The maid of Tarth ༺𓆩༒︎𓆪༻
"Ser Jaime?" Even in soiled pink satin and torn lace, Brienne looked more like a man in a gown than a proper woman. "I am grateful, but...you were well away. Why come back?"
A dozen quips came to mind, each crueler than the one before, but Jaime only shrugged. "I dreamed of you," he said.

The "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" Season 1 finale subtly alludes to "Game of Thrones" hero Brienne of Tarth. Here is why that matters.
You may have heard Lyonel Baratheon mention Tarth in passing during the S1 finale of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. It probably was not gratuitous.
“It’s been a wonderful tournament. Shame it’s all over. Home is, uh, it’s brutally dull,” Lyonel Baratheon (Daniel Ings) says at the start of “The Morrow,” whilst lying against a tree with Dunk. Turning toward his new friend, Lyonel says, “Hey, you could come with me! Yeah, we’ll hunt and hawk and sail, make merry. I’ll sharpen that iron of yours so you don’t make such a grand fool of yourself next time … Have you ever been to Tarth?” [ ... ] The “Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” reference goes even deeper than that, though. That is because “A Song of Ice and Fire” author George R.R. Martin confirmed during a 2016 appearance at Balticon, a convention in Baltimore, that Brienne is a descendant of Dunk’s. Lyonel’s Tarth line in “The Morrow” is, consequently, a playful reference to Dunk and Brienne’s connection, as well as a sly bit of foreshadowing that helps set up just what a lasting legacy Dunk will ultimately leave in Westeros by the time everything is said and done.
Of course Brienne famously went on a road trip with her own squire Podrick Payne. Perhaps a family tradition.
