How should this downfall start ? Will it be caused by the death of the Late Walder Frey, or by something else ? How and when do you think that the old weasel will finally die ? What should be the fate of the other leaders and perpetrators of the Red Wedding such as Lame Lothar, Black Walder or Walder Rivers ? How many Freys are going to die ? Will they end up losing the Twins or at least most of their powers ? Also will there be at least some mini civil war between them over who should be the new Lord of the Twins ? Who will be involved in their fall other than Lady Stoneheart and the Brotherhood Without Banners ? They will receive punishment for their part in the red wedding but the family will not disappear. Robb Stark was a complete ass and was not totally undeserving. Walder, Hosteen, Lothar, BW, and a few will die. I hope the casualty will be limited.

Since they murdered a lot of Starks, I think multiple Stark siblings will be involved in their downfall. They are probably being set up as the house that loses all its powers, along with the boltons. The only thing that could prevent another house taking over the twins is that there are too many of them. The eventual ruler could just find it easier to hand the twins to a surviving Frey who was not involved with the RW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littlefinger takes over The Riverlands and he installs Edmure at Riverrun and has The Blackfish as lord of The Twins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucia Targaryen Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Probably a combination of events - Lady Stoneheart and the BwB orchestrating a second red wedding at Devan Lannisters wedding to a Frey, an internal civil war between the rival branchs, Nymeria's pack of wolves killing some, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aejohn the Conqueroo Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I think we'll see someone (lol I only see one candidate and he's dead, but I think he'll do it anyway) stand up for the Freys or for some remaining Freys depending on how things all unfold. Wiping out an entire family isn't justice and a family as large as the Late Walder Frey's has to have a few innocents. Maybe this is a future point of contention between Jon and Arya or Jon and Stoneheart - Jon and anyone really ,the Freys have more enemies than I can count, but Jon will stand up for what he see as right regardless.

It's an entirely idiotic proposition (but from the usual people, so not surprising). However, dumping the betrothal is a fairly serious thing to do, since the feudal system is built off of personal relationships and allegiances. If you broke a lot of promises, why would anyone want to enter into an alliance with you, or if they need you to swear an oath? That being said, it probably doesn't matter to anyone besides that prick Walder Frey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moiraine Sedai Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Martin is preparing the Frey family for slaughter. I can’t say that I like it but the story seem headed in that direction for the Freys. Bloodthirsty Arya and Jon will spill a lot of Frey blood.

Kinola Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 I'm guessing that Walder Frey will be dragged away to the Wall, locked in an ice cell, and be left there to die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only for the show, in truth the Lannisters know perfectly how trustworthy and loyal the Freys truly are and despise them nearly as much as the rest of Westeros as seen with Jaime and Devan, with Jaime telling to everyone's faces that the Freys are in no way qualified to talk about loyalty for having betrayed both the Iron Throne and Robb, beside they are pretty much using the Freys as scapegoats to be the only ones blamed for the Red Wedding. And Littlefinger isn't going to continue the Lannisters and Iron Throne's policies once he has openly broken up with them after Sansa's true identity is revealed, and he could have a card to play by helping the riverlords to overthrow and take revenge on the Freys at least to try to give the impression of being on their side.

It's like your only purpose in this forum is crying about people not liking some Starks, Walder Frey son and heir died, the freys shed blood for the cause, put their bodies on the line, died, were imprisioned and some more... Without the Freys, Starks would be in a bad position from start to end, all Walder Frey got from defying the King and becoming a rebel was being spat on by Robb. Robb them plan to leave all Riverlands to be raped by the Lannister-Tyrell alliance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've read any number more of my posts, beyond this one post, you would see that I do not spend all my time talking about the lot who despise the Starks. I suggest that if you're going to try and jump on my back, that you at least do a bit of research so that you don't look like an idiot. A thread of mine is on the first page of the General Forum, after all, with eight pages and nothing to do with people who hate Starks. Besides, that was a post directed at one specific person, who is most certainly not you, and I was saying my opinion as to why breaking the betrothal would be a bad idea. I already know that the Freys shed blood for the Starks, so please stop acting like a child about some post that wasn't even directed at you.

Given that Walder and most of his descendants were never respectful of the feudal system and of their own promises and oaths, and that they only care about oaths and honor when they're the ones victim of it, and that the marriage pact was done under dishonorable circumstances and to have the Freys do what they should have done without any concession or pact with them, it's sure that not many people must have felt sorry for old Walder and his family about the broken marriage pact.

But you have to admit that some of the Starks also deserved to die. Catelyn murdered Jinglebells. Robb took Walder's help and then broke his sworn oath to the old man. Black Walder, Walder, and Lothar deserve to die though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A broken sworn oath like this is a very petty and lacking excuse for a betrayal and crime as abominable as the Red Wedding. And it's particulary hypocrital coming from Walder who has broken sworn oaths himself far more times and did far worse things than Robb and Catelyn and who shouldn't have needed a marriage deal with Robb to help his lieges of House Tully and other countrymen anyway.
