Game Of Thrones: Ranking EVERY Major Death Worst To Best

28. Roose Bolton

Game Of Thrones Ned Stark
HBO

Death: Killed by his son, Ramsay Bolton, who killed Roose's wife and newborn son immediately afterwards in order to take control of Winterfell.

Balon wasn't the only awful father to go down in episode two of season six. Roose Bolton, a dreadful man (though brilliantly played by Michael McElhatton) died too and this worked pretty well overall.

It felt like the right time for him to go and the way he died felt logical, while it moved Ramsay's story along in a good way. That being said, did we really need to see that scene immediately afterwards where Ramsay fed his newborn brother to the hounds?
