Also joining the trip southward were Sasha, and Mellina Tarly alongside Sasha`s bethrothed husband Varus Bright of whom was heading south where the marriage would be had in Riverrun.

Their trip south would happen a few days after Euron Greyjoy had gained the leadership of the Iron Islands, and following this he put the word out for the Ironborn to reave and pillage all across western Westros and specifically the Riverlands. As the Ironborn assailed the coastline of the Riverlands it was Catelyn and Brandon`s ship which would be boarded by an Ironborn ship during the night. The Ironborn immediatly came on board the boat and fighting broke out between the half asleep defenders and the fully ready Ironborn. During the fighting Brandon`s son was killed and thrown overboard alongside his pregnant wife while Brandon had his hand chopped off and taken prisoner alongside Catelyn. Finding others beneath deck hiding the Ironborn would also take several others including Sasha, and Mellina Tarly while Varus Bright was killed trying to defend the lower cabin from the Ironborn. Following their capture they were taken on the Ironborn ship where they eventually arrived at Pyke days later, and it wasn`t until the raven arrived in Riverrun proclaiming their capture that anyone knew what had transpired.
