Who Was Getting Married At The Red Wedding?

The Red Wedding is a massacre that occurred during the War of the Five Kings, arranged by Lord Walder Frey as revenge against King Robb Stark, ruling King in the North, for breaking his marriage pact with House Frey. The event took place at the wedding feast of Edmure Tully, Lord of Riverrun, and Roslin Frey at the Twins in 299 AC. The Red Wedding was filmed over five days in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in 2012, and was scheduled as the final sequence Madden and Fairley would film.

The event created a massive rift in Westerosi’s history as Lord Walder Frey and House Bolton were involved. The Red Wedding was inspired by historical events in Scotland during the 1400s, and while fans accused Martin of going too far with the scene, the author told Entertainment Weekly that the bloodbath was based on a real dinner that took place.

Edmure Tully, the groom who married Roslin Frey, was taken prisoner after the bedding ceremony and is still alive and still married to Edmure. Patrek Mallister survived the wedding. The episode is centered on the wedding of Edmure Tully and Roslin Frey, one of the most memorable events of the book series, commonly known as The Red Wedding.

In the aftermath of the Red Wedding, various characters from the game, including Robb Catelyn and Talisa Stark, meet Walder Frey. The Red Wedding serves as a consolation prize for Robb, who broke his word to marry one of Lord Frey’s daughters. The event serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of betrayal and the importance of honoring the promises made in life.

Who was Robb Stark supposed to marry?

Biography. Background. Roslin is the daughter of Walder Frey, Lord of the Crossing. Unlike the majority of Lord Walders brood, Roslin is quite beautiful.1.

Robb Stark undertook to marry one of Lord Freys daughters (not specifically Roslin) as a part of the pact between him and the Freys,2 but he breached the agreement by marrying Talisa Maegyr instead.3.

Game of Thrones: Season 3. Lothar Frey and Black Walder arrive at Riverrun after Robb offers to renew their alliance, but Black Walder relays that Lord Frey insists that Edmure Tully must immediately marry Roslin, having gone off long engagements after Robb reneged on his own. Edmure initially refuses (partly because he, in contrast to Robb, is not allowed to choose between Lord Freys daughters), but eventually consents after bowing to family pressure, as well as his desire to make amends for his blunder at the Battle of the Fords.4.

Edmure does not meet Roslin until she is unveiled at the wedding. Having seen Walders other daughters, Edmure was shocked and relieved to see Roslin at last. She glances at Robb, who turns to Walder, who gives him a rather sarcastic look. Roslin and Edmure get along quite well until Robb and Walder call for the bedding ceremony, when Roslin is carried off by Frey and Tully attendants to the bridal chamber.1 It is unlikely that Roslin was aware of the plans for the grislier parts of her wedding. During their wedding night, Edmure impregnates Roslin, and she later gives birth to a son – although Edmure remains a captive at the Twins.5.

Which Frey was Arya supposed to marry?

In the books. In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Arya is betrothed to Elmar Frey. The character has been renamed for the television series. Elmar is the twenty-second son of Lord Walder Frey and the fourth born to Lord Walders seventh wife, Annara Farring. Elmar is the older brother of Shirei Frey, the youngest child that Lord Walder had with Annara Farring. He is nine years old.

Elmar encounters Arya several times in Harrenhal and tries to boss her around, while mentioning proudly that he is trueborn son of lord Frey and is going to marry a princess – both of them are unaware that Arya is that princess. Arya is unimpressed and does not comply to him. After being informed that Robb breached the pact with the Freys, Elmar tells Arya whiningly that his father told him he had to marry someone else, or to become a septon. Arya has no sympathy to him.

Elmar appears briefly in the third novel, serving as the cupbearer when Roose Bolton hosts Jaime and Brienne at Harrenhal. Roose tells them that Elmar was to wed Arya Stark, but Lord Frey had no choice but to break the betrothal when Robb betrayed him.

How did blackfish survive the Red Wedding?

When they finally reach the Twins, Brynden is visibly angered when Walder lightly insults Talisa, but stays himself. During the wedding feast, he drinks heavily and brings up Roose Boltons marriage to Freys granddaughter Walda to further cement their alliance. Roose confides to Brynden and Catelyn that he actually did it since Frey promised him a dowry of silver matching Waldas weight. Brynden briefly goes outside to relieve himself, narrowly escaping the massacre that follows shortly after and claims the lives of Robb, Catelyn, Talisa and all of their Northern allies; the Blackfish either sneaked away or fought his way through the chaos to escape the Twins.8.

Roose Bolton and Walder Frey later discover that the Blackfish escaped. Though Frey is undisturbed, Roose is visibly concerned that Brynden will reach the safety of Riverrun before he is found.9.

Game of Thrones: Season 6. Petyr Baelish informs Sansa Stark that Brynden has reunited the remnants of the Tully army and successfully taken back Riverrun from House Frey, and he advises her to seek her uncle out for help retaking the North. Heeding this advice, Sansa sends Brienne of Tarth to meet with Brynden.10.

What happened to the groom after the Red Wedding?

Edmure is taken prisoner and remains a hostage of Lord Frey, who remarks to Lord Roose Bolton that Edmure spent his wedding night in a dungeon.14.

Walder plans to use Edmure as leverage against Brynden.

Edmure is still a captive at the Twins when Ser Brynden raises what remains of the Tully army and retakes Riverrun. When Walder learns of this, he summons Edmure into the main hall. The disheveled Edmure is brought up from the dungeons in chains, and Lord Walder orders Lothar Frey and Walder Rivers to use him in taking back Riverrun.15.

Why did they change Robb Stark’s wife?

Part of it was that they seemed to want Robb breaking his betrothal to be more acceptable to the audience, so they made it a love match. In the books, Robb marries Jeyne simply because its the honourable thing to do after he had sex with her. Talisa he fell in love with.

Who was Robb Stark’s wife in Red Wedding?

Queen Talisa Stark, née Maegyr, was a healer on the battlefields of the Westerlands, where she met the King in the North, Robb Stark, fell in love with him, and eventually married him. She was killed at the Red Wedding.

Biography. Background. Talisa was born in the Free City of Volantis, the oldest and largest of the Free Cities.3.

When Talisa was 12, her parents went to a wedding and left her with her younger brother. They and other children went for a swim in the River Rhoyne. While she was distracted, her brother drowned. Talisa and her friend pulled him to the shore, but he was dead. Suddenly, a slave came and pushed her away (had she reported him, it would have meant death for the slave for touching a noble), then performed CPR until her brother was revived. Talisa was so inspired by the slaves selfless act, that she decided two things: first, that when she came of age, she would not waste her years dancing with other nobles; second, she would never live in a place where slavery was legal again. To this end, she sought and obtained medical training (rather than dancing with other nobles) and relocated to Westeros, where slavery is outlawed.3.

Who survived the Red Wedding?

• The Red Wedding resulted in the shocking deaths of Robb Stark, his pregnant wife Talisa, and many Northern and Riverlander soldiers, fracturing the Stark family and allowing the Lannisters to win the war.
• Catelyn Starks fears about returning to the Twins are realized when she realizes the Freys and Boltons are plotting the massacre, and she tragically witnesses the deaths of Talisa and Robb before her own violent end.
• The survivors of the Red Wedding include Edmure Tully who becomes a captive of the Freys, Brynden Blackfish Tully who escapes, and Arya Stark who later avenges her family by poisoning all surviving male members of House Frey.

Rodd Starks demise was one of the most shocking moments in Game of Thrones but he wasnt the only one who diess at the Red Wedding. After Ned Stark is executed by Joffrey Baratheon, his eldest son, Robb Stark, calls the banners of the North and marches on the South, intent on revenge. His bannermen go further and declare Robb King in the North, and the Houses decide their fight is no longer only for revenge, but for freedom from the Seven Kingdoms as well. Despite his young age, Robb is a talented general and wins many battles, including one against Jaime Lannister, where the Kingslayer is captured.

By Game of Thrones season 3, Robb has spent over one and a half seasons below the Neck. The Kings in the War of the Five Kings have died, been beaten, or like Robb have experienced a number of setbacks. His mother releases Jaime much to his bannermens dismay, he executes the head of House Karstark for insubordination, and he dishonors the Freys by breaking his marriage pact and eloping with Talisa Maegyr. Seeing the war effort lost, the Freys and Robbs bannermen, the Boltons, throw a wedding party for Edmure Tully, and its there they exact their coup, with the grisly murders giving it the name the Red Wedding.

Why didn’t Robb marry the Frey girl?

In the book, Robb marries Jeyne for the sake of honour – he doesnt want to dishonour the girl he slept with by refusing to marry her. On the show, Robb marries Talisa just because shes hot.
