Now the Lannisters control the throne by luck. So much for the Game of Thrones... You think he died by accident? Varys himself said that Ned's mercy in telling Cersei led directly to Robert's poisoning and death. | ||

Robert wasn't poisoned... he was killed by a boar. He was drunk, however. Remember his squire, a Lancel, giving him wine at every opportunity? I think there was an element of luck, because its entirely possible the king could have held his drink better and killed the boar. | ||

It just happened to be a boar. When Ned showed mercy it set in motion the plots and schemes to have Robert killed one way or the other. | ||

A Lancel Lannister, I bet he wanted to kill the king, Robert just treated him like shit, but being the king's squire must not be too bad of a position right? I don't think it was implied that it was poisoned. Quote please? | ||

Robert did kill the boar, but also got killed himself :D | ||

Indeed. Robert was known as a drunkard. The squire just made sure (as Varys implied) that there was always wine for Robert to drink. | ||

I believe the tv show will explain this to us in more detail in future. They did in the books. | ||

It's not touched upon so much in the show but remember how Robert planned to participate in the Hand's tournament melee? The Lannisters saw that as an opportunity to kill him as well with being able to make it look like a complete accident, which is why Ned tried so hard to convince him not to compete. | ||

Traced it with CSI or what? Nobody checked him for anything they DID mention his drink was tainted 0o | ||
