13 Craziest Game Of Thrones Moments
3. Burning A Child To Death
Shireen Baratheon was a rare glimmer of innocence in a world full of total death and destruction. She overcame great difficulties and near-imprisonment by her own father to become a courageous child who even began to teach Davos, a one-time Hand Of The King-to-be, how to read.
She was a princess, and could've grown into an incredible woman had she been given the chance, but no, of course she was burned at the stake by her own father in a desperate bid to win the war. The fact that Stannis ended up losing the battle and his life also shows that Shireen seemingly died in vein. It's a crazy scene that is incredibly tough to explain to others. They burned. a child. alive.
