A Storm of Swords
When Robb Stark, King of the Trident, comes to the Twins to apologize for breaking his marriage vows, Lord Walder Frey has Jinglebell present when he receives Robb. The king's mother, Catelyn Stark, interprets this as an intentionally insulting breach of courtesy. Regardless, Robb compliments the bravery of Aegon's late father, Ser Stevron.[5] When Walder introduces the women of the Twins to Robb, Lady Joyeuse Erenford restrains Aegon from rising as well.[5]

Quotes about Aegon
—Catelyn Stark's thoughts
Walder: Sire, forgive my Aegon the noise. He has less wits than a crannogman, and he's never met a king before. One of Stevron's boys. We call him Jinglebell.
Robb: Ser Stevron mentioned him, my lord. Well met, Aegon. Your father was a brave man.[5]—Walder Frey and Robb Stark
Catelyn: On my honor as a Tully, on my honor as a Stark, I will trade your boy's life for Robb's. A son for a son.
Walder: A son for a son, heh. But that's a grandson ... and he never was much use.[4]—Catelyn Stark and Walder Frey
—Merrett Frey to Lem
The Red Wedding was the Young Wolf's work. He changed into a beast before our eyes and tore out the throat of my cousin Jinglebell, a harmless simpleton.[10]
