Walder Frey

Walder Frey was the Lord of the Crossing and the former head of House Frey. Though almost ninety years old and infirm by the time of his death, he still maintained an active hand in the running of his house at the Twins.

Walder had become famous for siring many children and surviving many wives. He had over a hundred descendants by the time of his death. Walder had had twenty-three trueborn sons and seven trueborn daughters from his marriages, with an unknown number of bastard sons and daughters. He placed a great emphasis on family loyalty, though his descendants jockeyed ruthlessly for his favor. Many Freys named their sons Walder and daughters Walda hoping that the lord would favour them.

Death
Walder Frey and his bannermen were attacked by Targaryen soldiers while on their way to King's Landing to witness the peace deal negotiations to end Robert's Rebellion. Lord Frey was late, as usual, and was not present for the destruction of the Sept of Baelor. This did not save them. Walder Frey and his bannermen were all slain on the Kingsroad.
