    If there's a good point about Black Walder is that he's honest about who he is. He's not pretentious like a lot of his relatives

    Black Walder has always been one of my favorite Freys. Dude is a badass unlike most of his cowardly cousins. He has got to have some Bracken in his blood because of how he's described. I wish George had added a prince charming kind of Frey that serves as the antithesis to Black Walder and goes against all of the Frey stereotypes. Perhaps an "Rhaegar Targaryen" type of Frey that everyone likes and wants to be heir and Black Walder treats as his rival. White Walder vs Black Walder.

    How did you possibly miss the fact that he’s a bastard? That’s why he’s got the bad attitude. Edmure says “Blavk Walder, that one was not named for the color of his beard. Hates that he’s a bastard and hates everyone that isn’t one.”
    He’s not in the line of succession but he is “the fiercest fighter of all the Freys” and some think he might try to take the twins by force but again, he’s not in the line if succession. Little walder and big walder mention him when they talk about succession but he’s a bastard.

      It's like a mandala effect that just dropped this month. He was mentioned enough in the books I always imagined him as a bastard because he was introduced as a bastard. And I remember the succession talk they said he slept with every one not carrying about how related to him the girl is, and potentially some in line who could be his kids so the twins seat could end up with a bastard fake frey. That's how I remember it.

      You can always tell who didn’t read the books, as they are the ones who shit on the Freys while ignoring the wrongs committed against them from other houses.
      Every other house spits on the Freys, uses them constantly and retracts their promises to them. Robb Stark was a piece of shit. And so was Edmure and Catelin herself. The funniest part is, Stark had no clue whatsoever he was set up by Jeyne’s family. Lol some king.

    Isn't funny that the Northmen at the red wedding cheer for Robb Stark and Queen Jeyne, and then have the nerve to act surprised the Freys betrayed them. Not a good idea to to rub salt in Frey's wounds by cheering for Jeyne.
    Isn't it funny how the northmen don't even care that Robb Stark broke his oath to Frey, then have the nerve to demand Frey be "honorable?" and uphold guest right.
    LOL, Red Wedding was Robb's own doing, he should have kept his oath rather then screw over the Freys, who made a total 1/3 of his army to march on Moat Caelin.

Be honest, how does it serve House Frey to ally with Robb again, when Robb a.) broke his oath to House Frey and dishonored worse than any House has b.) lied to the Freys, had them fight and die for him all for a LIE, because he ended up breaking his Oath, like Walder's heir Steveron died for Robb at Oxcross c.) surrounded on all sides, ironborn north, Lannisters west, Tyrells/Martells east and South d.) once Robb marches the North, the Lannisters and Tyrells will steamroll the Riverlands.
      They for real think Walder Frey is going to eat Robb's sh*t and not do anything about it.💀💀
      People must pull some insane mental gymnastics to think Walder Frey would so easily let Robb off the hook.
      Catlin mentions time and an time again how spitefull and opportunistic Walder Frey is. How angry he was Hoster did not attend his weddings or refused Edmure for one of his daughters.
      Trying a new deal after breaking the first is an even bigger insult.
      What the heck were they expecting.

      @@chaos_knight_xy Robb has nothing to do with it. At the red wedding they killed northern nobles, rivermen nobles, which some of them have family relationships with, and killed northern & rivermen soldiers & commoners. Then after that, they want to have relationships and go back to normal with such nobles and houses saying sorry, didn't do, it was shape shifting magic. That behavior is enough for all of Westeros to lose trust and respect for house frey. No house would risk losing its family members with unstable people who could pull their knives at any moment because some other guy broke his oath to them. That's why they are hated, not because of Robb Stark. And yeah of course, saying to someone we pledge to you then stabbing him in the heart tend to make one's word worthless among his peers.

      @@iamsheel What do you mean the Red Wedding had nothing to do with Robb, it have everything to do with Robb. Robb betrayed the Freys.
      G.R.R Martin literally confirmed the Red Wedding only happened because Robb dishonored House Frey.
      Also I think Lord Walder Frey could care less about how anyone views, he killed Robb Stark, that is enough for him.
      No body liked him to begin with. I'd rather be powerfull and hated, then disliked and looked down upon. Also who cares what anyone thinks about them, Lord Clement Piper was put in his place by Ser Walder Rivers. The Northmen and Rivermen are nothing but hypocrites, they have some nerve to get upset at House Frey, yet not got upset at Robb Stark for breaking his oath.
      Those same people that call Frey dishonorable, magically and hypocritically forget why Red Wedding happened, maybe they should have realized that the young wolf should have kept his promise. these same hypocrites like Brienne of Tarth calls the Freys and Lannister's Oathbreakers, while at the same time put Robb Stark on pedestal. When Robb Stark broke his oath, lied to Frey, and had Frey soldiers die for him. And people in the books don't see what Robb did as dishonorable, and dare play the honor game with Lannister and Frey.
      When Aenys Frey roasts the Northern lords saying. "Stark dishonored us. That is what you northmen had best remember." (DotD ch.46)
      They are just dead silent, and don't even try to argue. They're just like "We're are going to pretend we didn't see that, because GRRR, Guestright!"
      If those northmen and rivermen had any semblance of honor, they should have forgone their oath's of fealty, and abandoned Robb Stark. Because what Robb did to Frey was purely dishonorable. They should have decided to serve someone who is actually honorable, and that isn't Robb Stark.
      Well anyways in regards to guest right, you hypocrites, here it is.
      According to Justice and Injustice in the North: Judgments of Three Stark Lords, guest right was broken before, where exactly you guessed it. IN THE NORTH!!! So if it happened before what is stopping House Frey.
      Nothing exactly, because the sacredness of guest right only depends on who is King at the end of day, do people forreal think Joffrey will prosecute House Frey for breaking it, lets seee does he? NOOOPE, in fact Joffrey wants to personally thank them.
      Dude, take into account, everything, EVERYTHING, Frey has done for Robb. (openly rebel against the Iron Throne for Robb, fight kin on the Lannister side for Robb ex. Emmon, Cleos and Tion Frey, Give Robb 1,000 knights and 3,000 foot for troops, give Robb Stark the bridge which allows him to beat Jaime, save Riverrun and sack the westerlands unopposed. Frey help Robb Stark win his battles, Gave Robb Stark the riverlands best warriors: Ser Walder Rivers, Aenys and Hosteen Frey( who take Harrenhal with Roose Bolton), Martyn Rivers( whose outriders keep tabs on Tywin Lannister, and help Edmure win the battle of the fords.) Black Walder Frey ( who scales the walls of the Craig), Ser Steveron, Walder Frey's heir, dies for Robb at Oxcross. Oh, lets not forget how Tion Frey dies in captivity because Robb couldn't control his bannermen.
      And how does Robb repay, by breaking his Oath, Robb was given a choice of any Frey girl, but decided to choose Jeyne's honor, a girl he just met from an weak enemy House, over that of House Frey. What an Insult!!!!
      If Walder Frey let Robb disrespect one of his daughters then next thing you know all three dozen of them would be treated like crap. Robb really said he’d rather defend the honor of some random woman with no loyalties to him and vice versa than the Frey girl who has maintained her virginity for marriage. Robb was given a choice of any Frey maid, which is a damn good deal, then all of sudden, he marries the first western noble woman he just met. You know what this tells someone on the outside. "Dang, all Frey women must be so ugly that the honorable Robb Stark would rather break his oath for a girl he just met rather than choose among the Frey maidens!" WHAT AN INSULT!!!!!!
      Robb showed where is priorities and how little House Frey and it's members matter to him. And people have the nerve to think Walder Frey will serve him again for what? exactly, tell ME!
      Walder's son and heir Steveron is dead because of Robb. And instead of respecting his sacrifice and that of his fellow Freys, Robb decided to be selfish instead, Robb spat on Steveron's grave with his marriage, and those Northerners have the nerve to demand Frey uphold guest right, when Robb betrayed him? What?
      You can't just screw your ally over, and expect him to play by the rules, that is narcissism at it's finest.
