I think the more likely scenario is Bronn seizing Rosby in the name of his wife, Lollys Stokeworth, since she’s a 3rd cousin, once removed of the late Lord Rosby and Rosby was also married to a 1st cousin of Lollys’s Or maybe it will be a show down ho down throw down between the Lannister forces, Olyvar Frey and the Blackwater-Stokeworth faction
We're all expecting a Frey Civil War to be this grandiose plot with multiple moving parts, but really - wouldn't it be more fitting George's style if Lord Walder just keels over from natural causes at say, a Lannister-Frey wedding at Riverrun? And then his various descendants, a gaggle of self-interested weasels, paranoid over the Brotherhood without Banners coming for them, instantly come apart at the seams, accusing each other of poisoning him? Then draw steel and start having at one another in the hall? All so the Brotherhood, who actually did infiltrate the wedding, can enter the hall thinking they're going to have this coup de grace moment, only to find the Freys themselves did their work for them?
@@danielhall6578 Made me think of Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, where the hapless protagonists keep showing up five minutes after much scarier criminals have killed each other off, and walk off with the loot not believing their luck.
Idk why but Frey civil war just makes me think of both sides angrily staring at one another from opposite towers of the twins and sending their men to fight on the bridge
I love all the personal heraldry, thank you Lord Haven. And double thanks for Genna not dying, 2nd best Lannister only behind Goldenhand the Just. This is super interesting, House Frey is far too big to end in a Red Wedding style event, especially with how many factions there are but a Civil War could definitely clips some branches in the old family tree
Even if we don't get to see a civil war play out on the page, I'd love a Small Council scene where they mention the two keeps of The Twins are at odds with each other.
I feel like GRRM is going to somehow end up with Big Walder running the Twins, it's just a matter of what needs to happen for that to occur, like Stannis capturing the boy and installing him as a puppet down the line.
Nahh its no fun if it happens as a loophole, he has to become the *legit* Lord of the Twins due to sheer carnage, backstabbing and dynastic collapse. (My definition of "legit" is appropriately fuzzy - some level of strategic alliance is allowed, I just don't want to see him suddenly leapfrog thirty capable claimants by Royal Decree).
8:47 this would be another interesting test of Sansa’s theme of imagery. Would she buy Black Walder being behind the Red Wedding, or would she finally wisen up a bit and see thru such a ploy?
A third party better tell her this person was the main plan person for the red wedding. The question is which fray has a guilty conscience for the red wedding?
If this were to actually occur in either The Winds of Winter or A Dream of Spring (most likely the Frey kinstrife will continue on into A Dream instead of starting there) then it will literally live up to the classic saying by French philosopher, François Fénelon: "All wars are civil wars because all men are brothers."
Great video mate, but let’s be honest here, given how many people want their entire family dead, no Frey is going to inherit the Twins, the Twins will go to Edmure as a second seat, whose children will eventually inherit both Riverrun and the Twins.
Thank you Lord Haven for giving us an amazing series of Frey videos! I absolutely love the complexity of this house and I am grateful for your hard work. God bless.
I have feeling G.R.R Martin based Black Walder off the Black Douglas from the Scottish wars of independence. Both are called black, excellent warriors, both commit heinous massacres, Black Walder helps Red Wedding, while Black Douglas leads a massacre and kills unarmed men in a church during Mass, which is arguably worse than breaking guest right, because no blood is to be shed in the House of God. I guarantee you if Red Wedding happened in a Sept, it would have been so much worse.
That is considering things in the Veil don't go south before the army can get out to battle. If the avalanche theory or the Invasion of the Mountain Clans happens, the Riverlands would have to sort themselves out, and If the BWB with Lady Stoneheart go with the "RedWedding 2.0" in Riverrun, the Frey end could arrive faster than with a Civil War. Either way, I hope Olyvar gets Rosby and helps Roslyn
Man I love your Frey videos I also love all the custom sigils you came up with for each potenial Frey faction and considering that some kind of Frey civil war the only variable be its scale definitely happening makes me all the more certain that if truck kun every sends me to Westros and I’m in the Riverlands I’m sprinting out of that kingdom Did laugh a bit when it was brought up who the Riverlands will support going forward at this point I think any support the Riverlands could offer is purely symbolic XD I also laughed at the part where you said Emmon had “loyal” vassals and while watching it occurred to me as something to consider I if a civil war and Vale invasion does break out with Genma being the real head of the Red Freys she might say sod it and take her branch of the family back to the Westerlands and another thing to consider about the Vale houses is despite having links to the Freys with how hated the Freys are would the oh so noble Vale houses want to highlight their connection to any Frey Personally just hope a bunch of the “good” Freys gather with the Crakehall Freys with Lady Gatehouse Ami at Darry and just sit out the Frey implosion and bunker down to our last the batshit crazy brotherhood without banners
8:22 It’s also important to point out that Sansa is distantly related to the Waynwoods, since her great-grandaunt Jocelyn Stark’s eldest daughter, an unnamed Lady Royce, married into House Waynwood (so much so that Anya could be the daughter of this unnamed Royce).
Let’s go!!! It never rains but it pours: you release this while I was commenting on Quinn the GM’s new rating of viewpoint characters-which is cracked!-he has Arya 16th and Davos 14th or something close. Still very worth watching though. Your Frey content is endlessly entertaining, because of your terrific art! It’s perfect for enjoying the Freys. But seriously, Quinn the GM has greyscale. We need to help him. -A Theory of Ice & Fire on quora
That theory definitely sounds like something that can be done by Baelish. Like, use the paper as an excuse, outsiders as a powerbase, install his rule without direct confrontation with Lannister house while they are weak, then once obtained control, switch sides for young grif or stannis, so he can reinstate Starks with Sansa informal control. Question is, how can he reinstate someone in North. Usage of this Frey dispute is a rather smart way to get the riverlands, so yeah. But that's just not enough for littlefinger's ambitions
I think it would be sixth faction: Big Walder/ Stannis Supporters. I think after battle of Winterfell Boltons and most Freys in the North, like Hosteen, would die, but Big Walder would be taken captive and after that Stannis would say something like: Ok, you are going with us to the Twins., you would be new, loyal lord of the Crossing.
6:11 I should point out that the claim of ill birth comes from the dispossessed and now deceased Falyse Stokeworth (the Lady of Stokeworth Bronn tossed out), and knowing her personality it’s entirely possible (likely even) that said claim is an insult against the Freys. The phrase could also be more literal. Rosby woman are known to have small frames and great difficulty in childbirth. Ill birth in this instance could mean that Olyvar’s birth was heralded by some tragedy or hardship, and it’s highly likely that Bethany Rosby died as a result of the birth of her only daughter Roslin (the aforementioned wife of Edmure).
If we never get the Winds of Winter, my heqd cannon is that the entire Frey line gets extinguished and The Twins is given to a northern house extending the border of The North gurther south
How many civil wars have started over an overabundance of heirs? Ya know, the Ottoman tradition of newly crowned sultans immediately commiting fratricide might have been brutal, but it did keep the internal peace.
Is the Frey Civil War gonna happen fellas?

Getting kinda annoying
I dig it.
I hereby bestow upon you the title of: Freytasy Haven
fantasy frey-ven
Even if the Rosby heir is someone else, Olivar could still create a powerbase at Rosby to overthrow them and have himself named Lord.
I think the more likely scenario is Bronn seizing Rosby in the name of his wife, Lollys Stokeworth, since she’s a 3rd cousin, once removed of the late Lord Rosby and Rosby was also married to a 1st cousin of Lollys’s
Or maybe it will be a show down ho down throw down between the Lannister forces, Olyvar Frey and the Blackwater-Stokeworth faction

I was thinking something along this line too I'm pretty sure Walter will die of natural causes
so it just turns into a free for all like that one scene in LOTR the return of the king movie with the orcs just killing each other indiscriminately?
@danielhall6578 I hadn't thought of it like that specifically, but YES!
@@danielhall6578 Made me think of Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, where the hapless protagonists keep showing up five minutes after much scarier criminals have killed each other off, and walk off with the loot not believing their luck.
You just solved it
Babe wake up New Fantasy Haven Frey video just dropped
Lowkey, the Frey Civil War should be a book in and of itself.
Idk why but Frey civil war just makes me think of both sides angrily staring at one another from opposite towers of the twins and sending their men to fight on the bridge
Love the recoloured Sigils for each of the factions. Very nice touch.

What makes you to think so ?
0:23 blood is thicker than Walder
The coat of arms you made for all the different branches are so good.
as Preston Jacobs fan im happy more people are talking about this also keep up the good work love your videos
It's gotta be my fave theory for TWOW by far. I just love everything about it.
The Frey Civil war is one of my favorites theories from Preston Jacobs, and the idea of the Frey destroying each other is great
8:47 this would be another interesting test of Sansa’s theme of imagery. Would she buy Black Walder being behind the Red Wedding, or would she finally wisen up a bit and see thru such a ploy?
A third party better tell her this person was the main plan person for the red wedding. The question is which fray has a guilty conscience for the red wedding?
She dosent need to guess , Roslin Perwyn and Oliver can tell her
Fun side-quest for GRRM to consider in the next books. Ty for the content. Mad respect for the persistence/quality of the research and theories.
If this were to actually occur in either The Winds of Winter or A Dream of Spring (most likely the Frey kinstrife will continue on into A Dream instead of starting there) then it will literally live up to the classic saying by French philosopher, François Fénelon: "All wars are civil wars because all men are brothers."
“So, uh, I just wanted to get the gang together early in my tenure to say… yo.”
- Edwyn Frey probably
Ah yes.....the Frey Haven has uploaded again.....about the Freys.....and Freys dying.....👍
Nothing more tragic than Frey on Frey violence. Sorry autocorrect that was supposed to say “hilarious”
Great video mate, but let’s be honest here, given how many people want their entire family dead, no Frey is going to inherit the Twins, the Twins will go to Edmure as a second seat, whose children will eventually inherit both Riverrun and the Twins.
Nah , this isnt the show , house frey is to numerous to be wiped out , and to defeat them you need to convince some of the to change sides
He is riding the hous frey train to the bitter end and im here for it.
hail to the late lord haven
Thank you Lord Haven for giving us an amazing series of Frey videos! I absolutely love the complexity of this house and I am grateful for your hard work. God bless.
WE ARE BLESSED MORE FREY CONTENT. A FREYMIRACLE
"We've run through every single Frey" 😳
"We stand together, separately."
I would like to nominate Fantasy Haven as the true lord of the twins
Mate.. you've gone frey crazy.. freyzy!!
I have feeling G.R.R Martin based Black Walder off the Black Douglas from the Scottish wars of independence.

I am addicted to your videos man, keep it going.
Fantasy haven is dropping non stop bangers! Without a doubt my favorite schizo thrones creator!
A little Frey to start the day
I Love how emmon looses His sword and dives for it to pick It Up again 😅
I love all the frey videos. Before all of them I couldn’t tell you a lot about them but now I know everything.
That is considering things in the Veil don't go south before the army can get out to battle. If the avalanche theory or the Invasion of the Mountain Clans happens, the Riverlands would have to sort themselves out, and If the BWB with Lady Stoneheart go with the "RedWedding 2.0" in Riverrun, the Frey end could arrive faster than with a Civil War. Either way, I hope Olyvar gets Rosby and helps Roslyn
Everytime Walder Frey has a new descendant, Fantasy Haven uploads one new Frey video!
My favorite Frey channel uploads another Frey video, awesome.
Haven: black walder sleeps with his cousin
All of westeros: and
The north: we marry nieces to uncles up here
idk why but I love turn the Rosby's Red being turn into Frey Blue, it makes like like the coats of arms better
I JUST finished Red Weeding 2.0 and then this dropped. Bingo
Amazing. No words. Simply amazing
Fantasy haven will now exclusively upload frey content thank you for your cooperation
another frey peak video, haven your content is so good !!!
I'm all for Frey's meeting untimely ends...even from themselves. And I'd like to see more of Black Walder and his shady shenanigans
Man I love your Frey videos I also love all the custom sigils you came up with for each potenial Frey faction and considering that some kind of Frey civil war the only variable be its scale definitely happening makes me all the more certain that if truck kun every sends me to Westros and I’m in the Riverlands I’m sprinting out of that kingdom
Did laugh a bit when it was brought up who the Riverlands will support going forward at this point I think any support the Riverlands could offer is purely symbolic XD
I also laughed at the part where you said Emmon had “loyal” vassals and while watching it occurred to me as something to consider I if a civil war and Vale invasion does break out with Genma being the real head of the Red Freys she might say sod it and take her branch of the family back to the Westerlands and another thing to consider about the Vale houses is despite having links to the Freys with how hated the Freys are would the oh so noble Vale houses want to highlight their connection to any Frey
Personally just hope a bunch of the “good” Freys gather with the Crakehall Freys with Lady Gatehouse Ami at Darry and just sit out the Frey implosion and bunker down to our last the batshit crazy brotherhood without banners
I love the Frey videos, House Frey is my favourite house
Crusader kings has taught me that you should never have more than 2 legitimate heirs.

This was great
ive been waiting for this video omg
Merry Freymas!
8:20 nah he's immortal

8:22 It’s also important to point out that Sansa is distantly related to the Waynwoods, since her great-grandaunt Jocelyn Stark’s eldest daughter, an unnamed Lady Royce, married into House Waynwood (so much so that Anya could be the daughter of this unnamed Royce).
Omg yes!!!! Literally my favourite theory 😊

It’s very interesting to see the Frey Civil War as another factor on the Lannister downfall (that most likely will happen).
@3:40 A Mountain fell on the last 2 male Darrys
Black Walder have a Valyrian long sword down there
5:11 “Mayhaps” 👀
Oh Hail the Freys
Something tells me that Lame Lothar is gonna end up the last man standing.
I like the theory that Black Walder has been fathering Frey's for some time
No way the Freys hold the twins at the end. House Frey and Lannister are done.

How many civil wars have started over an overabundance of heirs? Ya know, the Ottoman tradition of newly crowned sultans immediately commiting fratricide might have been brutal, but it did keep the internal peace.
