany's army marched that way soon after the Frey house was wiped out, most likely the Targaryen-Stark army does.
>>
>>55180899
>“The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die."
Ned never actually said that in Sansa's and Arya's presence. He taught that to his sons. And Sansa did, in fact, look into his eyes and hear his final words. Arya condemned the man as much as Sansa did, they clearly planned this together. So, what, were they each supposed to lay a hand on the knife and cut his throat together? It fit that Arya did it.
>>
>>55180899
>Also, does anyone else wonder who is actually ruling the seven kingdoms right now?
Jaime points this out. When Cersei calls herself queen of the seven kingdoms, he points out she rules "three kingdoms, at best."

It's almost like a brutal civil war in which numerous high nobility are wiped out would leave a power vacuum without clear lordship in some regions.

Rights exist in Westeros. So does the concept of justice, and procedures for trials. Every other character sentenced to death on trumped up charges by a major lord or royal had a full trial, with presentations of evidence, defendants, and a time between their sentencing and their sentence being carried out. There exists structure and legality.
Sansa threw literally all of that out, except the pretense of her rule, by just kind of narrating his crimes at him then killing him on the spot.
His rights were ignored, his defenses were pre-empted, and his death was ignoble.
It goes against precedent in the setting, and in the story so far.

>>55198366

>>

Yeah, but it was pretty clear by that point he'd had nothing more to say but begging and pleading like a bitch.

>>
I like how everyone in this thread trying to defend this slimeball continuously ignores three things:

1. Sansa's formal accusation was that Littlefinger killed Lysa Arryn, which he admitted to, because denying it would put her word against his, and everyone in the room trusted her more, because he's LITTLEFINGER.

2. Once he did that Lord Royce (the only Vale Lord present, and representative of the Vale therefore) had no formal or personal obligation to defend him; like everyone else he hated the man's guts, BECAUSE HE'S LITTLEFINGER.

Seriously this is like saying Nicolae Caucescu got a bad trial. Of course he did, but does that make him innocent?! NO, it fucking doesn't, and you're wasting your time insisting that anyone misses the slimy bastard now that he's dead.

Yes.
It means that if you are a noble, and a Lord Paramount no less, you can be killed like a shitbag if you're in a room full of people who don't like you.
Some of your vassals are in the room, some of your ancient allies that you helped A LOT, and you are a guest.
Yet, you can be put down like a dog, just because they don't like you and they say you did something that was wrong.

And now you're gonna go all like "IT WAS LITTLEFINGER AND WE KNEW HE DID SOMETHING BAD"

It doesn't fucking matter, because there was no trial, and it set a precedent that is highly dangerous for every nobles in Westeros.
>>
>>55206457
Is it, though? The lord of winterfell sentenced him to death after formally charging him with capital offenses and pronouncing him guilty. You're asking why he had a blatantly unfair trial in a setting where blatantly unfair trials are the fucking norm and have been repeatedly set up in past seasons, even in S1. Her treatment of Littlefinger was no less fair than Lyssa Arryn's treatment of Tyrion in S1 or Tywin's treatment of Tyrion in S4.

>>55206537
>It means that if you are a noble, and a Lord Paramount no less, you can be killed like a shitbag if you're in a room full of people who don't like you.
Which has happened in the show repeatedly up until now, including Ned Stark in S1 where it was VERY clearly shown that Ned Stark's formal power (being Hand of the King, with a letter from Robert declaring him regent) did not mean shit.

It's not "It was Littlefinger and we (the audience) knew he did something bad," it's "It was Littlefinger and everyone in the room knew he was a sleazy motherfucker."

And yes, there was a trial. Not a fair trial, but are you expecting Constitutional rights in fucking Westeros? It's fair by the standards of the show because the show has repeatedly shown us just how unfair a trial in Westeros can be.
>>
>>55206598
>Is it, though? The lord of winterfell sentenced him to death after formally charging him with capital offenses and pronouncing him guilty.
And the lord of winterfell is not able to judge him. The lord of winterfell is not his king, he his his HOST.

>And yes, there was a trial
No, there was not.
Ned trial was being judged by the CROWN. It was not fair, but it was a trial.
Tyrion was being judged by the crown too, a judge that has legitimacy over him.

Littlefinger was a Lord Paramount, invited as a guest in another lord house. He was certainly not the vassal of Winterfell, and he didn't swore fealty to the king in the north.

There was no legal ground to judge him, there was a crude violation of guests rights, and it was, now that I think about it, an act of war, since a king just murdered a highly ranking noble that swore fealty to no particular king.

The message it sent to every other nobles is, if you go to the Winterfell, you might just get killed if they think you did something they don't like, and you won't get a fair trial, you won't get a warning, and it can happens even if just before you helped them a great deal.

Any nobles making an alliance with Winterfell now is a complete fool.

Jon Snow is his king, you fucking retard. Did you miss where the Vale declared for the North as an independent kingdom? Jon Snow left her in charge while he's off fucking his aunt. Legally, she had every right.

>guest rites
Were revoked when he tried to get two sisters to murder each other so he could marry whichever survived. When Catelyn took Walder Frey's wife hostage, was that a violation of guest rites? No, because they were CLEARLY past that point.

>any nobles making an alliance with Winterfell now-
Knows not to betray them in their own homes because the Starks ain't got time for your shit.

>waw why didn't they warn Littlefinger
Why do you think it's good writing for characters to never pick up on the fact that the obviously sleazy guy who is obviously manipulating you and has a well known tendency to stab people in the back is, in fact, an obviously sleazy guy obviously manipulating you with a well known tendency to stab people in the back?

Am I the only one who realized Baelish intended to kill Ramsay at some point?

I thought that was super fucking obvious. Did people really not pick up on that? After spending like a season and a half creeping on Sansa he randomly marries her to an even bigger creep than he is, perfectly setting her up to re-take the North without even a fight if her husband somehow happened to unfortunately die immediately afterwards, something he's only been doing over and over again since the show started. And it's not like he could've known Ramsay would be defeated at the Battle of the Bastards and killed.

Was I wrong? Did I pull that out of nowhere? I thought it was, like, really obvious that's what he was going for in S5-S6. To the point where I'm shocked other people didn't seem to see that.
>>
>>55206853
>The crown of Lyssa Arryn, apparently.
You mean the "trial" that was considered an abduction by everyone else in the show and when people thought Lyssa was crazy for doing it?

I was speaking about the trial for killing Joffrey.

>Jon Snow is his king, you fucking retard.
He never bent the knee to him, you fucking retard. They recognized the North as independant, they didn't make themselves vassal of the North.

>Were revoked when he tried to get two sisters to murder each other so he could marry whichever survived.
He never held a knife to the throat of anyone. He didn't use violence, he manipulated people. Talking to people and hoping they will do as you wish or tricking them isn't against the law.

>Knows not to betray them in their own homes because the Starks ain't got time for your shit.
Oh yeah sure, that is not relevant at all on the show hammering to the viewer that LOOK IT'S A BAD GUY.
It's not realistic in the least. Saying he's a schemer, sure, saying he's being killed without a trial, no.

But it's enough, I give up, you're too fucking retarded to have a serious discussion. They only thing you can spout is "HE WAS SLEAZY GUYS!!!"
>>
>>55206986
>You mean the "trial" that was considered an abduction by everyone else in the show and when people thought Lyssa was crazy for doing it?
But nobody called for her to answer for it. Robyn was the lord of the Vale at that point and had every right to preside over a trial. Sure it was a bullshit and unfair trial, but Tyrion outmaneuvered her with the rules - demanding a trial by combat was still legal until Tommen outlawed it. It was a lawful trial, not a fair one.

>they didn't make themselves vassal to the North
The Vale is very, VERY clearly in rebellion against Cersei at this point. They recognized Jon's claim as king.

>He never held a knife-
He sowed discord and treason in his guest's home. That is clearly a violation and clearly revoking of his expectation of guest rights.

>without a trial
You keep repeating that, but it WAS a trial. It wasn't a fair trial, but it was a trial.

>>
>>55210047
I think it was the marriage part more than the rape part that was important. Sansa Bolton would be set to inherit the control of the North if her husband had an unfortunate accident.
>>
>>55209989
This is just a few steps from proclaiming ISIS to be the good guys
>>
>>55210074
She already had full claims to the north, and claims don't de jure pass to the spouse. Killing Bolton in an unfortunate accident then producing Sansa would have had similar effect, had he only established her legitimacy at some point along the way.
Marriage has to be consummated to count in this setting. He was selling the virginity of the woman he loves to a known creep.
It doesn't make sense.
>>
>>55210074
She was always set to inherit, marriage or no. Bolton had no real claim to Winterfell, he needed a Stark to marry. Baelish gave him just that.
>>
>>55209989
In settings where orcs are always evil, killing orc babies is perfectly fine, morally speaking. Unfortunately D&D and its ripoffs are not ambiguous enough to really support any argument otherwise.

A battle which never would have happened happen in the first place, if he didn't cause the civil war and kill their father.
>I take it, the fair trial is off the table?
What trial? He admitted to killing Lysa Arryn. That alone is enough to execute him. Everything else was just a bonus.
>He's a good character killed by YASS QUEENS
He wasn't a good character since he sold Sansa to the Boltons - something so stupid and wildly out of character for him, that his plotline never managed to recover from it. It was a mercy kill.

And Daenerys was set to inherit the throne, marriage or no, with the death of Aerys's male heirs. Doesn't mean the person actually occupying her throne intends to give it up for her. Likewise, Sansa may be the Stark heir or at least, since at that point everyone believed Bran and Rickon were dead at that point, but the Boltons occupied Winterfell and had powerful allies in King's Landing backing their usurping claim.

You're confusing law with reality, which is something this setting puts down time and time again.

Even GRRM shits on book purists in the bluray commentary. Listen to Blackwater Bay, S02E09's, bluray commentary if you don't believe me. He also outright admitted show-Shae is better than in the books.

go back to your overwritten, "never take 50 words to say what you can say in 500" doorstoppers with dumbass plots the show was wise to excise like the entire Lady Stoneheart arc.

That greatly depends on whether or not the North is independent in the end, and what is your measure of "winning". There is no version of the endgame where Jon lives until the end.

Littlefinger was not responsible for the war, he just set up the board to see if some key characters would fall prey to their own doubts and paranoia, and they did.

It was people like Catelyn who set the wheels in motion by blindly trusting Lysa's word about the Lannisters murdering Jon Arryn, and then later imprisoning Tyrion thus causing the whole Stark-Lannister feud in the first place. Not to mention Cersei's hand in killing Robert, as well her son Joffrey being unhinged enough to kill Ned. The whole realm was a ticking time bomb waiting to go off.

I think LF had no idea Ramsey was such a fucking stupid mad dog. At worst, There would be a bog standard marriage and wedding night sans beatings and he would have an easier time convincing Sansa to forgive him.
>>
>>55208099
Nah. Arya was killing the Frey men. Remember that Walder wanted her knocked up so he could have a claim to Tully lands. She is no doubt in a room feeling miserable.
>>
>>55210176
Right. Just having him say 'I killed her? My wife? Please Lady Sansa, I would never do that."
>>
>>55212527
Well yeah, he'd never met Ramsay and had no reason to know about his torture of Theon. At worst, he could've known Ramsay and his men flayed the Ironborn, which House Bolton is kind of known for.
>>

JUST

>>55212527
Why did he marry Sansa, his oneitis and biggest ally and asset, to some guy he knows nothing about? EXCEPT for the fact that his family betrayed and murdered her family? Like, what's the plan here?
He says that she's marrying him "for revenge", but all that achieves is legitimizing Bolton's claim to Winterfell and getting Sansa raped. Marrying your enemy for revenge is like fucking for virginity.

We got a new Lich King and a new battle plan. We are going to clean out the regions outlying King's Landing one kingdom at a time. Tomorrow we hit the North. After Sindragosa freezes the kingdom, Scourge mops up.

>Talking to people and hoping they will do as you wish or tricking them isn't against the law.
It literally is.
>>
>>55206986
Are you under the impression that Westeros has some kind of legal standards of evidence and rights of the accused? It fucking doesn't, which the show has been making clear since the first season. Sansa, acting in Jon's stead, presided over the trial, heard arguments, and found Baelish guilty. This is no less fair than Robin's presiding over Tyrion's trial in S1, except Baelish didn't even have the possibility of trial by combat.

He had a trial, and it was one-sided as fuck because literally every trial in the show was.
>>
>>55210157
Cersei has no claim to the throne, she has just killed every noble family who could voice that.
>>
>>55210196
literally every interesting character is at best a footnote. Davos is literally an npc questgiver
>>
>>55213583
Which is simply one more point in favor of the show's theme about power being illusory and resting where it practically resides, not where the law says.

Sansa could give Baelish an ambush trial and execute him on the spot because nobody in the room cared to stop her. End of story. This is perfectly in line with the show's past messages.

>most of Europe was just chill Church rule with farms n sheit, the power structure made sense
>learned a lot about the Catholic relation to knighthood and nobility that literally ruled the era
Medieval times was like ancap theocracy, and despite Le dark ages was slow and chill. If you didn't starve, it was a happy time

Okay, now what's this super accurate GoT book everyone talks about?

I enjoyed the books, but when normies talk about how "realistic" it is I seethe a little. If they had just put it in at least the renaissance it would flow so much better

But you know what I mean, right? I'm a cathanon so it really gets me, but the way they handle medieval culture is so dumb, especially in the show, it actually annoys me

There was nothing wrong with the trial. Brann prove his visions were real, meaning there's no reason to look for other evidence or testimony. The trial itself was a formality, there was no reason to prove guilt, and no reason to wait for him to try an prove innocence because they already knew. Frankly I'm surprised it took this long, Littlefinger's fate was sealed the second Brann touched that dagger, and anyone who watched the last 6 seasons and PAID ATTENTION should have known that.
>>
>>55182179
>couldn't be proven.
The person standing in judgement knew his power were real, that's all that matters.
>>
>>55195558
It was done to establish it to Sansa, and that's all that matters.
>>
>>55202469
That's what kind of disappointed me about his death. How did he not notice that the people around him hated and didn't trust him? He has threatened/almost been the cause of misery for all those people.

Fine, give support to Sansa, but stay a good distance away. Just seems stupid to not be able to detect that people hate you.
>>
>>55214550
How is that any different from every other day in his life?
>>
>>55214637
People before this season disliked him, but didn't hate him. He was a slimebag, but after all he did why do did he not expect people to want to kill him?
>>
>>55177292
High Str?
>>
>>55214718
Are you high? Everyone who talked to him called him scum to his face. Cersei nearly had him killed to prove a point.
>>
>>55214885
Yeah, but no one had any reason before to kill him. He literally surrounded himself by people who wanted see him dead. Like you said Cersei nearly killed him, but didn't since she had no big reason.
>>
>>55215055
Yeah, he gambled and he lost. He thought he had Sansa well in hand, but he underestimated what Arya and Brann had become. Do you think he would have stayed in Winterfell if he knew what a warg or a Faceless Man was? That Brann could see everything that had ever happened, or Arya could wear different faces and be different people? Fuck no, he'd have run for it.
>>
>>55206986
>He never held a knife to the throat of anyone
Except the former lord of Winterfell, who he also had a hand in betraying and murdering, of course, but hey, details, details.
>>
Isn't the book version less hated than show version? I'm sure he's more careful of creating allies and building his power base.
>>
>>55215912
Pretty much, show Littlefinger is just a diabolical mustache twirling villain in comparison.
>>
>>55177680
I think Littlefinger's death was laid out far in advance, and despite the show's portrayal he will most likely meet the same fate in the books as well.

In A Storm of Swords, Arya hears a prophecy from a crone pretty much describing the event.

>I dreamt of a maid at a feast with purple serpents in her hair, venom dripping from their fangs. And later I dreamt that maid again, slaying a savage giant in a castle built of snow.

The first sentence references Joffrey and the Purple Wedding. The second sentence is referencing Littlefinger, and how his house sigil was formerly the Titan of Braavos. It was speculation for a while as to what the second part meant exactly, but the show all but confirms it now.
>>
>>55195662
I do agree. The travel times completely ruined any sense of suspense. The whole season was poorly written and in the end they still broke it up into two fucking seasons anyway. So much shit happened that just didn't fucking need to. Jon didn't need to get tackled into the ice if Benjen was going to save him. Nobody even remembered who that fucking guy was. Having him show up to save Jon (from something that is guaranteed to kill you in about 10 minutes) so he could ride off to be with Dany was just too fucking much. If they were going to have him live why not just have him get on the fucking dragon with everyone else after taking a wound?

Yeah, I get that the whole point of it was to give the Night King a dragon so he and Dany can have a great dragon fight at the end of the next season, I'm confident they could've written it better. I know I could have. Ravens are apparently as good as telephones now because they fly at the speed of sound. Dragons are evidently jet fighters because they can go from one end of the continent to the other in at most two days.

I'm just really bothered by how much care the previous seasons took in stressing the time that it took for information to go from point a to point b and they tossed it all out of the window this season for no reason. I'm glad people called them out on it even if they don't give a shit anymore.

It hasn't been more mature and intelligent for three seasons now.

God, I hope the Fat Bastard has something better planned for Winds of Winter if it ever gets released.
>>
>>55217819
Well, yeah, it's obviously Sansa slaying Littlefinger in Winterfell. His sigil is a titan of Bravos.
>>
>>55182853
>Had John Arryn assassinated to force the starks out of the north
>Attempted to have Bran killed to force a feud between Stark and Lannister
>Pressed for Ned to confront Joffery, knowing it would make matters worse
>Solidified his alliance with Lannister by bringing Margaery Tyrell to Joffery giving him Harrenhall
>Killed Joffery to hurt the Lannisters and further stoke the fire
>Solidified his position within the vale by getting Robyn under his thumb and killing off his mother

The only mistake he made was selling Sansa to the Boltons, had he known John would raise an army to retake winterfell, he could have easily kept manipulating her without losing her trust

By the end he had power over the Vale, Riverlands, Harrenhall, was master of coin and was attempting to gain control of the North

Oh shit, a side character at best is better in the show than in the books. Obviously the show is better than the books in every way!

Ignore that GRRM spent like 3 days with the Shae actor for a documentary and she's a very beautiful lady. Of course he's going to compliment her.

LF didn't try and kill bran.
LF didn't kill Joff.

She's a porn star.
>>
>>55218365
>The publicity of the Golden Bear award for her debut "Gegen die Wand" shed some light on her past, when the Yellow Press discovered that she had acted in several porn movies under a stage name. In her acceptance speech at the 2004 Bambi Awards, she protested against the media coverage of her past as a porn actress. She reproached the tabloids "Bild" and "Kölner Express" for "media rape"

>media rape

Aw, and to think I was excited. Nothing worse than a porn star who doesn't own her fucking work.

Guest rights only apply for a specific amount of time. Littlefinger had been there for about half a year or something. Also we have never seen Littlefinger breaking bread with the stark lords so we don't even know if he applied to guest rights.
>>
>>55206756
>Littlefinger was a Lord Paramount, invited as a guest in another lord house. He was certainly not the vassal of Winterfell, and he didn't swore fealty to the king in the north.
He was invited to the court of the King in the North.
>There was no legal ground to judge him, there was a crude violation of guests rights, and it was, now that I think about it, an act of war, since a king just murdered a highly ranking noble that swore fealty to no particular king.
Guest rights only apply for a specific amount of time. We have never seen littlefinger invoke guestrights and the fact that he is part of Sansa's entourage probably does not make him a guest. Sandor Clegane isn't a guest in the Red Keep either.
>The message it sent to every other nobles is, if you go to the Winterfell, you might just get killed if they think you did something they don't like, and you won't get a fair trial, you won't get a warning, and it can happens even if just before you helped them a great deal.
No the message it sends is that you don't fuck with the king in the north or his sisters.
>Any nobles making an alliance with Winterfell now is a complete fool.
>>
>>55214178
You didn't read the book did you? Most of your points are easily provably false.

Plenty of knights do dumb shit. Not all knights are rapists.
The Dornish have loads of spears
Most lords have a cadre of advisors
They summon their armies from their vassals. Rob waits for a couple of weaks for his vassals to show up. That's not a standing army.
>>
>>55177246
"This is admiral Salen Kotch of the Settlement Defense Front here to make an announcement. I' am to not be, and should not be mistaken for that nobleman lord named 'Jon Snow', who resides in some obscure continent known as Westoros in some unnamed feudal-archaic world. For I am not the illegitimate child-spawn of other filthy fuedal nobles nammed 'Ray-ghar' or Lisa, nor have I bedded redhead snow barbarian or a white haired dragon wench, that is all. Mars Eternum."
>>
>>55218854
>>55218904
While in most real life societies guest right only applies for an amount of time. In westeros it doesn't.

My point about LF probably not being a guest because he is part of Sansa's entourage still stands.
>>
>>55218320
It was literally stated in the final episode that the weapon did in fact belong to littelfinger and there was 0 proof that the lannisters attempted the killing

He conspired with Ollena and was the one who smuggled the poison in and allowed her to put it in the drink

Walder Frey's only mistake was not poisoning Robb instead.

Do you seriously believe that he would have gotten away with it, if he just poisoned the king he invited on the wedding?

>>55219865
Why poisoning him at the wedding? His army was joining his, after all. He had some time.

>>55182853
His plan was obviously on hold until the white walkers are dealt with. He didn't want to weaken human forces with more "chaos is a ladder" bullshit.

Except Jon, who became commander, then king. And Sam, who is still around. And Dario, who is governor in Meereen or something. And Jamie, who has been doing okay since Ep1S1.

I could go on.

Jaime lost his hand and his relationship with Cersei is destroying him.

>too stupid to keep said vassals loyal?

Indirectly you would have a point. A lot of people die because Jaime and Cercei chose to have a fuck in the tower at winterfell.

He's basically Shane from that one copypasta
>>
>>55219749
no.

not in my books.
>>
>>55220100
Again, it's LITTLEFINGER. He doesn't work through loyalty, he uses blackmail, intimidation, and murder. Not a single character in the entire series does as he tells them because they genuinely like the guy. Even Robyn Arryn only agrees with his suggestions because it seems to him to be the right thing to do.
