Tywin Manderly Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 What do you think that Lady Catelyn would have done with Jon in the event that Ned had died when Jon was an infant/toddler/young child? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N/A Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 sent him to be fostered by a bannerman, umbers maybe or tallhearts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daena the Defiant Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 What do you think that Lady Catelyn would have done with Jon in the event that Ned had died when Jon was an infant/toddler/young child? Believing him to be the bastard son of her late husband, she probably would have arranged to have him fostered out at some friendly house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

butterbumps! Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 She'd have given him a head start in the Wolfswood, and if he gave her good sport, she'd have killed him before she practiced her flaying skills. (though, given how much she hates him, it might have been the other way around). That, or sent him to the Cerwyns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slender Aimry Hill Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Fostered him to Roose Bolton, the man she trusts for dirty work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Weirwoods Eyes Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 No doubt he'd have been fostered out my guess one of the Northern houses or perhaps the Royce's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some months prior to that, she'd have confined him in a dungeon under Winterfelll, giving him just enough food to subsist on, and forbidding him to wash. Occasionally, he'd be allowed out, and chained to the wall of the Great Hall, at banquets, and thrown the occasional scrap. If he offended her, she'd flay off the skin of a finger or toe, or "that other thing" until he begged her to cut it off. After all, she hated him.

Yes, and would have had him tend to the cinders while the trueborns got to go to the ball with the prince. But on another note, I wonder if she'd have made contact with the Daynes. She'd thought Ashara was his mother, and I wonder if she'd have done some searching to figure this out, starting with Dornish contacts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she didn't, I imagine she'd just foster him with one of the Stark Bannermen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalalOfDorne Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Probably foster him somewhere else. She'd have given him a head start in the Wolfswood, and if he gave her good sport, she'd have killed him before she practiced her flaying skills. (though, given how much she hates him, it might have been the other way around). That, or sent him to the Cerwyns. Please, I wouldnt be surprised if sending him to the Cerwyns is suddenly seen as torment and abuse. Why? Because Cat did it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanF Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 This will appear in TWOW:- "The worst times were when Lord Stark was absent from Winterfell. Lady Catelyn would confine him to the dungeons beneath the castle for weeks on end, giving him just enough bread and water to subsist on. Once, in an extremity of hunger, he had caught and eaten a rat. "Bastard" she had sneered at him, "the rats of Winterfell belong to my lord husband. Did he give you permission to eat one?" She had taken the skin off one toe for that insolence." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Monkey Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 She was betrothed to Brandon, but when Brandon died she married Ned. When Ned dies, logic dictates that she should marry Jon next, Ned's only eligible male relative who isn't one of her own children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wolves Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 These never end good, even though I don't like Catelyn she's never given the credit she deserved and made out to be a villain. But I think Ned would have told her about Job and she would have fostered him somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter's Knight Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 How young? A fat toddler'd make a lovely pie. Maybe she could initiate a bastard eating tradition-it'd help reduce cruelty to bastards and keep people fed during the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She'd keep him tied to a cross for days on end, and flay toes and fingers, whip him, and crush his foot in a press, until he answered to the name of Reek.

Dave17 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 If I'm right and Benjen knows who his parents are he would have said so to Cat at Ned's funeral. Or if he didnt trust Cat, he would have arranged a suitable foster house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the while baby Sansa is chirping about how he needs to remember his name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
