In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire books a number of individuals, particularly 'begging brothers' - the lowest among the clergy of the Faith of the Seven - begin to speak out against King Joffrey, Queen Cersei and Tyrion, incensed by Stannis' letter and the growing famine in King's Landing due to House Tyrell closing off the Roseroad - through which most of the foodstuff reaches the capital.
