- In the game of thrones, the heroes hardly ever prevailed. To win, it took deception, not virtue, cunning, not honor, lies, not truth. When the occasional man or woman of aspiration did rise to the forefront of the land, their end was usually swift, grim, or both. In the War of the Five Kings, that man was Robb Stark. Hello everyone, and welcome back to Exploring Fiction. Eldest son of Lord Eddard and Lady Catelyn, Robb was the heir to Winterfell, and became its lord when his father lost his head. Yet, his grief, honor, and duty drove him to secede from the Seven Kingdoms, adopting a crown and the title King in the North. Robb led his men to many victories, and seemed poised to enact the justice he desired. But in a plot of foul deception, Robb Stark was cut down, as most Westerosi heroes always are, and his fall from savior to grave was swift and grim indeed. So, who exactly is Robb Stark, and why is he such an interesting character? Let’s explore…

In the books it’s heavily implied that Jayne Westerling was a honey trap set by Tywin so Robb would betray his marriage oath to the Freys. After Robb’s murder Tywin pardons the Westerlings for switching to Robb’s side (which is very unusual for Tywin who normally wipes out rebellious house’s completely). Tywin even offers to find a new husband for Jayne.
Robb should’ve ask Jeyne Westerling to drink moon tea if he so hung up about his child being a bastard
Or just not slept with her 😂
She may not have wanted to do that.
It was the fact he made her no longer a virgin that dishonored her not just simply getting her pregnant(which she didn't as far as we know). Besides I don't think Robb would be down for killing his unborn child either way
Should've married the Frey
Nah they would have betrayed him either way.
@Rengokuo4o6 probably if he was gonna lose, but if winning, I think Walder would have been pretty happy so close to the new King with a double marriage.
Bro, you know damn well they were going to betray him even before he showed up with Jeyne don’t u remember them plotting with Toose at Harrenhal in the Arya chapter
@billychops1280 Yes, that's why I said they would betray them if they didn't keep winning
@@billychops1280 They were, but I'm not sure if they would have gone through with it. Either way, since Edmure and Roslin wouldn't be married in this situation, they'd have to find another way to betray him.
Robb was so cool he was like nah im gonna screw it up not losing my 0 to anyone but me
“The shiftiest people alive” 😂😂😂😂😂😂. That’s the damn truth.
Robb is one of my favorite characters and I wish we had gotten a pov of him but seriously just make the girl drink moon tea or keep her on the side. His downfall is so frustrating because it was SO preventable.
I definitely agree, that's part of why it's such a hard pill to swallow. There were so many ways out
Lezgo new vid🎉🎉
When you think about it, Edmure single handedly fucked the whole campaign. With Tywin routed and kings landing taken no deals can be struck with Roose and Walder. A deal could be struck possibly with the Tyrell’s and Robb finally avenges his father, keeps his head, and keeps his westerling wife.
Yep it's so unfortunate to see...
If tywinn did get to the west i think he might have beat robbs army but obviously stannis takes kings landing and if robb didnt die or something in the fight against tywinn then he would have to bend to stanmis or fight him so i donts see his story ending well even if married frey
I hate the freys for what they did to Rob I hope Jon snow kills Rose Bolton and Catalyn kills Walder frey
Lets hear it for greywind, after all was said and done he was the goodest boy.
True
You hate Jon Snow as much as Preston Jacobs hates Jon Snow being the chosen one lol.
I actually love Jon Snow
....it is said....... NO, NO, no. there is no legitimised jon snow nor confirmation that robb named him his successor. that is pure fanon at this point.
It's funny how most people say honour is what gets the Starks murdered but it was actually Robb's LACK of honour that did him in.
Had he just married the Frey girl he would've had an incredibly strong chance at least commanding terms of peace if he didn't out right win ...
Unshakable honour is what got Eddard and questionable honour did one of his sons while having, too, many loyalties got the other (Jon).
