After the Starks the Karstarks have the strongest claim to the North (They are basically Starks too just got renamed to form a cadet branch), so it may all be just to get that in a gamble, and aren't really loyal to Boltons either.
House Karstark to lead an rebellion against the Boltons? In the books they are involved in the red wedding as well, so in a way they should … morehave as much guilt as the Boltons. That house is in the middle of a conflict after the death of Rickard Karstark, his son Harrion is imprisoned by the lannisters which leaves his very young sister in charge. Her uncle wants Karhold for himself and his son. So they'll declare their loyalty to Stannis in order to provoke the Lannisters in to executing Harrion. They are secretly in league with the Boltons so they plan on betray Stannis and claim Karhold for themselves.
The Karstarks are Starks. And I wouldn't doubt that they would betray Stannis if the North doesn't have seniority succession in which they would be the rightful rulers of the North by blood and age. The reason they are Karstarks and not Kars is because they are Starks.
