CleganeBowl; Let’s Get Ready To Rumble!!!


Potential Spoilers Below

I will cut to the chase as to how I believe it will go down.  Cersei who I believe is pregnant by Euron based upon the following excerpt from “The Forsaken”:

The dreams were even worse the second time. He saw the longships of the Ironborn adrift and burning on a boiling blood¬-red sea. He saw his brother on the Iron Throne again, but Euron was  no longer human. He seemed more squid than man, a monster fathered by a kraken of the deep, his face a mass of writhing tentacles. Beside him stood a shadow in woman’s form, long and tall and terrible, her hands alive with pale white fire. Dwarves capered for their amusement, male and female, naked and misshapen, locked in carnal embrace, biting and tearing at each other as Euron and his mate laughed and laughed and laughed...

I believe this woman to be Cersei.  At some point in the story I believe Euron will use the baby to assume power for himself.  I believe the baby to be his but he will not want to wait for the baby to be born naturally or Cersei will spurn him and he will attempt to rip the baby from her womb where some maester under his control will tell him it is viable.  The procedure will be undergone when Jaime and friends will have reached King’s Landing regrouping from their fight with the Night King/Night’s King in a battle that they are losing.  Jaime will go ahead of the main group telling everyone that he can convince Cersei to see their point of view bring her to their side.  It will be agreed and he will make his way to her.  I believe the baby will die in the procedure and Euron will make his way back to the sea.  When Jaime arrives Cersei will be in the company of the Mountain sitting upon the Iron Throne.  Jaime will see her crying and see that she is no longer pregnant.  He will attempt to comfort her but, in her anger, she will tell him that if he had not left her side that none of this would have happened.  I also believe that the throne room will be in the condition that we saw in Dany’s vision with a hole in the roof and snow fluttering in through a hole in the ceiling.  In a fit of rage, she will order the Mountain to kill Jaime.  Jaime will attempt to fight back but he will be cut down and he dies.  Cersei will then go Mad Queen and order the Mountain to “Burn them all!”  This of course is her fallback plan to destroy King’s Landing like she did with the Great Sept of Baelor.  Sansa will have made her way to the scene with the Hound in tow and will have overheard Cersei’s order to “Burn them all”.  This will lead to a fulfillment and completion of the prophecy concerning Sansa:

“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 part was the reference to the silver hairnet given to Sansa by Ser Dontos.  It contained the poison that the Queen of Thorns slipped into Joffrey’s chalice that poisoned him during his wedding feast.  The second is what I believe the event that leads to CleaganeBowl.  After overhearing what she says to the Mountain Sansa tells the Hound to stop him.  The Hound will run to catchup with his brother and find him in a room under the city where Cersei has had wildfire placed strategically in a similar way to destroy the inhabitants of King’s Landing.  The Mountain will turn to find his brother at his back and the battle will begin.  Both will draw swords and the two brothers will begin to slash at each other.  The dance will go on for some time with each man slashing and blocking each other’s blows in a mostly even match.  During the battle one of the Hounds slashes will reach it’s target but the Mountain being already dead will simply look at his brother unhampered by the wound.  It is at this point where the Hound will be caught off guard and will be tripped up and find himself on his back in a vulnerable position.  The Mountain will try to bash in his skull and attempt to do what he did to the Red Viper.  But he will find that his brother is also a powerful man as the two men  continue wrestling on the ground.  The Hound, will find his way to his feet first and will realize that during the battle they have moved away from the room where the wildfire has been staged to set off the spark to destroy the city.  The Hound, momentarily losing his fear of fire, will find a jar of wildfire and hurl it at his brother catching him on fire as it utterly consumes the Mountain.  The Hound will have gotten his revenge on his brother who burned him so long ago simply over him playing with a toy given to the Mountain that he didn’t even play with to begin with.  That will complete Sansa’s prophecy of “slaying a savage giant”, the Mountain, “in a castle built of snow”, the Red Keep covered with snow.  This also leads to my theory on why Sansa will become Queen.  Click here to see that theory.

The scene will then shift back to the throne room where Cersei realizing that she has lost everything that has with the death of Jaime.  She will be clutching his body and crying hysterically with Sansa looking at the spectacle when the Night King will do what he does and reanimates the dead in King’s Landing and this time Jaime will be among them.  He will start moving and Cersei will call out his name when he will reach out and clutch her pale white throat with his hands; one being of gold.  He will choke the life from her as she stares helplessly into his now bluer than blue eyes.  Sansa will have been informed by Jon Snow how to kill wights and she will probably set both their bodies ablaze.  This will make true Cersei’s words to Qyburn when speaking of Jaime: “We will leave this world together, as we once came into it.”



Note:  I used to think that Dany would be the one to have the baby ripped from her womb.  Also note that if Euron doesn’t manage to escape back to the sea that it will be his nephew Theon who will kill him with an arrow, that will fly straight and true, completing his redemption arc.

But this leads to another prophecy which was told to have been something that was supposed to be from the past but that I now think refers to events in the here and now.  Lodos was a priest of the Drowned God and said that when King Aegon I Targaryen attacked the Iron Islands he called upon the krakens to drag down Aegon’s warships.  What if he saw Euron as he is described as a metaphorical  kracken pulling down Jon Snow’s warships whose given name is Aegon.  When I say Jon’s warships, I mean the ones that will be placed under his command after everyone starts following his lead in the fight against the Night King.  Click here to see how the TV show portrayed this.

The tales of Lann the Clever, the Rat Cook and also Azor Ahai I also believe to be stories that Bran, after physically transporting himself to the past, retells these stories as coming from the past but really, they are from his time.  Click here, here, here and here to see my theories on those.

Comments encouraged.  Love to hear the idea’s of others.  Most believe that since I present my idea’s as “fact like” I’m not open to change my viewpoints which is far from the truth.  I simply look at the information presented and go from there.  If you can shine a light on another way of thinking that opens the door to debate.

  1. I just thought of this. Jaime has a prophetic dream where he is in a strange place but reminded him of the watery caverns deep below Casterly Rock. He eventually gets a sword that catches fire and eventually as Cersei leaves she tells him the following:


    “The flames will burn so long as you live,” he heard Cersei call. “When they die, so must you.”

    “Sister!” he shouted. “Stay with me. Stay!” There was no reply but the soft sound of retreating footsteps.

    My theory is that Sansa throws a torch of some kind to burn them and what if Jaime's dream was telling him this. When the flames go out (i.e. his body is comsumed by the fire) that will be his final death and he is indeed dead.
