Game Of Thrones: Ranking EVERY Major Death Worst To Best

44. Doran Martell/Trystane Martell

Death: Killed by the Sand Snakes during their coup d'etat.

These two deaths were basically the show-runners' way of saying "We messed up on Dorne, let's just wipe the slate clean and leave that plot-line." Doran (Alexander Siddig) and Trystane (Toby Sebastian) were two characters no-one cared about, so this didn't do much harm but this abrupt takeover of Dorne still felt like messy storytelling and it was fairly predictable too.

Additionally, it seems pretty contrived that no-one would oppose Ellaria (Indira Varma) taking over Dorne, however terrible Doran had been at ruling. Still, at least this meant we wouldn't have to put up with Doran Martell's indecisiveness anymore and this also meant that most of season six was spent away from Dorne. What a relief.
