The Red Wedding was a massacre that took place during the War of the Five Kings in the Game of Thrones series. It was arranged by Lord Walder Frey as revenge against Robb Stark, ruling King in the North, for breaking his marriage pact with House Frey and marrying Talisa Maegyr instead. The wedding feast of Edmure Tully, Lord of Riverrun, and Roslin Frey at the Twins was used as a cover for the massacre. During the feast, the Freys and Boltons slaughtered Robb Stark, his mother Catelyn Stark, and many of his bannermen, including the Manderlys, Starks, and Boltons. The Red Wedding was a violation of the sacred laws of hospitality, and it ruined House Freys reputation. The event was a significant turning point in the Game of Thrones series, and it enraged the common folk and pit them against the Boltons and Freys in later seasons.
