Lady Rohanne Webber, better known as the Red Widow, was the Lady of Coldmoat and head of House Webber during the reign of King Aerys I Targaryen. She was the daughter of Lord Wyman Webber.[2] Later she married Lord Gerold Lannister and became Lady of Casterly Rock.[3]

Appearance and Character

Lady Rohanne was short (4'11"), slim, and had strawberry-blond red hair and green eyes. She had a dimpled chin, a snub nose, and freckles. She usually kept her hair bound in a braid that reached down to her thighs, and frequently played with it. She tried hard to appear ferocious to other lords and knights.[2]

History

Early Life

During her childhood, Rohanne was fond of young Addam Osgrey, who served as page and later squire at Coldmoat. The two had an innocent romance, though it never went past a few kisses. Because of this relationship, a match was proposed by Addam's father Ser Eustace Osgrey to Rohanne's father, Lord Wyman, but was refused. Rohanne was then married at ten years old to her father's new twelve-year-old squire. The squire was slain during the Battle of the Redgrass Field in 196 AC, fighting for House Targaryen. Addam also died during the battle, fighting for House Blackfyre as his father's squire, causing Rohanne to develop a grudge against Ser Eustace.

Rohanne was married again at 13 to a 54-year-old man, who soon died of a chill. Six months later, she gave birth to their son, who was weak and died within three days. Her third husband, Ser Simon Staunton, choked to death on a chicken bone. Her fourth husband, Ser Rolland Uffering died of the Great Spring Sickness. Rohanne bore a daughter by either her third or fourth husband, but the girl did not live a year. Because of the unfortunate deaths of her husbands and children, Rohanne was called "The Red Widow", and the smallfolk accused her of poisoning her husbands and being a witch who sold her unborn babies to the Lord of the Seven Hells so that he would teach her the black arts.

Before his death, Lord Wyman Webber attempted to marry her to his castellan Ser Lucas Longinch, but she refused him. Out of spite, the Longinch would then scare off Rohanne's other suitors -- at least, those who were not frightened away by the dark rumors surrounding her. One of her suitors was Ser Gerold Lannister, who sent her flattering letters, but Rohanne did not believe he was serious.[2]

The Sworn Sword

Rohanne's father, Lord Wyman, dictated in his will that she must be married before the second anniversary of her father's passing. If not, Coldmoat and its lands would go to her cousin, Wendell Webber. When Ser Duncan the Tall came to Coldmoat on behalf of Ser Eustace Osgrey to pay the blood price for one of Osgrey's men assaulting hers, the offer was rejected. Lady Rohanne brought her forces to the Chequy Water, where she was confronted by Duncan, Eustace, and Egg. She accepted a trial by battle, choosing Lucas Longinch as her champion. Lucas was killed in the trial, and the valor of Duncan reconciled Eustace and Rohanne. They married, allowing her to keep Coldmoat.[2]

During Dunk's attempts to defuse the feud between Eustace and Rohanne, he and she developed a certain sexual attraction. When he woke after nearly being killed in the trial by combat and found she had married Eustace and never visited him while he was ill, he felt rejected. Rohanne tried to offer him a place in Coldmoat as captain of her guards, but he refused the offer. She then offered him one of her horses to give him something to remember her by, but Dunk refused that as well. At the conclusion of their argument, they kissed, and Dunk cut off her famous braid to keep it to remember her by.[2]

Rohanne owned a courser with some Dornish sand steed ancestry called Flame, which she tried to gift to Ser Duncan the Tall,[2] and a young palfrey that she gifted to Egg[2] and that was eventually named Rain.[4]

Lady Lannister

Rohanne later married Lord Gerold Lannister and had four sons with him, twins Tywald and Tion, Tytos, and Jason Lannister. She was the grandmother of Tywin, Kevan, Gerion, Tygett, Genna, Joanna, Stafford, and Damon Lannister. Lady Rohanne disappeared under mysterious circumstances in 230 AC, less than a year after giving birth to Jason.[3]

Notes:
  1. In 298 AC, it has been roughly ninety years ago since Gowen and Tya were wed, placing their marriage around 208 AC. Therefore Tya was a contemporary to Lords Damon (d.210 AC) and Tybolt (d.212 AC).
