"A Man Without Honor" is the seventh episode of the second season of HBO's medieval fantasy television series Game of Thrones. The 17th episode overall, "A Man Without Honor" was written by series co-creators David Benioff and D. B. Weiss, and directed by David Nutter.[2] It first aired on HBO on May 13, 2012.

In the episode, Tywin Lannister investigates a suspicious murder at Harrenhal; Jon Snow searches for his companions beyond the Wall with his prisoner, Ygritte; Osha and Hodor help Bran and Rickon Stark escape Winterfell as Theon Greyjoy pursues them; Daenerys Targaryen searches for her stolen dragons in Qarth; and Jaime Lannister attempts to escape captivity. The name of the episode comes from Catelyn Stark's assessment of Jaime as being "a man without honor," after he kills a member of his own family to attempt escape. The episode received positive reviews from critics, who praised the performances and the scenes with Jon Snow and Ygritte.
