Game Of Thrones Season 6: 17 Questions After The Brand New Trailer

7. Who Is The Flayed Man?

The Boltons are riding to war, and by the looks of things, they've met their match in the field as opposed to the simple butchery of Stannis' forces. The battle lines are drawn, and the complacent Boltons brought decorations with them in the shape of at least one fully flayed man. Oh, and they've set him on fire too. Lovely.

It's a grim scene, but we're all asking the question of who it is? Humans are a lot trickier to identify once their flesh has been peeled off and set on fire, but early thoughts include Stannis Baratheon. It would make sense. He was a truly mighty scalp for the Boltons - despite Brienne apparently landing the killer blow. If they found his corpse, using it as an intimidation device would be such a Ramsay thing to do.
