Chapter Four - Brienne 1 - A Feast for Crows | A Song of Ice and Fire (ASOIAF)

Send us a text

Brienne begins her wild goose chase in the hunt for Sansa Stark. She meets some unusual travelers on the road and makes some unexpected travel companions, on her way to Duskendale. She also learns that she’s not the only one looking for the Stark girl. Simon and Mackelly worry about saddle sores.

Chapter Review:
Armed with Oathkeeper, Brienne of Tarth rides through the Crownlands asking all and sundry if they have seen a high-born maid of three and 10 riding with a portly knight or a fool. She doesn’t mention Sansa’s name, and gets no help from anyone.

She camps down with a couple of hedge knights for the night. Ser Creighton tells of his amazing, hardly believable, exploits at the Battle of the Blackwater. Ser Illifer is a quieter soul. But it is the latter who figures out who she is. He accuses her of Renly’s murder, but she denies it. 

They meet a group of “sparrows” the next day. These adherents of the Faith of the Seven are heading to King’s Landing with the bones of murdered holy people. They hope to find protection from King Tommen when they get there. Another knight, Ser Shadrich, tells Brienne that she is not the only hunter. Varys has offered a reward for Sansa’s whereabouts. Brienne feigns ignorance. That night she slips away from the others - preferring the lonely road.
