Game Of Thrones Season 6: 11 Big Questions We're Asking After 'Oathbreaker'

9. Will Tommen Join The High Sparrow?

Game of Thrones Jon Snow question

Tommen goes to have a stern word with the High Sparrow this week, or at least about as stern a word as the Boy King is capable of.

However, what starts out with Tommen demanding his mother be allowed to see Myrcella quickly turns to the Sparrow's advantage, as he makes the King listen to his reasoning, and starts getting through to him about the power of the Faith.

Tommen is obviously good-natured, but naive to go with it, which isn't a great trait for a king to possess. He could be easily swayed, something that the High Sparrow obviously senses, and might we be seeing the beginning of Tommen pledging his allegiances to the Faith, rather than his family?
