After crossbow men shot Robb, Lord Bolton stabbed Robb in the stomach. The Frey men slaughtered the small Stark host and killed Robb and Catelyn as well. They cut off Robb's head and replaced it with the head of Grey Wind, his direwolf, and threw Catelyn Stark into the river after cutting her throat. This event became known as a cursed happening with other major characters, and caused the Freys much grief following it During this whole event Brynden Tully was able to survive and appeared later on.
- The Red Wedding is a massacre during the War of the Five Kings arranged by Lord Walder Frey as revenge against King Robb Stark for breaking the marriage pact between House Stark and House Frey. During the massacre, King Robb, his wife, Queen Talisa, his mother, Lady Catelyn, most of his bannermen and men-at-arms are murdered following the marriage feast and bedding of Edmure Tully and Roslin Frey. Unbeknownst to most, however, is the fact that the true mastermind of the Red Wedding is Tywin Lannister, who conspired with Frey and Lord Roose Bolton to betray the Northern army in return for clemency and rewards. The breaking of the marriage pact was merely a cover for the massacre.
