** Grand Maester Orwyle might have well have been a good man trying to do what he can during the craziness that was the Dance of the Dragons, but he is condemned by history as a self-serving wannabe hero who downplays his role in that civil war.

* ObliviouslyEvil: When there's an extreme disconnect between the nobility and the commoners, a lot of lords and knights end up failing to recognize just how badly their squabbles can affect the realm. In particular, after the War of the Five Kings is declared over, [[spoiler:many of the high lords wonder why people are backing the outlaws of the Brotherhood Without Banners, and how even petty nobility (and some higher lords) support them. Most nobles fail to realize that the devastation the conflict has wrought (and that the winners broke multiple laws and customs that were held sacrosanct) has permanently poisoned them to their rulers, and that the reckoning to come will be bloody]].
