Galbart returns to Riverrun with Robb. His demeanor is cool toward Catelyn, as she had freed Ser Jaime Lannister from captivity in the castle.[16]
When news reaches Riverrun of Robett's capture at Duskendale, Galbart fears for his brother's life.[17] It is partly that fear that causes King Robb Stark to trade Martyn Lannister for Robett.[5]

With Ser Brynden Tully remaining at Riverrun as Warden of the Southern Marches, Galbart is named commander of Robb's scouts and outriders.

Galbart is ordered by Robb to go with Lord Jason Mallister and Lady Maege Mormont to Seagard and sail up the Neck to find Greywater Watch so that the crannogmen can direct Robb's army around the rear of the ancient fortress.[5]
Robb is killed in the Red Wedding.[18] Though Jason later remains at Seagard, Galbart's and Maege's whereabouts are currently unknown.
