Jaime and Ned never fought in the books. That scene was just added for the TV show. If they did fight, Jaime would have slaughtered Ned. Barristan even says Jaime is the the best natural swordsman in all of the Seven Kingdoms. The Kingslayer would defeat anyone at full strength in a sword fight. Why else do you think nobody takes him up on his offers to settle wars/disputes in single combat? They know they can't win.
@LD319 Huh? I do recall that scene happening in the first book, only the setting is different. It's night and rainy and a horse injures Ned's leg and not a spear.
FrozenHonors clearly doesn't know much about ASoIaF. Jaime is part of the Kingsguard, never heard of the Crownguard. Ned was 'jusy another soldier'?!?! You should go and read the books.
Stupid question that I'm sure has been asked a million times and truly doesn't have a definitive answer...who REALLY would have won that fight if Ned didn't get spear stabbed? I'd actually say Ned, but that's favoritism.
@BrooklynJackBlue jaime. he is part of the crownguard in the book, and the crownguards are legendary. ned is just...another soldier that robert befriended. i loved ned though :)
@FrozenHonors Kingsguard used to be legendary, now they are full of average to below average knights and some good fighters, none who is currently a white cloak would I consider legendary. Ned is also not just a soldier, he was a great leader and strategist, his being with Robert during the rebellion made a HUGE difference.
@FrozenHonors I never said that Ned was a great fighter, I think he was average at fighting BUT he was a great leader and strategist, and that is where he made a huge difference in Robert's rebellion.
@BrooklynJackBlue Mine is also favoritism, but definitely Jaime. It's not entirely favoritism though. While the Kingsguard has gone down hill, Jaime is left over from when you had to be amazing to qualify. He's considered by many to be the greatest sword fighter in Westeros and he'd have regular practice in the Kingsguard. Mr. Martin has said that Ned was only a competent sword fighter--not exceptional. And I doubt he practices much at Winterfell.
Tyrion x Arya - make it happen.
