Sent to resolve the siege of Raventree, Ser Jaime Lannister intends to take a member of House Blackwood as a hostage to ensure that Lord Tytos Blackwood remains loyal to King Tommen I Baratheon. Jonos Bracken, Lord of the Stone Hedge and Tytos's rival, suggests to Jaime that he take Bethany as her father dotes on her. Jaime takes Hoster Blackwood as a hostage instead, and he also orders Jonos to send one of his own daughters to attend Queen Regent Cersei Lannister at court in King's Landing.[3]
