The Siege of Riverrun

Riverrun remained the last stronghold defyin the king’s peace. Jaime had to take the castle by any means…

“The siege drags on. The Blackfish sits inside the castle, we sit outside in our camps. Bloody boring, if you want the truth. Tully ought to make a sortie, to remind us all we’re still at war. Be nice if he culled some Freys too.”

“Frey has raised a gibbet. Every day at dawn he brings forth EdmureTully, drapes a noose around his neck, and threatens to hang him unless the castle yields. The Blackfish pays his mummer’s show no mind, so come evenfall Lord Edmure is taken down again. “

Jaime Lannister and the Siege of Riverrun

The Siege of Riverrun was a single disaster. Being the last Stark loyalist in whole Westeros, Brynden Tully, the Blackfish, still hold the castle in dead king Robb’s name. He would not surrender to the massive army of Houses Lannister and Frey.

Every morning, the Freys make Edmure Tully stand up at the gallows in front of the castle. They threaten to hang the true Lord of Riverrun if his uncle does not surrender. The Blackfish did not care. It was ridiculous. And while all that happened, Genna Lannister’s wimpy husband Emmon Frey lamented that the castle should be his.

Jaime Lannister decides to take fortune into his own hand. He parleys with the Blackfish. “You must be blind as well as maimed, Ser”, the old knight said. “Lift your eyes, and you will see the direwolf still flies above our walls.”

Jaime had to bargain with Edmure. As true Lord, he could convince the garrison to surrender. Jaime ordered him to be bathed and clothed before he went to see him. He made him an offer: “If you give the castle to house Lannister, your life will be spared. If not… Your Frey bride is pregnant? You'll want your child, I expect. I'll send him to you when he's born. With a trebuchet."

“Somebody get these guys some pie.”
