re: Crackpot ASOIAF Theories SPOILERS

So since i finished Dance this has been bothering me. Why does Roose Bolton himself in such a shite positions at the end of the book? He surrounds himself with stark loyalist and freys in burned down castle in the beginning of the worst winter in ages. Roose does not make a misstep the whole series and then he walks himself into this, it doesn't make any sense. He has to be playing some game or have a trump card.


my answer:

To kill Ramsey. He bitches through out the series about how much of shite head bastard Ramsey is and he secretly hates him for killing every true born son. He knows he can't kill his kin so Roose allows Reek and "ayra" to escape which he knew would set off Ramsey. He is assuming Ramsey will ether be killed by the winter, or stannis, while he slips back into the clear and spills his seed into the frey wench.

Ramsey gets ambushed by stannis and is thought to have been killed. However he lives and is pissed, he hunts down his father and kills him.
