Game Of Thrones: 10 Most Memorable Dying Words

9. Rickard Karstark

The Quote: "Kill me and be cursed! You're no king of mine!" Rickard Karstark was one of Robb Stark's chief allies in the war. He was also the first of the Northern lords to turn on the Young Wolf. After Lord Rickard's son was killed by Jaime Lannister, he sought revenge by killing two captive Lannister children in cold blood. For his crime, Robb sentenced Lord Rickard to death. Being a noble Stark, Robb allowed his former ally to speak his final words. Being a less-noble Karstark, Lord Rickard took the opportunity to let Robb know exactly how he felt about him. Despite being a child-killer and an all-around jerk, Karstark goes out like a boss. He lost his faith in the Northern cause long before he lost his head. In the end, he seemed to hate the Starks as much as the Lannisters. Who doesn't dream of telling their boss off right before they're fired? And I'm sure Lord Rickard would take solace in the fact that his execution directly lead to the fall of the King in the North.
