Game of Thrones - events leading to the "Red Wedding"

[@phansyphuc3698]

Now I understand, the song "The rains of Castamere" is like an omen, a prophecy in which those who dare conspire against the Lannisters fall.

[@z-man1237]

I mean the Lannisters lost and died anyway

[@chitterlingsrtasty]

Yes. Have you heard the entire song?

[@TurinTurumba]

"A Lannister always pays his debts"

[@ifedhimspaghetti]

It's not an omen is it? An omen would be a dire wolf getting chucked off a bridge by two twins. The song is a diss track for a house they already teabagged.

[@locomojoboy2]

I never did pick up on cersei's conversation about "The Rains of Castamere." I also never remembered that Jamie actually said to give Robb his regards. I thought Roose was mainly talking about Tywin/Cersei/Joffrey. Very good video.

[@worldofjacas21]

Kinda to late to answer but i think Jaime didnt know about the Red Wedding, he was just being arrogant to Rob in how he escape

[@artofwrick]

Tywin told his entire plan in gibberish words. What he meant: he wins battles so we won't give him a battle. He is not going to fail, not without our help(Lannister promised the freys, helped them, "certain assurances" as Tyrion says

[@thomaslao9832]

all events: losing jaime because of his stupid mom, losing theon(big oof), breaking frey oath, losing renly to stannis(big oof), not having brienne be his king's guard, beheading karstark, teaming up with a bolton.

[@Johannes_Seerup]

In the Starks defense, the Freys would have betrayed them anyway. They’re cowards hiding behind walls. They don’t fight for a losing site. Specially The Late Walder Frey.

[@SockAccount111]

Bolton (in the series at least) was willing to work for Robb and help him gain victory until things went south

[@peytonsmith1062]

@@SockAccount111 not really. The Boltons were never a good house. I've been watching House of the Dragons and surprisingly made me read the books. The Starks and the Boltons had been rivals for centuries. But no house in the North can challenge the Starks as they have one of the largest armies in the North. The Boltons only moved to Winterfell when they found out what happened to the Starks but when the Starks were alive nobody can truly challenge them in the North. The Boltons were always known for being betrayal just as the Freys. I'm not surprised that the Starks ancestors never destroyed the House Bolton in the recent years when they had the chance. The Starks have always been the ones with "honor." but unfortunately, that had all of them killed and even their house almost don't exist anymore. The Starks in GoT, were literally only Arya, Sansa, and Bran. I wish the Starks nothing but the best in the future.

[@SockAccount111]

@@peytonsmith1062 I said Bolton in GOT, not the books or newly made series, it's quite clear in the show Roose is willing to work normally for his liege until things go sour

[@Rottensparrow]

Robb had one of the best warriors around him, you think Brienne would save him? silly dumbass

[@arami187]

Like Hannibal Barca, Robb can win battles...but he does not know how to use his victories.

[@Praetoria07]

You compare a Warlord General to a fictional general. Hannibal is remembered for its great victories but in reality most of his victories were mediocre wins. AS a good general he was he did not see the power he was dealing with. Rome would had won regardless if we beat them in every battle. Rome was already the superior power, while carthage was just a shadow of what it had the potential to be.

[@mr.newman2318]

@@Praetoria07how were his wins mediocre? How was Cannae mediocre?

[@nightgod18]

@@mr.newman2318 Agreed. Hannibal didnt lose because his wins were pyrrhic or mediocre, he lost because the Merchant Aristocracy of Carthage failed to support him and provide supplies and reinforcements, leaving his army in rags. His strategy of winning over the country also backfired, as most towns resisted him and refused to switch sides. If he had went for Rome directly, he might have stood a chance, but by a certain point he was out of options, and the Romans with Fabius evaded battle and just wore him down with attrition until he was forced to return to Carthage. I believe @Praetoria07 is being a bit romantic with his notions.

I think rob did mistakes ,a lot of mistakes first was asking renly for help rather than stannis baratheon who was true hier after Robert and he was a great battle commander also and this is what ned wanted. So he didn't carry forward the honour of house stark. Second was marrying the nurse, he broke a vow . Third was beheading lord karstark for killing Lannister boys because in war a lot of innocent get killed he should have spared karstark .and i also think rob was a little selfish because he spared his mother for releasing jamie which is bigger treason than killing two Lannister, whatever happened to him was because of his own selfishness, foolishness and wrong decisions.

[@mmac3670]

His first two mistakes were not killing Jaime Lannister and marrying The volantis princess. Also beheading Lord Karstarks when he should have just imprisoned him and his mom Catelyn.

[@barneyboyle6933]

She wasn’t a princess? She was just a field nurse

[@theforce5191]

If Rob killed jaime, his sisters would die. Even if it was labeled as an "accident" or "died in battle," the assumption (no matter how type or false) would be that Rob killed him purposely and therefore Robs sisters would be in danger of death. The best thing to do was to keep Jaime as hostage because he's worth way more than anyone else. Tywin would have made sure of that.

[@NielsorNiek]

I'm sad now, again.

[@mickeypopa]

Cersei basically threatened Margaery with the story of the Rains of Castamere and unfortunately Margaery did not take it seriously enough. So the Tyrells ended up just like the Rains - wiped out by the Lannisters. Three of them blown to smithereens by Cersei, Olenna poisoned by Jaime, their army destroyed and house dismantled and pillaged to the last gold coin. Or as the kids say these days - brutality. 😢

[@sairajdhokate4116]

@@sairajdhokate4116 That's of no comfort to the Tyrells.

[@barneyboyle6933]

They’re a family that has ruled Highgarden for hundreds of years. They can’t go extinct because one single branch of the family died. There are bound to be hundreds of Tyrells out there

[@neoxceptr5824]

You tv series watchers really are clueless. 😂 House Tyrell still exists per the original source. D&D found it easier to kill everyone because they didn't know what else to do with them. 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@khoatran6969]

Jon SS1: u Starks are hard to kill 😊 Jon SS8: welp, good thing I only have half of the Starks, the other half is Targaryen 😅

[@Melted220]

Instead of asking for Walter Freys help again I wish Rob returned to wintterfell and regrouped! He could have left his wife there wt his mother all while keeping an eye on boltons and Karstark’s. Let stannnis keep dealing wt the lannisters

[@Grey_OSN]

Winterfell was taken by Theon afterwards Ramsay, the reason Robb lost the war was due to internal conflicts. It’s easy to point out Talisa/Jeyne and claim she was the reason he lost the war but it wasn’t. Once Catelyn freed Jaime they lost their bargaining chip the heir to Casterly Rock THAT was the moment they started losing. Robb also was the only living male Stark left that the Lannister knew of, its easier for the Boltons to betray one Stark and have a new warden of the North then it is to kill 3 each one would’ve rallied a new army against them. Once Robb was dead at a wedding or in battle they needed a new warden to the North regardless, Roose Bolton saw fit to betray Robb and seat himself there, executing Rickard Karstark admittedly did not help matters either.

[@MrKingYuji]

@@Grey_OSNexecuting Lord Karstark sealed the nail in the coffin, he lost half of his army.

[@SockAccount111]

Winterfell was in ruins, the road to the north was blocked since the ironborn occupied moat cailin and Stannis was still licking his wounds at Dragonstone Also that meant leaving the riverlands undefended

The Karstark dude. While Robb was wrong to kill him that dude was asking for it.

Great selection of clips. Did GRRM foreshadow the events of the red wedding merely by the name he gave the patriarch who oversaw it? Or is it just a meme? My new video reveals all...
