Fans of the series know better than to get too attached to the characters, for they will most likely die a horrible, unexpected death. Martin has proven a happy ending isn’t always needed to reel in the fans: he seems to prefer siding with the antagonists in his story. This doesn’t necessarily mean the protagonists won’t get their chance to prevail.

But what about those times we found ourselves cheering and raising our arms in joy after watching some of our most hated characters in the show meet their demise?

During a brief conversation between the two, Petyr slyly calms Lysa down, only to throw her through the Moon Door where she plummets to her death unexpectedly.

Tyrion then loads the crossbow with another bolt and fires it, killing his father, the Hand of the King.

With knowledge of his preference of young girls, Aria impersonates one of the young prostitutes Meryn is to choose from. However. this time his choice ends in a bloody bath of his own blood, as Aria stabs out his eyes before she cuts his throat, marking off another name on her infamous list.

2. A Crown For A King

No one can forget Dany’s vile older brother Viserys Targaryen from Game of Thrones season one. This power hungry Targaryen sells his younger sister to the powerful warlord Khal Drogo, in hopes to use his army to win back the Iron Throne of Westeros.

After the heart-eating ceremony in which Dany takes part in to secure her marriage to Khal Drogo, Viserys demands the crown he has been promised, even if it means killing his sister. Drogo agrees, saying “Yes, you shall have a golden crown, that men shall tremble to behold.” In response, Drogo has two of his men hold Viserys down while he pours a cauldron of molten gold upon his head, killing him in an agonizing death. This scene surely had all fans rising to their feet in joy, as they watched the so called “Dragon” collapse to his death.

1. The Purple Wedding

The long-awaited death of this character resulted in a joyous celebration among all Game of Thrones fans everywhere. During the boy king’s wedding, Joffrey’s cup of wine was poisoned right under his nose. This act of treason was much deserved, considering the countless malicious acts he had followed through with during his time as king.

Watching the black-hearted son of Cersie Lannister choke on his last breaths of air, purple-faced and bleeding from his eyes, was the most satisfying death in the series by a landslide. It would be hard for Martin to top this death, for Joffrey was one of the most hated characters in the history of all fantasy writings.
