Huh... Rewatched the scene from episode 5 between Sansa and Littlefinger. It was mostly her chewing him out for Ramsay's abuse. He mentions that the Blackfish's Tully forces could come in useful, but I thought they belong to the Lannisters now? Never saw him mention sending troops to fight Ramsay.

Ah nevermind, just saw the later scene where she asks Brienne to go fetch the troops. But I thought Brienne was unsuccessful in that effort?

So confused.

The Tullys and Arryns are not the same people. There are ties through marriage, yes, but they are separate houses/armies.

During episode 5, the Blackfish was in command of the Tullys, and were holding Riverun against the Lannisters and the Freys. Brienne was sent to try to get the Tullys to support the Starks, but the Blackfish wanted the Tullys to stay and defend Riverun against the Lannisters (until Edmure ****** that up).

Littlefinger has been effectively leading House Arryn in the Vale since he killed Lysa (the Starks' aunt). It was the Arryn army that he brought to the Battle of the Bastards.

It was actually pretty sneaky of Littlefinger to offer up the Tully army rather than 'his' Arryn army. When Sansa realised that they didn't have enough Northern houses to take on the Boltons, she wrote to Littlefinger to bring the Arryns into the battle.

Lol I was just just messing around mate but cheers for the genuine response all the same.


On a serious note did that Karstark dude die on screen during the battle? Obviously Umber did but I didn't notice what happened to Ramsay's other main supporting house's Lord if anything.
