Powerful bannermen of House Tully, and Lords of the Crossing. Their seat, the Twins, are the only way to cross a major river, which has made them very rich. Their patriarch is Walder Frey and his progeny are weaselly and scheming just like him, holding intense grudges and high ambition. Although not a traditional "Great" house, they rise in power during the civil war, though they are always disliked amongst their current allies. Lord Walder Frey is over 90, currently on his 8th wife. With over 25 legitimate sons and countless daughters, bastards, and grandchildren, he brings new meaning to the BigScrewedUpFamily trope. Their members tend to have a weaselly appearance and their sigil is two towers.

http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/house-frey-001_9559.png
Powerful bannermen of House Tully, and Lords of the Crossing. Their seat, the Twins, are the only way to cross a major river, which has made them very rich. Their patriarch is Walder Frey and his progeny are weaselly and scheming just like him, holding intense grudges and high ambition. Although not a traditional "Great" house, they rise in power during the civil war, though they are always disliked amongst their current allies. Lord Walder Frey is over 90, currently on his 8th wife. With over 25 legitimate sons and countless daughters, bastards, and grandchildren, he brings new meaning to the BigScrewedUpFamily trope. Their members tend to have a weaselly appearance and their sigil is two towers.

[[foldercontrol]]
[[folder:Tropes related to House Frey]]
* AnimalStereotypes: Almost all Freys are described as ugly and weaselly, particularly the male Freys. Subverted by Roslin and Fair Walda, the two most attractive Frey girls.
* BlatantLies: [[spoiler: The Freys' excuse for the Red Wedding. They claim the Starks drew first blood, transformed into werewolves, and the massacre was just an act of self-defense. The Northmen and Rivermen don't buy it, but are powerless to do anything since their relatives are being held as hostages.]]
** One listener sarcastically notes that it sounds like the Freys decided that since nobody was ever going to believe that the massacre wasn't their fault, they might as well go all out and put some creative flair into the cover-up story.
* BigScrewedUpFamily: And how!
* TheClan
* DisproportionateRetribution: [[spoiler:''The Red Wedding''. The "slight" Robb caused them by marrying someone else was enough to provoke murdering him, most of the men at his side and joining the Lannisters. This action has made them deeply hated across the major Northern and Riverlands houses, most of which also lost people at the massacre.]]
** [[spoiler: This doesn't even sit well with their new-found southron allies, many of whom universally revile the Freys' breach of SacredHospitality.]]
* FiveBadBand:
** TheBigBad: Lord Walder
** TheDragon: Walder Rivers and Lothar
** TheEvilGenius: Aenys and Symond
** TheBrute: Black Walder and Hosteen
** DarkChick: Edwyn
** TheLoad: Emmon and Petyr
** TheMillstone: Ryman and Merrett
* [[TheFriendNobodyLikes The Ally Nobody Likes]]: They're necessary to the war effort due to their possession of the Twins, the only crossing point over the Green Fork of the Trident for hundreds of miles, but their {{Jerkass}} and selfish tendencies make them disliked by the Northmen and Rivermen alike. Heck, they're less popular than the allied House that ''regularly flays people alive''. [[spoiler:They retain this status once they join the Lannisters, with their southron allies loathing them for their breach of SacredHospitality]].
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: They have a reputation for this, a well deserved one.
* ItRunsInTheFamily
* MassiveNumberedSiblings: Lord Walder has fathered twenty-nine legitimate children.
* NeverLiveItDown: In-universe, [[spoiler: The Red Wedding]]. The decision to [[spoiler: break the laws of SacredHospitality, murder their King and side with Tywin Lannister]] has left them deeply loathed among [[spoiler: all the major Northern and Riverlands houses except the Boltons]]. Even the Freys' [[spoiler:new]] allies express disdain for them. The only reason they haven't been moved against is they still have [[spoiler: hostages]]. ''"The North remembers."''
* [[OneSteveLimit One Walder/Walda Limit]]: Averted, with all the Walders and Waldas in the family. Additionally, the extended family features a bunch of names you've already seen elsewhere (there's Cleos' son Tywin Frey, a Cersei Frey, a Sandor Frey, a Rhaegar Frey and an Aegon Frey, known more popularly as "Jinglebell").
** Lord Walder's descendants keep naming their kids after him in attempt to please him or win favor. He confesses to a guest early on that it actually just annoys him since at this point there are dozens of Walders and Waldas and he can't tell them apart.
* PromotedToScapegoat: Though none of them seem aware of it, this is their "reward" for the Red Wedding.
* RagsToRiches: Except they made their fortunes through legitimate means and they are looked down upon by the other Great Houses.
* ShadowArchetype[=/=]Foil: To House Tully. Freys also hold "family" above everything else, but they don't give a damn about duty or honor.
* ShoutOut[=/=]MeaningfulName: "Frey" is the name of the chief male Norse god of fertility. [[ReallyGetsAround Yes, that kind of 'fertility'.]]
** A StealthPun and a spoiler for book 3: [[spoiler: Their keep, the Twins, is a set of ''double'' towers on opposite sides of the river Trident, and their official title is the Lords of the ''Crossing''.]]
* SmugSnake: Pretty much [[GangOfHats The Hat]] of the entire house. Ryman and Rhaegar are probably the biggest Smug Snakes of the lot.
* [[spoiler:TheStarscream: To the Tullys.]]
* WhosLaughingNow: They view the [[spoiler: Red Wedding]] as this. Merrett was on the receiving end after Jaime Lannister stopped his bullying when they were both squires.

[[folder:Lord Walder Frey]]
Current Lord of the Crossing, Walder Frey is a weaselly, ambitious man well into his nineties and on his eighth wife.

* DudeWheresMyRespect: Walder Frey resents how the other Houses of Westeros look down on the Freys because they are a relatively new House.
* EvilOldFolks: Lord Walder is ninety-one.
* GrumpyOldMan

* ReallyGetsAround: He's had eight wives over his 90-plus years and has had enough sex with other women to create an army of bastards. Not for nothing is it said that Walder Frey is the only lord who can field an army from his breeches.
* ScrewPolitenessImASenior
* ThickerThanWater: Walder Frey may be callous to his many kids and grandkids, but he doesn't let ''anyone'' else give them shit. [[spoiler:Robb learned that, fatally.]] Well, except for the poor half-witted grandson Jinglebell, anyway.

* ColonelBadass: Commands the Frey forces that go with Robb Stark's host.
* ThickerThanWater: Had this instilled into him by his father. [[spoiler:Unfortantly, he was the only one of Lord Walder's numerous children and grandchildren who shared this trait, and with Stevron's death, they are likely to tear themselves fighting for the Twins once Lord Walder dies]].
* TokenGoodTeammate: One of the few relatively decent Frey's.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Merrett Frey*]]
Ninth son of Walder Frey and fourth son born to his second wife Amarei Crakehall. Married to Mariya Darry and has four children. Serves as a POV character for the epilogue of ''[[Literature/AStormOfSwords A Storm of Swords]]''.
----
* TheAlcoholic: To the point where it is what makes him stand out at the Twins, with all its numerous Frey's. [[spoiler:His job at the Red Wedding was to drink the Greatjon under the table so he could be captured easily, but the Greatjon managed to outdrink him]].
* TheBully: He apparently bullied the other Kingsguard squires, until...
** BullyingADragon: He tried to bully [[BadAss Jaime Lannister]]. We never find out exactly what Jaime did to him, but it was apparently such a humiliating beatdown for Merrett that it completely broke his hold over the other kids and turned him into a...
* ButtMonkey: He ended up as this to just about everyone and was this to the Frey House before [[spoiler: getting hanged by Lady Stoneheart]]. Part of his descent into monkeyness involved getting a fawn branded onto one of his buttocks by a Wenda the White Fawn, a female member of the Kingswood Brotherhood, so there was an actual BUTT involved.
* HenpeckedHusband
* InSeriesNickname: "Merrett Muttonhead".
* [[spoiler:JerkassVictim: Hard to fell sorry for him when he gets hanged by Lady Stoneheart and the Brotherhood Without Banners due to his past jerkassery and participation in the Red Wedding]].
* TheMillstone

* BeardOfEvil
* CoDragons: With Bastard Walder Rivers.
* EvilCripple
* TheEvilGenius: [[spoiler:He is the one who planned the details of the Red Wedding and assigned each member of his family a role during it that best fitted their skills]].
* FauxAffablyEvil: He acts extremely friendly and courteous but [[spoiler:helped Roose Bolton plan the logistics of the Red Wedding]].
* InSeriesNickname: "Lame" Lothar due to a twisted leg he suffered at birth.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Ser Walder Rivers]]
Eldest bastard of Lord Walder Frey. He is a noted warrior and often given command of any military operations House Frey conducts.
----
* {{Badass}}: He has an reputation as an excellent warrior and commander, and even Jamie Lannister regards him as a dangerous man. [[spoiler:During the Red Wedding, he leads the Frey forces in routing the Northern host Robb brought with him]].
* BastardBastard: Unlike most of his siblings and cousins, who at least pretend to be polite, he lets his disdain for others shine openly.
* CoDragons: With Lame Lothar.
* InSeriesNickname: Called "Bastard Walder" due to be 1) a bastard in both meanings of the word and 2) [[CaptainObvious named Walder]].

Notable members of Walder Frey's prodigious brood.
----
* TheAlcoholic: Ryman Frey.
* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Ryman, to Edwyn and Black Walder. Particularly during [[spoiler: the siege of Riverrun. Ryman's main contributions to said siege are threatening to hang Edmure, regularly passing out drunk, and annoying his allies.]]
* BloodKnight: Black Walder, Hosteen and to a lesser extent, Walder Rivers.
* ChristmasCake: Tyta Frey, a maid at 29, is one InUniverse.

** Little Walder
** Big Walder
** Red Walder
** Gatehouse Ami (Amerei Frey)
** Fair Walda
** Fat Walda
** Ser Stupid (Hosteen Frey)

* JerkassVictim: Little Walder Frey gets killed by the "Ghost of Winterfell."
** In ''A Storm of Swords'' and 'A Feast for Crows'', [[spoiler: Petyr, Merrett, and Ryman all fall victim to the Brotherhood Without Banners.]]
* KidsAreCruel: In ''A Dance with Dragons'', Little Walder is well on his way to becoming a miniature Ramsay Bolton. In the latest ''Dunk & Egg'' story, Walder Frey himself was a spoiled little shit as a four-year old.
** Walder Frey also suffers from this trope among the Tullys. He arrived to the Battle of the Trident after the rebels had already won. His liege lord, Hoster Tully, nicknamed him the "Late Lord Frey."
* OddNameOut: There is a ''Waltyr'' Frey whose name causes some confusion for his relatives who are used to all the Walders.
* ReallyGetsAround: Amerei Frey, who ironically gets betrothed to the devoutly religious Lancel Lannister, whose nickname is "Gatehouse Ami" (as she will raise her portcullis for anyone). Also, it's mentioned that Black Walder has slept with many of the adult women in the Twins, from the wives of his brothers Edwyn and Petyr to his half-cousins Fair Walda and Gatehouse Ami and is rumored to have slept with even Annara Farring, one of Lord Walder's previous wives.

* UglyGuysHotDaughter: Alyx, Fair Walda and Roslin.
* UglyGuyHotWife: Emmon Frey and Genna Lannister and [[WildMassGuessing probably]] Walder Frey and Bethany Rosby.
** The reverse may have applied to Lord Walder's parents. His father was described as "lean and elegant" in the latest Dunk & Egg story and Walder had to have gotten his looks from ''somewhere.''
