Cat rides through the rain to Edmure’s wedding venue. Along the way, she manages to offend both her brother and her son. Robb contemplates his heir, and his choice to fill the role until he has children isn’t one that Cat can get behind. We get confirmation about the fate of Balon Greyjoy. Finally, Robb unveils his plan to unseat the Iron Born from Moat Cailin.

Chapter Review:
Catelyn Stark rides with her son King Robb’s host through non-stop rain from Riverrun to the Twins, on their way to Lord Edmure’s wedding. Robb’s young queen Jeyne had trouble saying goodbye to her husband, but eventually Robb sent her back to Riverrun, where she’ll await his return. Edmure is nervous about his future bride. He can’t see any reason Lord Walder Frey would pick a beautiful daughter to marry to him. Edmure’s shallow thinking irks Cat and her retort offends him.

King Robb tells his mother that he needs to have an heir. With Bran and Rickon dead, and no children conceived between him and Jeyne, he’s considering Jon Snow. Cat points out that Jon is a brother of the Night’s Watch, so can’t hold lands or titles. Robb figures if he sends the Night’s Watch 100 men, they’ll find a way to let Jon go. After that, Robb will legitimize Jon and he’ll act as Robb heir until Robb has children. Cat can’t support the plan. Robb says it doesn’t matter, he’s the king.

Cat is present when a ship captain tells Robb and his council that Balon Greyjoy is dead and his brother Euron has assumed the Seastone Chair. Robb then tells of his plan to get past the Iron Born at Moat Cailin. He sends two of his officers to rouse the crannogmen to help his host navigate the bogs of the Neck. He will use their knowledge of the area to attack Moat Cailin from multiple sides. Robb plans to send Cat to Seaguard for safe keeping. Finally, he produces a document that his bannermen must witness that will sure-up his succession plan, should he die without children.
