That doesn't mean the laws weren't there to begin with. Once with an army surrounding him, the faith could enforce the laws. Bringing the Poor Fellows back as well as The Warrior's Sons, that was part of a bargain that Cersei made with the new High Septon. The second reason, which I believe had the biggest impact,is the reconstitution of the Poor Fellows an ancient holy order that was previously banned by Maegor The Cruel as he was the king that passed the law against holy people holding weapons. To be fair she had also threatened him in that same conversation.įirst, the old high septon was practically working for the throne, that is not the traditional way the things worked in King's Landing and the change of High Septons brought everything back in question. He kind of threatened Margaery's grandma. "It is time that the many not be afraid of the few." The current one does.Īnd there is a quote from the last episode when he is talking to the Queen of Thorns: Also the previous Septon didn't have an army at his beck and call. The previous High Septon had his own "unnatural appetites" so he couldn't accuse others when it was known that he was just as bad. Now to explain why it is only now that the "Faith Laws" are enforced. That is why she is a prisoner of the Faith at the moment.
Margaery lied for his Brother so she is guilty too. Loras is accused of having sex with another male, he denied it, and a witness was found confirming to the High Septon that Loras lied.
In the show it is a sin to have sex outside of wedlock, to have sex with the same gender, to lie, etc. Ironic that it was her actions that eventually put her in that situation. In the books everything happens differently regarding Loras, his sister and Cersei, but the outcome, for Cersei at least, is the same. So now he can punish whomever he wants for whatever he wants as he has soldiers protecting him. The "High Sparrow" has a standing army that the idiot Cersei gave him. So, any explanation for that? AFAIK, in the books the charges were much more serious, and would be considered a crime even before the faith militant came in the game. The only person they did arrest correctly, IMHO, isĬersei, who actually cheated on her husband.īut they don't even know that for sure! BecauseĬersei had an affair with this Pycelle character after her husband's death, which is technically not a cheat, and they have no witness confirming the twincest. Loras, who performed his sins before Faith Militant was actually in active state? And why did they arrest Margery, who was just a witness of a sex scene and did not even take part in it? So, why the prosecution at all for this? I don't think that even the High Sparrow is such a big fanatic to punish someone retroactively. The Littlefinger's establishment (whore house) was actually a legal thing in the previous seasons. Was definitely not considered a serious crime, that demanded an arrest. The common logic is that you cannot punish for a crime retroactively, that is, for something that a person committed before there actually was a law forbidding that. All crimes mentioned in the show have been performed before the restoration of Faith Militant. However, there is something really strange in these actions. Right now the Faith Militant haveĪrrested Loras, Margery, and Cersei for different crimes. I've just ended watching the episode 7 of season 5 of Game of Thrones.
