Might explain why Varis spits on his grandfather's coffin

Actually, I'm fairly certain that was his uncle's coffin. His father had be dead for longer than his grandfather if I recall and his grandfather's death caused a war od cecession between Varis and his Uncle.

So considering I wouldn't see someone waiting 3-6 months to entome the old emperor I'm preaty sure it was his uncle when its also implyed his grandfather raised him.
