If viewers held any hope before that maybe Joffrey was just your average experimental sadist, Ros shot through to the bedpost was surely the final straw. His uncle Tyrion, who he had been drunkenly berating just moments before choking out in front of his pigeon pie, is ultimately charged with the good deed, but clues in the book heavily point to Olenna Tyrell as the culprit see: hero.
Given the influx in character development both she and Margaery have gotten in the show versus the books, this is likely to be more than just implied in Sunday night's episode. Sansa flees the feast when Joffrey begins choking. Inwardly, she rejoices that the king has died. She examines her hairnet and notices that an amethyst stone is missing. She recalls that Ser Dontos told her the hairnet was magical and would bring her home, and Sansa suspects foul play.
Dontos appears and smuggles her through the castle, and then they descend a secret staircase on the outer wall. They board a boat, where Sansa recognizes Petyr Baelish. When Dontos asks for payment for delivering Sansa, Petyr has Dontos killed with crossbow bolts.
Petyr explains that Dontos was a selfish drunk and would reveal their plot. He also reveals that the idea for the jousting dwarfs was his. He assures Sansa that she is now safe with him. Daenerys already feels herself to be vulnerable.
Neither seems to be actively trying to sabotage her, but the sense of betrayal Daenerys feels means she will have a great deal of difficulty trusting either again.
SparkTeach Teacher's Handbook. Themes Motifs. Boros Blount and Meryn Trant are certain it was Tyrion, because he refilled the chalice twice and later spilled its contents. Balon Swann disagrees, pointing out that many of the guests and servants were moving about; when Joffrey and Margaery cut the wedding pie, every eye was on them, and no one watched the wine chalice; anyone who was on the dais among them the king's family, the bride's family, Pycelle and the High Septon could have slipped the poison.
Loras thinks it was Sansa, claiming that she was only person in the hall who had reason to want Margaery and Joffrey dead; why did she run afterward, unless she was guilty? Jaime figures Tyrion may be innocent after all, but has no way to find out the truth since Sansa escaped. He decides to leave the murder mystery unsolved, and make sure no harm happens to Tommen too.
When Oberyn Martell visits Tyrion at his cell, he says amusingly: "I have much to thank your sister for. If not for her accusation at the feast, it might well be you judging me instead of me judging you. Who knows more of poison than the Red Viper of Dorne, after all? Who has better reason to want to keep the Tyrells far from the crown? And with Joffrey in his grave, by Dornish law the Iron Throne should pass next to his sister Myrcella , who as it happens is betrothed to mine own nephew, thanks to you".
Oberyn's words imply that there have been two parallel, independent plots to murder Joffrey by poisoning. It is unknown how Oberyn sought to kill Joffrey perhaps the scorpion-shaped brooch, which he gave Joffrey at the breakfast prior to the wedding, was coated with poison ; whatever his plan was, the Tyrells have beaten him to it.
In the fourth novel, Cersei becomes annoyed as a result of Margaery's growing influence over Tommen. Suddenly she realizes the Tyrells had a strong motive to kill Joffrey: he was too stubborn to be influenced, in sharp contrast to his sweet gentle brother, so the Tyrells disposed of him in order to make Tommen a puppet king, whom Margaery could easily control. While that conclusion is partly-correct, Cersei concludes wrongly that Tyrion was the co-conspirator; that the Tyrells helped him escape from prison by bribing the gaolers that explains, in Cersei's mind, the Tyrell coin which Qyburn found in one of the gaolers' cell ; and maybe they conspired to murder Tywin too.
Joffrey's death had been prophesied by an old woods witch , a collaborator of the Brotherhood Without Banners , known as the Ghost of High Heart: " I dreamt of a maid at a feast with purple serpents in her hair, venom dripping from their fangs ". When Stannis is informed about Joffrey's death, he comments " Weddings have become more perilous than battles, it would seem ". Recalling how Joffrey once cut a pregnant cat open, Stannis states that whether Tyrion or the leech ritual was responsible for Joffrey's death - the killer has served the kingdom well.

It's not explicitly confirmed in the books, but the likeliest candidates are the Tyrells and Littlefinger, same as in the show. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes.
