Not so important connections

Arya's first was in self-defense... it got easier after that.
 
Who is the heir of the Clegane property, if Gregor and Sandor are both dead? (even though neither probably is, they are both dead in a way, as Cleganes).
 
Depends on the monarch you ask.
Cersei will take their land in the name of the crown
The high sparrow will do it in the name of the church
stannis will burn their land, and then take it.
Dany will do the same, using dragons.

Good real-estate in the west, about the only part in the country that isn't covered by ashes and not soon to be covered by twenty meters of snow.
But there's a nagging thought... didn't Gregor had a daughter?
 
I don't think any of them would really care. The Cleganes' most likely possess kind of shitty holdings being the minor lordlings they are. Despite this, I am sure they have some sort of relatives that would be eager to vouch for the estates.

Has anyone ever found out who exactly Jenny of Oldstones is? Or her Prince of Dragonflies? And why does that strange old hag on top of the hill refer to her as "my Jenny"? Is she her mother? Her sister?

Whoever or whatever she was, she liked her booze.
 
Going through one of my rereads and one of Patchface's random meanderings in the first couple hundred ASOS pages struck me:

"Fool's blood, king's blood, blood on the maiden's thigh, but chains for the guests and chain's for the bridegroom, aye aye aye"

That's the Red Wedding. Clever fool!
 
Oh my! Now I have a strong desire to dig up every one of Patchface's ramblings and have a good look. If only my copies weren't in storage several miles away...
 
I seriously am feeling the urge to do a complete re-read
 
In ACOK, Arya's false argument that convinced Gendry to run with her was that, once that he's commanding Harrenhall, Vargo Hoat will cut one leg from all of the servants, the left one.

In AFFC, when Jaime gets to Harrenhall, one of Gregors man says that the cook opened the gates for them as a revenge to Hoat for choping of his left leg. The cook is also shown walking funny in the same chapter. So the"Kid" was right after all.
 
Hilarious Joke - Even though you know what happens, this series has so many characters, hidden details and themes that every time you read back through them you pick up something new you didn't catch before. This thread is living proof of that. There are so many unanswered questions, but GRRM has left us a smattering of clues that may shed some light on what may be. My first read through I had no inkling of the R+J=L theory, once I started catching on to that I was like...woah...who was Rheagar again?

Ha ha ha, yeah good point. I guess I'm just relying on other people to point out these awesome obscure cross-references to save me the effort. Keep 'em coming!
 
This is probably already mentioned, but when tyrion comments in A clash of Kings about Tanda inviting him for dinner, hoping to wed him to her daughter Lollys, he comments to Bronn, that he should dine and wed lollys in his place.
A couple of books later, he has done just that.
