She beat Loras in that tournament. Who else does she fight?cutuphalfdead wrote:Never lost a fight in as a pit fighter in Mereen. Destroyed Oznak zo Pahl outside the gates of Mereen in single combat. Survived poison locust attack. Trusted member of the Queensguard.
Meanwhile, Brienne just looks good because she can hold her own against a knight who lost his sword hand.

Also, she beat Loras in a melee not a tournament. Not to take away from her accomplishment, just want to be accurate.

Yes. Let's not undersell her accomplishments. She also had a reputation for kicking older boys asses growing up.

Rorge kind of fucked her up, but in far less than ideal circumstances.

15-20 stone (or 210-280 lbs) makes him not all that much bigger than Brienne, and I think she's probably taller given his girth.

Quote from Martin:
"Brienne is well over six feet tall, but not close to seven, no. Just off the top of my head, I would say Brienne is taller than Renly and Jaime and significantly heavier than either, but nowhere near the size of Gregor Clegane, who is the true giant in the series. Shorter than Hodor and the Greatjon, maybe a bit shorter than the Hound, maybe roughly the same height as Robert."

And a note about Robert's height for reference, from his wiki:
"(Ned Stark estimates his height at six feet and six inches)"

GRRM clearly has a complex about his height.

Re: GAME OF THRONES TOURNAMENT CLICK HERE TO START HAVING FU
My best estimated guess, given the facts about her height and build, puts Brienne weighing in the 225-250 range without armor.

Re: GAME OF THRONES TOURNAMENT CLICK HERE TO START HAVING FU
So size is not an advantage for Belwas. Speed is, but Brienne sports armor and a shield, and we saw what Barristan the bold did to Khrazz in a similar matchup.
