Talk:Reyne Rebellion

Dating
Wait, how are we going to date this? Cersei in the TV series said she was a small child when the rebellion occurred, but the books make clear that Tywin was made Hand of the King as a result of the rebellion, because Aerys Targaryen was impressed by his ruthlessness; Tywin then served as Hand of the King for twenty years, then resigned a few years before Robert's Rebellion. Give or take, this means that the rebellion had to have occurred about forty years before the War of the Five Kings. 17 years between RR and WOTFK plus 3-4 years after Tywin resigned but before RR is twenty, plus another twenty, gets us to forty. Maybe Cersei is supposed to be older in the TV series, but in the books she was born in 266 AL.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 22:56, June 2, 2013 (UTC)
