Catelyn's ailing father, Lord [[Hoster Tully]], declines to attend [[Wedding of Walder Frey and Joyeuse Erenford|Walder's wedding]] to [[Joyeuse Erenford]].{{ref|AGOT|59}}

Walder is slow in answering [[House Tully]]'s summons when Ser [[Edmure Tully|Edmure]] calls the banners. Aside from skirmishing with Ser [[Addam Marbrand]]'s [[House Lannister|Lannister]] outriders, the [[House Frey|Freys]] mass their strength within the [[Twins]].{{ref|AGOT|59}} Edmure is defeated by Ser [[Jaime Lannister]] at [[battle under the walls of Riverrun|Riverrun]]{{Ref|AGOT|56}} while Walder gathers his forces.{{ref|AGOT|59}}

Because the use of the Twins becomes a strategic necessity for the host of Catelyn's son, [[Robb Stark]], Walder negotiates marriage contracts with Catelyn. Robb is to marry one of Walder's daughters once there is peace and his sister, [[Arya Stark|Arya]], is betrothed to Walder's youngest son, [[Elmar Frey|Elmar]]. In addition, two of Lord Frey's grandsons, [[Walder Frey (son of Merrett)|Little Walder]] and [[Walder Frey (son of Jammos)|Big Walder]], are sent to [[Winterfell]] as wards and one of his sons, [[Olyvar Frey|Olyvar]], is made squire to Robb.{{ref|AGOT|59}}

===''A Storm of Swords''===
[[File:Lord Walder Frey.png|thumb|David Bradley as Lord Walder Frey in ''[[Game of Thrones]]'']]
Word eventually reaches the [[Twins]] of Robb Stark's marriage to [[Jeyne Westerling]] instead of a Frey as promised. Ser [[Ryman Frey]], Lord Walder's new heir, withdraws House Frey's support from the king in outrage.{{ref|asos|14}}

Walder sends his son [[Lothar Frey|Lame Lothar]] to [[Riverrun]] to negotiate a rapprochement. Robb and many of his key bannermen return to the Twins under [[guest right]] to make amends and marry Lord [[Edmure Tully]] to Walder's daughter, [[Roslin Frey|Roslin]]. During the wedding feast, however, Frey and [[House Bolton|Bolton]] men ambush Robb and his entire host, slaughtering King Robb, [[Catelyn Stark]], many of their bannermen, and a significant portion of the northern army.{{ref|ASOS|51}}

Walder had secretly colluded with Lords [[Tywin Lannister]] and Roose Bolton to betray the Starks and Tullys in what becomes known as the [[Red Wedding]].{{ref|ASOS|53}}{{ref|ASOS|54}} Walder swears loyalty to King [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey I Baratheon]], with Walder's second son [[Emmon Frey|Emmon]] receiving Riverrun and its lands as reward.{{ref|ASOS|72}} 

According to one of his sons, [[Merrett Frey|Merrett]], Lord Walder is not long for the world and when he dies it will be every other Frey for himself. Walder, though a tyrant, believes in taking care of his own, even the ones who disappoint him. When [[Stevron Frey|Stevron]] was heir it was different, as he was raised by Walder to believe that blood was blood, but his sons and grandsons, now the new heirs, do not feel the same way. Merrett and [[Petyr Frey]] are hanged by outlaws, the [[brotherhood without banners]], at [[Oldstones]].{{ref|ASOS|Epilogue}}

===''A Feast for Crows''===
Walder's new wife, Joyeuse, is pregnant.{{ref|AFFC|Appendix}}

Ser [[Daven Lannister]] is promised to a Frey according to an agreement negotiated by Lord Tywin before his death.{{ref|AFFC|33}} Ser [[Lancel Lannister]] is betrothed to Walder's granddaughter, [[Amerei Frey|Amerei]].{{ref|AFFC|7}}

Walder sends a [[raven]] to [[King's Landing]] putting forth several claims to land. Because the Red Wedding is reviled by [[sparrows]], the [[small council]] of Queen Regent [[Cersei Lannister]] suggests that Walder's eventual successor could name the culprits and thereby rid himself of rivals.{{ref|AFFC|17}}

The [[Elder Brother (Quiet Isle)|Elder Brother]] at the [[Quiet Isle]] says that Lord Frey is hunting outlaws from the Twins.{{ref|AFFC|31}}

While returning to the Twins from the [[siege of Riverrun]], Walder's new heir, [[Ryman Frey|Ryman]], is hanged, presumably by the brotherhood without banners. Ser [[Jaime Lannister]] tasks [[Walder Rivers]] with informing Lord Walder that King [[Tommen Baratheon|Tommen I Baratheon]] requires all captives taken by the Freys during the Red Wedding.{{ref|AFFC|44}}

===''A Dance with Dragons''===
Walder agrees to a marriage pact with Lord [[Wyman Manderly]], betrothing two of Walder's grandsons, [[Rhaegar Frey|Rhaegar]] and [[Walder Frey (son of Merrett)|Little Walder]], to Wyman's granddaughters, [[Wynafryd Manderly|Wynafryd]] and [[Wylla Manderly|Wylla]].{{ref|ADWD|9}}{{ref|ADWD|19}}

Walder sends at least 1,400 Frey soldiers under the command of two sons, Ser [[Aenys Frey|Aenys]] and Ser [[Hosteen Frey|Hosteen]], with Lord Bolton when the new [[Warden of the North]] returns to the [[north]].{{ref|ADWD|20}} Rhaegar and two of Walder's sons, [[Jared Frey|Jared]] and [[Symond Frey|Symond]], [[Frey Pies/Theories|vanish]] after leaving [[White Harbor]].
