Hmm… I think this is three DQs, but my mind is locked on Song of Ice and Fire so I’ll throw those out there, though I think these are wrong. Tywin Lannister (though I think Jamie came to the funeral and Tyrion would have had trouble) Joffrey Baratheon is definitely wrong, unless you give him the Lannister name (which some would) and I’m not even sure where his given name came from; and Tyrion Lannister will most likely work by the end of the series, but alas he hasn’t died quite yet. ---
