Just For Fun:

the average age of a Walder "Frey" is 19½ years old. this does not take into account Walders whose ages are vague estimates.

with Lord Walder (an outlier who should not have been counted) Excluded, the average Walder is 9 years old.

the average "Walda" is 10/11 years old.

in addition to those named above, ASOIAF has four other "Walders": 2 historic Ser Walders from the reign of Daeron II, of Houses Woodmere & Stackspear; the last known Lord of House Tarbeck, Lord Walderan; and the Objectively Best Walder in the series, Walder of Winterfell (16~ y/o).

#house frey #the many walders frey #valyrianscrolls #there is foreshadowing hiding here somewhere i'm sure of it #lord walder alleges that all these walders & waldas are named to curry his favour #this generally rings true but then you get fair walda & the complete absence of her father walton from any house gossip #which instantly made walton my 2nd favourite frey (to speculate on) #poor walder of winterfell did not deserve his name to be so besmirched by association #the one true walder is not even a frey #red wedding mentions #winterfell murder mysteries mention #just for fun trivia
