19. Ser Galladon of Morne was a legendary knight fromTarth from
whom many nobles and smallfolk of the region claim descent.His
valor was so great the Maiden, of the Seven, fell in love with him.
She gave him an enchanted sword, the Just Maid, to demonstrate
her love for him. No sword could check the sword's blows, no shield
could stop them.According to the legend, Galladon only unsheathed
the sword three times, not once against a mortal man, for the fight
would have been unfair.
Maester Hubert in his Kin of the Stag suggests that Galladon of
Morne was not a warrior of the Age of Heroes turned into a knight
by singers, but an actual historical figure of more recent times,
noting that Morne was a royal seat of petty kings on the eastern
coast ofTarth until the Storm Kings made them submit, though its
ruins were made by Andals and not the First Men.
Simply identify his nickname.

29. 'Do the Hippogriff' also known as 'CanYou Dance Like a
Hippogriff' is a song that was written and sung by the 'weird
sisters'.On the Christmas night of 1994 it was performed at the
Yule Ball at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and wizardry.
Only a small portion of the song was included in the theatrical
vesion of the film Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire though its
DVD contains the full song.The band was just introduced as ‘The
band that needs no introduction' due to some legal issues.
A particular line and the general vocalisation of the song in the
film is reminiscent of a 1980s musical hit which was once #27 in
the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart.The inspiration for
the song was the sight of a young Japanese crowd dancing with
their own reflexions in walled mirrors.

explanation for everything.However Maester Aemon wasn't
one such and this was one of the reasons why he wasn't

be one.He tells Sam that a certain 'event' which happened
during the reign of Aegon lll wasn't arbitrary and that the
maesters were responsible for ensuring that the 'event' was

impossible to see something they've seen from before this
