Right. If we look at the history of, say, the North’s war with the Vale over the Sisters, seems like the Boltons were to the Kings of Winter what Gregor Clegane was to Tywin – an attack dog who scares the living hell out of the enemy,.
In response to Bolton thread: And you have to remember the Boltons have proven to be competent generals for Northern causes in previous skirmishes, like the Andal invasion and the conquest of the Sisters, so there have been genuinely loyal Lords Bolton, making obliterating the house seem overly harsh. There are ambitious lords and loyal lords, and usually both. Roose served Ned, and if Robb had been older might’ve done the same, but Roose has shown a contempt for young lords.
