Many years later, minstrels would sing of the great love between the Young Wolf and his bastard brother.

They would tell of how Jon Snow broke his vows to the Night's Watch to go to his brother. They would tell of how Robb Stark, without hesitation, refused to execute him for oathbreaking. They would sing of the Battle of the Whispering Wood, where Jon Snow captured the Kingslayer. They would speak of the way Jon Snow and Robb Stark's wolves would shadow their every step, guarding their masters and striking fear into the hearts of their enemies.

They would also tell of how the Young Wolf's mother hated Jon Snow with all she had. How she dared suggest Robb execute his brother, and the rift those words struck between mother and son forever.

The Young Wolf and the Bastard of Winterfell had a strong, fierce bond. Jon Snow defended Robb Stark with his life, and Robb Stark refused to hear anyone speak against Jon Snow.

But most of all, the singers would tell of how they died.

During the atrocity known as the Red Wedding, Jon Snow threw himself in front of his brother, but it was in vain. Arrows and daggers, cold blades of treachery, ended their lives. Jon Snow fought to the last moment for Robb Stark, refusing to fall, refusing to close his eyes, but Robb's eyes closed anyway, and finally Jon Snow's did as well.

The Stark brothers lived together, played together, fought together, and, ultimately, they died together.
