which of the wikia? because the show wikia doesnt have anything like that and if they did, i am sure they wrote "in the books" to specify it was a book story.

gameofthrones.wikia.com is for the show while the other is for books.

So cuz its in the books, you wont accept ?

gj22:
I though it was Jaimie because it makes more sense that anyother person. But it wasnt confirmed.

Well its not Jaime. Its Joffrey. Jaime does his own killings.

gj22:
Exactly. It isn't revealed who sent the assassin and LF lied to Catelyn it was Tyrion's dagger. I dont understand why you like to present book stories as fact. Seriously dude.

It wasnt revealed who sent the assassin.

It wasnt revealed but you said Jaime.

It wasnt me who wrote that part. Its from the wikia.

Also there's this, from ASOIAF.

In A Storm of Swords , Tyrion and
Jaime independently deduce that it
was Joffrey who sent the assassin:
After Joffrey uses his new sword
to cut the book Tyrion gave him at
his wedding, he says "I am no
stranger to Valyrian steel". That
strange comment makes Tyrion
realize it was him. Tyrion
remembers overhearing Joffrey
jesting with the Hound in
Winterfell about killing wolves:
"Send a dog to kill a wolf". Even
Joffrey was not so foolish as to
command the Hound to slay a
son of Eddard Stark . Instead he
found his catspaw among the
unsavory lot of freeriders,
merchants , and camp followers
who had attached themselves to
the King's party as they made
their way north. Since even
Joffrey was not stupid enough to
use his own dagger, he went
poking among his father's
weapons. No doubt some diligent
servant had made certain that the
King's weapons went with him, in
case he should desire any of
them. The only thing Tyrion
cannot figure out is Joffrey's
motive. Recalling a nasty quarrel
between Joffrey and Robb, Tyrion
asks Sansa if there was any ill
feeling between Bran and Joffrey,
but her answer is negative. He
guesses then it was mere cruelty
of Joffrey. Another possibility is
that Joffrey grew incensed when
Tyrion slapped him and ordered
him to offer his sympathies to
Eddard and Catelyn about Bran's
injury (simply for the sake of
decorum); in his warped mind,
Joffrey felt so insulted at being
commanded to express sympathy
to Bran's parents that he may
have wanted to sooth his
wounded pride by having an
unconscious seven year old boy
assassinated.

Littlefinger had no role in convincing Joffrey to attempt this (as he was south in King's Landing at the time), but this proved to be another example of how Baelish thrives on chaos, thinking quickly to turn events to his benefit. He had already set in motion his plan to trick the Starks and Lannisters into fighting each other, by convincing Lysa Arryn to
poison her own husband and also write a secret letter to Catelyn claiming that the Lannisters did it. When Catelyn inquired about the knife, Littlefinger knew that he'd lost it to Robert, and must have realized someone in the royal entourage had taken it, but quickly decided to blame Tyrion as the culprit. He possibly chose Tyrion to blame because Cersei and Jaime were already back in the capital city, surrounded by their own guards, while Tyrion was still traveling in the North and would be more vulnerable to Stark reprisal.

It is unknown why the TV series
never reveals that it was Joffrey who
sent the assassin; Joffrey receives
the Valyrian steel sword Widow's
Wail as a wedding gift, as he did in
the books, but no mention is made of
the assassination attempt on Bran
back in Season 1. It is possible that
the reason is the same for not
revealing the truth about Tysha in
"The Children": the producers grew
afraid that casual viewers wouldn't remember that this happened in early Season 1 - even though this was one of the escalating events which sparked the entire Stark-Lannister conflict.

WTF are you talking about? How will killing Nedd Stark's son impress Robert? Why will jeoffrey want to kill bran? They have barely met in season 1 episode 1. And how was the dagger for Robert when Catelyn Stark arrested Tyrion for it? WTF are you talking about? Are you trolling or what?

Ps: I know who you are

"Perhaps a knife, sire. To match your sword. A dagger of the same fine Valyrian steel ... with a dragonbonehilt, say?" Joff gave him a sharp look. "You(he meant to say something) ... yes, a dagger to match my sword, good." He nodded. "A ... a gold hilt with rubies in it. Dragonbone is too plain" " You're not s'pposed to be here; no one's s'pposed to be here. It's a mercy; he's dead already. " "I am no stranger to Valyrian steel". Cersei recalls Robert saying of Bran: "We kill our horses when they break a leg, and our dogs when they go blind, but we are too weak to give the same mercy to crippled children" in front of Joffrey. Joffrey once ripped open a pregnant cat to impress Robert. Jaime figures out it was Joffrey, as a child hungry for a pat on the head from his father.

LeSulk:
I thought the dagger belonged to Lord Baelish

Littlefinger lost the bet to Robert not to Tyrion. That makes it Robert's now.

gj22:
Why would jeoffrey send an assassin to kill bran? :s

Cuz he's a cruel little shi t. Also cuz he was trying to impress Robert, even though Robert wouldn't have consented. And that dagger actually belonged to Robert.

Dragonking:
One thing about GOT is that the good guys always die..but I believe that there is more to Jon snow because Melisande saw something special in him and wanted to seduce him in order for her to get that power in episode 6 or 7. I might be wrong though.

This really gets me. "One thing about GOT is that the good guys always die"" The bad and smart guys always win". Not only because the series is morally ambigious, but also because it hasn't come to an end yet. Being bad doesnt keep you safe, no more so than being good eventually.

Dragonking:
I just dey laugh when people say that Ramsay will defeat Stannis..Ramsay that has no battle experience. SMH.

People need to let go of their emotions and think outside the box.

Am yet to watch the episode 10 though but victory shall be ours. Stannis for victory.

What's with you and "letting go of emotions".

themodernman:
Jaime has always been a good guy, he was even pushed by Cersei to shove Bran...you could see he didn't want to...dats why he said "things we do for love".

Jaime is a cool guy.

No it was Cersei who didnt want to push Bran not Jaime.

gj22:
He attempted to kill a child for the good of the realm? He failed and also attempted assassination and even trying to frame tyrion. How about killing his cousin? Was that for the good of the realm too? How about blowing your own sister and having 3 children with her, for the realm I guess.

It was Joffrey that sent the assassin actually. But i get your point.

themodernman:
This shove was the only action that made him look bad and he HAD to do it for the good of the realm...name any other scene where he did bad...he saved Brienne from being raaped by Bolton's men and came back for her when she was passed to a Bear for Lunch.

Not another "for the good of the realm".
