Game of Thrones Robb Stark Edmure Tully scene
by Sshin: Robb Stark
What makes this scene so brilliant is that it highlights not just Edmure's mistake, but also Robb's shortcomings. Robb knew how to win battles and wage war, but he was too young to have any real experience commanding his men. Edmure was loyal, brave, and noble. If he had known the plan, he would have done his best to carry it out. #RobbStark #GameOfThrones

We need our men more than Tywin needs his! I'm sorry. I didn't know. You would have. Right here today at this gathering if you had been patient. They seem to be running short of patience here.
