Rob's Uncle: Red Wedding Massacre

The Red Wedding was a pivotal plotline in Game of Thrones, where Robb Stark and his mother, Catelyn, attend the wedding of his uncle Edmure Tully to one of the daughters of Walder Frey. The wedding was a consolation prize of sorts, as Robb was supposed to marry one of Lord Frey's daughters but broke his word and married Talisa instead. The wedding itself went off without a hitch, and everything seemed fine when the bride and groom were whisked off for their bedding ceremony. Then, the doors to the hall closed, the musicians began playing the Lannister anthem The Rains of Castamere, and the bloodbath began. Robb's pregnant wife, Talisa, was the first to die, stabbed repeatedly in the stomach. Then, a bevy of crossbow-bearing men appeared in the balconies and began firing on everyone below, including Robb and his mother. In a desperate attempt to save her son, Catelyn grabbed Frey's wife and threatened to cut her throat. I'll find another, he replied, nonchalantly. Then, as Catelyn watched, Lord Roose Bolton stabbed Robb through the heart, whispering, The Lannisters send their regards. Catelyn, screaming in rage and despair, cut the throat of the young girl she was holding hostage. Then, after watching her eldest son die, her own throat was cut.

Robb Stark's uncle Edmure Tully marries one of Walder Frey's daughters

Edmure Tully, Robb Stark's uncle, marries Roslin Frey, one of Walder Frey's daughters, in a bid to repair the broken alliance between House Stark and House Frey. Robb had previously agreed to marry one of Lord Walder Frey's daughters but broke the pact by marrying Talisa Maegyr instead. Edmure initially refuses to marry Roslin, as he is not allowed to choose between Lord Frey's daughters, but eventually consents due to family pressure and his desire to make amends for his mistake at the Battle of the Fords.

The wedding is held at the Twins, and Edmure is pleased with Roslin, although she cries during their introduction. Edmure and Roslin share a meal and exchange vows, with Edmure wrapping a Tully cloak around Roslin. After the ceremony, the couple retires to the bedchamber, where Edmure impregnates Roslin. Meanwhile, a feast is held for the highborn, and a "bastard feast" for the lower ranks.

However, the wedding turns into a massacre, known as the Red Wedding, as Lord Walder Frey, in collaboration with Lord Roose Bolton and Tywin Lannister, seeks revenge on Robb for breaking the marriage pact. The signal for the massacre is an instrumental version of "The Rains of Castamere". Robb, his pregnant wife Talisa, Catelyn Stark, and most of his soldiers are killed. Edmure survives the Red Wedding and becomes a captive of the Freys.

Robb Stark breaks his pact with House Frey by marrying Talisa

Robb Stark's pact with House Frey was broken when he married Talisa Maegyr, a healer from the battlefields of the Westerlands. Robb met Talisa when she was treating a wounded Lannister soldier after the Battle of Oxcross. Despite his mother Catelyn's warnings, Robb fell in love with Talisa and they were married in secret before a septon.

Robb's marriage to Talisa was a problem for House Frey because Robb had previously pledged to marry one of Lord Walder Frey's daughters. Robb's broken pact with House Frey was the catalyst for the Red Wedding, a massacre that took place during the War of the Five Kings. Robb, his pregnant wife Talisa, and Robb's mother Catelyn were all killed at the Red Wedding.

Robb Stark and his mother Catelyn Stark are killed at the Red Wedding

The Red Wedding was a massacre that took place during the War of the Five Kings, orchestrated by Lord Walder Frey as revenge against Robb Stark for breaking a marriage pact between House Stark and House Frey.

Robb Stark, King in the North, and his mother, Catelyn Stark, were lured to the wedding of Edmure Tully and Roslin Frey under the pretence of a renewed alliance. However, it was a trap, and the Freys, along with the Boltons, orchestrated a brutal massacre of the Starks and their bannermen.

Robb and Catelyn were in the main hall with Edmure and Roslin when the musicians began to play "The Rains of Castamere", a song associated with the Lannisters. The musicians were armed with crossbows and began firing at Robb and the Northern guests. Robb was hit by several crossbow bolts and died after Roose Bolton stabbed him in the heart. Catelyn was also hit by multiple crossbow bolts and had her throat slit by Ser Raymund Frey.

The Red Wedding resulted in the deaths of Robb and Catelyn Stark, Robb's pregnant wife Talisa, and many Northern and Riverlander soldiers. It was a decisive victory for the Lannisters and King Joffrey Baratheon, as it ended the conflict between House Stark and House Lannister. The Northern army was annihilated, and the Lannisters were finally able to win the War of the Five Kings.

The massacre also violated the ancient custom of guest right, which offered safety and security to guests, even in an enemy's home. As a result, the perpetrators earned the loathing of many in the Seven Kingdoms, especially in the North.

Robb's wife Talisa is the first to die at the Red Wedding

Robb Stark's uncle, Edmure Tully, was one of the few survivors of the Red Wedding. Edmure was taken captive by the Freys, who threw the Red Wedding to exact revenge on Robb for breaking a marriage pact with House Frey. Edmure's uncle, Brynden "Blackfish" Tully, managed to escape.

Robb Stark's wife, Talisa, was the first to die at the Red Wedding. Talisa was a healer and noblewoman from Volantis, who fell in love with Robb after treating him on the battlefield. Talisa was visibly pregnant with Robb's child when she attended the wedding of Edmure Tully and Roslin Frey at the Twins.

The Red Wedding was orchestrated by Lord Walder Frey, as revenge for Robb breaking the marriage pact between House Stark and House Frey. Talisa was the first to be attacked. She was stabbed in the stomach, causing her to quickly succumb to her wounds. Her unborn child also died. Robb, who was in shock, was then shot with an arrow, and the Freys began to slaughter the Stark allies. Robb was killed by Roose Bolton, who stabbed him in the heart.

Edmure Tully survives the Red Wedding

Edmure Tully was one of the few survivors of the Red Wedding. Edmure was Robb Stark's uncle and the Lord of Riverrun. Edmure was taken prisoner by the Freys and thrown into a cell at the Twins the same night as the Red Wedding. Edmure remained a prisoner at the Twins until Season 6, when he was used as a pawn to help the Frey-Lannister forces conquer the Tully family estate, Riverrun. After Riverrun was captured, Edmure was once again imprisoned by Walder Frey. Edmure's luck may have improved after the Season 6 finale, when his niece Arya Stark killed Walder Frey and all his male heirs. However, it is unknown if Edmure is still imprisoned or if he was freed by Arya.

Edmure's survival of the Red Wedding is particularly notable as he was a key figure in the events leading up to the massacre. Edmure's marriage to Roslin Frey was intended to be a peace offering to the Freys, who were angered by Robb Stark's decision to marry Talisa Maegyr instead of a daughter of Walder Frey, as he had previously agreed. The wedding of Edmure and Roslin was hosted by Walder Frey, who used the opportunity to exact his revenge on Robb Stark. Edmure was spared from the massacre as he was consummating his marriage in another part of the castle.
