Game of Thrones includes a big ensemble cast and covers various story arcs throughout the program, which is set on the mythical continents of Westeros and Essos.

What did Catelyn Stark find under Roose Bolton’s dress during a red wedding in ‘Game of Thrones’?

She saw chain mail under Roose Bolton’s sleeve. She knew something was amiss because she was at a wedding, and weddings don’t usually require chain mail (unless you’re Dothraki).

One of Westeros’ most treasured traditions is “Guest Right,” a holy code that protects both hosts and visitors from animosity when staying at another’s castle or residence. Even the most loathed of foes are forbidden from attacking each other under this commandment. The legislation applies equally to host and guest and is based on the honor system – anyone who violates the right is very certain to be executed by other Houses because no one can trust a House that violates the right.

Given the circumstances, Catelyn was already skeptical of the invitation. Her son Robb had clearly broken his earlier agreement with Walder Frey, yet Frey nonetheless extended an invitation to his daughter’s wedding. In episode S03E07 “The Bear and the Maiden Fair,” she reminded Robb of this truth, but Robb accepted since he felt Frey would never defy the law of Guest Rights, especially for one “minor” broken pledge.
