Game of Thrones 303AC: The Winds of Winter

In Season 6 Jon Snow, raised as the illegitimate son of Ned Stark and former Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch, defeated Ramsay Bolton at Winterfell and retook the North with the support of Sansa Stark and the Knights of the Vale. Cersei Lannister gained power in King’s Landing by destroying the Sparrows and her political rivals, but her actions led to the suicide of her son, King Tommen Baratheon, and encouraged the Reach and Dorne to side with Daenerys Targaryen.

Main Events

S6 E9 / 303AC Battle of the Bastards

Jon Snow and Lady Sansa Stark marched south from the Wall with an army consisting of allied Northerners and wildlings (Free Folk) with the intention of retaking Winterfell from Lord Ramsay Bolton, who had become Warden of the North after assassinating his father Roose. Despite including a giant, Snow’s forces—outnumbered two to one by Bolton’s—fared badly at first and had almost lost when 2,000 Knights of the Vale arrived under the commands of lords Petryr Baelish and Yohn Royce to turn the tide. Defeated, Ramsay was captured and fed to his own dogs in Winterfell, marking the end of House Bolton and the restoration of House Stark as the ruling house of the North. see external link
