BiographyEdit

BackgroundEdit

Joyeuse Erenford is 15 years old and the eighth wife of Lord Walder Frey.^[1]

Season 1Edit

Catelyn Stark talks to a knight of House Frey at the Crossroads Inn. He tells her that Lord Walder is about to celebrate his 90th nameday and has taken another wife in celebration of the event. Tyrion Lannister finds this notion amusing, at least until the Frey knight agrees to help Catelyn take Tyrion prisoner for the attempted murder of her son Bran.^[2]

Arriving at the Twins, Catelyn greets Lord Walder Frey and his young, 15-year-old wife, Lady Joyeuse, whom Lord Walder gropes even as he speaks. Walder dismisses his family, including Joyeuse, whilst he and Catelyn haggle on what price the Starks will pay to be allowed to cross the river.^[3]

AppearanceEdit

Behind the scenesEdit

Kelly Long has been a stand-in for Emilia Clarke, Michelle Fairley, Lena Headey, and Sophie Turner. In Season 2, Long began also working full-time for Game of Thrones' art department.^[4]

In the booksEdit

In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Lady Joyeuse is slightly older than in the TV show, aged sixteen. House Erenford is a minor vassal house of the Riverlands, sworn to House Frey.
