Domeric Bolton was the only trueborn son and heir of Lord Roose Bolton and Bethany Ryswell. He died two years before the beginning of the War of the Five Kings.[1] According to Roose Bolton, Domeric was quiet but accomplished, he read history, played the harp and rode as if born on a saddle.[2]

History

Domeric served four years as a page to Barbrey Ryswell and then squired for three years in the Vale for Lord Redfort. In the Vale, Domeric had enjoyed the company of Redfort’s sons and began to consider them brothers. Lord Redfort thought the lad had the making of a tournament champion.

After returning from the Vale back to the Dreadfort, Domeric heard he had a bastard half-brother and wished to seek him out, against his father's wishes, since he had always wanted a brother of his own. Soon after the "visit", Domeric died from a sickness of the bowels, according to Maester Uthor. However, Roose believes Ramsay poisoned Domeric, in order to become Roose's only son.

Roose revealed all this to the barely sane at the time Theon Greyjoy and asked him the question:

"...if the kinslayer is accursed, what is a father to do when one son slays another?" [3]
