When the Freys ride out of Winterfell Aenys Frey falls into a pit trap dug by Mors Umber's boys, breaking his neck in the process. Because of this horrible incident, command soon falls to his half-brother Hosteen, a fierce fighter but not particularly clever. As House Frey had betrayed House Stark, this brought a complete end to the North's rebellion against the Iron Throne. Because of the Red Wedding, this allowed the Iron Throne to take in a number of valuable hostages. Walder Frey's second son Emmon Frey is made Lord of Riverrun while one of his granddaughters Amerei Frey is to marry Lancel Lannister and another Frey girl marry Ser Daven Lannister.

Catelyn and Walder negotiate a marriage pact to bond the Starks to the Freys. He states Robb will marry one of his daughters, and Arya Stark will marry Elmar. As a symbol of their pact, Catelyn takes in Big Walder and Little Walder, two of Lord Frey’s grandchildren. After Lord Walder Frey became Lord of the Crossing, House Frey’s magnitude exploded as he conceived many children.

The house sigil is two blue towers united under a bridge on a silver-grey field, representing The Twins. The current head of the house hold is Walder Frey, the second oldest person in all of Westeros, next to Maester Aemon. They almost never wear mail or plate, and don't often carry shields.

Since Ryman Frey has been removed from the show, Walder sends Lothar Frey and Black Walder Rivers (a combo character of Black Walder and Walder Rivers, but far less competent) to besiege Riverrun. Like in the books, they use Edmure as a hostage and threaten to kill him of Brynden does not surrender, but they ultimatly don't for the same reasons in the books. The Lannister army is sent to assist the Freys and Jaime arrives to take command and lift the siege. He learns that Roslyn has given birth to a son, whom Jamie threatens to kill if Edmure does not order the Riverrun men to surrender. Edmure, in order to save his son does as Jaime tells him to do and Riverrun is soon under Frey control and a Lannister captain reports that Brynden died fighting, whether or not he is telling the truth or lying is yet to be seen. When Tywin Lannister attacks the Riverlands Walder Frey doesn't answer his liege lord Hoster Tully's calling the banners.
Lady Roslin Tully
Taking control of the Brotherhood without Banners, she begins a vendetta on all those she holds responsible for betraying her and for murdering her son Robb. The Brotherhood begin by capturing one of Walder Frey's great-grandsons Petyr Frey, and demanding a hundred dragons for him. When Walder's ninth son Merrett Frey delivers the ransom, hoping to win the favor of the main Frey branch as Petyr is the youngest son of the current heir to the Twins, he finds Petyr has already been hanged. However Stoneheart judges him guilty and has him hanged on her orders. The Freys were founded about 600 years before the series began, when a petty Lord built a bridge over the Green Fork. Eventually the crossing was expanded into twin castles, one on either side of the river, plus a tower in the middle, hence the Frey's seat of power is known as the Twins.
Many Westerosi, including Jaime Lannister, King Tommen Baratheon's small council, and Lord Yohn Royce, condemned the horrific massacre with antipathy and disgust, and House Frey became an example of those who would violate Guest Right. The Sparrows, who are pilgrims and war refugees from the war-torn Riverlands and Crownlands, are especially furious with the Red Wedding and the Freys' violation of Guest Right. To make matters worse, the massacre also ruins House Frey's reputation and they were met with immense disgust and outrage by many, including countless war refugees known as the "sparrows" (most of them currently reformed as Poor Fellows).
The Freys look down on them and call them pejorative names such as "frogeaters" or "mudmen". Historically, Frey warriors tried and failed to conquer Greywater Watch multiple times. House Frey of the Crossing are major antagonists in the A Song of Ice and Fire novel series and its television adaptation Game of Thrones. The episode, called “Dragonstone,” begins in the great hall of the Twins, the same spot where the Starks were slaughtered. A very much alive Lord Frey sneers down at his gathered family members, all of whom are drinking and eating and otherwise causing a ruckus. Frey loudly taps his table twice in order to get his fellows’ attention, a move that harkens back to how the original Red Wedding launched.
Measuring only 800 square feet, the house is compact but very functional. A concrete block podium forms the base for the simple steel structure house. It has a steel-frame with large spans of glass and sheathing in painted corrugated metal. Sent every Tuesday and containing a selection of the most important news highlights. Plus occasional updates on Dezeen’s services and breaking news. Sent every Thursday and featuring a selection of the best reader comments and most talked-about stories.
The construction of the Twins took the Freys three centuries, and ever since they have grown wealthy by charging the travelers crossing the Twins. However at the celebration feast at the Twins, Jaime reminds Walder that Brynden's capture of Riverrun shows that Walder so far, is not doing his job well in keeping the Riverlands under control. Later, while dining on pie, Walder asks a servant girl where Lothar and Black Walder are. The servant girl replies "They are here, my lord." Walder soon finds a toenail in the pie. The servant says that Walder's sons were not easy to carve and cook, then reveals that she is really Arya Stark. Walder tries to run but Arya grabs Walder and slits his throat, killing him.
After Eddard Stark gets killed, the Freys support Robb as he becomes King in the North. After the creation of the great bridge, House Frey taxed people for crossing their bridge; this led to their wealth exploding. However, even with their wealth, they remained the bannermen of House Tully, an older house ruled by the Lord of Riverrun. Even after trying to capture places like Greywater Watch, the Freys failed and remained at the Twins.
