📘 What happened at the Battle of the Whispering Wood? 📘

[@matiashogden1240]

‘Greywind howled’ Hooo

[@bridge4]

hhooOOOoooo

[@ladyfoxwf1075]

Aru aruuuuuu

[@systemofafox6487]

Damn, too bad the show didn't show the battle, I would have loved to see Jamie cutting his way to Robb.

[@bridge4]

yup. everyone always says "what has jaime done?!?" ... and this is a great example, aside from everything before the events of the story. so i hear ya. would have been great to see it play out on screen

[@mago2267]

Would have been great to see Stark levies in action

[@bridge4]

For sure. This scene would have been awesome on screen, with music and sound effects

[@MrRDRII]

Would have been amazing! Him screaming ROBB! ROBB! as he cuts men down. A lot was left on the table.

[@bridge4]

I'm so with ya

[@eldarranger5063]

That howl tho

[@theguy9150]

[@BlackOpsHR]

"HAUUUUU"

[@TheOldBlackShuckyDog]

That was hilarious 😂

[@narellewooding8319]

Loved that part in about jaime doing all he can to kill robb stark i still remember reading it thinking "wow jaime's a badass"

[@bridge4]

yeah, jaime is a true stud on the field. both in terms of his skills and also his lack of fear. he always goes for the snakes head (like he tried with Dany at the field of fire in season 7) he's totally down with self-sacrifice in an attempt to end wars with as few deaths as possible he's actually my favorite character now. somehow, he surpassed my man man for years - Ser Davos and Sandor has really grown on me too. i'd say those are my top three, aside from shireen and pod. who are yours?

[@narellewooding8319]

samwell jaime and jorah are my favorites I really like tyrion in the books never a dull moment my opinion. I get why you like davos but the show version for me not so much. He served stannis now he's dead and where was he? out looking for another leader with better prospects I'm quoting brienne hahaha but it's true

[@Rolvon69]

bridge4 can’t help but love Bronn..

[@bridge4]

Bronns fun, putting aside his comment about killing children back in the early days Seems he is finally getting past money tho which is cool

[@Rolvon69]

bridge4 I also can’t seem to find the follow up video to this, I looked in the description for it.

[@garintj1547]

[@Jake-cy7to]

OMG, I FOUND MY DISTANT COUSIN!

[@bridge4]

Lol

[@whitewolf8644]

Holy shit Kev!. I would pay good money for you to narrate the GOT books in full. Or just a bedtime story. Love your voice as always. And I'm serious about narration on your part too. You're so soothing😌 lol.

[@bridge4]

lol id do it for free. but unfortauntely, i think id get in trouble by the publishers :-O

[@whitewolf8644]

bridge4 lol ah darn it!😂. Well we always have your videos so...😉👍🏻

[@LisaMariavanHarmelen]

Great video once again! The war was a bit confusing for me in the show. But now I understand it, finally haha

[@bridge4]

+Lisa van Harmelen thanks,lisa. Loved your new duet btw

[@LisaMariavanHarmelen]

Thank you!

[@LivingMyRhapsody]

bridge4 cinderella was one of my favorite ones back then (similar to frozen for kids these days 😅). Beautifully done song, brought back many great memories 😢😄

[@samdoesvids1339]

The entire show is based off a series of wars, so basically you are saying you don’t understand GOT? I hope you aren’t one of these people who scout the outfits and stick around for the sex scenes. However, the fact that you are here on the video comments sections means you probably aren’t.

[@ragnarlodbrok1233]

[@ivanbluecool]

Gregor is killing people. He is being really mean. That just made me laugh so hard. Thank you

[@bridge4]

+ivanbluecool lol I was wondering if anyone would call me out on that. I script most of what I say in most videos. But i adlib bits as I'm recording with whatever comes out naturally bc scripts just dnt feel rigjt as you say them outloud And "he wss being really mean" is what came out. As I kept talking, I was totally thinking "well that was an interesting way of putting it" lol

[@ivanbluecool]

bridge4 it was so funny. Sandor is gonna stop his big bully brother. By giving him a head lock

[@bridge4]

followed up by a swirly

[@ivanbluecool]

bridge4 FAMILY ABUSE

[@bridge4]

+ivanbluecool lol

[@ladyfoxwf1075]

Robb 😭😭😭 I can’t deal with Stark deaths! His strategy’s were amazing!!! Robb’s death was almost as sad as Rickon’s. Poor Arya was so disturbed after seeing Greywind sewn onto Robb’s head...

[@bridge4]

Her passage the next morning is heart wrenching. The first time the hole inside her where her heart had been is mentioned. And arya wishing she could just sleep forever and never wake up... it outs her close to a tommen situation :(

[@ladyfoxwf1075]

bridge4 Tommen 😭 And yes that passage made me cry...

[@kingjucio3820]

Need should've sent Beric with only 20 good men would have totally crushed the Mountain

[@OneEightSeven187]

That howl tho xD cracked me up a bit

[@jasonweekswardenofthenorth5914]

I liked the breakdown with the visuals Really puts it together How bout Blackwater bay?

[@joanneb9672]

Wow it seems so long ago now. It makes me think tho if Robb had kept his word & married Lord Frey's daughter would things of been different ??? Great content 👌🏼. I really enjoyed this video, so thank you 👍🏼😎.

[@bridge4]

+Joanne Barlow If he hadnt reneged on that deal,freys daughter woukd have been queen ib the north. I doubt he would have conducted the red wedding Ibe never analyzed it in depth tho, so maybe I'm missing something It stinks that people had to do all these forced marriages tho. It's at the root of alot of prblems, IIke cersei and king robert

[@joanneb9672]

bridge4 , Yeah I totally agree, I bet it was awful to be forced to marry someone because you was told too. As a female you'd feel just like a breeding mare and the male like he had no control of his life. Also it would be pot luck on whether you both ended up even liking each other lol. It's true like u said that was the cause of many of the problems in GOT /ASOIAF, King Robert & Cersei, Rhagar etc. Great topic & a enjoyable video content. You're a good dude bridge4 😉. Thanks 😎

[@bridge4]

+Joanne Barlow :)))I didn't mention it in this video, but as I read the chapters and reached the scenes for it, I got reminded that part of the deal with the freys was marrying arya to one of the freys when she came of age. Can u imagine if someone had tried forcing lyanna, I mean arya, to marry someone!?!?

[@ethnikistis89]

i think they will betray robb either way the freys are traitors cunts who licks twin boots because they think he is the best

[@joanneb9672]

Giannis Kolias . I agree 👌🏼.

[@smackaroo3000]

This really helped me visualise this battle

[@bridge4]

Awesome. Glad it worked :))

[@Jockeylotforfun]

Wow! great job illuminating the battle. Seems like George read tacitus. His descriptive writing of all catelyns senses being assaulted by the battle was incredibly masterful. Thanks for bringing in diagram of forces! Love QOT.🌹 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

[@bridge4]

+The Lady Olenna Tyrell thanks, m'lady!

[@smithatkinson9962]

These great battling techniques has surely been missing in season 7 thanks to the stupidity of D&D, I hope George RR Martin will help in the writing of season 8 or it will be an awful ending to a great series

[@adopotato8820]

this comment cuts deeeeeeeeeeep

[@NoSoapp]

Oh no

[@55bueller]

Thank you for doing a video on this, I've always had questions and a deep fascination for the Battle at Whispering Wood

[@bridge4]

i actually aimed to do the second part: battle of the camps. but decided it was worth doing this one first as a set up. battle of the camps was pretty cool. very strategic. aiming for that one next monday

[@bridge4]

battle of the camps btw, is what happens next. jaime had taken 2k men to go get that scoutng pary. turned out to be a trick. robs 6k beats him and captures him then they go to riverrun and take out all 12-13k of jaime's leaderless forces and free riverrun they dont talk about it in the show, but supposedly they mention this happenining in a blueray extra or something

[@55bueller]

bridge4 I haven't seen this Bluray extra I'll have to go back through the special features. Looking forward to your next video on this. There are a lot of good things from the books that are hardly ever talked about!

[@ladyfoxwf1075]

55bueller I like the way you wrote that. Dunno why.

[@Meidaneh_Shush]

[@VondaInWonderland]

Whooo, that took my breath away 💨 Rob really was a great leader and the fact that he was 15.... incredible ♥

[@bridge4]

+VonDa in Wonderland he mave have been 16. 16 at most. I pretty sure it said "before his 16th bday." I just started second guessing my memory. I'll get back to ya on thst But either way. Yeh, not perfect. But pretty awesome dude!

[@VondaInWonderland]

i dont know how to tag either :-/

+Ciro Martins de Abreu hard to mess this one up since it's such a cool topic with cool characters. ThanK you tho :)))

[@Jockeylotforfun]

"Catelyn thought so this is what death sounds like, yet there was MUSIC in it too". Later, MUSIC is the sound of death at the red wedding when the band plays the Lannister song. No wonder these books take years! never made the connection til now, thanks to you Kev! Love QOT.🌹

Robb stark's every scene is better than season 7 and 8.

[@chicken1456]

I know everyone in the comments are praising Rob ( as they should) . But shit Jamie sounds like a straight badass during this battle shame we never got to see it on screen

[@bridge4]

+Chicken 14 yup. He saw the leader and went for him. Similar to an event in s7 :)

[@chicken1456]

bridge4 damn I completely forgot about that smh Jamie deserves to survive till the end lol

[@bridge4]

+Chicken 14 you just pumped me up to finish an "in defense of jaime lannister" video that I began a couple weeks ago It took me awhile to come around,bc its hard ti forgive that infamous push. But in early 2017, I finally realized that I'm officially on team jaime. He subsequently became one of my favorite characters :)) I'm with you in hoping he survives, but I am fearful that he won't :( as long as he finds out jon I'd rhaegars son and earns back his honor (in his own head) but protecting rhaegars child, then I'll be happy :)

[@chicken1456]

bridge4 oh yea the push smh well I honestly feel like to this point he has redeemed himself. He has done some bad things but also a lot of good to this point especially how season 7 ended. Now don't get me wrong it was horrible he pushed Bran but honestly ask yourself what would you do in that situation?

[@bridge4]

the video im making is actually about how the push isnt really that "wrong" in a way. its wrong from our perspective, but our world isnt lke theirs. we have a justice system to protect our rights. being with cersei was weird, but shoud it have been punishable by death? imo, no. but in their system, thats what would have happened so i cant say id have done the same. at least, id hope not. but i also no longer think he even needed redemption. they just live in a flawed system, where some choices unfortunately have to be made at the expense of others.... pretty sad

[@nikhiljhaveri3377]

Crazy to think Robb was 15, and leading tens of thousands of men into battle as a king.

[@bridge4]

totally insane. its unfortunate that "the children" had to go through this kind of stuff

[@yessica5231]

the howl was the cutest thing ever!😆😆

[@bridge4]

It was weak lol

[@quickpawmaud]

I have not read the books but I liked that victory requires sacrifice and that Robb had to make a hard choice in order to get the best outcome

[@bridge4]

for sure. war's a dirty business :-/

[@TheOldBlackShuckyDog]

Dude, did you have to do the howl 😂😂😂 that was fucking hilarious

[@serioushamster]

makes a little more sense then the show.I was wondering how Robb Stark managed to beat Jamie despite being outnumbered.

[@CJ-gi1jh]

This is your best video yet. More like this please

[@bridge4]

+Chris Jarvis thanks, Chris! I'm aiming to do s similar one to this next monday on another battle

[@LivingMyRhapsody]

[@ohyea55]

That aruuuuu was so scary it felt like I was there lololol

[@jess71689]

They should have had this battle in the show! Robb was better than Jon at swords (as per Jon) so add that to a two handed Jamie battle it would have been epic!!

[@bridge4]

exactly. its a shame we didn't get to witness it. it would have been soooo, as you said, epic! =))

I watched GOT start to finish as the last few episodes of S8 were blowing up online, and I started watching your videos then. With the virus killing any free time activities I normally keep, I thought it was a good time to start reading for pleasure again, for the first time in a couple of years. I downloaded the ASOIAF set on my Kindle and started today. Thanks for getting me back into my favorite passtime, Kev.

[@thunderclap7154]

The art of war, by Rob Stark

[@bridge4]

+Thunder Clap I like the sound of that!

[@Maebi_not]

That’s howl fucked me up😂😂

[@KOriginalAddict]

thank you so much for this explanation this makes so much more sense what a pity it wasn't shown on screen would've been so good to see robb lead the battle that really showed what a mastermind military guy he is (which later on jaime even uses on season 7 and brings him up)

[@bridge4]

yeah. he made some mistakes (thalisa and karstark), ct made some (tyrion and jaime), and edmure made one. but at times, robb was a legit commander... at 15 years old!! =)

[@KOriginalAddict]

yeah, but in the show it was more the fact that robb had the best strategy but people's incompetence ruined things for him like cat and edmure going against his wishes (tho he should've warned edmure about the POINT of making the lannisters come to them before) the red wedding was a way for tywin to retaliate for the time they took jaime and he only had enough insurance to do that when he was set free, i don't think he'd risk such a huge move while they still had him, that's why robb didn't want to let him go that easy robb was a wonderful leader, one that inspired so much respect and justice (in a way) but also admiration, it's a real shame most people around him, his mother who went behind his back with no real insurance she could get sansa at all, and the karstark guy (that i really hate) who was insanely hell bent on revenge that he should've sent him away on some mission idk he created more problems, and also theon betraying him (didn't ned tell cat to not leave him alone there something like that?) his fall wasn't really because of his own actions safe for going back on his word (that was more justified in the books as he didn't want to dishonor a girl than just kinda selfish desire for love that had no place in the middle of war) but more the incompetence of everyone under him, the blackfish was the only one who had very good input btw i made some comments on your previous jaime vid i think you'd be interested (i wrote a lot) to discuss it ;)

[@harshgulati3907]

Man you are just great. Your channel deserves much more subs!💪

[@bridge4]

+harsh gulati thanks, harsh :)

[@ladyfoxwf1075]

Ikr he seems like such a great person with his care for the kids on the show, Shireen being one of his favourites and his quote “innocent fields” 😆🙂

[@MrUser10001]

It would have been good to get a Rob Pov chapter to get his view on his first battle.

[@mike.n.n.7723]

In my opinion the main thing which cost Robb the war was when Edmure decided to attack the Mountain instead of staying put This attack freed Tywin's forces to go to Kings Landing and join their forces to the Tyrells and defeat Stannis at the Blackwater If Tywin was unable to move, most probably Stannis would have overpowered Kings landing and Cersei and Tyrion would be ornamenting spikes And if Joffrey was dead there is no incentive for the Tyrells to side with the Lannisters And Stannis would probably help Robb defeat Tywin

[@UAPReportingCenter]

Amazing video!! Longer n more in depth would be great!

Yes I did so I had to watch it :) Shit... I wasn't even paying attention to video quality, it looked fine to me. I was too busy watching it for what you had to say cause you are straight up amazing!!!

[@bridge4]

You're too kind. Thanks :))

[@pavansonty1]

great video. I couldnt find other 2 videos you mentioned at the end - Roose vs Tywin & Robb lifting riverrun siege. Could you pls give me the links.

[@bridge4]

My apologies. I actually put them on the back burner since this one didn't get enough views at the time. I'll eventually do them, NC they are pretty cool. BUT right now I'm just seaching endlessly for the types of topics that can keep the channel alive. But once I can, I'll get back to the cool battles and top fighter analysis (Sometimes I give heads up inside videos ahead of time bc u can't change a video once it's uploadrd. But that backfire when I move on to other topics inside. Apologies :-/

[@pavansonty1]

ok..thx for the reply. One suggestion - if possible edit the title of this video & add 'Robb' & 'Jaime' name - like 'Robb capturing Jaime' etc. That might get you more views. And same goes for any other battle video - include the major character names.

[@VashtheStampede007]

I’d like to see the Roose vs Tywin too. On screen Roose give me the same impression as Tywin. As someone always hiding something... and smart ass. I second what the other guy suggested. Add in the famous characters names will increase search volume

[@amandablythe6515]

Don't forget Jon said Rob was a better fighter and rider. Robb was smart enough not to fight jamie in his prime. Would Jon be smart enough to make the same call. I'm not so sure

awesome, thank you!

[@Revex08]

Great video! Loved seeing your take on it all!

[@bridge4]

+Ben Jackson thanks, ben!

[@Revex08]

Just out of curiousity, what decisions do you think Robb could have made that would have turned out better for him in this particular battle? I am not sure, as you say, whether or not sending 16,000 men to die was the best idea, but i see that it may very well have been the right one giving the intel he had and the situation he found himself in! I can only imagine that having almost your entire close family held at swordpoint(?) ;) would also play a factor in the urgency of your decision making! What tactical decisions if any do you think he could have made in this battle to improve his odds of winning the war overall? I think that I believe making the Jaime Lannister trade overall wasn't worth it, giving that almost the best case scenario at the end of this is that he has around 6000 strong men left, and Jaime Lannister. An absolutely great hostage in any situation definately, though I feel he would have been better off without the hostage in this case, and with a strong, capable army instead. Would love to hear your thoughts on this! Hope life is treating you well Kevin! Ben J

[@bridge4]

in the show, he sent 2k to die. i dont think he intended them to die in the books tho. 16k to 20k (granted, hs 16k didnt have much cavalry, but even so, i think he was hoping theyd win the day) as far as moves to help wn the war, he did everything right here. and in the next battle. hs wrong move was thalisa. and aso cat messed t up by lettng tyrion go and then freeing jaime. oh and another BIG mistake was klling karstark. he lost all those men because of it atleast 2k iirc

[@bridge4]

and edmure scrwewed him too bc pushing laninster forces back. if he hadnt done that, they would have traveled west to fight, and stannis would have taken the city he then could have bent the knee to stannis, like his dad wanted (and he supported)

[@jamiewalker8493]

bridge4 one of my favourite battles from the books but oxcross would be awesome if you could cover it

[@Traye76]

Loras Tyrell wanted to be the one to chase down The Mountain, if he goes maybe he dies like Beric D. If he dies no way do the Tyrells side with the Lannisters, Tywin ultimately being responsible for giving The Mountain the order to raid and kill, Loras included. Without those men, Stannis takes Kings Landing and the Lannisters lose the war. That's how delicate the situation was.

[@KappinhoCRO]

Great video! Too bad we didn't see more of these battles on the show, especially Tyrion fighting in it

[@bridge4]

+Kappinho yup. I'm gonna share the battle on the green fork soon. Tyrion deserves respect. I can't believe they just had his clans men run over him in the show lol

[@KappinhoCRO]

Guess they didn't want to make him even more of a badass xD and now his character is wasted in last three seasons. Anyways, keep going with these!

[@jimmybatayiannis3661]

hey man, doing a great job. any way you can do a video on how good of a fighter robb stark was. kinda disapointed that the show didnt atleast give us a look. they talked him up so much!!!

it'd be awesome if you do a book read of the entire series! its a lot of work but if you ever get around to do it, it would be epic with your voice.

[@RedBullxMD]

WELL DONE

[@bridge4]

+Michael M thanks michael!

[@wafflingmean4477]

The show strategy would never have worked. If you just send 2000 of your own men off to be murdered, it will completely break the morale of your army. Those 2000 men would likely have surrendered to the Lannisters immediately if they accepted the command to go at all, and all the troops remaining would be looking for a new commander or an end to the war by any means necessary. Also, not only does it break morale, but troops weren't that easy to come by. A loss of 2000 (10% of Rob's army) is a very large blow and could seriously screw you over in the long run. Pitched battles were actually very rarely fought because both sides would lose so much from it. Mostly it was just skirmishes, raids and sieges. Another example that has both of these problems is Ramsay firing on his own troops at Winterfell. I get the reason he fought outside the walls is because he figured due to a huge numbers advantage and the wildlings lack of tactical awareness he could massacre them, especially if he could manipulate them into charging, which he did. That was a bad tactic but it's a decent argument that Ramsay needs to appear strong because his support of the north was fragile. There was far more risk involved than he realised because he didn't know the Knights of the Vale were coming. But in that battle, he kills his own troops with arrows, which would break morale but seriously threaten his hold on the North. The Boltons lost a lot less men than most because they switched sides in the War of Five Kings, and they need to hold as many men as possible at all costs because they are outright hated by most of the North. So it was a terrible move for that. Also, he shoots down his own cavalry. That was a stunningly stupid idea, because horses were incredibly expensive and much harder to come by than just a normal soldier. Most horses were owned by the rider, who would usually be of minor nobility and up, not a peasant. And this problem is magnified by winter, as the harsh snows present a serious problem in keeping horses alive anyway. In the books both Stannis and Roose Bolton have serious issues with this. Stannis lost most of his cavalry on the march to Winterfell and Roose had to resort to stabling the horses in Winterfell's great hall with his own troops.

Where are the videos mentioned at the end of the video?

[@Gotten37]

Your videos are so great! You can make a video on a random scene from the show or a random sentance from the books and it would be thoughroly entertaining!

[@bridge4]

+Gotten37 lol I dunno about that. I made one a couple weeks ago that I wouldn't publish bc I didnt like it. I decided I'll publush it wed and see if anyone likes it tho lol. And the oNE I literally just finished is something pretry small from s7e1,yet I sort of mentioned some big topics without diving into them, so it feels flat. Or off. It's targeting for Friday but I dunno lol. I have some fun stuff ib the pipeline tho, at least I hope But anyway thank you for the kind words!

[@Gotten37]

bridge4 yes of course! We will gladly watch any video you put out. If I could throw an idea/request your way, perhaps a video on the relationship between Dany and her dragons from the books? The show has little to nothing on that matter.

[@bridge4]

im actually hafway done with one of those. i always get tangented from ideas to work on "simpler" ones. the dany hatching video actually stemmed from a video im working on related to her dragon bond, and whether her bond with the dragon changes her

[@Gotten37]

bridge4 Awesome! Looking forward to it! I'll leave you to it my friend :)

[@QuantumTap]

did Roose Bolton order his son to sack Winterfell if he did then thats would weaken his side in the middle of a war unless, he was allied with Tywin, or was thinking ahead about this, since season 2 would Roose really have risked weakening his own Kingdom at a chance of being promoted to Warden of the North or do you think Ramsey did it for fun and Bolton pride, knowing he could get away with it, and then Roose simply made the best of a bad situation once he saw that Robb was blinded with rose coloured glasses, and saw this as a weakness

[@paqliam]

I don't see a link in the description for a video about the battle on the east side of the river with Roose Bolton.

[@bridge4]

Haven't made it yet unfortunately. Just trying to keep my he'd above water, and based off this one, I don't that video will get many views. Hopefully some day tho because it's really neat :)

[@kendalrymple1111]

It’s pronounced Cavalry. Not Calvery. The trick is that the v comes before the L.

[@bridge4]

Thanks :)) Talking is not my forte.

[@shoepuffwilliam560]

I don't remember the battle passages in the book maybe it's cause I haven't read them in years but it seems like I wouldn't have forgotten them

[@sithwizard5775]

You should narrate the battle of the fist of the first men since the show left it out.

[@joeallenmartino352]

[@JawBreaker1.]

Jaime is unstoppable in the books, hr literally fought many men at once. In the series he is just eh

[@alexmccleod243]
