12 Things to Remember Ahead of the Game of Thrones Season 6 Premiere

Stannis prepares to march on Winterfell, but faces a slew of terrible news. His wife, Selyse, has hung herself out of grief from losing her daughter Shireen, whom Stannis burned alive as a sacrifice to the Lord of Light. Nearly half of his men have abandoned him. And Melisandre has fled. The Bolton army ambushes Stannis's tattered forces and easily emerges victorious. Brienne finds the wounded Stannis and explains she's killing him as vengeance for the death of Renly Baratheon. Stannis tells her to do her duty, and after a moment's hesitation, she swings her sword. The only thing is, we don't see where it lands.
