Andro Farman confessed to the Dragonstone poisonings trying to kill his wife Rhaena Targaryen. But he was dull, powerless, illiterate, and broke. Unsuited to the murder he commited. So how did he get the Tears of Lys — and who gave him the plan? And who else had a motive to kill on Dragonstone?

I loved the video! I always thought it odd how Andrews story ended, not that he grew so bitter, but how capable he suddenly turned. Only thing I am not sure about is that almost all these ideas are made for political reasons. Sometimes it is personal. But Jahayres personality seamed to have hardened with age, you see that in the way he treated his younger children and how he increasingly got into arguments with his wife and seemingly distanced himself from her. Thanks for making me reconsider my views

Those dragon eggs she stole are probably the ones that ended up being gifts to Daenerys! I'd bet on it

@jwt6577 1 year ago

I don't think there's a single murdered Targaryan where I don't find myself thinking, "Good Lords, you brought that all on yourself."

Damn, her reading of that Lysa passage was extremely well done.

@theletterm5425 6 years ago

When you first brought up Jaeherys as a possible culprit I thought there was no way that wise old King Jaeherys would do something so despicable, but by the end I'm almost convinced that it was in fact done on his orders. If nothing else he is at least a very strong candidate. Well done!

Androw truly was a perfect fall guy it was the perfect close book case a jaded psuedo lover who was being mocked and shamed by the whole village along with his sister being a treacherous thief that left her own brother to face the consequences of her actions.

@childofpersia1213 6 years ago

Androw reminds me of LittleFinger in his lack of “typically male” interests and skills. He “plays up”how non-threatening he is to deceive those he wants to take vengeance on

@kiyoslament 5 years ago

I feel almost bad for Lysa with how good this reading is, it is like perfect

@bryantaylor9874 6 years ago

U miss the obvious suspect, Elissa Farnam herself. Whatever love between her and Rheana was long gone, from Elissa's pov at least, and she knew Rheana would hunt her to the ends of the earth. Elissa never hesitated to use and abuse her brother, and if she did harbor a secret guilt then what better way to alleviate it than to facilitate his revenge. If you're Elissa what better way to ensure your getaway than to murder the one person guaranteed to chase you.

This could also explain why Jahaerys chose Viserys instead of the "Queen who never was"

@brandonb6005 3 years ago

I think you missed one particular candidate… Elissa Farman.

She was resentful of being stuck on Dragonstone after having asked Rhaena to leave and being repeatedly denied.

She and Androw were extremely close.

She was an experienced sailor and had in fact gone to Braavos after fleeing Dragonstone. Someone that worldly and always wanting to explore elsewhere would have been researching other parts of the world such as the Free Cities if their long term plan was to build a fleet there then travel the world.

Selling the dragon eggs to the Sea Lord of Braavos would have given her funds to pay for the Tears of Lys in addition to funding her voyage.

The limits here would have been opportunity, as no one officially knew where she was or what she was doing, but she could have found a way to pass instructions and the Tears through a cut-out to Androw.

If it went through multiple cut-outs, one could be Princess Aerea, who had wanted to go with Elissa on her journey but was forbidden by her mother. It would also potentially explain why she subsequently claimed Balereon and disappeared, as yet another opportunity to leave Dragonstone had fallen through.

Yes, Elissa and Rhaena were likely lovers and very close, but Elissa had long term plans that Rhaena was forbidding her from going through with simply because she thought she couldn’t bear to be without her.

The main point against this is that Elissa was in hiding while constructing Sun Chaser and that sending someone to kill Rhaena would have left loose ends that could have been tied back to her. And they were already pissed at her over the eggs… being complicit in murders that threatened members of the royal family would have gotten Jaeharys to step up Rago Draz’ efforts to find her.

@Regenmacher175 4 years ago (edited)

I'd say Androw's brother, Franklyn Farman, is more likely than first appearances would indicate. He was Lord of Fair Isle, thus likely had more connections than his brother and more means to purchase the poison, and would have had the time and opportunity to communicate with Androw to a) convince him to commit tehse crimes and b) send him the poison. He also had a bone to pick with Rhaena specifically. To be able to convince someone like Androw to commit these crimes it would have had to have been people he trusted enough to convince him and help him, which his brother could have been.

Martin knows that history doesn't actually repeat itself. However it frequently rhymes!

@HolasoyMai 5 years ago (edited)

This video got me thinking that Elissa Farman stealing eggs that might have already been petrified was part of Jaehaerys' plan to humiliate Rhaena, and also those eggs wouldn't have been a threat to his reign.

@MrSilvUr 5 years ago

I think the idea is that Androw was underestimated, even by history. So the fact that these murders indicate a capability at odds with the picture history paints of him reflects more of the failure of history than a conspiracy.

It is real curious where he got the poison, though. Maybe he made it himself; being illiterate doesn't necessarily mean he wouldn't have the knowledge...
