Biography
Season 2
After the Lannister defeat at the Battle of Oxcross, King Joffrey Baratheon torments Sansa Stark before the royal court; Ser Lancel Lannister reports that Robb Stark employed sorcery and wolves to massacre the Lannister army and that after the battle, the Northmen feasted on the flesh of the slain.[2]
In the books
In the books, Ser Stafford Lannister's backstory and fate are the same. Like his sister Joanna, he is a member of a cadet branch of House Lannister that rules Lannisport for the main branch led by Tywin. Stafford dies in the Battle of Oxcross, killed by Lord Rickard Karstark. Both Jaime Lannister and Brynden Tully consider him a poor commander.
