Epilogue - A Storm of Swords | A Song of Ice and Fire (ASOIAF)

The Ghosts of Harrenhal: A Song of Ice and Fire Podcast (ASOIAF)

Merrett Frey is lured to a ransom payment by the Brotherhood without Banners. They have his great nephew Petyr Pimple. Upon arrival he learns that his kinsman is dead, and that he’ll be joining him because Catelyn Stark points the finger at him for his involvement in the Red Wedding. Simon and Mackelly are almost as speechless as she is.
Chapter Review:
Merrett Frey heads toward Oldstones with ransom money to secure the release of his great nephew Petyr. He bemoans his rotten luck that has brought him to this juncture. A concussion as a squire means he can no longer fight and was never knighted. As Walder’s ninth son, he’s got no hope of rising very far. But at least he can bring back Ser Ryman’s son and get some favor that way.
He wasn’t even involved in the planning for the Red Wedding. His only role was to get the Greatjon Umber drunk. And even in this he failed. Umber fought like a giant before finally being chained.
When he arrives at Oldstones, he is robbed of the gold by members of the Brotherhood without Banners. Petyr is already dead and Merrett will join them if they can prove he had a hand in the Red Wedding. Merrett knows that there are no witnesses. But the brothers reveal Catelyn Stark, risen from the dead. Lem asks her if she saw Merrett at the wedding and she, unable to speak, nods. They string him up.
