Correct and that finishes that section

Jon Arryn: Lysa Arryn, aided by Littlefinger.
Aided? I knw Littlefinger encouraged her but did he aid her?
Robb Stark: Roose Bolton, though who shot the actual quarrels?
I was wondering that myself, I dont think we actually find out
Joffery Lannister: <s> The Tyrells, or possibly even Cercei Lannister (not sure exactly who) </s> -- No, wrong, Tyrion admitted it to Jaime, he did it.
Hmm I thought Tyrion was lying, I was sure Littlefinger was responsable for the poisening although the hand that dropped the poison is said to be another who has not been mentioned yet.
[Edit: Didn't Petyr Baelish try to take credit for some of the happenings at Joff's wedding? I know he claimed credit for the dwarf knights. Also, when Sansa asked why he'd want to kill Joff, he said: "I had no motive. Always keep your foes confused. Sometimes the best way to baffle them is to make moves that have no purpose…Remember that when you come to play the game of thrones." ] So, it looks like 2 people may be taking credit.

Technically who is the rightful king of the realm?
Dany, a trueborn Targaryen. Jon if he had been recognized. The Baraethon rule is contested until all Targaryen's are dead if I understand their culture right.
Here is where the debate will probably begin, would Dany be allowed to rule as she is a woman? Jon is not the rightful king as he has not been recognised.

If we look to the Baraethon line instead, either Stannis or Robert's heir, I admit I don't know which would take precedent. Regarding Robert's heir, Gendry is not a recognized heir, so Robert's bastard that Stannis took from Storm's End, Edric Storm, would be it.
I have to admit I never thought of Edric, that could be it.

#9: I'll go out on a limb and say they were all Kingsguard.
Incorrect

We do not sow: Greyjoy
Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken: Beats me, but I swear I know it.
Greyjoy is correct, the other is a difficult one

#7 -- The Flaming Green Chain Heraldry: Ser Bronn of Blackwater
Bronn is a scoundrel and sellsword whose saving grace is his great skill with the sword. At first being party to the capture of Tyrion Lannister by Lady Catelyn Stark, at the Eyrie Bronn took Tyrion's part in a trial by combat. Killing Ser Vardis Egen, Lady Lysa's champion and the captain of the Arryn guard, Bronn and Tyrion were sent alone through the mountain road. They survived that however, and won allies from the mountain clans.

Following Tyrion Lannister to King's Landing, Bronn helped collect an army of sellswords for the Hand. After the battle of the Blackwater, he and six hundred others were knighted for the aid they provided in the battle. When Tyrion Lannister was tried for the murder of King Joffrey, Ser Bronn was bribed away from standing as his champion by Cersei Lannister who gave him Lollys Stokeworth as a bride. He clearly has intentions of making sure that she inherits Stokeworth, despite her mother and her elder sister.
Correct, and a very good summary of one of the characters I enjoy reading.
