I was just arguing with someone over the Red Wedding and they claimed Walder Frey wasn't breaking guest right when he had the thousands outside his castle murdered as they weren't under his roof and weren't given food by him. What are your thoughts on that? Also, Happy New Year!

Utterly untrue, Lord Walder invited them onto his lands to participate in the feast, that’s an offer of hospitality. He intended to have them killed from the very beginning. That’s clear motive right there, he intended to lure them into his clutches using the cultural norm of hospitality. That’s definitely breaking guest right.



However, if said person requires a more direct effort, remember that Walder Frey had set up rigged pavilions that collapse upon those under them. So he offered them shelter with the intent to murder. That’s a roof he set up specifically to fall on them. If they continue to argue it after that…I’m not sure what else will convince them.

Thanks for the question, Classicist.
