the funny thing is however when Roose says the Boltons were the second most powerful house in the north, it's complete pig shit as they had the least resources compared to the Karstarks, Umbers and Manderlys when they were their own kings and when they were vassals of house Stark, that's the reason they wanted to claim the hornwood lands to give them enough resources to compare with the others.
They sure were well recognized and feared despite having only two members in the family and one of them being a psychopath, that's pretty impressive actually.
Right, but the way Roose Bolton described how the world around him worked (Lannisters swindling rightful land owners of their lands, Starks beheading people as a means of execution) made house bolton's traditions seem necessary. Cruel, no doubt about it, but necessary.
the execution, hammering only last for mere seconds though, swindling doesn't kill you, but flaying can last for hours if not days at time with the person still alive through it all.
Swindling doesn't kill you? lol tell that to the casterlys. beheading and hammering made those proud houses feared and respected in their feudal times, the boltons obviously needed to beat their competition somehow in order to be heard and acknowledged, and since they couldn't do that through resources as you've mentioned months ago, they had to up their game in the fear factor AKA flaying.
oh shit, this is so good
beginning and the end - roose's monologue is incredible!! And this song fits completly, love it

they have a bad reputation because they flayed people alive which is quite uncommon for executions and were known as the red kings for a reason
