Game Of Thrones: 10 Evil Acts Committed By Starks

10. Robb Stark Sent 2,000 Men To Die

In order to win a crucial victory against the Lannisters, Robb Stark made the decision to sacrifice 2,000 loyal bannermen.

After gaining safe passage through the Twins from Walder Frey, Robb begins laying plans on how best to invade the south. Knowing full well that a direct confrontation with the legendary Tywin Lannister would prove futile, Robb instead chooses to direct his forces at Jaime. While Tywin protected the Kingsroad from northern attacks, his son was sent to pillage the Riverlands.

In order to not gain suspicion, 2,000 men were chosen to march against a 30,000 strong defense. The Northmen didn't stand a chance and Robb Stark knew that. In what was to be known as the Battle of the Green Fork, leaving the northern forces decimated.

Instead, Jaime was captured alive during the Battle in the Whispering Wood. After the battle, Robb does show some remorse of what he had done but Catelyn reassures him that he did the right thing.
