Cersei ? pregnant?

[Boaz]

Will the Faith bring Cersei to trial quickly? I would imagine that charging a queen and bringing in a guilty verdict is not something to be rushed. I understand Jaime's burning of the letter to mean that he will not be riding to Cersei's rescue. So if Cersei does not have a champion coming and the High Septon waits a few months before starting the trial, then do you think Cersei might be showing at the trial?

She'll have no one, like Pycelle or Qyburn, to bring her the necessary herbs in prison.

If the charges against Cersei are lewd conduct, simony, and a libido unbecoming of the Queen Mother, then how will Cersei deny the charges of sexual misconduct when she is pregnant?

Judge: How are you pregnant?
Cersei: I don't know.
Judge: (pointing to Kettleblack) Did you fornicate with that man?
Cersei: No.
Judge: How many men have you seduced since your husband died?
Cersei: None. I cherish my lord's memory.
Judge: Then how is that you are with child?
Cersei: Immaculate conception? Yes, that's it. This must be the Prince that was promised. Oh, the Seven be praised!

Besides the matter of Maggy the Frog prophecy, Cersei if pregnant would have know, she has carried 3 babes to term and Abortisized Roberts.

Even if she had gotten pregnant wich i am sure is not the case, the babe would have been killed as well. Cersei would never have kept it, also AffC we got PoV to all of her delight of Cersei and i am sure she would have mentioned it, if this was the case, i mean cersei aint some foolish 15year old who doesn't know tit for tat. She would know almost immediately. She is obly getting fat from her excesses. (Also note that she is getting older and older, her metabolisms is slowing down.

lolz, brilliant

I was more thinking of:
-anyone claims to be the father of the child?
-Three people stand up and look awkward at each other.


no the speculation is a good one, yet it remains a speculation.

lolz the dutch speaking part

I doubt anyone knows are country is divided in three language zones, tiny as it is, it is already a wonder if they know where it it. (well they might have heard of brussels, and the UK ones from Flanders, Bruges because of history lessons.)

Btw, who hhas giving this thread a rating?

 

[scalem X]

Kiwi, you're not from new zealand?

Non, j'emploie 'the dutch speaking part' parce que mon français est ci mauvais et alors je détèste d' ecouter les choses comme: "mais vous parle français vous même.

 

[Koopa]

Votre Francais n'est pas parfait, mais tu comprends tout que je dis n'est-ce pas? Alors quoi est le probleme? Ist das besser als ich im deutsch spreche ^^ jawohl deutsch ist toll, oder habst du das nicht gern?

Oke, mijn mijn frans en Duits zijn dus echt slecht, mijn engels is echt vele beter dan, komt daar den tv.

Managed to get completely offtopic, wonder how many understood one word of the above

 

[Winters_Sorrow]

Well parfait is a type of dessert, right?

I wonder if a pregnancy of any kind may actually be a 'stay of execution' as it were for Cersei.

Not sure on the medieval code of conduct in these cases, but if I remember rightly, the waited till after the babe was born before lopping the head off the woman. The child (sadly depending on the parentage) would usually be fostered off or raised as a ward of the court I think. If it was the child (male especially) of the king you'd just usurped however, a slight 'accident' might befall them...

wel kiwi tprobleem is nie het spreken, tprobleem is het schrijven eh.

Welcome aboard, Dyffeg, good to see another Brisbanite populated the Martin boards!

I thought there was mention of illness in Cersei's chapters in AFfC. Though I could be worng - it has happened before, believe it or not. I do remember thinking she might be pregnant while I was reading it. Would be interesting, now she's locked up. I can't, however, see her erstwhile lovers putting their hands up and admitting their parts in the affair, somehow...

 

[Aegon the Unworthy]

I think we discussed this before but my google-fu is weak and I couldnt find the thread. Regardless I dont care...lets talk about it some more...if it were up to me Id rehash the Rhaegar/Lyanna love affair thing...

The only alternate explanation we came up with was her increased drinking was leading to an expanding waistline and occasional illness. That being said, Im firmly in the camp of it being a pregnancy and will completely thwart whatever defense she's going to muster.

Hey, herein lies a scenario where Jaime could be Cerseis champion. Lets suppose the Church discovers her pregnancy. They hold off on the trial to avoid killing the two at the same time. The child comes out blonde, the church throws some accusations Jaimes way....or Cersei just straight says its Jaimes (shes been getting crazier and crazier lately this latest could just unhinge her.) One of those "we came into this world at the same time, lets go out together" kinda things. Jaime ends up in the "arena", sword in hand-defending himself and Cersei at the same time. I could see that....how that fits the while valonqar thing I do not know.

Actually parfait (ithink i spelled it correctly) means perfect, then again a word can have more meanings then one so you could be right but i dont really think so. I think you are thinking of creme fraiche.

Cersei pregnant? Don't think so. She never had Robert's babys because she stop it whit herbs ,would she be so stupit to have 4 baby after Robert? Don't think so. maybe she has tumor? that wouldn't be so fun but she would suffer.

 

[Koopa]

C'mon now who rated this thread sooooooo wanna know

 

[Boaz]

What if Cersei gave birth to a dwarf? What if she was sent into exile with this baby? What if she actually came to love this child? Would this allow her to come to understand Tyrion?

 

[TK-421]

WTF???

There's some called poetic justice, then there's just overkill Boaz-style.

And, for the last time, Cersei isn't pregnant. She's just stupid, lazy and fat...kind of like her ex...maybe she'll kill herself (she always wanted the power of a man so is she the valonquar?).

 

[stonStark]

Cersei changing sex and throttling herself???? Very funny TK

 

[Somebloke]

Thanks everyone for your posts on my thoughts... I feel fairly pleased that no one discounted the idea! However, as to what really happens, I guess we'll all have to wait!! (damn!). Regardless of who's child it is, it (if true) will certainly set the cat among the pidgeons.

As to my "guess" - and this is based on nothing concrete - I reckon her pregnancy will be found out, and she'll be ripped apart bit by bloody bit by the townspeople ...sortof an echo to Lollys - who was impregnated during the riot!?

Another Brisbanite! Hello there!

Perhaps we are reading too much into this- not that Martin doesn't sprinkle everything he does with subtle clues, but we can't be 100% sure after all...still, it's an interesting concept.

 

[devilsgrin]

and thats exactly why his books are so engrossing, you never know what tiny bit of info is going to give away a major character arc or book-wide event.

 

[Faceless Woman]

Sorry to spoil a lovely theory, but she can't be pregnant. She can only have three children, and she has already had them.
Actually, she might be, but only if the child dies before it is born. Will the Head Sparrow kill it as an Abomination?
Probably not, though. I think it would count, even if it was never born.

Where is this written? I don't recall this. In fact, over the years she has taken "precautions" so as to not get pregnant by either Robert, Lancel, the Kettleblack brothers, or Moon Boy.
