A coat of gold, a coat of red
A lion still has claws
And mine are long and sharp, my Lord
As long and sharp as yours
And so he spoke, and so he spoke

Named after two of the major houses in Westeros, this is the last episode of the series written by
George R.R. Martin. Martin had intended to write an episode for every season, but stopped to
concentrate on writing the sixth "A Song of Ice and Fire" novel, "The Winds of Winter“. Sigur Ros,
an Icelandic post-rock band, was hired for this episode. You can listen to their version of 'Rains Of
Castamere' at the end credits of the episode, and witness the band itself; the three of them are
those whom the king throws coins at.
