12/29/2023 0 Comments Game of thrones season 3![]() Robb and Talisa have that gut-wrenching conversation about naming their child-to-be Eddard Stark, after Robb's honored father. Like most weddings, though, the problems start at the reception. The entire time Talisa and Robb are looking lovingly at each other, and Catelyn finally seems to approve - though the plotting was all for naught, her conversation with Robb about sacking Casterly Rock was some nice closure to their relationship. Lord Frey reveals that he has given Edmure his most beautiful daughter to wed, and the ceremony goes off without a hitch. It didn't start out as a terrible wedding. The Stark army arrives at the Twins and Lord Frey extends them hospitality and forgiveness. Edmure Tully is set to marry one of Frey's daughters. By bringing Karstark to justice, Robb lost half of his army and thus had to return on his knees to Lord Walder Frey for assistance.Īnd then we arrive here. His most grievous mistake (outside of marrying Talisa) was executing Lord Rickard Karstark, his most prominent bannerman, for murdering two teenaged Lannister prisoners. Robb Stark trusted in Theon Greyjoy, believing honor would rule their relationship, only to have the Iron Islands run roughshod over the north. Eddard Stark lost his head because he would not play in the dirty politics of King's Landing, and because he warned Cersei that he knew of her incest. The tragedy of House Stark, the most noble and honorable of the great houses of Westeros, is that they are often blinded by honor. Robb secretly marries Talisa and then, much to Lady Catelyn's chagrin, reveals Talisa as his new queen. Of course, there's no telling a hotheaded young king that he cannot have the beautiful maiden fair. Seeing the look in her son's eye, Lady Catelyn Stark reminded Robb of his vow and said that he had a duty to keep his oath to Walder Frey. In exchange for allowing the Stark army to cross, Robb vowed to marry one of Lord Frey's daughters and went on his way.Īlong that way, Robb met the beautiful Talisa (played by Oona Chaplin, granddaughter of famed actor Charlie Chaplin). ![]() ![]() In order to gain the upper hand against Tywin Lannister's army, Robb needed to take a river crossing guarded by the Twins - the stronghold of the lecherous Lord Walder Frey (played wonderfully by David Bradley). How did we get here? Why did this happen? Well, if you remember, after the bratty King Joffrey Baratheon removed Ned Stark's head, his eldest son Robb Stark broke off Winterfell's allegiance to the Iron Throne and was proclaimed King in the North. The climax of this season was the destruction of House Stark and the end of King Robb's rebellion. In the previous two seasons, the penultimate episode was the climax of the season - Ned Stark's beheading in Season One, and the Battle of Blackwater in season 2. If you did see the episode: Are you okay? Take a breath. If you did not see the episode, you are warned. Needless to say, this recap will have massive spoilers. The Rains of Castamere was the ninth episode of Season 3 of HBO's hit series, Game of Thrones, based on "A Song of Ice and Fire" by George R.R. ![]()
