mystickristoff Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 It was the Lannisters that were behind it anyways and Petyr is in good terms with the Lannisters. He loves Catelyn. He could have found a way to have the soldiers spare her or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Greg of House House Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 He didn't know it would happen. At least there's nothing pointing to that. Tywin kept it a secret, there was a moment when Tyrion complained Tywin didn't tell him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbySmythe Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 If I recall correctly, Catelyn wasn't meant to die. She was meant to be held a hostage I think. I could be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor227 Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 If I recall correctly, Catelyn wasn't meant to die. She was meant to be held a hostage I think. I could be wrong though. Tywin mentions she wasn't supposed to die. She was originally supposed to be another hostage. It's tough to control yourself during a murder-orgy however, and when Catelyn killed Jinglebells, well, blood demanded blood. Really though, she was kind of superfluous when they had Edmure, but you can't have too many hostages, especially female ones, who are generally considered easier to take/hold, and she represented another step in the claim ladder between the Blackfish and Riverrun, not to mention being Robb's mother, which I suppose gives her some small value in the North sentimentally.

Cladinator Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I don't think Littlefinger had anything to do with the Red Wedding. He likely knew nothing of it. And I'm pretty sure the ruthlessness of Tywin's character would have meant for Catelyn to die. Eliminating the competition of rival houses is something he has experience with. It's an effective strategy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordStoneheart Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Because he wanted her to die for rejecting him, and already had his disgusting eyes set on Sansa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Lannister Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Unless bribery was one of Walder Frey's motivations there's no reason for the Master of Coin to know anything about the Red Wedding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanF Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 LF had nothing to do with the Red Wedding. Had he been involved, he'd probably have wanted her kept alive, and wed her by force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice Turtle Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Because he wanted her to die for rejecting him, and already had his disgusting eyes set on Sansa. This. There is a note that Littlefinger offered to marry Sansa before her marriage to Tyrion while Cat still lived. No matter what he tells Sansa he never forgave Cat for rejecting him. He want all who humiliated him humiliated and destroyed. Starks, Tullys and Arrys are leading the list and so far he is doing well. EDIT: Though I also agree that he likely did not know about the RW.

Nerevanin Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I don't think that Petyr knew about the Red Wedding. Tywin surely wasn't chatting about it with everyone how he happened to meet considering that even Tyrion didn't know about it. And Tywin definitely wouldn't tell it to Littlefinger because his affection for Catelyn was known and Tywin would risk that LF might do something to thwart the plan. LF wasn't even in King's Landing around that time, was he? And I don't think that Catelyn was supposed to die anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuteman Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Catelyn wasn't supposed to die. She was supposed to be taken hostage but they killed her when she went mad and tore her face off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BalerionTheCat Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 IIRC, Littlefinger was already lord of Harrendal and lord paramount for the Freys. He could have some implication in the RW. And I don't see why they would specifically to keep Cat, if it was not for LF own usage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Make Shadowbabies Not War Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I'm not sure if Petyr knew, but I don't think Cat was meant to die. It was only after she killed Jinglebell that they murdered her too, rather than taking her hostage. After all, if she was an original target, she'd have been one of the first taken down rather than being almost ignored until the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNorthRemember Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Little could plot the Purple Wedding Jofrie upon learning of the death of Cat ?? When Sansa asks that you betray the lannister maybe that's the answer: revenge for Cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordStoneheart Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Catelyn wasn't killed because she killed Jinglebell. She was killed because she was clearly losing her mind and they figured it a mercy. Greatjon also killed a man but is still a hostage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewJeffCT Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 If I recall correctly, Catelyn wasn't meant to die. She was meant to be held a hostage I think. I could be wrong though. I'm almost positive you are correct - but, in their frenzied bloodlust, once Cat killed Jinglebells, she got killed as a reaction to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winterfell is Burning Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Because he doesn't have superpowers despite what his fanboys in the fandom think. Yep. The idea that LF was behind or knew about the RW is pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Wraith Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Fairly certain Tywin had no reason to tell Littlefinger about it. Why would he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
