Game Of Thrones: 10 Most Memorable Dying Words

10. Mance Rayder

The Quote: "I wish you good fortune in the wars to come." Mance Rayder, the so-called King Beyond the Wall, was a behind the scenes character for most of the show. His most significant act was uniting all the Wildling tribes together into one massive army. However, that army didn't last long as they were swiftly defeated by Stannis Baratheon. Stannis offered Mance Rayder leniency in exchange for loyalty, but the former Night's Watch ranger politely declined, wished his foe good luck, and accepted his fate. He was then burned at the stake until getting a merciful arrow to the heart from Jon Snow. Mance was initial thought to be a villain but soon proved to be one of the more principled characters on the show. His last words highlight those principles as he only wanted his people to be safe and wouldn't force them to follow another man of war, even if it saved is life. He knows there is violence in Stannis' future and his sign-off suggests he's happy not to be around to witness it.
