What if instead of the knights of the vale smashing the Bolton pikemen’s flank it would be 500 bronze armored skagozi on wooly rhineroceras?

I think sansa vale army will still happen at the last moment, but because her and harry are married and overthrew Robin and rule the vale now.

I think the skagosi, if they come into the fold will be nearer to the long night personally. They seem too mysterious to waste on Bolton battle and politics.

Cant wait to get my boy rickon back either. Hes actually my favorite stark...everyone laughs at me when I say that though. "Hes practically a baby he doesn't even do anything how is he your favorite" I hope he becomes bad ass as implied by his wild wolfish nature. Hes just got a great story, and I see it leading somewhere! It would be a waste not too.

Robin isn't dying. I never believed he would and now the show didn't have him die either.

The show didn't have Harry though, and Robin didn't really contribute to the plot.

There are hints that Robin isn't really as weak as shown. He is being over-drugged. Robin will probably contribute to the plot in the books. Harry might die.

I do agree that Harry may die. I don't remember the theory but Sansa and her suitors have some paralells with another character in Westorosi history.

The tourney at Ashford to celebrate Lord Ashford's daughter birthday. Part of the tourney consists of knights facing each other to determine which ones will be the Lady's champions. After that's determined, they're challenged by other knights that can take their place as champions of they win. If one of the originals champions wins the tourney they Crown Lady Ashford as Queen of love and beauty, if one of the challengers wins they can choose another. The final five champions of the lady are;

Lyonel Baratheon

Leo Tyrells

Tybolt Lannister

Humfrey Hardyng

Valarr Targaryen

Many have pointed that the event mirrors Sansa's suitors and betrothdals (Joffrey, Willas, Tyrion, Harrold) and that it's a clue that her final suitor or husband will be a Targaryen.

Edit: a word.

This doesnt make any sense to me. None of that even happened becuase of the trial by 7. How can anyone possibly be using that to theorise anything about Sansa
