Edmere's Fate: Post-Red Wedding

Edmure Tully, the Lord of Riverrun and Lord Paramount of the Trident, was taken captive by his new father-in-law, Walder Frey, after the Red Wedding. Edmure's forces and commanders from House Tully and House Stark were killed during the bedding ceremony. In the TV show, Edmure is likely still imprisoned at the Twins. In the books, Edmure is sent to Casterly Rock as a hostage of House Lannister.

Edmure is taken hostage by Lord Frey

Edmure Tully is taken hostage by Lord Walder Frey after the Red Wedding. Edmure is kept in a dungeon at the Twins, where he spends his wedding night.

Frey uses Edmure as leverage to take back Riverrun from Edmure's uncle, Brynden Tully (also known as the Blackfish). Edmure is brought out in chains and made to stand with a noose around his neck, as a threat to the Blackfish. Edmure's life is spared, but he remains a captive at the Twins.

Eventually, Jaime Lannister arrives and takes Edmure as his own prisoner. Jaime offers Edmure a chance to live out his days in gentle imprisonment as a hostage at Casterly Rock, with his wife and newborn son. Edmure agrees to Jaime's terms and surrenders Riverrun, allowing his uncle to escape. Edmure is then sent west to Casterly Rock, under heavy guard.

He is held captive at the Twins

Edmure Tully is held captive at the Twins by his new father-in-law, Walder Frey. Edmure is kept in the dungeons, and is brought out and threatened with execution to force his uncle, Brynden Tully, to surrender Riverrun. Edmure is kept alive as a valuable hostage, as the Lannisters hope to use him to negotiate the surrender of Riverrun. Edmure is paraded in front of the castle with a noose around his neck, and his execution is threatened if the castle is not surrendered. Edmure's life is spared, but he is returned to the dungeons.

Edmure is eventually released from the dungeons by Jaime Lannister, who offers him a deal: Edmure will surrender Riverrun, and in return, he will be allowed to live out his days in gentle imprisonment as a hostage at Casterly Rock with his wife, Roslin Frey, and their newborn son. Edmure initially refuses, but Jaime threatens to catapult the baby into the castle, and Edmure reluctantly agrees to his terms. Edmure surrenders Riverrun and is sent to Casterly Rock as a hostage of House Lannister.

Edmure is threatened with hanging

Edmure Tully, the Lord of Riverrun and Lord Paramount of the Trident, was taken captive by his new father-in-law, Walder Frey, after the Red Wedding. Edmure was threatened with hanging by the Freys when they attacked Riverrun, which was being held by Edmure's uncle, Ser Brynden Tully. Edmure was brought to the siege of Riverrun, where he was forced to stand at the gallows every day with a noose around his neck. The Freys threatened to hang Edmure if Riverrun did not surrender.

However, Edmure's uncle refused to give in to their demands. Eventually, Jaime Lannister arrived and took Edmure as his own prisoner. Jaime offered Edmure a deal: if Edmure surrendered Riverrun, he would be allowed to live in comfort as a hostage at Casterly Rock with his wife, Roslin, and their unborn child. Edmure reluctantly agreed to Jaime's terms, and Riverrun was peacefully surrendered.

Jaime Lannister takes Edmure as his own prisoner

Jaime offers Edmure a deal: he will be reunited with his wife and newborn son and will live out his days in gentle imprisonment as a hostage at Casterly Rock. His son will be tutored, trained in combat, and given his own keep when he comes of age. Edmure initially refuses, but Jaime threatens to catapult his infant son into Riverrun if he does not agree. Edmure reluctantly accepts Jaime's terms.

Edmure approaches the gates of Riverrun and requests entry as the Lord of Riverrun and head of House Tully. Edmure's men let him in, and he commands them to surrender, allowing the Lannister-Frey army to enter. Edmure's uncle, Brynden, is not among the prisoners, having escaped with Edmure's help. Edmure is sent west to Casterly Rock, where he will live as a hostage of House Lannister.
