In Game of Thrones säsong 2-3, Varför var Freys soldater (möjliga spoilers)?

11

Varning: Spoilers från säsong 2 och säsong 3 nedan:

In season 2 Walder Frey pledges his troops to Robb Stark in exchange for him marrying one of his daughters. He also allows passage over the river. In season 3, Robb Stark wants to take Casterly Rock but he has lost too many troops. So he needs more, and the only one that give him those troops is Walder Frey. But I would think those soldiers should already have been with him.

F: Varför var inte Walder Freys soldater redan en del av Robb Starks armé?

De lämnade när Robb blev gift med Talisa. Men i boken var det en annan tjej, Jeyne Westerling . Från En storm av svärd:

“Your wife is lovely,” Catelyn said when they were out of earshot, “and the Westerlings seem worthy... though Lord Gawen is Tywin Lannister’s sworn man, is he not?”

“Yes. Jason Mallister captured him in the Whispering Wood and has been holding him at Seagard for ransom. Of course I’ll free him now, though he may not wish to join me. We wed without his consent, I fear, and this marriage puts him in dire peril. The Crag is not strong. For love of me, Jeyne may lose all.”

“And you,” she said softly, “have lost the Freys.”

His wince told all. She understood the angry voices now, why Perwyn Frey and Martyn Rivers had left in such haste, trampling Robb’s banner into the ground as they went.

“Dare I ask how many swords come with your bride, Robb?”

“Fifty. A dozen knights.” His voice was glum, as well it might be. When the marriage contract had been made at the Twins, old Lord Walder Frey had sent Robb off with a thousand mounted knights and near three thousand foot. “Jeyne is bright as well as beautiful. And kind as well. She has a gentle heart.”

It is swords you need, not gentle hearts. How could you do this, Robb? How could you be so heedless, so stupid? How could you be so... so very... young.

(Boldade viktiga delar av citatet.)

Frey-männen lovades Robb i utbyte mot att Robb gifta sig med en av Frey-döttrarna. När Robb gick med Talisa istället, slutade det ganska mycket, så Frey-männen gick tillbaka till Walder, precis som Karstarks män lämnade Robb efter att han halshuggade honom.

När Robb lovade att han skulle gifta sig med en av Walters döttrar, gick Freys ihop med de fem konungarnas krig vid Robbs sida.

Det betyder att många Frey-soldater gick med Robb vid kriget. Men Walder behövde några soldater med honom på tvillingarna för att skydda dem.

Vid böckerna nämns också att Walder Frey inte är den mest pålitliga personen. Han vill alltid vara på vinnande sida. Till exempel vid King Roberts uppror gick han till Robert bara efter Robert hade besegrat Rhaegar, vilket innebär att kriget vunnits.

Således kan han ha några reservationer om sitt val av sida. Han kanske inte är säker på att Robb skulle vinna kriget.

This is probably why he betrayed him later and joined the Lannister side.
