John Arren was the Lord of the Eagle's Nest and the HandKing Robert. There is little information about his youth and mature years. It is known that the lord was a very authoritative person. His pupils Eddard Stark and Robert Baratheon treated him with the deepest respect, spoke warmly about the mentor and honored him as their own father.
How did it all start?
The story says that once King Eiris suspected the pupils of John in the death of his nephew, so he insisted that Arren surrender his wards to him. But John did not do that.
Moreover, he raised a rebellion against the ruler,although not all standard-bearers supported his decision. To begin with, John Arryn had to storm the port of the Valley to incline the people to his side. Then he went to the Riverlands, where he was married to Lord Hoster's daughter, Lisa Talley.
Subsequently, his ward Robert Baratheoncame to power and offered the teacher to become a right, that is, the second person in the state after the king, his right hand. It should be noted that John Arren was more a political leader than a military leader. He used psychological manipulation techniques to achieve his goal.
Events in the movie "Game of Thrones"
The picture takes place on a fictionalcontinent Vestoros. King Robert Baratheon, who dominates the Seven Kingdoms, raises his troops against the famous Targaryen clan. Events take place after the strange death of John Arren.
Король Роберт призывает Эддарда Старка understand the causes of the tragedy. We remind you that he, too, was a pupil of the deceased. Eddard - a decent man with iron principles, calling himself the Lord of the North. Arriving in the capital, Stark is ready to unravel the mysterious tangle.
It turned out that John Arren reigned along withRobert almost 15 years, until his death. The results of the reign of King Robert are hardly successful, since he often indulged in drunkenness and debauchery. The state treasury collected debts. Arren kept a lot under his control. He tried to fight bribes and extortions reigning in Vestoros, while the king closed his eyes to this.
Personal life
Lord's eagle's nest could not be happy withoutchildren's voices. However, Lisa, the wife of John, did not immediately fulfill her feminine purpose. Only after several miscarriages, Lisa presented her husband with a spouse. However, the boy was born painful, which complicated the relationship of the spouses.
John Arren's huge mistake was that hehelped to make a dizzying career protégé Lisa - Petyru Baylish. Later it became known that he not only had an intimate relationship with his wife Arren, but also made intrigues in the county of Eagle's Nest.
Who killed John Arren?
So, the lover first falls under suspicion.Lisa The events in Vestoros itself were already not easy. All clans and tribes were embroiled in political feuds and power struggles, all of which led to civil war.
The giant ice wall that protectedKingdom, was one of the old and reliable structures, which could protect people from the attack of wild tribes. Taking advantage of the confusion, Petir Beylish persuades Lisa to poison her husband. According to eyewitnesses, this happened after the knightly tournament, vividly described in the movie "Game of Thrones."
John Arren was going to read a book aftera meal, when suddenly he felt a great indisposition. At first, Piezel, the doctor, decided that John had an upset stomach, as he had eaten too much at dinner and washed down with ice wine.
But the symptoms showed that it was poisoning.John first suffered in a fever, and then called his wife and son to bless him. Finally, the doctor gave the patient milk from poppy seeds, hoping that Arren’s death would not be so painful.
Presentiment of death
Clan Starkov learned about the death of John's right hand fromletters from his wife Liza Arren, who hinted that Queen Cersei was involved in this, because Arren knew about her relationship with her brother and could detect this incest before Robert. In addition, John studied the origins of the children of the king and later came to the conclusion that Tommen, Joffrey and Myrcella were born from the queen's lover.
It is fair to believe that the Empress Cerseithere were good reasons for killing john arren. When Eddard Stark came close to investigating the death of his mentor, he received a clear answer from the doctor - the death occurred from a poison called "Tears of the Fox." At the same time, he transparently hinted that lately John Arren knew too much and asked unnecessary questions about the royal family.
The film clearly describes the dual situation.The main suspect was his wife Lisa, who could get rid of John because of her lover. Could Peter Beylish act in the interests of the queen when he persuaded Lisa to poison her husband, or was guided by personal ambitions?
Arren himself guessed about the existing threat.His approximate Varys repeatedly offered his right hand to hire a taster, but John proudly refused, considering it unworthy of a man. Most likely, Arren did not expect danger from the woman.
Conclusion
The role of a brave right hand was played by an English actor fromfamous dynasty of artists - Sir John Standing, known for the films: "Heritage", "The man who knew too little." Director Martin said that Standing was a real veteran of theater and cinema, a descendant of the acting dynasty, and it was an incredible honor for him to get the consent of the latter to the role of John Arren.

In fact, this is a picture of ordinary human vices, presented to the viewer in an original style. The genre of the film - fantasy. There are no stamps and incredible special effects.
