Eddard Slark Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I always thought the army that Manderly was building had 5-10k men in it, though there is no textual evidence to support this theory either way. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maester Joe Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 He only sent 1,500 south with Robb and he's been recruiting A LOT lately so definitely at least 5k, but it very well could be near 10k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lion of the West Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I don't think he has more than maybe 5000 men. I could be wrong but until I see those men on the field I will remain skeptical about his boasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Northman Reborn Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 My guess is he has around 6000 left in his own right.More if you add the rest of the Southeast-North over which he has influence, like Widow's Watch, Oldcastle, Ramsgate etc. Then we are talking upwards of 10,000.EDITThe above is an absolute minimum estimate. It could well be as much as 50% higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Holy Goat Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Depends, Do you mean only House Manderly, or by taking into account the houses he influences (probably including House Flint, House Hornwood, House Locke, House Woolfield andothers) as well.By himself: 3,500 - 4,000 men I would guess.With other houses: 7,000 - 8,000 men would be my initial guess, but the number is probably larger.

Michael Herman Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 We don't know the population for white harbour, but we know that it is the smallest city in westeros. However it is the largest settlement in the north, and should be able to field the 1,500 men Manderly sent south initially on it's own. Side note, most medieval cities had fairly large numbers of guardsmen and soldiers, the goldcloaks (2,000 policing 500,000) is actually quite small. Plus since people who live in cities aren't farmers, you can generally field a much higher percentage without famine ect. Plus Manderly mention's ruling quite a bit of land, which would be much more densely populated than most of the north, as it should be more temperate. Overall I'd say House Manderly could field at least 5,000 men, possible 7-8,000, though 10,000 seems a bit of a stretch. The only problem is training and equipping them all (though we know Wyman has been doing that for quite some time). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Hulboy Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 When manderly went too winterfell he took men with him. I know he has a small navy too.i believe he has already sent men up the weeping water..i also think Robert Glover is hiding with a force .i hope they take the dreadfort before the Bolton's know what hit them..hoping davos brings rickon back with the support from skagos. It would be my guess he has at least 5000 men close by him with at least 7500 still in white harbor or he has them reserve forces on those ships .they will take part in cutting the Bolton's off from the dreadfort.

Nic. Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 between 5000-10000 men most likely considering how many times his wealth his mentioned and the fact he's been building an army with the Glover's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
