Theory on the death of Walder Frey
This is just a theory on the death of Walder Frey, as you probably gathered from the title.
Now, it is nigh-certain that a second Red Wedding is being planned by the Brotherhood without Banners, at the wedding of Devan Lannister and a Frey girl. Tom O'Sevens opening up Riverrun and letting in the BWB and their allies to massacre the wedding guests.
But how will Walder Frey die? I have heard ideas that he intends to be at this wedding, to see his family establish their power, in the castle of his former lieges, who he betrayed.
However, he is about 92 and you wonder whether he'll be able to make the trip across half the Riverlands. More likely he is going to be at the Twins when the news of the massacre hits him.
Around the same time that this happens news may hit him from the North, that Stannis has destroyed the Freys he sent with Roose Bolton to secure the North. It may be that the combined news could kill him from shock.
The show does have him face what feels a more fitting end, being killed by Arya. Him just dying of like a shock may be anti-climatic. But it's something to think about.
Either way, it is incredibly unlikely that he makes it through The Winds of Winter. That will really have the Freys being picked off by everyone who hates them, including each other.
He may of course just die naturally, but that would be even more anti-climatic. Probably a sense of justice needs to be him seeing the Red Wedding, which he thought would be his Rains of Castamere moment that would establish Frey power, backfire on his House.
Like I say, merely speculation. If he does go to Riverrun, he is not returning to the Twins.
If he dies at the Twins you may even get the Freys throwing round accusations that another Frey whacked the old weasel.
Ah well, him going should give us a sense of catharsis and we'll probably hear of lots of people celebrating his death and saying that he'll be burning below.
Or freezing below if we're going Dante.
And one of his sons is already going to a frozen lake!
Along with many others!
I made a few gifs of the Battle of Ice from that film and I am going to use them!
