Greatjon Umber (not sure how he died) and Smalljon Umber (killed by Tormund) are both dead.
Harald Karstark’s status is currently unknown, but I expect he will be executed near the beginning of the next season. Or they’ll just kill him off screen to save money. LOL!
The Blackfish is killed off screen but confirmed dead by a Lannister soldier to Jamie.
