My only issues with this is that it seems Selmy was suggesting that it was Brandon Stark (as others have said) was the one that "dishonored her".

And while I love me some Selmy, like a lot of POVs/opinions, it certainly makes you wonder just how "dishonored" she was. Maybe she was simply "dishonored" in Selmy's eyes because he was in love with her. Just a thought.

The whole Ashara Dayne mystery confuses me. Some say that Ned had a crush on her/had the secks with her, others say it was Brandon Stark instead, now people are saying Aerys?

I do wonder if Selmy is a reliable narrator. I know George has said that Sansa isn't a reliable narrator, so I wonder if Selmy is the same case.

I just can't buy into Ned not being loyal. It goes against the fabric of everything I believe about the guy and that his loyalty/honesty flat out got him killed. Now do I think Ned had a crush on her before his brother died and he was betrothed to Catelyn? Sure.

I can totally buy this just given on what was hinted and from everything we've heard about Brandon's demeanor/personality.

Apparently Aerys is a rapin' mofo given how he's been linked in theories to raping multiple women in ASOIAF. I don't particularly buy into any of that business though. JMO.

I think he is for the most part. But when it comes to someone he loved I can see where his opinion of whomever she shacked up with could be incredibly tainted.
