A Feast for Crows

When Saltpans is raided by a group reportedly led by Sandor Clegane (actually Rorge wearing Sandor's signature Hound helmet), Ser Quincy order his castle gates shut and never leaves the castle to help the inhabitants of the town. Saltpans is burned and the smallfolk scatter.[2] A dying woman curses Quincy for not preventing her rape by Brave Companions and mutilation by Biter.[2]

Quotes about Quincy

Meribald: Ser Quincy is an old man. His sons and good-sons are far away or dead, his grandsons are still boys, and he has two daughters. What could he have done, one man against so many?
Elder Brother: True words, and wise. When you cross to Saltpans, no doubt Ser Quincy will ask you for forgiveness. I am glad you are here to give it. I could not.[2]

He could have tried. He could have died. Young or old, a true knight is sworn to protect those who are weaker than himself, or die in the attempt.[2]
