Trivia

This episode confirms that Ned Stark's bones were returned to Winterfell, on the order of Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish, and buried in the crypts. Littlefinger presented Catelyn Stark with Ned's bones in Game of Thrones: Garden of Bones (2012), though their subsequent fate was unknown. In Game of Thrones: Battle of the Bastards (2016) Jon orders that Rickon's corpse be buried in the crypts by Ned's bones, though it is unlikely Jon would have known they were located there, given Winterfell's occupation by Theon and later the Boltons. In the novels, the fate of Ned's bones is unknown. Lady Dustin, who resents Ned for not bringing her husband's bones, intends to feed his bones to her dogs. See more
