    Roose Bolton : Stabbed Robb right in the heart and died the same way Ramsay Bolton : Killed his enemies by feeding them to his dogs and died eaten by them Theon Greyjoy : Attacked Winterfell, died protecting it Sandor Clegane : Scared of his brother and of fire, died falling into the fire with his brother Walder Frey : Slaughtered some Starks, was killed by a Stark Stannis Baratheon : Was an honorable man who got killed by an honorable woman Jorah Mormont : Betrayed his Queen, died protecting her Lysa Arryn : was pushed in her own moon door Olenna Tyrell : poisoned a Lannister, was poisoned by another Lannister Cersei Lannister : almost never left the Red Keep, died in it The Tyrells : their colour is green, they were burned by wildfire Oberyn Martell : died the same way as her sister and by the same man Ellaria Sand : poisoned Cersei’s daughter, watched HER daughter get poisoned by Cersei Allister Thorn & Olly : killed Jon Snow, Were then hanged by a resurrected Jon Snow Tywin Lannister : The most charismatic, feared and respected man in Westeros, died in his toilets

    One problem with that sigil is that when it is placed on shields in the field of battle, the enemy is reminded that surrender leads to torture. This encourages the enemy to fight to the death. There may be times when the Boltons want to spare their soldiers and make a demand for surrender. The enemy would never agree to that.

    There is a certain randomness about Bolton cruelty that scares the shit out of me. As horrible as the Lanisters are, there's always a reason for their cruelty, but being cruel just for the sake of it, that's just scary but also fascinating, it's why even though I wanted Ramsay to die, I'll still miss him on the show.

    Anyone else notice that during House Starks reign in Winterfell, there was at least a little sunshine that peeked out through the North’s rainy overcast sky. But, when House Bolton takes reign over Winterfell there’s not even a hint of sunlight throughout The North. It’s just dark, colder with Winter on its way & an atmosphere of despair & hopelessness glooming over The North.

    I still wish the show had incorporated the pink color scheme the Boltons' banners had in the books instead of the generic red and black "bad guy" aesthetic. Pink Boltons was one of those cool unconventional details GRRM came up with, and also extra creepy that they literally color their sigil after the flesh of the people they flay. Ramsay in the show ended up being a hugely generic villain right down to the way he was dispatched in a conventional final battle with the good guys and then "ironically" eaten by his own dogs, and the change in color scheme reflected that.

Hell, even the Baratheons are a Valyrian house, although greatly diluted through intermarriage with Westerosi houses. Orys Baratheon was a Valyrian general. Even their name, Baratheon, is clearly more related to Valyrian language than anything Westerosi. The other Valyrian house is House Celtigar.

    I disagree with the video's notion that Roose isn't a gray character. He's the Tywin of the North, a sort of ruthless pragmatist. While he's hated for the Red Wedding, Roose had very good reasons for his betrayal. He knew the war was lost for the North. If you recall the Freys gave almost all their men to Rob when he crossed. He only had 400 to give. Robb would have likely lost the war anyway costing thousands more lives on both sides. To quote Tywin better to kill a few at dinner than thousands in the field. While his actions were despicable they can be justified if you look at it from his perspective. He wasn't totally evil, unlike his son.

    yes, and no. The Red Wedding wasn't galling simply because it was brutal. It was galling because it was so unnecessarily brutal and the killers seemed to take so much pleasure in committing the act. Tywin Lannister would simply have murdered Robb and Catelyn Stark: and preferably kept his own hands clean of the deed. Other people might do despicable things, but the Boltons are the only ones who brag about brutality and indeed go out of their way to be brutal.

    Sophie Jones I think Roose is a complete monster but without the massacre of the northern troops the deal would not work. Tywin needs to get rid of the enemy (and he doesn't take half measures, the Reynes and Tarbeks can attest) and Roose needs to bleed the other lords in order to maintain vast superior numbers under his command. Theon is aghast when he sees how overwhelming in comparison to other houses is the Bolton army when Roose returns home with the troops. Some houses from the North lose so much men thanks to Roose's calculating treachery they can barely pose a threat on their own. And in the books Roose, being tied by blood to Ryswells and Dustins, has powerful allies in the North as well. Not to mention the Karstarks and Freys. He will still lose though like Tywin did because thankfully GRRM is harsh but not nihilistic like some of his fans.

And a powerful and utterly unscrupulous guy like Roose that has power purely by blood has basically a free reign to abuse his servants because he is relatively discreet and careful.

    @@st4ne4rmthevill63 - But the Boltons weren't reliable. They were even a threat to the North. I don't believe in genocide, and at any given point in time there may have been Boltons like Domeric. But I'd execute every single person associated with that house who participated in torturing, raping, etc. And I'd execute every single leader who took up arms against the Starks and their allies. I'd level the Dreadfort, and there would no longer be a House Bolton. All of the survivors would be commoners. All of the houses that were their allies would be led by those who weren't executed. I would express sympathy for any who supported the Boltons out of fear. But for any who may have agreed with the Boltons, they would be warned that they would be executed and their houses would be ended like the Boltons, if they continued any funny business. You shouldn't be so desperate for protection that you'll keep a serious, ongoing threat next door. I'd raise common people to noble people and help them build new castles, before I'd tolerate the bad Boltons and people like them. The Starks could've also given the lands of the Boltons and their allies to Starks and their allies who weren't 1st or 2nd in line to be an heir within their household. For example, 3rd children or aunts and uncles. *Actually, ideally I'd try to lay groundwork to end that system of government and create a constitutional republic. But I doubt that the king and the other houses would be very happy about that.

Why else would Roose lead the Stark infantry into a suicide battle with Tywin. Roose is not a good guy by any means, but he realized there was nothing to gain fighting for Robb Stark

But yea, in the show, the house is garbage, not having Aegon, the prince of Dorne is being seen as an useless person, which is a shame, because he is really cool with his plans of revenge
