Editing Edmure Tully (section)

===''A Clash of Kings''===
Edmure thinks the [[red comet]] is an omen of victory for Riverrun, and he convinces King Robb to give the river lords leave to return to their castles and defend their lands.{{ref|ACOK|7}} When Robb decides to take his northern horse west into the [[westerlands]], he tasks Edmure with holding Riverrun and guarding his rear. Edmure shelters the frightened [[smallfolk]] in Riverrun when [[Tywin Lannister]] burns and pillages through the riverlands, although this reduces Riverrun's supplies.{{Ref|ACOK|39}}

After Lord [[Roose Bolton]] takes the [[crossroads]], Edmure commands Ser [[Helman Tallhart]] to leave the [[Twins]] and aid Roose in retaking [[fall of Harrenhal|Harrenhal]] from Tywin. Edmure, Lord Blackwood, and Lord [[Jonos Bracken]] believe Tywin can be caught between Riverrun and Harrenhal once Robb returns from the west.{{Ref|ACOK|39}}

[[Tyrion Lannister]] includes four false envoys in the party escorting Ser [[Cleos Frey]] from [[King's Landing]] back to Riverrun.{{ref|ACOK|25}} While Edmure is wenching north of the [[Tumblestone]], the plotters attempt to free Ser [[Jaime Lannister]] from his Riverrun captivity, with a [[mummer]] imitating Edmure's voice. [[plot to free Jaime Lannister|The scheme]] fails when [[Long Lew]] spotted Edmure's returning boat, however. Edmure hangs the four plotters and the [[House Lannister guards|red cloaks]] that aided them. Edmure moves Jaime to the dungeon and places Cleos in Jaime's old tower cell.{{ref|ACOK|39}}

During the [[Battle of the Fords]], Edmure defends a crossing of the [[Red Fork]] against the Lannisters in a fierce battle fought at [[Stone Mill]]. Ser [[Gregor Clegane]] manages to cross, suffering heavy losses, but is pushed back when Edmure sends in his reserves.{{ref|ACOK|45}}{{ref|ASOS|14}} The smallfolk within Riverrun celebrate Edmure's victory and Robb's [[storming of the Crag]].{{ref|ACOK|55}}

Edmure is among the family and friends for whom [[Sansa Stark]] sings a prayer during the [[Battle of the Blackwater]].{{ref|ACOK|57}}
