Surrender of the Crag

The surrender of the Crag is an event in the War of the Five Kings. 
==History==
===Prelude===
Having won victories in the Riverlands, among them the Battle of Oxcross, the taking of Ashemark and a battle at the Yellow Fork, King Robb Stark's army has established a strong foothold in the Westerlands."The Old Gods and the New""Garden of Bones""A Man Without Honor" The victory at Oxcross has left the region lightly defended.
===Surrender===
Robb leads part of his force to the Crag to negotiate the surrender of House Westerling, a proud but impoverished vassal house of House Lannister. He is accompanied by the battlefield surgeon Talisa who uses the opportunity to obtain supplies from the castle's maester.
===Aftermath===
Robb returns from the mission without incident. However, while he was away, his key prisoner Jaime was released by his mother without his consent. The betrayal, combined with the ongoing worry about his siblings captivity, causes Robb to seek solace in the arms of Talisa, flouting his vow to marry into House Frey."The Prince of Winterfell"
==In the books==
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, the Crag surrenders only after losing a battle for control of the castle.
The Crag is stormed at night. While Smalljon Umber and Black Walder Frey lead scaling parties over the walls, Robb breaks through the main gate with a ram, but is injured by an arrow wound.
Robb is wounded in the battle and he is nursed back to health by Jeyne Westerling (Talisa's book counterpart), the daughter of the Lord of the Crag. Shortly afterwards, Robb learns of the alleged deaths of his brothers at the hand of Theon Greyjoy, and in his grief he sleeps with Jeyne. Having taken Jeyne's maidenhood, Robb feels honor-bound to marry her, in spite of his betrothal to a daughter of Walder Frey.
