This is not a film review, this is a scribble textual research. Since I had nowhere to express the depression in my heart after watching this episode, I had to scribble something to mourn Lady Stark, who died tragically and powerless. As we all know, in "A Song of Ice and Fire" written by the old Martin, many plots are taken from the serious medieval European history. And in the lively and joyful banquet, the inferior warriors who wear soft armor are not only the Lord Bolton alone. The most famous original version of this scene in history is the Roskilde blood-splattered glass of wine that occurred on August 8, 1157 in Denmark. According to medieval tradition, kings without a royal army actually had to hunt and drink around the kingdom, accompany the major lords to eat and drink happily to establish personal friendships with them, so as to stabilize the country and ensure that no subjects rebel. And the nobles who had toasted wine, clinked glasses and talked to women with the king, even if they could chew their tongues behind their backs and say bad things about the king, they would be embarrassed to raise their swords and stab at the former guests. Yes, it was a time when everyone was fiddling with the honor of faith. This is why the killing at the dinner table is so ruthless, so cold and so despicable. When the soldiers unload their armor, the women prepare hot food and wine, and the music plays at the table, what you should do is to open your stomach and eat comfortably, and find peace among the wine glasses and barbecues , Forget the worries of life and death tomorrow. Instead of Nima sneaking around and waiting for someone to grab a fork and grab a sword 咻咻咻! The rules of the road are still not spoken, slut! Such a slut appeared at the historical [Roskilde Blood Splattered Glass of Wine] dinner party. He was one of the three kings of Denmark at the time, Sven. After a 10-year war with two other rivals, Knud and Valdemar, the three kings finally admitted that no one could destroy each other and that they were going to shake hands and acknowledge each other's legitimate dominance. So the whole country rejoiced, finally waiting for a feast of the three kings that marked peace. As a result, during the staggering, Sven secretly sent troops to kill the most justifiable Danish king Knud on the spot, and also seriously injured Valdemar, who was related to him by blood. Fortunately, Valdemar managed to escape, dragging his bloody body. History has said that it was a premeditated plan, and also said that it was caused by Sven being ridiculed by the singers at the banquet because of the defeat. Look at how ruthless these most honor-minded guys are when they betray their promises, I think King Xiang wants to talk about ethics in addition to Pei Gong during the banquet, and shyly play a sword-playing dance. It's good for them, they turned their faces and drew their swords to kill them. But perfidious people pay a price! (Tell you about Boltons and Freys! ) Sven's despicable actions caused many generals who had been loyal to him to go to the enemy and expressed their shame on him. At the end of the story, of course, the righteous king of revenge, Valdemar, defeated his cousin Sven on the battlefield and became the rightful king of Great Denmark. It is rumored that the one who finally cut off Sven's head mercilessly was the sister of Knud, the wife of Valdemar, and the empress Sophia of Minsk. Look, revenge really should be left to a woman.
