A Song of Ice and Fire

  • Lord Petyr Baelish was often invited to dine with Lady Tanda and their daughters. Littlefinger thinks she hopes to marry him to Lollys.
  • Lady Tanda was considered by Littlefinger as a possible ally for him and Lord Eddard Stark to depose the Lannisters from power, just after Robert Baratheon's death.
  • Castle Stokeworth lies near and to the north of King's Landing.
  • From the time Tyrion Lannister arrived at King's Landing, Lady Tanda invited him to several banquets, hoping to arrange a marriage with Lollys.
  • During the riot in King's Landing the day Myrcella departed to Dorne, Lollys Stokeworth was knocked from her saddle and left behind. She was found walking naked after being raped by half a hundred men, who had left her pregnant.
  • Falyse arrived the day before the Battle of the Blackwater with a small troop of men from Castle Stokeworth.
  • Lady Tanda, Falyse and Lollys all spent the Battle of the Blackwater holed up in Maegor's Holdfast.
  • Lady Tanda offered Lollys to Lord Tywin Lannister as a possible wife for Tyrion.
  • Tanda gave a pair of leather boots to King Joffrey I as a wedding present.
  • Lady Tanda fled from the Red Keep when King Joffrey choked to death.
  • After being knighted, Ser Bronn of Blackwater accepted to wed Lollys.
  • After being forbidden by Cersei Lannister to name Lollys' son Tywin, Bronn decided to name him Tyrion in a move that was considered by many a defiance of the Lannisters.
  • Should Lord Gyles Rosby die, according to Falyse, Rosby would come to Stokeworth, since Lady Tanda was an aunt to Lord Gyles's second wife and is a third cousin herself.
  • Cersei enlisted the help of Falyse and her husband Ser Balman in eliminating Bronn. However the plan went awry and Bronn killed Ser Balman instead. He ordered Falyse to leave the castle, which she did and fled back to Cersei begging for men to retake Stokeworth from Bronn. Cersei refused her and instead gave her to Qyburn for use in his experiments.
