House Martell words, A Game of Thrones
Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The three refusals turn endurance into a political identity. They insist that pressure and defeat are not the same as surrender.

Spoilers for A Game of ThronesShow the scene
House Martell’s words appear in the appendix of A Game of Thrones. They recall Dorne’s history of resisting conquest and belong to the house collectively. This is a motto page, not a claim that one character speaks the three-part phrase in a particular scene.
