re: Crackpot ASOIAF Theories SPOILERS

Searched but didn't see this topic (and can't read 1,000 pages).

Doing my first re-read - 10 or so years after my initial read.

Is it possible the Westerlings use a love potion on Robb at Tywin Lannisters behest/planning?


In my initial read, I thought it possible they used something on Robb. Now in my re-read I'm thinking it was a Tywin plan -

Background -

- Jeyne Westerlings grandmother was a maegi (almost certainly the one, though I don't recall confirmation, who plays a big part in Cersei's journey)
- Jeyne's mother has made a potion for Jeyne to drink daily to help get her pregnant from Robb, indicating she has some of the skills (at the very least)
- Robb Stark was injured storming the Crag (Westerling Castle) and was attended to by Jeyne. Easy enough for her (or her mom) to give him a love potion under the guise that it was a healing one.

Clinchers -

- Tyrion's thoughts go out of their way to discuss how Tywin treats bannerman who betray him.
- Tywin did not seem mad about the Westerling betrayal, which surprised Tyrion
- Very specific mention of Tywin almost smiling - this really calls attention to things.
- Finally, when the Westerlings are called fools, and this is when Tywin almost smiles, he says "The greatest fools are ofttimes more clever than the men who laugh at them." That has a clear implication that there is more going on.

Maybe this was obvious and I'm just an idiot who missed it first time through.
