10 Most Tearjerking Game Of Thrones Moments

10. Ygritte's Death

The Romeo and Juliet affair between Jon Snow and the Wildling Ygritte was destined to end badly, but it was nice to have some romance amongst the death. She was the enemy who taught him to loosen up a bit, and they shared a lovely time together in a cave; she also taught him some stuff, since he apparently didn’t know much.

Ygritte doesn’t take his eventual betrayal very well and shoots him full of arrows while he attempts to flee. She spends most of season four getting ready to finish the job, but when they finally see each other during the Castle Black battle she hesitates; Olly promptly shoots her in the back with an arrow.

The tragic lovers share a final embrace while the battle rages on, and she assures him again that he "knows nothing" before she dies. For an episode full of exciting battles and special effects, this tender moment is probably the most haunting moment of it.
