TL; DR: De som nämns i mitt svar är:
- Davos Seaworth
- Bronn
- Amory Lorch
- Dunk
Det är dock troligt att de flesta lågfödda människor som kommer till en högre position senare i livet är sannolikt analfabeter.
När det gäller medlemmar i Nattvakt kunde jag inte hitta något uttryckligt fall, men det skulle inte vara förvånande att veta om de har haft analfabeter i högre ranger.
"You do it. They have parchment and ink at the Citadel, as well as longbows. I will expect you to continue with your practice. Sam, the Night's Watch has hundreds of men who can loose an arrow, but only a handful who can read or write. I need you to become my new maester."
A Dance with Dragons, Jon II
Om vi betraktar First Rangers och Wandering Crows som högre ups / commanders i Night's Watch så har det säkert varit ett fåtal bland dem som var analfabeter. Antag ifrån de kända namnen att om någon har efternamn, och så ett hus, de sannolikt hade en Maesters undervisning då vi inte har någon känd analfabeter First Ranger men vi har några vandrande kråkor som inte har något hus: Conwy, Dareon, Gueren och Yoren .
Öppnar detta till någon Herre, vi har fallet med Lord Davos Seaworth som inte kunde läsa eller skriva.
Obediently, he selected a paper at random. "It looks handsome enough, Your Grace, but I fear I cannot read the words." Davos could decipher maps and charts as well as any, but letters and other writings were beyond his powers. But my Devan has learned his letters, and young Steffon and Stannis as well.
A Clash of Kings, Davos I
Davos fall är naturligtvis annorlunda för de flesta herrar som han var lågfödd och steg för att vara en riddare och en herre senare i livet, så att han aldrig fick en Maesters läror tidigt. Eftersom denna berättelse sannolikt liknar andra människor kan vi förmodligen säkert anta att Ser Bronn av Blackwater också är analfabeter som nämns i @ DNAs svar ."I am lowborn," Davos reminded him. "An upjumped smuggler. Your lords will never obey me."
"Then we will make new lords."
"But... I cannot read... nor write..."
A Storm of Swords, Davos IV
Bronn grinned. "My knightly sigil. A flaming chain, green, on a smoke-grey field. By your lord father's command, I'm Ser Bronn of the Blackwater now, Imp. See you don't forget it."
A Storm of Swords, Tyrion I
Bronn gifter sig senare till House Stokeworth och blir deras Herre.
"Bronn put a dagger in his eye, and told me I had best be gone from Stokeworth before the sun went down or I'd get the same. He said he'd pass me around to the g-g-garrison, if any of them would have me. When I ordered Bronn seized, one of his knights had the insolence to say that I should do as Lord Stokeworth said. He called him Lord Stokeworth!" Lady Falyse clutched at the queen's hand. "Your Grace must give me knights. A hundred knights! And crossbowmen, to take my castle back. Stokeworth is mine! They would not even permit me to gather up my clothes! Bronn said they were his wife's clothes now, all my s-silks and velvets."
A Feast for Crows, Cersei VII
Det är faktiskt uttryckligen av Tyrion som Bronn inte kunde läsa.
That night, when the Red Keep was dark, Bronn arrived to find him sealing a letter. "Take this to Ser Jacelyn Bywater." The dwarf dribbled hot golden wax down onto the parchment.
"What does it say?" Bronn could not read, so he asked impudent questions.
A Clash of Kings, Tyrion X
I föreställningen har vi också Ser Amory Lorch som av misstag skickat ett brev till House Dormand istället för House Marbrand för att han inte kunde läsa den.
Tywin Lannister: Can you read? My lord? Can you read? This letter detailing our infantry movements was meant for Lord Damon of House Marbrand. It was sent to Lord Marlyn of House Dormand.
Armory Lorch: My apologies, my lord.
Game of Thrones, Season 2 Episode 6, "The Old Gods and the New"
Som @DariM påpekar senare i samma episod berättar Tywin att Arya Jaime kämpar för att läsa och så Tywin lärde honom själv. Det framgår också av det följande att Jaime är dyslexisk.
Tywin Lannister: Who taught you to read?
Arya Stark: My father, my lord.
Tywin Lannister: Hmm. I taught my son Jaime to read. The maester came to me one day, told me he wasn't learning. He couldn't make sense of the letters. He reversed them in his head. The maester said he'd heard tell of this affliction and that we simply must accept it. Ha! After that, I sat Jaime down for four hours every day until he learned. He hated me for it, for a time. For a long time. But he learned.
ibid
Härigenom kan vi konstatera att den låga eller höga födda i Westeros inte alla kommer att kunna läsa även om de har tillgång till en mästers lärdomar. Jaime kan bara läsa nu eftersom Tywin inte gav upp när mästarna redan hade gjort det.
I Dunk och Eggs historierna lär vi oss också att Dunk, senare Lord Commander of the Kingsguard, är analfabeter.
The old man had ridden with some of these knights; others Dunk knew from tales told in common rooms and round campfires. Though he had never learned the magic of reading or writing, the old man had been relentless when it came to teaching him heraldry, often drilling him as they rode.
The Hedge Knight
Dunk the lunk, thick as a castle wall. He felt his cheeks reddening again. Gingerly he took the parchment from the maester and scowled at the writing. Not a word of it was intelligible to him, but he knew the wax seal beneath the ornate signature; the three-headed dragon of House Targaryen. The king's seal. He was looking at a royal decree of some sort. Dunk moved his head from side to side so they would think that he was reading. "There's a word here I can't make out," he muttered, after a moment. "Egg, come have a look, you have sharper eyes than me."
