The Red Wedding just one of the most shocking moments so far
n BRAN STARK PUSHED OUT OF THE WINDOW (SEASON ONE): One of the first moments to shock viewers came in the first episode, with Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Costerwaldau) pushing young Bran Stark out of a window. The ten-year-old had caught Jaime and Cersei Lannister - the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, but also Jaime’s sister - in an incestuous embrace in an abandoned tower during their visit to Winterfell. Bran, played by Isaac Hempstead Wright, survived the fall but went into a coma. n THE RED WEDDING (SEASON THREE): The penultimate episode of the season sees King Robb Stark (Richard Madden) and his mother Catelyn (Michelle Fairley) murdered during a wedding banquet. Lord Walder Frey betrays his allies by slaughtering the unarmed Starks, including pregnant Queen Talisa, after being persuaded to do so by Tywin Lannister. The show had already gained a reputation for its violence, but viewers were stunned by the bloodbath. n THE PURPLE WEDDING (SEASON FOUR): Another wedding scene ended in misfortune for Joffrey Baratheon (Jack Gleeson). After his wedding to Margaery Tyrell (Natalie Dormer), Joffrey is poisoned by wine from a goblet given to him by his uncle, Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage). Using the last of his strength Joffrey points at Tyrion, seemingly believing him to be the culprit, before bleeding, choking and wriggling to death, purple in the face. n SANSA STARK AND RAMSAY BOLTON’S WEDDING (SEASON FIVE): Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken - episode six in the fifth season - prompted outrage from viewers, with some threatening to stop watching because they found it so offensive. In a brutal scene after their wedding, Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner) is raped by Ramsay Bolton (Iwan Rheon), who forces Theon Greyjoy/reek (Alfie Allen) - who grew up with Sansa - to watch. n JON SNOW STABBED TO DEATH (SEASON FIVE): Season five ended with Jon Snow (Kit Harington) being stabbed to death by his own men.
