Four [[House Frey|Freys]] ride out to welcome [[Robb Stark|Robb]]’s army, but Ser [[Ryman Frey|Ryman]] is angered that Queen [[Jeyne Westerling|Jeyne]] is not amongst them.

Catelyn is nervous and reminds Robb that they must eat as soon as they enter the castle because "once you have eaten of his bread and salt tou have guest right, and the laws of hospitality protect you beneath his roof".  Robb is not concerned because he has an army with him, but he promises to eat.

Robb's host approaches the Twins. Robb rides at the head with Catelyn, Edmure, beside him and Ser Raynald bearing his banner.

They are met by a contingent headed by Ser Ryman Frey, Lord Walder's grandson, and three of Ryman's sons: Edwyn, Black Walder, and Petyr. When they come near, Grey Wind begins to growl and leaps forward, causing Petyr's horse to throw him. Ser Ryman is angered that Queen Jeyne is not amongst them and Catelyn offers her apologies, but Black Walder says that Lord Walder will be displeased. They freys say they have rooms prepared for Robb, Catelyn, and Edmure, and their bannermen at the Water Tower but the army is to cross the bridge to the far end and join Lord Walder Frey’s and Lord Bolton’s men beneath pavilions erected for the wedding.

When they reach the gatehouse, Grey Wind refuses to continue and howls, Lame Lothar come up and say he must fear the water and offer to give him over to the master of hounds but Robb has Ser Raynald stay with him instead. Robb enters the great hall, where Walder and his eighth wife Joyeuse await. Lord Walder is relentless in his veiled insults against Robb, making it clear that the King betrayed him by breaking his solemn oath. Robb apologizes, and then Roslin is brought out.

He tells them that Ramsay is holding Theon hostage, and he shows them a piece of Greyjoy’s skin.
