Something else too that has always bothered me. If Ned killed Arthur Dayne as we're led to believe how did he make it out of Starfall alive when dropping off his sword? He could've easily been killed and they still would get the sword.
That just seems so very odd to me.
I've always thought of the Daynes as the Starks of the south.
They let Ned walk because it was the right thing to do.
I wonder how Ned got Ice? Surely his father or Brandon had it before him and they died in King's Landing as we all know. How did the sword make its way to Winterfell? surely Aerys didn't send it.

But just totally scot free? And they even give a descendant the same nickname. It just seems very, very odd.

This is what it's wiki says:
quote:
The name "Ice" is a legacy from the Age of Heroes, and predates the current sword. About four hundred years before Robert Baratheon's reign, the Valyrian steel greatsword was spell-forged in Valyria and acquired by the Starks, who named it after that legacy.[2] It became the sword of the Lord of Winterfell. Eddard Stark used the sword in battle and to personally execute condemned prisoners. After his capture, Ilyn Payne was given the sword and used it to execute Eddard himself.[3] Ilyn carried the blade for a short time until Tywin Lannister took it from him and had Ice re-forged into two longswords, Widow's Wail, and the longsword later called Oathkeeper.
ETA: And I misread your question apparently.
I've wondered that as well. Would Rhaegar have made sure they got it or was he already gone at that point?
