Sadistic and evil is not automatically Chaotic Evil. Also it's not the entire House Bolton that is sadistic. Sure, the amoral and ruthless traditions of the lords of Boltons and the Red Kings draw many horrible and cruel men-at-arms, but there's also a lot of normal and dutiful soldiers. It's not the Boltons who are Chaotic Evil, that's Ramsay and some cruel people like Locke. Roose disapprove chaos and believe in keeping order with fear, like previous Bolton did, those deceased members whp are rulers who just mercilessly punished their enemies. Their rebellions against the Starks were not caused by a desire to cause destruction in the north. Since the Long Night the Boltons and the Starks fought each others often, for unknown reason. Still later some Boltons lived and died without ever betraying the Starks. So the character alignment doesn't belong to a group with different people....there are chaotic Boltons as there are lawfuls and neutrals too.
