You’ve probably answered this a million times before, but is House Bolton stronger than House Manderly (in terms of resources, money, levies)? Thanks

If we’re talking about just the Houses, not the Boltons and the Freys and Roose’s uncertain allies…House Manderly is significantly stronger than House Bolton in the Year 298 AC. 

And as I’ll argue in my upcoming bonus essays, this is deliberate on the part of House Stark, which has pursued a policy of containment vs. the Boltons for thousands of years. Hence the close relationship with the Umbers, hence the creation of the Karstarks and the Greystarks, hence the Wolf’s Den, hence the Manderlys and White Harbor.
