Editing Ryman Frey (section)

===''A Storm of Swords''===
After Robb marries [[Jeyne Westerling]], slighting [[House Frey]], Ryman strikes Robb's banner and leads his forces from the [[Crag]] back to the [[Twins]]. He takes Robb's [[squire]] [[Olyvar Frey]] with him, although Olyvar asks to remain with the king. Robb later explains to Catelyn that, if Stevron had still been alive, he might have been able to make amends with the Freys in his host, but that was not possible with Ryman and his son [[Walder Frey (son of Ryman)|Black Walder]].{{Ref|ASOS|14}}

When Robb Stark arrives at the Twins for the wedding of [[Edmure Tully]], now [[Lord of Riverrun]], and [[Roslin Frey]], a curt Ryman and his three sons ride out to welcome him.{{Ref|ASOS|49}}

During the wedding feast, Catelyn observes the sour Ryman perspiring while drinking [[wine]], even though Ryman bathed in [[lemon]]water. Ryman confirms for Catelyn that Olyvar and [[Alesander Frey]], who are friendly to House Stark, are not present for the wedding, and he staggers from the hall. When the Freys and [[House Bolton|Boltons]] betray Robb, an armored Ryman storms back into the hall, followed by soldiers armed with heavy longaxes, and he kills [[Dacey Mormont]] by thrusting his axe into her stomach. When Catelyn holds a dagger to the throat of [[Aegon Frey (son of Stevron)|Jinglebell]] to trade his life for Robb's, Ryman and his son Black Walder circle behind her back. Robb and Catelyn are both slain in what becomes known as the [[Red Wedding]].{{Ref|ASOS|51}} 

Ryman takes two thousand spears to meet with Ser [[Daven Lannister]] and Ser [[Forley Prester]] to begin the [[siege of Riverrun]].{{Ref|ASOS|60}}

When Ryman's son, [[Petyr Frey]], is taken [[hostage]] by the [[brotherhood without banners]], Ryman's uncle, [[Merrett Frey]], volunteers to deliver the ransom, believing this would put him in the good graces of Ryman and prevent him from kicking Merrett and his family out of the Twins when Ryman succeeds Lord Walder. According to Merrett, Ryman was one of the principal architects of the Red Wedding, together with Lord Walder and Lord [[Roose Bolton]]. The [[outlaws]] hang both Petyr and Merrett for their own involvement in the massacre.{{Ref|ASOS|Epilogue}}
