Catelyn Stark met a tragic fate inGame of Thronesafter she was killed during the infamous Red Wedding scene, but unlike in the series where she was permanently silenced, George R.R. Martin found a way to revive her in the books.
The author previously revealed that the famed matriarch continues to be part of the story and that we’ll meet her again inThe Winds of Winter, so we are hoping that he will address one of the most controversial decisions that she made when she was still human.
How Catelyn Stark betrayed Robb Stark inGame of Thrones
House Stark is known for their stoicism and unwavering loyalty, but there’s one scene involvingMichelle Fairley’s Catelyn Stark inGame of ThronesSeason 2 that might have contradicted these traits.

In the episodeThe Prince of Winterfell,Richard Madden’s Robb Stark learned that his mother freed Jaime Lannister without his knowledge. After believing her sons Bran and Rickon to be dead, Catelyn releases their key prisoner in hopes that the Lannisters will free her daughters Sansa and Arya.
Of course, the Young Wolf was enraged by his mother’s betrayal. He has faced treachery from several people he trusted, and his mother would be the last person he wanted to backstab him. A fan onRedditpointed out how many still believe Robb was just unfortunate with everything that happened in his life, when the truth is, no one was completely loyal to him.
Catelyn might have had a purpose in freeing Jaime, but her action showed that she didn’t trust her son’s judgment and perhaps subsequently ruined his plan of using the Lannister prisoner in ways that could be advantageous to the Northern cause.
Catelyn Stark still exists in George R.R. Martin’s books as Lady Stoneheart
George R.R. MartintoldEsquire China(viaForbes) that he still writes about Lady Stoneheart, formerly Catelyn Stark, inThe Winds of Winter. After she was revived by Lord Beric Dondarrion,she turned into a cold-blooded villainconsumed with a desire to exact revenge on anyone who had betrayed her and her son.
After Catelyn is resurrected as Lady Stoneheart, she becomes a vengeful, heartless killer. In the sixth book, I still continue to write her. She is an important character in the set of books.
This could be the matriarch’s chance to make up for her betrayal of Robb. Now that she has become the leader of the Brotherhood Without Banners, she commands a group of outlaws who use different tactics to kill the Freys, Lannisters, and Boltons.

So far, there haven’t been any positive updates on the progress ofThe Winds of Winter. Fans can only wait for Martin’s future announcements, and we’re hoping it won’t be long since he has been taking his sweet time with the book for more than a decade now.
Game of Thronesis currently available to watch on HBO.
