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

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.
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?

I mean Rhaegar was still alive but I can't see even him giving the enemy back his Valyrian greatsword right before they went to war.

If the tables were turned would Ned have killed Rhaegar if he brought back Brandon's Ice? I don't think he would've. It was war and they lost and they were honorable people who took it as an honor that Arthur got the privilege to die a warriors death at the hands of a man as great as Eddard Stark.
Or there is a lot more to the story that we haven't heard.

I did find it interesting the Edric is the Lord of Starfell. Something bad must have happened to the former lord.
Maybe when Ned Stark returned Dawn, he did so by sticking Lord Boba Dayne with the pointy end?
