Edwyn is the son of Ryman Frey. Edwyn married Janyce Hutner together they had one child Walda Frey.History: Edwyn is married to Janyce Hunter, and they have a daughter, Walda. Edwyn has always been at odds with Black Walder Frey, considering his brother a threat due to his position as next in the line of succession. Black Walder is widely believed to have slept with Janyce.Recent Events: When Ser Stevron Frey dies following the wounds he received in the Battle of Oxcross, his son, Ser Ryman, becomes heir of Lord Walder Frey. Learning at Winterfell from Maester Luwin about Stevron's death, the cousins Big Walder and Little Walder Frey discuss the line of succession in House Frey and note that Ryman's son Edwyn is now second in line to inherit the title of Lord of the Crossing.When Robb Stark arrives at the Twins for the wedding of Lord Edmure Tully and Roslin Frey, Edwyn accompanies his father, Ryman, and his brothers, Black Walder and Petyr Pimple, to welcome the King in the North. Robb's direwolf, Gray Wind, receives them with hostility, angering the Freys. Dacey Mormont asks Edwyn for a dance during the wedding feast, but she is refused. Robb's mother, Catelyn Stark, slaps Edwyn after noticing he wears mail under his silk. The Freys then betray the Starks and Tullys in the Red Wedding.While on his way to Oldstones to ransom Petyr after he has been taken hostage by the brotherhood without banners, Merrett Frey worries about Ryman or his sons Edwyn and Black Walder becoming Lord of the Crossing. Merrett would prefer Petyr to succeed instead, but the outlaws hang Petyr and Merrett in vengeance for the Red Wedding.When Ser Jaime Lannister arrives to end the siege of Riverrun, his cousin, Ser Daven, complains about Edwyn and his kin. Because his father is drunk, Edwyn represents the Freys during the war council, but he is met with hostility by the riverlords and Jaime. Edwyn suggests that archers attack Ser Brynden Tully, the castellan of Riverrun, with arrows smeared with night soil. Still, the proposal is dismissed by Lord Karyl Vance and Ser Lyle Crakehall, who consider such an approach ignoble. Angered that his son, Ser Marq, is a prisoner at the Twins, Lord Clement Piper challenges Edwyn to a duel, but Walder Rivers and Jaime intervene. Edwyn declares that everyone who went to the Red Wedding was a traitor, but he is reminded by Jaime that House Frey started the war on Robb's side, making the Freys twice the traitors the Pipers are. Jaime dismisses Ryman from Riverrun and puts Edwyn in charge of the Frey forces at the siege. While returning to the Twins, Ryman is hanged near Fairmarket by outlaws from the brotherhood, and he is unmourned by Edwyn, the new heir of Lord Walder. Even though Black Walder is away at Seagard, Edwyn suspects his brother played a role in their father's death. Edwyn insists that Black Walder has spies in his camp, but Jaime suspects that Edwyn has people spying on Black Walder as well. Jaime orders Edwyn to inform Lord Walder that all prisoners from the Red Wedding will have to be released, dismissing Edwyn's suggestion that this would imply recompensation. When Jaime inquires about the fate of Ser Raynald Westerling, Edwyn informs him that he has probably died in the Green Fork following wounds he received after trying to set Grey Wind free.
