I don't think it is necessary to describe the process of this bloody wedding in detail. Everyone is familiar with it, and this paragraph in the TV series is also well interpreted. Let's discuss the gains and losses of Frey's family before and after the bloody wedding from the perspective of God who opens the reader's privilege.
First of all, we pick out the "good welfare" who didn't attend the bloody wedding.
The first is the 15th son of Marquis Wade, Paivan Frey. This is a Frey who likes Tully and Stark. He became a friend of Robb's uncle Edmund, and once served as Robb's guard. When Caitlin went south to negotiate with Renly, he was a member of the escort.
The second is Olifa Frey, the18th son of Marquis Wade, born in Paiwen. Since the day when Frey formed an alliance with Robb, Orfa has been Robb's attendant. He really loves Robb. After the Freys learned that Robb had broken his contract and married Jenny westling, Orfa still wanted to stay with Robb, and finally had to leave under the coercion of other Freys.
Caitlin also found that these two Freys, who had a good relationship with her, did not appear in Twin Cities. When she asked about it, the answer was that they had other important business and were out of town.
The main planners of the bloody wedding are Lord Tywin, roose bolton and the old Marquis Wade, while the details are planned by Lord Burton and the lame Rosso Frey mentioned in our last article. In contrast, the most vulnerable of the three masterminds is old Wade. Why do you say that?
The victory of Heishui River laid the foundation for Lannister to win the battle of the Five Kings. Taiwen is the actual ruler of the country, and King Joffrey is just a rubber stamp. The war has entered the later stage. What Wen Tai needs to consider is consolidating the situation and post-war reconstruction. It is necessary to unify the whole territory. Grasping Winterfell is one of them, and the marriage between Tyrion and Sansa comes from this. Rob won't die, and we will have more children in the future. Sansa's inheritance right is empty talk. If Rob is willing to bend his knees, then Tywin may consider other ways. It is not impossible to hide tenderness, but Robb is determined not to give in. -Tywin has every reason to want Robb dead.
Roose bolton never really supported Robb when he sent troops from the north. He left the elite of the Burton family in Xiao Pi. After delivering several waves of goods with Tywin, Tywin knew Burton was a big undercover. In other words, Burton opposed Stark and colluded with Tywin much earlier than Frey. He took refuge in Tywin's side with "credit". Besides, from the north, Burton is bound to win, and the whole world thinks Bran and Rickon are dead. As long as there is one male in the Starks' family, Burton's northern guardian can't sit still. Ruth Burton also has a good reason to want Robb to die.
What about Walder Frey? In the early stage, his family really tried to help Robb rebel. They all fought bravely and even sacrificed their children. Now that Robb has betrayed his engagement, Marquis Wade is angry, so he doesn't mix with him and turns to Lord Tywin's arms. What's the credit? No, not as good as Burton. Even if you are looking for a group of bandits, you must pay a warlord! Why else would Lord Tywin give you a bunch of marriages and Riverrun? How can we talk and get benefits? There's nothing the old man can do but throw caution to the wind! I don't care about the rights of guests, I have lost my eternal reputation. I will only be angry! In other words, if you bet the wrong money in the early stage of political speculation, you will always pay the price.
Let's talk about the killer.
The first place is old skinner. The skinner personally stabbed the dagger into King Robb's heart and attached jaime lannister's greetings. In the novel, it was Raymond Frey who killed Caitlin, and Caitlin had no sense of existence except this great event.
One of Robb's guards, Daisy Mormont, was killed by Lyman Frey. This Lyman is the grandson of Marquis Wade, and his father is Sir Stevenson, the twin river city heir who died for Robb in Oxford (injured and died three days later). Now Lyman is the heir to the Marquis Wade. But this man is actually a fool.
In addition, Robb (the more important person) who was killed in the chaos was Wendell, the second son of Earl Mandalay, Lucas, the second son of Earl Hollywood, Jon Amber Jr., the heir of Big Jon, and Leonard westling, the younger brother of Queen Jenny. Captured are Grand Jon, Edmund, Kyle Piper and Patrick Melister, the heirs of Haijiang City.
Leonard westling, like Jenny, doesn't know the whole plot, but their mother, Mrs Siebel, does. Jenny's love for Robb is really sincere, but it is likely that Lord Tywin designed it. It is estimated that Rob and Jenny are flirting, and Jenny's mother decided to use her daughter's feelings to fight for the interests of the family. But Mrs. Sybil was only involved in getting Rob to break off his engagement. She didn't know the detailed plan of the bloody wedding, otherwise she wouldn't let her son die. -The original agreement with Tywin also included Leonard's engagement (bride of Casterly Rock).
In addition to the above murderers, Horstin of Frey family (who later went north with Burton and took over the command of the army after the death of Inis Frey, and will fight Stannis) and Hayward (who had an affair with Lansell's wife Ali Porter) are also on the list. There is also an illegitimate child, Wade He Wen, who directed the attack on the northern military camp.
What if this wedding loses Frey's family? The team lost more than 50 people. Among the nobles and knights, a man named Ben Frey (whose name is no longer there) was injured and died in the fight. Titus Frey was hit in the head with an axe by a hunting dog. Finally, the bell of the fool whose throat was cut by Caitlin rang. There is also a knight named Gauss Cooper, the granddaughter of old Wade, who was also killed by hounds.
Burton got the position of guardian of the north and got a fake two ya. According to the timeline, the purple wedding hasn't happened yet, so Xiao Pi can't inherit Winterfell even if she marries this fake two ya. At this time, the inheritance right still belongs to Sansa, and Lord Wen Tai is still waiting for Sansa and the little devil to have children.
On Frey's side, the most attractive thing about the cake is that Lord Wen Tai still wants to give it to "one of his own", namely Wen Tai's brother-in-law, Armon Frey. This guy is the second son of Marquis Wade, married Tywin's sister Gina, has been living in Casterly Rock, and has always been afraid of his wife. He and Gina's eldest son is Sir Cleo who sent Zhan Mu and Britney Spears to King's Landing together. The Armon family has been on Lannister's side since the beginning of the war, and Riverrun is understandable to him. The significance of this incident is that they left their families and became "Frey's family in Riverrun". -similar to the original separated from stark home card stark.
In fact, Lord Wade has been worried about the future of these children and grandchildren. As early as when Caitlin came to Shuanghe to discuss an alliance with Robb, he complained a lot to Caitlin.
So Caitlin's promise to Lord Wade is also engagement and adoption. Today, Lord Wen Tai still has these contents: Ali, the notorious dissolute concierge of Frey's family (whose real name is Hariri), married Lansell, the son of Kaifeng. This Ali has the lineage of the Delhi family, and the Delhi family has lost its heir, so this will become the Lannister of Delhi City; Choose a Frey bride for Sir Dafeng Lannister, Dafeng is the son of Uncle Zhan Mu (Wen Tai's wife Joanna is also Lannister); Gillian Lannister's illegitimate daughter (Tyrion's favorite little uncle, the one who sailed and explored) was betrothed to a Frey bastard.
On the other side of westling and Spitzer's family, there was Leonard's engagement, and Castermesh gave it to Rover Spitzer (Jenny's uncle and Mrs. Sybil's brother) as a fief.
Aside from ordinary soldiers who have no names or surnames, the Freys lost an heir in the war to support Robb's rebellion, and three Freys and a granddaughter died by blood relatives, which is far from the final result.
Old Frey slaughtered a large number of northerners for Riverrun and several battles, which made almost all northerners hate them, including those who compromised with Lannister and Burton and became their allies.
The last victim of the murder in Winterfell was little Wade of Frey's family. Kiness and Horstin were so excited that Mrs. Dustin, who volunteered to be Burton's ally, relentlessly warned them: "Don't forget the North, Frey." -That speaks volumes. Amber and Mandalay had to bow their heads because each other had hostages, but the Dustin family didn't really support Robb from the beginning, just lost some men in a bloody marriage.
At the end of the fifth volume of consanguineous marriage, the Foley family can make a death list:
The highlight is the revenge of Wyman Mandalay, Earl of White Harbor.
-Weiman Mandalay.
In this paragraph, three Frejery, Saimon and the rich are mentioned. They parted ways with Lord Mandalay and left Baigang to attend Xiao Pi's wedding. The parting gift from Count Weiman means the end of the relationship between the guest and the host. After that, the three disappeared. At the wedding, Mandalay presented three huge meat pies and ate them in high spirits, and invited the singer to sing "The Mouse Chef" to entertain. -The story of Frey School comes from this. It is said that the Xiong family is loyal, and Mandalay in the original is not worse than the Xiong family.
Another large-scale revenge is the resurrected Caitlin "Mrs. Shi Xin". In the novel, Count Berry sacrificed himself to save her life, and from then on, she led the Flagless Brotherhood to actively participate in the activities of "hanging Buddha" in Hejian. The first is Petyr Frey, Sir Lyman's youngest son. He is young, unskilled and has no business. The Brotherhood arrested him and demanded a ransom of 100 from Frey's family, but Caitlin recognized that he had attended a bloody wedding and hanged him.
The second is Merry Frey. According to my visual inspection, this is the worst Frey. He used to be a bully when he was young, but unfortunately he was infected with sexually transmitted diseases. Later, he was caught by bandits and left a mark on his ass. After being redeemed, he was beaten in the head in the battle, leaving a sequela and could no longer fight. Moreover, the children he gave birth to also fought for Qi (Yuan): Ali, the porter of Lancer's wife, Wada, Burton's fat wife, and Wade, who was once the adopted son of Winterfell and later became a skinning valet (the last victim of Winterfell assassination, suspected to have been killed by Wade).
After Petyr was arrested, Merry took the initiative to ask the gangsters to pay the ransom. As a result, he was also identified by Mrs. Shi Xin as having participated in a bloody wedding and was hanged. -Petyr and Merry actually died a little unjustly. Although they attended the wedding, they didn't kill anyone. Their task was just to get big Jon drunk, and they failed. Petyr, in particular, was drunk and unconscious before he started.
The third is Lyman Frey. As we said before, now he is the heir of old Wade, and he is a fool. During the siege of Riverrun, he did many absurd things. Later, Zhan Mu came to Riverrun and couldn't stand him, so he drove him away. He was captured alive by the Brotherhood on his way home and then hanged.
Lyman's sons Edwin and Hayward were at odds. With the death of Lyman, it is estimated that the dispute over the inheritance rights of Frey's family will intensify.
Finally, there is Inis Frey who led Frey's army northward with Burton. He led the army out of the city to fight Stannis, fell into a trap dug by Morse Amber (uncle of Big Jon) and broke his neck. Horstin took over his command, but we are not optimistic about his result in this battle.
Well, Mandalay killed three, Mrs. Shi Xin killed three, and with Wade Jr. and kiness, eight freisa were already dead. They will lose more in the next war and family feud.
The novel always emphasizes the sanctity of guests' rights, and always alludes to the old Marquis Wade with the story of rat kitchen. So I think the more reasonable result of this old man is to live and watch his descendants die one by one instead of being assassinated.
Frey's family lost more fame. Before blood relatives got married, those ancient and noble families despised them because they were "nouveau riche". After blood relatives, almost all families despise and are hostile to them. Frey's life is really hard.
What happened was this: Frey betrayed the king in a rage, the wedding turned into a slaughterhouse, and the guests cursed one after another, so the family should be cold.
