Recent Events
A Game of Thrones
Lord Cerwyn comes to Winterfell when Robb Stark calls his banners, being accompanied by his daughter Jonelle, instead of his son Cley.[5]
A Clash of Kings
While his father Lord Medger Cerwyn is a captive at Harrenhal, Cley attends the harvest feast at Winterfell in his place, bringing two dozen lances with him. He brings the news to Winterfell of Stannis Baratheon being a king and of his letter concerning the illegitimacy of Queen Cersei Lannister's children.[3] During the harvest feast Cley dances with Beth Cassel.[6] He becomes Lord of Cerwyn[7] when his father dies at Harrenhal from his wounds sustained at the Battle of the Green Fork.[4]
Now lord of his House, Cley brings three hundred men to join Ser Rodrik Cassel on his march to clear the ironmen from the Stony Shore[8] and Torrhen's Square.[9]
Rodrik stops at Castle Cerwyn before launching the final attack to take back Winterfell from Theon Greyjoy's ironmen.[10] Cley comes to the Winterfell walls with a peace banner, announcing to Theon that Rodrik wishes to parley with him. After Ramsay Snow's treachery, Cley is slain by Bolton men at the battle at the winter town in front of the castle, and his corpse is presented to Theon with an arrow in his eye.[11]
Osha considers bringing Bran and Rickon Stark to the Cerwyns after the sack of Winterfell, but the dying Maester Luwin explains that Cley is dead.[12]
A Storm of Swords
Cley is succeeded by his older sister, Lady Jonelle Cerwyn.[7]
Quote
She did remember Lord Cerwyn, though. His lands had been close to Winterfell, so he and his son Cley had often visited.[4]
