Does "blundered on" here means "kept making mistakes"
His father (=Tywin Lannister) had never been unduly swayed by sentiment. Tywin Lannister’s own father Lord Tytos had once imprisoned an unruly bannerman, Lord Tarbeck. The redoubtable Lady Tarbeck responded by capturing three Lannisters, including young Stafford, whose sister was betrothed to cousin Tywin. “Send back my lord and love, or these three shall answer for any harm that comes him,” she had written to Casterly Rock. Young Tywin suggested his father oblige by sending back Lord Tarbeck in three pieces. Lord Tytos was a gentler sort of lion, however, so Lady Tarbeck won a few more years for her muttonheaded lord, and Stafford wed and bred and blundered on till Oxcross. But Tywin Lannister endured, eternal as Casterly Rock. (Game of Thrones)
Hi.
1. Does "blundered on" here means "kept making mistakes"?
2. Does the underlined part imply Lady Tarbeck bent Stafford to her will by marrying him to someone she wanted him to marry because Stafford was her hostage, which was a blunder (=mistake)?
3. And the sentence is saying Stafford was returned home after Oxcross, or he died at Oxcross?
Thank you.
