After freeing Jaime Lannister, Catelyn is confined to Hoster's chambers.{{ref|ASOS|2}} During his last weeks, Hoster is only able to mutter a few feverish words and no longer recognizes his children. His son Edmure has assumed control of Riverrun in his stead. Hoster often speaks in his delirium of Lysa and her aborted pregnancy, initially bewildering Catelyn with his references to "[[Tansy (plant)|Tansy]]" and "the blood". Though Catelyn and Edmure write to Lysa asking her to visit her father before his death, she never responds to the ravens.{{ref|ASOS|14}} Hoster dies in {{Date|299}} and is succeeded by Edmure.{{ref|ASOS|35}}

At his funeral Hoster's body is put in a boat and set down the Red Fork by [[Robb Stark]], [[King of the Trident]], and six of his bannermen: Lord [[Jonos Bracken]], Lord [[Tytos Blackwood]], Lord [[Karyl Vance]], Lord [[Jason Mallister]], Ser [[Marq Piper]], and Lord Walder Frey's son [[Lothar Frey|Lothar]], who replaces Hoster's friend, Ser [[Desmond Grell]], at the last minute upon Robb's request. Hoster's armor, shield, hunting horn, and a wooden sword are added to the boat. As part of the funeral custom a flaming arrow is fired to light the sails as the boat travels downriver. Edmure fires the arrows, but misses three times in his grief. Brynden, seeing this, takes the bow from his nephew's hands and succeeds in lighting the sail before the boat disappears downriver.{{ref|ASOS|35}}

Edmure, the new Lord of Riverrun, is affected by his father's death and becomes surly, but Lothar warmly recalls stories about Hoster.{{ref|ASOS|35}} [[House Frey]] later betrays their liege in the [[Red Wedding]], however, taking Edmure captive and killing Robb and Catelyn.{{ref|ASOS|51}}
