That's the Principality of Titsuck, right?  So he was like a spy?

No, he is a Whitecloak. Why a Whitecloak would try to murder the Kings Hand in the middle of a battle is a very good question though. I wonder who might have put him up to such a thing?

Yes, Principality of titsuck. He came to Kings Landing with Jon Arryn (the guy who was already dead in episode 1 of season 1 and was ward to Ned Stark and Robert Baratheon and started the rebellion that put Robert on the throne and he was Roberts hand untill he was apparently poisoned by lannisters; or so Lysa Arryn tells Catelyn Stark in her letter; and Ned was needed as a replacement) and was one of the new Kings Guards made after Roberts Rebellion succeeded.

Us bookreaders don't know what he was and who he worked for. All we know is

1 - he came from the Vale of Arryn with Jon Arryn
2 - he had an excellent pokerface
3 - he tried to kill Tyrion
4 - was killed by Tyrions squire Podrick Payne (nephew of Illyn Payne the guy who had his toung cut out and frightens Sansa (as opposed to the guy who had his face burned off and frightens sansa and the guy who killed her father and frightens sansa))

The best guess we have is that he worked for Littlefinger.

I always thought Cersei put him up to it.

My list of candidates includes

Cersei, Littlefinger, Illyrio Mopatis, Varys, Robb Stark, Dany Targaryen, The Great Other, Doran Martell, Stannis, Balon Greyjoy, Davos Seaworth, Melisandre....

oh bugger, I think the list of people not trying to kill him is shorter...

Jamie, Tommen and Bronn - though Bronn quite possibly might not be on the "not trying to kill him" list.

That sort of logical thinking won't get us anywhere.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.
-J. R. R. Tolkien

I wouldn't be so sure about Tommen. Him and Myrcella are not nearly so innocent as they seem!

No way on tommen, if Tommen had ordered it he would have sent Ser Pounce not Ser Mandon.

Just saw the mud gate episode.  You guys spoiled it for me with all the hype.

Not even one guy could make it up the ladder with Stannis?

You ever try climbing up a ladder with some dudes throwing styrofoam balls at you?
