- "Ser Alton's pen is full, Your Grace...the prisoners from the Yellow Fork."
- ―Rickard Karstark to Robb Stark
A battle at the Yellow Fork is a minor engagement in the War of the Five Kings. The army of House Stark in the Westerlands moves west from Oxcross to attack a force of House Lannister conscripts at the Yellow Fork.
History
Prelude
After winning a trio of victories in the Riverlands and a decisive victory at the Battle of Oxcross, the army of House Stark, under the command of King Robb Stark, Lord Roose Bolton, and Lord Rickard Karstark press further into the Westerlands.[1] The victory at Oxcross has left the region lightly defended.[2]
Battle
Robb's forces assault the Lannister forces at the Yellow Fork and win another victory, taking many more prisoners.[3]
Aftermath
The Starks make camp following their victory.
Rickard Karstark reports taking so many Lannister prisoners that the Stark cells are overflowing. Talisa continues to treat Robb's wounded along with those of his enemies following the battle. Robb then visits the Crag to negotiate the surrender of House Westerling.[3]
Due to the volume of prisoners, Jaime is kept with another man - his cousin Alton Lannister - for the first time since his capture. This affords him the opportunity to make an escape attempt, murdering Alton and Torrhen Karstark. He is recaptured shortly afterwards.[3]
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, there is no battle of this name. The location "Yellow Fork" is not mentioned in the books.
After the Battle of Oxcross opened up the northern Westerlands to Robb's army, his forces easily captured Ashemark. For some reason, the TV series doesn't refer to a minor engagement at the "Battle of Ashemark", instead referring to a battle at the Yellow Fork taking place around the same point. It seems that they changed the name to avoid confusion with Ashford, which is a castle in the Reach. It's possible that the "Yellow Fork" is meant to be the tributary of the Tumblestone, which is itself a tributary of the Trident River system, with its three main forks also named after colors: Red, Blue, and Green.

Notes
- ↑ In "Winter Is Coming," which takes place in 298 AC, Sansa Stark tells Cersei Lannister that she is 13 years old and Bran Stark tells Jaime Lannister that he is 10 years old. Arya Stark was born between Sansa and Bran, making her either 11 or 12 in Season 1. The rest of the Stark children have been aged up by 2 years from their book ages, so it can be assumed that she is 11 in Season 1. Arya is 18 in Season 8 according to HBO, which means at least 7 years occur in the span of the series; therefore, each season of Game of Thrones must roughly correspond to a year in-universe, placing the events of Season 2 in 299 AC.
