Edmure Tully
Hoster's son and heir, brave and warm-hearted and forever a little out of his depth, beloved by the smallfolk of the Riverlands he means to protect.
A soul of House Tully, born at Riverrun.
The fuller tale
Season Three
In Walk of Punishment ÔÇö Four arrows, three misses, one uncle out of patience. Riverrun sends Lord Hoster down the river burning; Edmure can't hit the boat. Walder Frey's price arrives at Riverrun: an apology, Harrenhal, and Edmure at the altar.
Season Six
Jaime frees Edmure to take Riverrun bloodlessly; the Blackfish dies sword in hand, offstage and unbowed.
How it ends for them

Where the page and the screen part
The books are somewhat kinder to his generalship and considerably harder on his ending. Book-EdmureÔÇÖs battle of the fords is a genuine feat of arms ÔÇö TywinÔÇÖs host thrown back at every crossing ÔÇö undone only by the trap nobody told him about; several readers have noted that if Robb had shared his plans with his own castellan, the war might have gone otherwise. After yielding Riverrun in the books, Edmure is not freed but transferred: he is last seen being carted off toward Casterly Rock, a permanent guest of the Lannisters, with Jeyne Westerling traveling under the same guard. No Dragonpit speech awaits him in the published books ÔÇö just the long road west, and a Frey wife and son still at the Twins.
Their journey
Where the two tellings send them to the same place the road runs whole; where they part, the screen keeps the left and the books the right.
