This Chapter begins with a boat ride in to Riverrun by the liberators of the castle (Stark, and company) once inside the castle Edmure greets Cat and she hears of her ailing father, and proceeds to go see him. He is near death and very weak but happy she is there with him. After Cat finds Robb in the godswoods, it becomes obvious he is his fathers son, and then they go hold a council. In this council there is much deliberation and debate over the current state of the seven kingdoms and how they should proceed. After there seems to be no good option, greyjoy proposes the they rule themselves again and make Robb the King of the North.
This chapter is not particularly important till the very end, but it is interesting the whole way through. At this point in the book the Seven Kingdoms are in turmoil and nothing is certain. This chapter is important because it has Robb go from just a leader of a rebellion to a King. I chose this chapter mainly because when I read it I couldn't contain my excitement and was probably my favorite chapter in the whole book. But also because this is the final piece moving into position to make the kingdom all out war and a real game of thrones with near every lord and man who can wield a sword involved. By making Robb a king they give credibility to there rebellion (if killing Ned wasn't enough) and makes the north put all their cards on the table and "go all in".
