Revolta de Porto Real
A Revolta de Porto Real foi um grande levante popular na capital dos Sete Reinos durante a Guerra dos Cinco Reis. Deixou diversas pessoas importantes mortas e queimou partes da cidade.[1]
Prelúdio
The cause of the riot was due to a lack of food and sense of dissatisfaction of the general populace during Tyrion Lannister's preparation for the eventual assault on King's Landing by Stannis Baratheon, a claimant to the throne. With the Campina cut off due to the war and the Terras dos Rios awash in blood, King's Landing was being supplied mainly by Casa Rosby and Casa Stokeworth, whose lands had been largely untouched by the war.[2] This led to shortages in most basic foods. Already incensed with Rei Joffrey's brand of justice, the city was in a bad way when the lords and ladies rode out to the harbor to see Princesa Myrcella Baratheon off.[1]
A Revolta
On the way back to the castle, as the King's party rode up the Hook at the foot of Alta Colina de Aegon, a woman walked out of the crowd with a dead baby and blocked the way. Sansa Stark encouraged the King to win the people by throwing the woman some gold, but the woman ignored the coins as they fell around her and continued to hold the baby before her. While she did, someone threw dung at the King, hitting him squarely in the face. Incensed, Joffrey demanded to know the culprit and sent Sandor Clegane in the general direction of where the crowd said he was. This angered the crowd and shouted curses were showered down on the party, further inflaming the situation. The crowd began to move in and soon the party was surrounded and had to fight their way out.[1]
Not all of the party escaped the mob. Among those killed were Ser Aron Santagar, Ser Preston Greenfield and the High Septon. Lollys Stokeworth was raped and Tyrek Lannister was never found. Dozens of the smallfolk were killed by the Gold Cloaks and the knights of the Kingsguard who defended the King.[1]
Even after the King was safely within the walls of the Red Keep, the riot continued. Baixada das Pulgas was set afire.[1] A goldsmith was killed for having a full larder while the city starved. His manse was burned down.[3]
Consequências
Nove Mantos Dourados foram mortos, e mais de 40 ficaram feridos. Os plebeus, entretanto, pagaram pelo ataque. À noite, os incêndios haviam se extinguido e a maioria das tumultos dispersados. Não houve melhora no bem-estar da população em geral, e um toque de recolher foi instituído, fazendo com que qualquer um encontrado nas ruas após o anoitecer fosse executado. Tyrek Lannister continuou desaparecido. Lollys Stokeworth teve um filho, que acabou por ser chamado de Tyrion Tanner. A Mão do Rei, Lorde Tyrion, indicou um novo Alto Septão, e Sor Balon Swann preencheu a vaga do falecido Sor Preston na Guarda Real.[1]
