Am pretty sure that was Jon doing Mance a favor for someone he likes and respects, who was merciful to him when he didn't have to be.

No doubt that Ned Stark would have been taking Mance Rayder to the chopping block.

Robb, too.

Hmmm. One of these men is still alive... surely it's just a coincidence that Starks who learn to sometimes place practicality above honor and always doing the right thing live while Starks who don't, die...
