Brienne of Tarth VS Jaime Lannister
Every Major Game of Thrones Battle, Ranked
Brienne has shown herself to be a capable fighter by the time she’s escorting Jaime as a prisoner back to King’s Landing, but how does she compare against a great fighter like the Kingslayer? When he grabs a sword and manages to free himself, we get the chance to find out.
Following his fight with Ned Stark, we already know what an excellent fighter Jaime is at this point, but he has been a prisoner for over a year. He’s malnourished and his hands are still in chains, meaning he’s not as mobile as he usually would be. There’s also a problem; Brienne swore to Catelyn she’d get Jaime to King’s Landing alive. As Jaime says: “If you kill me, you fail Lady Stark. But if you don’t kill me, I’m going to kill you.” Not only is it enjoyable to see how capable Brienne is at defending herself, it’s also interesting to see Jaime testing her and how her fighting abilities earn his begrudging respect.
