ASoS 35: Catelyn 474

Hoster Tully is finally dead. Edmure is now lord of Riverrun. He can't shoot an arrow to light the funeral boat; add that to his list of failures along with sending Tywin Lannister's army to King's Landing and stopping Robb from ambushing him instead.

But at least the Freys are willing to reconcile. As long as Edmure marries their presumably ugly sister sight unseen. But he reluctantly agrees to it anyway. I'm sure it will turn out to be a terrible strategic blunder; Edmure is one of those characters with an aura of doom about him.

Robb is desperate to get to Winterfell since he has learned from the Freys that it is burned and Theon has gone walkabout.
