if you knew european history you'd know that flaying is actually tame to actual tortures created in the past
white people are fucked in the head.
Some things in GoT are realist.
Some oher thing aren't.
House Bolton is less realistic than dragons and white walkers.
this, white people are crazy. we need to just leave them be. Stop going to their nations it's a REALLY bad idea.
nah they're only weakness is apparently being a minority and showing up
it's hilarious how many white males get triggered and their dick shrinks when a non-white walks into a room
not to mention white women love dark men ;)
How does a house come to power? I'd guess before the seven kingdoms became official there were large "tribes" using fear flayed man would have help scare away raiders. Over time the bolton tribe became a major player and were made a house when the kingdom was formed and they just kept the symbol. Think savages becoming civilized in time.
I don't know shit about ancient lore though so I could be wrong
nigga you don't get it, white people ARE the minority man. it's a fucking trap bruh
Something like that sounds plausible to me. With Bolton, I'd imagine that their tribe was already unhinged to begin with (similarly like those cannibals beyond the wall) and just continued to refine their ways over the ages. Perhaps they even dialed it down to keep up a mask of sanity towards the surrounding houses - e.g. up until the red wedding, Roose seemed like a reasonable ally of the Starks and the North.

>DUDE LYANNA MORMONT IS SUCH A BADASS XD
But why are all these northern lords listening to the advice of a little girl?
>DUDE SHES A LORD AND SHES JUST THAT STRONG WILLED
Doesnt the fact that shes able to magically make people listen to her make all the other women in the show look weak? Also in Season 1 why does an even older Robb Stark have trouble getting lords to trust him?
>DUDE TURN YOUR BRAIN OFF
The only difference was they had the ability to record what they did unlike the savages.
thats really tame compared to the dozens of different "slowly eaten by insects" torture methods known in other cultures.
yeah, the inquisition never managed to beat that:
>ok but why tho?
To extract information from their POW's? I thought it was pretty clear...
>someone enters the room with skin darker than it is possible from getting it by tan
>suddenly it smells bad in the whole room and everyoen is uncomfortable
shiiieeet them white boys be jealous and dem white chicks be horny
the origins of their sigil are very old - as far as we know they hadnt really skinned people for generations it was really just ramsay that became obsessed with it
That's nothing compared to what the Assyrians did.
If they weren't real i would call bullshit too.
>autistic AND wrong
BRAVO user
This. According to the books they had to abandon that practice long ago. But there were always rumors about hidden torture rooms in the dreadfort.
>a man has secrets, a flayed man has none
- Roose
cmon guys, are you even trying?
Kek, way to show your stupidity with pride. The true symbol of an idiot.

It isn't really that different from using a skull really.

>DUDE HE IMPALES HIS ENEMIES ON GIANT SPIKES
ok but why tho?
>DUDE BECAUSE HE IS EVIL LMAO SO WICKED XD
why is he so evil? isnt it kinda stupid to impale so many people youre called the Impaler? no one in history would ever do that
Unironically my worst nightmare
>no house in history would ever do that
It's not like some lands had decapitated moors as their symbols.
The article doesnt say anything about the inquisition you fag
>no house in history would ever do that
You got no idea...
...
Uh, this is kinda racist
DELETE THIS
somewhat relevant
Swedish?
Dumbass, the nords in westeros are pretty much savage warmongers, house Stark being the only exception because Eddard was raised by Jon Arryn and his crazy sense of honor and duty. House Bolton was no different than the other nord houses and to make their enemies in the north fear them, they publicly accepted their reputation as tortures and made it their banner.
They went as far as flaying a Stark and making a coat or a cape or something with his skin, but edgy shit like this is seen everywhere in GoT AND real life. Also only guy who is really evil there is Ramsay.
German.

>It entailed trapping the victim inside two boats, feeding and covering them with milk and honey, and allowing them to fester and be devoured by vermin.
>inside two boats
How does that work? Were they split in half? If so that kinda defeats the point of torturing them to death.
Boltons were actually ancient rivals to the Starks.
fucking retard
...
Did he put impaled people on his coat of arms?
Stop being tsundere Matt and answer the question.
Apparently something like this
kek
I leked that one when they took two brothers, cut their tendonds and send them in a boat down the river.
>Responding seriously to b8
The Visconti coat of arms has a basilisk eating a child on it.
>all this aggradizement
>becomes extinct due to BBC
lel
It's because Roose Bolton is actually an ancient half human half white walker monstrosity that wears the skin of his descendants and he's the only lord the Boltons ever had.
Like rape, skinning strikes fear to the enemy.
>historically ignorant person "muh white people so fucked up lmao"
please nigger

I agree my fellow non-white. Whites are fucked in the head, we should mess with them, ah hell naw.
Basketball, watermelon, KFC, haha all good stuff. Cheers mate

The theory I heard is the Boltons used to be the rivals of house Stark for thousands of years. In the past the Starks were more proficient at warging, so the Boltons took on skinning as a kind of counter to it (the same way you'd skin an animal you killed, you'd skin the Stark you killed).

yikes
>He thinks this was at all common
These elaborate or super terrible tortures/executions were reserved for especially terrible crimes or to make an example. A common soldier or peasant is never going to be subjected to that. Flaying alive and burning alive are just about the worst kinds of death a common soldier could experience. Flaying more so because the nerves aren't burnt like in burning so you feel excruciating pain until you die or go unconscious.
Real life is more fucked up, you absolutely naive little shit.
Read up about Tamerlane's conquests. He makes the Boltons look like noobs in terms of cruelty and mass murder. The guy wasn't even some kind of grand visionary who wanted to create a new society. He was just a guy who raped, pillaged, and plundered his way all across the world simply because he could, and he enjoyed it. It's also why his empire fell apart as soon as he died, because he had no vision or long-term planning.
Kinda like the Boltons under Ramsay, right?
Also, flaying is still widely practiced by latin american criminal gangs today.
It's practiced to this day because it's horrific. Muh scaphism or much iron bull is terrible sounding but there's little evidence it ever actually happened. Flaying alive happened all the time.
Not very evil, but this is the crest of a city in Portugal to this day.
The thing that horrifies me about scaphism and the brazen bull is not the torturous and painful nature behind them, but the fact that someone out there actually sat down and thought to themselves, "I wonder what will happen if I cook someone alive in a bronze bull, or submerge someone in their own feces so that they get consumed by insects. That would be interesting to see."
Who, in their right mind, actually thought of this shit and actually experimented with human feces/boats/bronze bulls to see how it would inflict pain on someone else?
It's a metaphor for warging ya dunce
now the AI will know
They rapresent 4 defeated saracen kings
OP your so stuped XD
What did the assyrians do? Wikipedia just mentions they had a thing for eunichs.
Do you know how to read faggot?
