Aegon Frey

Not to be confused with Aegon Frey (son of Aenys).

Aegon Frey, known at the Twins as Jinglebell, was the household's fool: an older man with the mind of a child, son of Ser Stevron Frey and grandson of Lord Walder Frey.

Dressed in bells and bright colours, he was thought harmless and treated as a curiosity of the Twins' court, with no one suspecting the part he would come to play in one of the war's most remembered episodes.

Chapter 1

The fool of the Twins

Books only

Aegon was close to fifty: thin, stooped, with long grey hair. He resembled his grandfather Walder Frey closely, though his eyes were larger and gentler than the old lord's.

He was regarded as simple and without malice, and treated as such within the household. He wore fine blue wool and grey satin, with a crown and necklace hung with small brass bells that gave him his nickname.

Chapter 2

The arrival of the King of the Trident

299 ACBooks only

When Robb Stark arrived at the Twins to apologise for breaking his betrothal, Lord Walder had Jinglebell present at the reception. Catelyn Tully, the king's mother, read it as a deliberate slight against her son.

Even so, Robb spoke well of the courage of the late Ser Stevron, Aegon's father. Later, as Walder presented the women of the household, Lady Joyeuse Erenford kept Aegon from rising alongside them.

Chapter 3

The Red Wedding

299 ACBooks only

At the wedding feast of Edmure Tully and Roslin Frey, Aegon danced to "Alysanne", covered his ears when Greatjon Umber sang "The Bear and the Maiden Fair", and kept stealing food from other guests' plates as the musicians played.

When the killing began, he hid under a table, but Catelyn seized him and threatened to kill him unless Walder freed Robb, already struck by several arrows. Walder answered that he would sooner lose a simple-minded grandson than a son.

After Roose Bolton stabbed Robb, Catelyn cut Aegon's throat, and Ser Raymund Frey did the same to her moments later. Before being hanged by the Brotherhood Without Banners, Merrett Frey would cite Aegon's death as justification for that night.
