King Aerys II Targaryen - "Those purple eyes grew huge then, and the royal mouth drooped open in shock. He lost control of his bowels, turned and ran for the Iron Throne. Beneath the empty eyes of the skulls, Jaime hauled the last dragonking bodily off the steps, squealing like a pig and smelling like a privy. A single slash across his throat was all it took to end it. So easy, he remembered thinking. A king should die harder than this." - Jamie Lannister recounting the death

Aerys declared fire the champion of house Targaryen and had Rickard hung from the rafters and roasted alive in his armor. Meanwhile, Brandon was put in a strangling device and forced to watch.

Tywin Lannister - Murdered by Tyrion Lannister. Tyrion's finger clenched. The crossbow whanged just as Lord Tywin started to rise. The bolt slammed into him above the groin and he sat back down with a grunt. The quarrel had sunk deep, right to the fletching.
