While the brotherhood without banners stay in Stoney Sept, the Mad Huntsman arrives with the captive Sandor Clegane.
Synopsis
Harwin tells Arya about the Battle of the Bells, in which her father defeated Lord Connington, Aerys II Targaryen's Hand, in a fierce battle fought in the streets of Stoney Sept. Robert Baratheon was injured and hiding in the town when the Hand's army invaded the town. Many credit Robert with the victory, but the king always said that Eddard had won that battle.
Arya is disturbed to find northmen being starved in cages, and gives one of them water. Possibly Karstarks as they were searching for Ser Jaime Lannister, they were captured by the Mad Huntsman. The northmen are guilty of rape and pillaging, and Anguy puts the survivors out of their misery.
The brotherhood without banners spend the night at the Peach, a brothel. Gendry is propositioned by Bella, who claims to be a daughter of the late King Robert, but Gendry refuses. When an old man makes an advance toward Arya, Gendry claims to be her sister and warns the man away. During the night, they hear a commotion, and watch as the Mad Huntsman brings someone as a prisoner into the town in chains. Arya recognizes the captive.
