−	After a time imprisoned by the Faith of the Seven, Queen [[Cersei]] confesses to having committed adultery with her cousin Ser [[Lancel Lannister]], who had joined the [[Faith Militant]] and accused her of fornication, [[regicide]], and [[incest]]. The [[High Sparrow]] informs Cersei that she will still be tried for the other two charges that she denies while allowing her to return to the [[Red Keep]] only if she performs a walk of atonement as penance for her confessed sin. Cersei's hair is cut short and then she is presented to the population of [[King's Landing]] so they will bear witness to her confession and penitence. She is stripped of her clothing and made to walk from the [[Great Sept of Baelor]] to the Red Keep, escorted by members of the [[Faith Militant]], who keep away the leering and jeering crowds who have gathered to see her shame and take the chance to insult their hated Queen Mother. As she walks, Septa [[Unella]] accompanies her crying out "Shame!" repeatedly while ringing a bell to attract people's attention.<ref>"[[Mother's Mercy]]" </ref>	+	After a time imprisoned by the Faith of the Seven,d accused her of fornication, [[regicide]], and [[incest]].
