Synopsis

The bodies of Willem Lannister and Tion Frey are brought before Robb Stark, along with Rickard Karstark and a few of his men who had butchered the two captives. The Greatjon has Karstark in chains. Rickard wanted vengeance for the loss of his two sons, but Catelyn had released the Kingslayer. Robb sentences him to death, knowing that he must execute Karstark himself since both the Starks and Karstarks are descended from the First Men.

The Karstark men had already departed Riverrun to seek out and kill Jaime Lannister, also offering gold and the hand of Rickard's daughter in marriage to anyone who could turn the Kingslayer over to them. Edmure urges Robb to hold Lord Karstark hostage and not to let word get out to the Freys or Lannisters about the two squires' deaths. But Robb feels he has been betrayed be the murder and has no choice but to kill the man whose two sons died defending his life. Robb carries out the sentence in the godswood. That night, Jeyne comes to Catelyn for advice in comforting Robb, and the young woman promises that she will soon bear Robb's son if the gods answer her prayers.
