10 Most Underrated Deaths In Game Of Thrones

10. Tyene Sand

The Dorne storyline in the fifth season was undoubtedly one of the weaker moments in Game of Thrones, and as such, many of the characters involved were not particularly popular amongst fans of the show.

Tyene Sand was no exception. Even with her entertaining combat skills, she was not an overly memorable character. Nevertheless, her death certainly was memorable, and much of this was due to Lena Headey’s performance as Cersei.

Following Euron Greyjoy’s attack, both Tyene and Ellaria (her mother) were taken to King’s Landing. Rather than kill them both quickly, Cersei chose to murder Tyene in the same way that Ellaria had murdered Myrcella – by using a poison named Long Farewell. Before poisoning Tyene, Cersei mocked her captives in a sadistic manner. Indeed, she delighted in telling Ellaria that her daughter would die and decay in front of her.

Despite the fact that Tyene was a relatively peripheral character, therefore, her death was brutally entertaining thanks to a wicked performance from Headey.
