Game of Thrones season 8 episode 3: Everyone who died in the battle at Winterfell

There weren't as many key deaths as fans may have expected

Game of Thrones season eight’s big battle episode has aired. In other words, a lot of characters were just killed off.

**Spoilers for season eight, episode three ahead**

This weekend, fans got to see the episode that cast and crew have been teasing for what feels like aeons: the fight between the living and the dead.

At the end of last week’s outing, the White Walkers arrived at Winterfell ready to take down some of Westeros’s best-loved characters. Don’t forget that the HBO show has just four episodes left to go before coming to an end, so this new instalment was bound to cull a few key names.

Scroll through the below gallery to see who died in the battle at Winterfell.
