Robb has defeated the Lannister army at Riverrun. Robb Catelyn and the other men have a meeting to discuss the next step on their way to Kings landing regarding the war that is taking place. they discuss how Renly has claimed his rights to the throne. The group talks as if they can decide who has more of a right to the throne; Joffrey or Renly. The Lannister army is moving once again. Catelyn announces that she wishes the war would end and all this chaos would come to an end. Then Greatjon makes the statement that Robb is named king of the north. The first kind of the north in hundreds of years. Robb is now the King of the north and has full support behind him.
This chapter stuck out to me because leadership is present throughout history. Robb was put into a hard position regarding Neds death. Robb had to step up and take control of what was asked of him at such a young age. He did so with leadership and treating others with fairness. Leadership can go in many ways and a correct leader is one who works for the people more than himself. Robb like todays great leaders did not ask for a high position he was appointed it by the people who follow his actions. A true leader is what Robb is. The other lords and the armies behind realize this and will devote their lives for someone who would do the same for his people he leads. This is why this chapter might be one of the largest turning points in the book. This creates a whole new division of armies and support. All because one person did the right thing and gave respect to those around him.
