When I wrote about the Little Nurse, Catelyn, The Red Wedding, etc., Robb Stark was mentioned. This article is not mentioned before, and I would like to say that Robb Stark was doomed to betrayal from the moment he put on the crown of "King of the North", because he betrayed Ed Stark in the first place.
While Robb was guarding his home in Winterfell, Caitlin kidnapped Tyrion on her way home, and Ed was imprisoned for disposing of Robert's will in King's Landing. After receiving the news, Robb summoned the Northern Ministers to go south to save his father, and at the welcome dinner, Gray Wind bit off two fingers of Big Jon, and the ministers immediately bowed to the 15-year-old Young Wolf Lord. Up to this point, Robb had done a decent job, according to Ed's teaching him: honor and loyalty, and justice.
Then, the Northern Army marched all the way south, passing through Twin River City, Robb was only the acting lord of Winterfell, the future guardian of the North. Caitlin went to negotiate, and the old Frey made a marriage contract for his daughter only to climb the strong northern guard, and did not predict that Robb would become king later.
After crossing the river, Luce Burton confronts Tywin's main force at the Green Fork River, and Robb raids James Lannister at the Whispering Forest, successfully capturing James himself. The Battle of the Whispering Forest was the first victory won by the Teen Wolf Lord, demonstrating Robb's military talent. The ensuing battle of the camp was to break the three camps that James had besieged Benliu City one by one.
Then the news of Ed's beheading at King's Landing came, and the princes of the North were agitated and proclaimed Robb the King of the North. Personally, I believe that Robb's serious mistakes in this major decision are the root cause of a series of problems that followed. A 15-year-old boy knows how to fight, but he can't refuse the sudden honor.
The main reason why Ed was killed in King's Landing was that he put "loyalty", "honor" and "justice" in the first place, and stubbornly insisted on loyalty to the Baratheon family and to his duties as the "hand of the king". Despite the opportunity and conditions, Ed never wanted to become king or make a deal with Cersei, and did not heed the advice of Blue Li or Littlefinger to take Joffrey hostage; Instead, he insisted on supporting Stannis as Robert's rightful heir.
But Robb's self-reliance as king completely upended Ed's previous insistence. As a result of his reign, the Lannisters' war against him became a "bandit"; He also lost the support of either Lenny or Stannis, especially Stannis, and mentioned Robb when he had the red-robed woman burn three blood-sucking leeches because he considered the King of the North to be a "false king". If Ed had a spirit in heaven, shouldn't he have stood up and scolded Robb, Lao Tzu's head was white.
Ever since he had worn the broken crown of the King of the North, Robb had begun to faint, taking himself as the king, and did not "listen to his mother's words", insisting on sending Theon back to the Iron Islands. After Joffrey became king, didn't he dare to talk to Cersei? When a teenager becomes a king, it seems that the first obstacle to be overcome is his mother.
Robb led his army all the way west, the Battle of Oxford, the Battle of Branding City, the Battle of Rock City, and after learning that Theon had betrayed him and killed his two brothers, a grief-stricken Robb took Miss Jenny's First Night and returned to Benliu City with the bride's family.
In the original book, when Tyrion and Kevon talk about Robb Stark, Tyrion asks: What honor does he have to renege on his oath, humiliate his vassals, and disregard the sacred marriage contract?
Kevon replied: He put the girl's honor above his own. He opened her bud and saw it higher than the sky.
Caitlin freed James in exchange for her two daughters; Karstark avenged his son by killing two Lannister captives and being "justly" beheaded by Robb; What's more, in order to prevent Gray Wind from yelling at Jenny's mother's family, Robb threw Gray Wind out of the hall and locked him in the kennel. According to the special relationship between the Stark family and the ice wolf, staying away from the gray wind doomed Robb to embark on the road of death.
