quote:

Even Littlefinger's nickname is drenched in irony. Your little finger is supposed to be the most harmless part of your body, but Littlefinger has proven to be the opposite of that and be the single most dangerous man in the realm. He is the giant that is constantly referenced, and the Mountain is merely the red herring. It's subtle, but it makes sense.


And it also reflects everyone's attitude about him. Everyone in King's Landing (save for Varys, Ned when it was too late, Tyrion) thought he was harmless and that he was so low birth that he couldn't do anyone harm.

George RR Martin posted a new excerpt about Aegon
The Conquerer on his website. It gives some good historical background on the time of his Landing. One piece that I learned which I probably should have known already but missed while reading the main series: The Iron Born were the original lords of Harrenhal. I had no idea, and just assumed the families who ruled there originally were killed by Aegon and Co. Makes me more interested in the Greyjoys and rest of the Iron Born to know that they were once some of the original kings of the continent of Westeros, and not just the Iron Islands.
