Cause Of Death: Mortally wounded by Bolton archers, then shot in the eye by Ramsay.

Battle of the Bastards was a great episode, with the actual battle providing some high watermarks for the series' action scenes. Right at the very heart of it, standing taller than anyone as one of the MVPs, was Wun Weg Wun Dar Wun.

Without him the battle would've been lost before the Knights of the Vale swooped in, and he played his part to the very end, smashing down the gates of Winterfell. That was tragically his downfall, as he was besieged by arrows, so many that not even a giant could survive. As he was ultimately felled, and Ramsay dealt that last cruel blow, it was an unexpectedly emotional moment; the saddest death of this particular episode, and one of the saddest of the whole of Season 6.

Some heroes hold the door, others break them down.
