Sleipnir1102 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I was reading ADwD recently and I didn't understand this part from The Prince of Winterfell chapter.."By that time, the rest of Bolton's army had arrived. They raised King Tommen's stag and lion above the walls of Winterfell as the wind came howling from the north, and below it the flayed man of the Dreadfort.Why were the Boltons putting the king's banner on the walls of Winterfell. It's lawfully their castle now so why? As a final insult to the Starks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valyrian Blade Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 As a sign of fealty probably. They were made wardens of the north by the crown after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhaenys_Targaryen Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 You raise your overlords banner as a sign of loyalty.. and in this case, most likely also to remind every lord in the north who might have entertained thoughts about rebelling, that the Boltons have powerful friends in the Lannisters and the IT.

This ↑ :) They wanted to show all northern lords that they have powerful ( not so much as they think) allies - Lannisters and the Crown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
