Cersei got her own-back, however, when she slaughtered two of Ellaria's daughters and poisoned the third, forcing the Ellaria to watch her beloved daughter die a slow and painful death. Oberyn's wife, Ellaria Sand, then sought vengeance over Cersei and poisoned her daughter Myrcella by kissing her on the lips. But then, getting too cocky for his own good, Oberyn gets floored by Ser Gregor, who then proceeds to gauge his eyes out with his thumbs. In the trial, we saw Oberyn's masterful swordfighting skills.
Cersei had blamed her little brother for the death of her son Joffrey and had Ser Gregor fight for her.
In season 4, Prince Oberyn Martell was killed by the Mountain, in Tyrion's trial by combat. In the episode, entitled 'The Last of the Starks', we heard briefly about a "new Prince of Dorne."įor those who have forgotten, Dorne was the sunny paradise where the Sand Snakes resided. So who is it? Now, this one had us stumped.until we remembered a throwaway line from episode 4. She then also dies in episode 5, so it won't do any good any way. Perhaps he wanted to switch sides and join back up with the Lannister Queen, but then again, that makes no sense for him to tell her she's not the rightful heir to the throne (not that Cersei cares about that technicality, but still). Like we said, it's not going to be anyone who already knows, is it? What would be the point of that? He could have been writing to Cersei. Vary's note in season 8, episode 5, spoke about Jon Snow being the "true heir". He also strangely removes his rings before he's killed. Just before Varys is taken away by Grey Worm and a band of Unsullied soldiers, Varys appears to burn the note, so perhaps we'll never know who it was meant for. Although Daenerys never actually saw the letter, she'd sussed out that Varys was going behind her back and sentenced him to death by dragon for his traitorous acts - not before Tyrion ratted him out.
