Angel Eyes Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 So in ASOIAF, we hear two different assessments of Crakehall women. Walder Frey says in AGOT, Catelyn IX that Quote All the Crakehall women are sluts. While on the other hand Catelyn says that Crakehall women are robust and good for childbearing. Is Catelyn unaware of the Crakehall reputation? Not exactly conducive for finding spouses if you're known for sleeping around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Steller Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Those two different traits aren’t mutually exclusive. Plus, can we really trust Walder Frey’s assessments of women? Though now that you mention it, it is interesting that Strongboar resembles Robert so much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure that Lyle inherited his physical appearance because the people from House Crakehall are Baratheon-like. Robert couldn't be Lyle's father, the timelines don't work at all.

Seams Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Robert may not have been the father of Strongboar, but there are links between Robert and boars. Worth keeping an eye on Strongboar. As for the Crakehall women, I think Gatehouse Amy is due to play a key role in the upcoming book. Walder's description may be apt for her, but she is a very canny player and has big ambitions.

Zared Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Don't think you can rely on what Walder says. Just because one person says something doesn't make it true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like his misogyny, womanizing, bigotry, cruelty and apathy, fickleness and whatnot? Age doesn't say what's right and whats wrong. Or else Walder Frey would be the Pope and Tywin would be the Saint head Don't forget the Red Wedding. Ancient laws or not, that was inhumane, cruel and sadistic (extremely). No BS about how Robb wronged him and shit. Nothing warrants such a punishment, and least of all a slight to protect another woman's honor (stupid Ned's honorable blood).

Cat wants an heir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
