For other uses, see: Joffrey. I'll GUT you, you little cunt! Stripped of all titles and powers, he would serve the Realm in permanent exile. And my lady Sansa But they have the soft hearts of women.

So long as I am your king, treason shall never go unpunished! Ser Ilyn! Bring me his head! You will never do it again. Tyrion Lannister : " What is the maning of this? She is to be your queen! Have you no regard for her honour? She did not fight her brother's battle , you half-wit! The king can do as he likes!

Has your uncle Jaime ever told you what happened to him? Joffrey Baratheon : " Traitors! I'll have all their heads! Joffrey Baratheon : " They attacked me! Did my hand fall from my wrist? Joffrey Baratheon : " They say Stannis never smiles. I'll give him a red smile, from ear to ear. Soon you will have a Lannister baby. It's a dream come true for you, isn't it? What a glorious day! I suppose it doesn't really matter which Lannister puts the baby into you.

Maybe I'll pay you a visit tonight after my uncle passes out. How'd you like that? You wouldn't? That's all right. Ser Meryn and Ser Boros will hold you down. Joffrey Baratheon : " Everyone is mine to torment. You'd do well to remember that, you little monster.

Perhaps you should speak to me more softly, then. Monsters are dangerous, and just now, kings are dying like flies. I am the king! I will punish you! Tywin Lannister : " Any man who must say 'I am the King' is no true king.

I'll make sure you understand that when I've won your war for you. He killed Prince Rhaegar! He took the crown, while you hid under Casterly Rock! They know I won the war. I broke Stannis on the Blackwater. Pity you weren't there to help. Every time I use it, it'll be like cutting off Ned Stark's head all over again. Arya Stark : " The lion's not his sigil, idiot. He's a stag like his father. He is nothing like that old, drunk king. Axel Baratheon, black of hair Lyonel Baratheon, black of hair Steffon Baratheon, black of hair Robert Baratheon, black of hair Joffrey Baratheon, goldenhead.

Make him better than me. He's your bastard son. Tyrion Lannister : " You just sent the most powerful man in Westeros to bed without his supper. Your brother was not a good king. If he had been, perhaps he'd still be alive. But Joffrey, a vicious boy with a crown on his head, is not a reliable ally.

And who could trust a friend like that? Cersei Lannister : " You still mourn for Joffrey? My king. I did too. You never love anything in the world the way you love your first child. Doesn't matter what they do. And what he did, it shocked me. Watching your vicious bastard die gave me more relief than a thousand lying whores! Tyrion Lannister : " The last time we spoke was at Joffrey's wedding. Miserable affair. House Baratheon of King's Landing. Monarchs of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros.

When Oberyn Martell visits Tyrion at his cell, he says amusingly: "I have much to thank your sister for.

If not for her accusation at the feast, it might well be you judging me instead of me judging you. Who knows more of poison than the Red Viper of Dorne, after all? Who has better reason to want to keep the Tyrells far from the crown? And with Joffrey in his grave, by Dornish law the Iron Throne should pass next to his sister Myrcella , who as it happens is betrothed to mine own nephew, thanks to you". Oberyn's words imply that there have been two parallel, independent plots to murder Joffrey by poisoning.

It is unknown how Oberyn sought to kill Joffrey perhaps the scorpion-shaped brooch, which he gave Joffrey at the breakfast prior to the wedding, was coated with poison ; whatever his plan was, the Tyrells have beaten him to it. In the fourth novel, Cersei becomes annoyed as a result of Margaery's growing influence over Tommen. Suddenly she realizes the Tyrells had a strong motive to kill Joffrey: he was too stubborn to be influenced, in sharp contrast to his sweet gentle brother, so the Tyrells disposed of him in order to make Tommen a puppet king, whom Margaery could easily control.

While that conclusion is partly-correct, Cersei concludes wrongly that Tyrion was the co-conspirator; that the Tyrells helped him escape from prison by bribing the gaolers that explains, in Cersei's mind, the Tyrell coin which Qyburn found in one of the gaolers' cell ; and maybe they conspired to murder Tywin too.

Joffrey's death had been prophesied by an old woods witch , a collaborator of the Brotherhood Without Banners , known as the Ghost of High Heart: " I dreamt of a maid at a feast with purple serpents in her hair, venom dripping from their fangs ". When Stannis is informed about Joffrey's death, he comments " Weddings have become more perilous than battles, it would seem ". Recalling how Joffrey once cut a pregnant cat open, Stannis states that whether Tyrion or the leech ritual was responsible for Joffrey's death - the killer has served the kingdom well.

You give us his death, but deny use the typical pleasure that we would normally get from it. Martin : I wanted to make it little bit unclear what exactly has happened here, make the readers work a little to try and figure out what has happened.

For me, one of the most brilliant things you did is that you kill off these major characters at a wedding, and then you kill off another major character a few chapters later — at another wedding! I never would have predicted that, precisely because of how much you like to vary things. So a feast is the perfect time to use this thing. I think the intent of the murderer is not to have this become another Red Wedding—the Red Wedding was very clearly murder and butchery. I based it a little on the death of Eustace, the son of King Stephen of England.

Stephen had usurped the crown from his cousin, the empress Maude, and they fought a long civil war and the anarchy and the war would be passed down to second generation, because Maude had a son and Henry and Stephen had a son. But Eustace choked to death at a feast. People are still debating a thousand of years later: Did he choke to death or was he poisoned? Because by removing Eustace, it brought about a peace that ended the English civil war. It comes across like it could be either, at least at first.

So finally, any thoughts about how Jack played Joffrey now that this is his swan song? Game of thrones doesn't care at all!!!
