Recent Events

A Game of Thrones

Jinglebell is not in attendance when Catelyn Stark negotiates with his grandfather, Lord Walder Frey, at the Twins.[7][5]

A Clash of Kings

Ser Stevron Frey, Aegon's father and the heir of Lord Walder, dies after the Battle of Oxcross.[8] Big Walder and Little Walder Frey mention Aegon and his sons while discussing the new line of succession,[8] but Jinglebell is not known to have any offspring.

A Storm of Swords

When Robb Stark, King of the Trident, comes to the Twins to apologize for breaking his marriage vows, Lord Walder Frey has Jinglebell present when he receives Robb. The king's mother, Catelyn Stark, interprets this as an intentionally insulting breach of courtesy. Regardless, Robb compliments the bravery of Aegon's late father, Ser Stevron.[5] When Walder introduces the women of the Twins to Robb, Lady Joyeuse Erenford restrains Aegon from rising as well.[5]

During the wedding feast of Lord Edmure Tully and Roslin Frey, Aegon prances to "Alysanne", and he covers his ears when the Greatjon sings "The Bear and the Maiden Fair" while musicians play "Flowers of Spring".[4] He sucks wine from his fingers, hops about during the bedding ceremony, and steals food from the plates of guests.[4]

After the killing begins in the Red Wedding, Aegon hides under a table. Catelyn seizes Jinglebell, however, and threatens to kill him if Walder does not release Robb, who has been struck by arrows. Walder replies that he would readily trade a half-wit grandson for a son. After Robb is stabbed by Lord Roose Bolton, Catelyn saws through Aegon's throat, killing him.[4] Ser Raymund Frey then slits Catelyn's throat.[9]

Before being hanged by the brotherhood without banners, Merrett Frey uses the murder of Aegon as a justification for the Red Wedding.[9]

Walder Frey and Robb Stark


Catelyn: On my honor as a Tully, on my honor as a Stark, I will trade your boy's life for Robb's. A son for a son.
Walder: A son for a son, heh. But that's a grandson ... and he never was much use.[4]
