“You’ve known him for the space of a single conversation, you and your trusted advisors, and you sit around making your plans on how to defeat a man you don’t know? I lived with him. I know the way his mind works, I know how he likes to hurt people. Did it ever once occur to you that I might have some insight?“ - Sansa Stark.

“The Boltons have always been as cruel as they are cunning, but this one seems a beast in human skin.”

The enmity between the STARKS and BOLTONS went back to the Long Night itself, it is claimed. The wars between these two ancient families were legion, and not all ended in victory for House Stark. King Royce Bolton, Second of His Name, is said to have taken and burned Winterfell itself; his namesake and descendant Royce IV (remembered by history as Royce Redarm, for his habit of plunging his arm into the bellies of captive foes to pull out their entrails with his bare hand) did the same three centuries later. Other Red Kings were reputed to wear cloaks made from the skins of Stark princes they had captured and flayed.

“His lordship was not a bastard anymore. Bolton, not Snow. The boy king on the Iron Throne had made Lord Ramsay legitimate, giving him the right to use his lord father's name. Calling him Snow reminded him of his bastardy and sent him into a black rage.”
