The Purple Wedding is an event in the War of the Five Kings that leads to the death of King Joffrey Baratheon at the wedding feast to his new queen, Margaery Tyrell. Mere hours after their wedding ceremony in the Great Sept of Baelor, King Joffrey is poisoned during the wedding feast. Joffrey's uncle, Tyrion Lannister, is arrested for the murder, though the actual orchestrators are Lord Petyr Baelish and Lady Olenna Tyrell.

  • Joffrey Baratheon's Royal Wedding is a event with A Song of Ice and Fire and its TV adaptation Game of Thrones. It is better known as Purple Wedding, which is a fan-given nickname for it. It is the wedding between King Joffrey I Baratheon and Margaery Tyrell on the first day of the new century, 300 AC. The wedding is a lavish affair, but ends in disarray when Joffrey dies after drinking poisoned wine. Unlike the Red Wedding, this wedding is not called so in the books. The wedding of Joffrey and Margaery has been dubbed the Purple Wedding by fans for various reasons. The poison used to kill Joffrey is smuggled to the wedding in the purple amethyst hairnet of Sansa Stark, while the wine the king drinks is described first as dark red and soon after as purple. Joffrey's face turns red and then darker as he chokes from the poison. Purple is also a color often associated with royalty.
