Talk:House Westerling

Why is it assumed that Raynald Westerling is dead? They specifically say in the books they didn't find his body... He apparantly got shot by two arrows then jumped into the river... Could totally still be alive or with Lady Stoneheart now... Assuming Edwyn and Walder Rivers were even telling the truth and the Frey's or Bolton's aren't keeping him hidden from the Lansters for some reason.

The conversation was:

Jamie - "Tell me, is Ser Raynald Westerling among these captives?"

Edwyn - "The knight of seashells?  You'll find that one feeding the fish at the bottom of the Green Fork."

Walder Rivers - "He was in the yard when our men came to put the direwolf down, Whalen demanded his sword and he gave it over meek enough, but when the crossbowmen began feathering the wold he seized Whalen's axe and cut the monster loose of the net they'd thrown over him.  Whalen says he took a quarrel in his shoulder and another in the guy, but still managed to reach the wallwalk and throw himself in the river"

Edwyn - "He left a trail of blood on the steps"

Jamie - Did you find his corpse afterwards?"

Edwyn - "We found a thousand corpses afterward. Once they've spent a few days in the river they all look much the same."
