==Quotes== [[File:Fickle Bannerman by Audrey Hotte.jpg|thumb|350px|A bannerman from [[House Fossoway of Cider Hall]] [[turncloak|turns his cloak]] after the [[lord]] he is sworn to is defeated in battle. Illustrated by Audrey Hotte © Fantasy Flight Games]] {{quote|You cannot afford to seem indecisive in front of men like [[Roose Bolton]] and [[Rickard Karstark]]. Make no mistake, Robb—these are your bannermen, not your friends.{{ref|AGOT|55}}|[[Catelyn Stark]] to [[Robb Stark]]}} {{quote|'''Catelyn''': Expect nothing of [[Walder Frey]], and you will never be surprised.<br> '''Robb''': He's [[Hoster Tully|your father's]] bannerman.<br> '''Catelyn''': Some men take their oaths more seriously than others, Robb.{{ref|AGOT|59}}|[[Catelyn Stark]] and [[Robb Stark]]}} {{quote|He had assumed the promise of ten thousand [[wildfire|jars]] was a wild boast, like that of the bannerman who vows to marshal ten thousand swords for his [[lord]] and shows up on the day of battle with a hundred and two.{{ref|ACOK|20}}|thoughts of [[Tyrion Lannister]]}} {{quote|[[Eddard Stark|My father]] once told me that some men are not worth having. A bannerman who is brutal or unjust dishonors his liege lord as well as himself.{{ref|ACOK|23}}|[[Jon Snow]] to [[Jeor Mormont]]}} {{quote|Good men and true will fight for [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]], wrongly believing him the true king. A [[northman]] might even say the same of [[Robb Stark]]. But these lords who flocked to [[Renly Baratheon|my brother's]] banners knew him for a [[usurper]]. They turned their backs on their rightful king for no better reason than dreams of power and glory, and I have marked them for what they are. Pardoned them, yes. Forgiven. But not forgotten.{{ref|ACOK|42}}|[[Stannis Baratheon]] to [[Davos Seaworth]]}} {{quote|Every [[Great Houses|great lord]] has unruly bannermen who envy him his place. [[Tywin Lannister|My father]] had the [[House Reyne|Reynes]] and [[House Tarbeck|Tarbecks]], the [[House Tyrell|Tyrells]] have the [[House Florent|Florents]], [[Hoster Tully]] had [[Walder Frey]]. Only strength keeps such men in their place. The moment they smell weakness ... during the [[Age of Heroes]], the [[House Bolton|Boltons]] used to [[flay]] the [[House Stark|Starks]] and wear their skins as cloaks.{{ref|ASOS|62}}|[[Jaime Lannister]] to [[Brienne Tarth]]}} {{quote|A son has a duty to obey his father, true, but a bannerman must obey his overlord.{{ref|AFFC|33}}|[[Emmon Frey]] to [[Jaime Lannister]]}}
