Does the underlined part mean House Frey did actually abandon the King in the North?

House Frey might have abandoned the King in the North, but the Lord of the Crossing remained the most powerful of Riverrun’s bannermen, and Lothar was here in his stead. (Game of Thrones)

The context is: The King in the North disgraces House Frey by failing to marry one of Lord Frey's daughters the king has once promised to marry. Lord Frey sees this act betrayal. The Lord of the Crossing is Lord Frey.

Hi. Does the underlined part mean House Frey did actually abandon the King in the North?
Thank you.

Yes. Consider this simpler example. eg You might have won an Olympic Gold medal and a Nobel Peace Prize, but you still have to wash your hands before dinner.
