Editing Robb Stark (section)

==== ''A Storm of Swords'' ====
During an assault in the Westerlands, Robb is wounded and learns of the apparent deaths of his brothers at the hands of his closest friend. Falling ill due to mourning and injury, he is cared for by Lady [[Jeyne Westerling]] and takes her [[maidenhood]]. To preserve Jeyne's honor, Robb marries her, rescinding his previous marriage arrangement with House Frey, causing them to desert his army.

Following King Stannis' defeat at the Battle of the Blackwater, Robb withdraws from the Westerlands and returns to Riverrun to attend the funeral of his grandfather Lord [[Hoster Tully]]. Robb learns that his mother has secretly released Jaime Lannister as an exchange for her daughter Sansa, who remains a [[hostage]] in King's Landing. This leads to the [[mutiny]] of Lord [[Rickard Karstark]], whose two sons were slain by Jaime, forcing Robb to execute Rickard and subsequently lose House Karstark's support. With his army dwindling, Robb tries to repair the alliance with the Freys by bargaining his uncle [[Edmure Tully]] to marry Lady [[Roslin Frey]]. The Freys demand that Robb personally attend the wedding at The Twins as an apology.

Robb learns that King Balon Greyjoy has died and he decides to lead his army to retake the North immediately after the wedding is complete. He soon learns that his sister Sansa has been forcibly married to Tyrion Lannister. To prevent the Lannisters from claiming Winterfell through Sansa's child by Tyrion, Robb, against the opposition of his mother, disinherits Sansa and signs a decree legitimizing his bastard half-brother Jon Snow as his heir if he happens to die with no children, and requests the [[Night's Watch]] release Jon from service. Robb then entrusts the decree to Lord [[List of A Song of Ice and Fire characters#Galbart Glover|Galbart Glover]] and Lady [[List of A Song of Ice and Fire characters#Maege Mormont|Maege Mormont]], sending them to make contact with Lord [[Howland Reed]] so that he can launch a coordinated attack to recapture the strategically crucial [[World of A Song of Ice and Fire#Moat Cailin|Moat Cailin]].

At The Twins, the Northern convoy, who are treated with [[bread and salt]] (thus promised guest rights and safety), are betrayed and massacred by House Frey and [[House Bolton]] during the wedding feast in an event orchestrated by Tywin Lannister, the Red Wedding. Robb is shot by [[crossbow]] bolts multiple times, and then personally murdered by his chief vassal Lord [[Roose Bolton]], who has secretly defected in exchange for [[House Bolton]] gaining dominion over the North from House Stark. After his death, the Freys mutilate Robb's body by sewing the head of his dead direwolf Grey Wind onto his decapitated corpse. His mother, as well as his entire army (save for the Boltons and Freys, a few soldiers who managed to escape), are also murdered.
