Lord Piper is among the reluctant riverlords who take part in the [[siege of Riverrun]] and, along with both Lord Vances, represents the riverlords at war councils. During the first war council with Jaime present, Clement dismisses Lord [[Norbert Vance]]'s idea of peaceful resolution, believing that Ser [[Brynden Tully]] has too much sense to yield Riverrun to [[House Frey]]. Clement insults [[Edwyn Frey]] and demands the return of his son, while also questioning the fate of twenty [[men-at-arms]] and five [[knight]]s, Lord Piper's nephews and cousins, who had accompanied Marq to the wedding. When Edwyn gives a dismissive answer and calls them traitors, Clement challenges Edwyn who pales before him, until the more martial Ser [[Walder Rivers]] steps in. Jaime demands both men to sit, but Clement storms out of the council with Jaime reminding Edwyn that the Freys are twice as treacherous as Clement.{{Ref|AFFC|38}}
