The Battle of Oxcross is a battle during the War of the Five Kings. The army of King Robb Stark routs and scatters the Lannister army of Ser Stafford Lannister, who is killed.

The Stark-Tully army, made up entirely of cavalry, avoide the strong castles at the border and invade the Westerlands through a previously unknown path. Meanwhile, Lord Tywin Lannister orders his cousin Ser Stafford Lannister to raise a new army. Stafford does as commanded and trains the inexperienced recruits near the village of Oxcross, within three days’ ride from Lannisport. Thinking himself safe in his own lands, Stafford does not bother to set enough scouts. During the night Robb sends his vanguard, led by the Blackfish, to kill the few sentries before Robb attacked with the main army. The battle is more a rout then a real encounter, as the untrained and surprised Lannister army cannot put up much resistance.
Stafford is slain by Lord Rickard Karstark while running after his horse. Ser Stevron Frey, Lord Walder Frey’s eldest son and heir, suffers a minor wound during the battle, but dies shortly thereafter. Among those reported dead, missing and wounded are Ser Lymond Vikary, Lord Roland Crakehall and Lord Antario Jast – these men are actually captured by the Stark forces, along with Martyn Lannister, Lord Jast’s sons and half a hundred other highborn hostages.

  1. rob stark made alot of mistakes. being arrogant cunt he allowed his mother and self to be killed.along with his unborn child and wife. not even to mention his men and his wolf. good riddance plus all his battles was skipped to save money

  2. And on that day as he watched Talisa saw through a man's leg Robb knew he would marry her one day. That they would, walk hand in hand travel the country sawing men's legs off not as two but as one. That they would have children of their own some day, that they could teach how to saw people's legs off, "coming here little Ned, come help your mother and I saw this man's leg off" he thought, peacefully.
