Who Would Win in a Fight: Barristan Selmy or Arthur Dayne?
The Battle of the Best
In a hypothetical duel between two of the most formidable knights in Westeros, George R.R. Martin has weighed in on who would emerge victorious: Arthur Dayne, wielding his legendary sword Dawn.
The Contenders
Barristan Selmy, known as Barristan the Bold, was a renowned knight from House Selmy. He served as Lord Commander of the Kingsguard under Robert I Baratheon.
Arthur Dayne, a member of the Kingsguard during King Aerys II Targaryen's reign, was considered one of the greatest swordsmen of all time. His sword, Dawn, was a Valyrian steel blade of immense sharpness and strength.
Martin's Verdict
When asked who would win in a duel, Martin stated that if both Dayne and Selmy fought with regular swords, the outcome would be even. However, if Dayne wielded Dawn, he would triumph.
