Game Of Thrones: 10 Worst Things The Starks Have Ever Done

4. Arya Killed Almost Every Single Frey

In Westeros, killing is inevitable, particularly in a war so long and brutal as the War of the Five Kings. The massacre that was the Red Wedding is not something that is seen so often, however.

Naturally, after witnessing the slaughter of her people first hand, Arya wanted revenge for her brother, mother, and every northerner that was killed at the Twins. When she returned to Westeros after her time in Braavos with the Faceless Men, she went straight to visit the Lord of the Crossing.

Clearly, Walder Frey was one of the minds behind the Red Wedding, and there was a certain satisfaction when he got his comeuppance at the hands of Arya. However, this is not where she finished. Using Walder's face, Robb's sister went on to poison almost the entire Frey family with no hesitation.

While this anger and rage is understandable, Arya had no way of knowing which Freys had a hand in planning the Red Wedding, who knew about it before it happened, and who may not have even took part at all.

Over the years Arya's family has done some bad things, but would it have been fair for every single Stark, innocents included, to pay for the actions of just a few?
