Game of Thrones (season 4) List of Game of Thrones episodes

"First of His Name" is the fifth episode of the fourth season of HBO's fantasy television series Game of Thrones, and the 35th overall. The episode was written by series co-creators David Benioff and D. B. Weiss, and directed by Michelle MacLaren. It aired on May 4, 2014.

The title of the episode refers a phrase used during Tommen Baratheon's coronation as king. A similar style is used by Daenerys Targaryen styling herself Queen in Meereen. Each of them are the first claimant to the Throne of the Seven Kingdoms to use that name.

Tommen Baratheon (Dean-Charles Chapman) is crowned as king. Afterward, Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) and Margaery Tyrell (Natalie Dormer) talk about Joffrey's nature, and how Tommen may be the first truly deserving king Westeros has had in decades. In council with her father Tywin (Charles Dance), Cersei decides that Tommen and Margaery will marry in a fortnight. They also make plans for Cersei's wedding to Loras Tyrell (Finn Jones), and discuss how the gold mines in the Westerlands have run dry. Tywin tells Cersei that the crown is deeply indebted to the Iron Bank of Braavos, and that the union of the houses of Lannister and Tyrell will help rectify this problem. Cersei also tries to influence Tywin into declaring Tyrion guilty in his upcoming trial. In the gardens, Cersei speaks to Oberyn Martell (Pedro Pascal) about her daughter, Myrcella Baratheon. She asks him to bring a ship back to Sunspear as a gift for Myrcella, which he agrees to do.

Lord Petyr Baelish (Aidan Gillen) and Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner) arrive in the Vale of Arryn. At the Bloody Gate, he tells Ser Donnel Waynwood (Alisdair Simpson) that Sansa's name is Alayne, hiding her true identity as she is still wanted in King's Landing for Joffrey's murder. Upon their arrival they are received by Lady Lysa Arryn (Kate Dickie) and her son, Robin (Lino Facioli). Lysa is aware of Sansa's true identity, and has Robin show her to her chamber. When they have gone, Lysa expresses her desire to marry Petyr that day, and speaks of what she has done for him, including poisoning her previous husband, Lord Jon Arryn, and accusing Lannisters in her letter to Catelyn. In order to quiet her, Petyr agrees to marry her as soon as possible. At night, Lysa and Sansa talk about Catelyn, and how Petyr loved her. Their conversation grows tense, with Lysa accusing Sansa of having seduced Petyr, but is eventually convinced by Sansa that she is a virgin and that Baelish feels little but contempt for Sansa. Lysa tells Sansa that once Tyrion Lannister has been executed, she will be married to Robin.
