A Clash of Kings

Excited by Robb Stark's successes at the War of the Five Kings, he surrounds himself with a troop of young men, of whom the oldest isn't nineteen, and calling themselves "young wolves". Leobald Tallhart mocks them calling them "young rabbits", but they circumvent the name taking the name of "wild hares." They scour the country, rabbit skins attached to they spears, singing knight songs, until Ser Rodrik Cassel orders Leobald to sort them out.[2]

Benfred and his company ride out to the Stony Shore to see if the rumors of ironborn raiding are true. They do not expect that the enemy will have many men and did not send scouts ahead. Theon Greyjoy and his ironmen easily surprise and defeat the Wild Hares. Benfred is wounded and captured. He refuses to answer any questions, calls Theon a traitor and spits on him. For this Aeron Greyjoy has him drowned.[3]
