As a wise man named Bronn once said, “there’s no cure for being a c***.” And while Bronn’s insult was about Game of Thrones‘ previous monster King Joffrey, the bastard of the Dreadfort, Ramsay Bolton has taken his place as the most despicable character on the series. On last Sunday’s episode, Ramsay was in rare form.
Following the escape of Ramsay’s unwilling bride, Sansa Stark, Ramsay was given custody of her younger brother, Rickon and his caretaker, Osha. Ramsay subsequently murdered Osha and sent a threatening letter to Sansa’s half-brother, Jon Snow that reads like bad poetry. That message has now been dubbed “The Bastard’s Letter,” and HBO has released a photo of the complete letter which you can see below. Click on the image to see it in full size!

As you can see, Ramsay’s penmanship is not as sharp as his teeth. If you can’t make out everything that he wrote, here is the complete text again:
To the Traitor and Bastard Jon Snow
You allowed thousands of wildlings
past the wall.
You have betrayed your own kind
you have betrayed the North
Winterfell is mine Bastard
Come and see
Your brother Rickon is in my dungeon
His direwolf’s skin is on my floor
Come and see
I want my bride back. Send her to me
And I will not trouble you or your wildling lovers
Keep her from me
And I will ride north and slaughter
Every Wildling man woman and babe
living under your protection
You will watch
as I skin them living
You will watch
as my soldiers take turns
raping your sister
You will watch
as my dogs devour
your wild little brother
Then
I will spoon your eyes from their sockets
and let my dogs do the rest
Come and see
Ramsay Bolton
Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North
Of course, the joke is on Ramsay. Jon Snow and Sansa Stark would have left Castle Black without knowledge of their younger brother’s whereabouts without this letter. Now, they have even more motivation to raise an army and kill the bastard.
We can probably expect to see further developments in this Sunday’s episode of Game of Thrones.
