Catelyn may have been born a Tully but after marrying Ned she adopted the age-old traditions of the Stark family.

In doing so it seems that she also adopted the legendary poor decision making. Acting as the devil on her husband's shoulder, Catelyn acts rashly and impulsively following the attempted assassination of her son. The knife that was used to attack Bran was traced back to Tyrion Lannister after he won it from Petyr Baelish.

Catelyn jumps to the wrongful conclusion that Tyrion must have planned the attack despite no evidence or even motive. On the contrary, the Imp was the only Lannister to attempt to befriend the little Lord after he became crippled. Despite her husband and her two daughters still being in the capital of King's Landing, Catelyn decides to apprehend Tyrion and escort him to be executed at the Eyrie.

This brashness becomes the catalyst that would consume all of Westeros in war, leading to many heartbreaking deaths.
