Bella's mother was a prostitute from the Peach in Stoney Sept, whose daughter is one of King Robert I Baratheon's bastard children.[1]
History
During Robert's Rebellion, Lord Robert Baratheon hid in the Stoney Sept while Jon Connington's soldiers searched the town for Robert.[2] His last hiding place was the Peach.[3]
According to Leslyn, Robert laid with all of the inn's prostitutes, but his favorite was Bella's mother. Bella is named after the Battle of the Bells,[4] which ended in a victory for the future king.[2]
