Recent Events
A Feast for Crows
Lord Petyr Baelish, a former customs officer at the port of Gulltown, brokers a marriage between the merchant's daughter and the childless Lyonel Corbray, Lord of Heart's Home, after the passing of Lyonel's first wife.[1] Lyonel, the head of impoverished House Corbray,[4] receives a significant dowry for marrying a commoner. It is a well-attended wedding, with Lord Benedar Belmore, Lord Gerold Grafton, Lord Jon Lynderly, Ser Symond Templeton, Lord Waxley, and Lady Anya Waynwood present.[3]
Petyr reports that Lyonel is pleased with his wife and with her dowry.[3]

Lord Lyonel and the new Lady Corbray do not attend the tourney for the Brotherhood of Winged Knights at the Gates of the Moon, remaining at Heart's Home instead where they are expecting a baby. The prospect of a child angers Lyonel's brother and heir, Ser Lyn Corbray, as this pushes him down in the line of succession.[1]
Quotes
Innocence and experience make for a perfect marriage.[3]
We have had a letter from your father. He is on his way home, he says, and hopes to see his darling daughter soon. He writes that Lyonel Corbray seems well pleased with his bride, and even more so with her dowry. I do hope Lord Lyonel remembers which one he needs to bed.[3]
The second Lady Corbray was sixteen, the daughter of a wealthy Gulltown merchant, but she had come with an immense dowry, and men said she was a tall, strapping, healthy girl, with big breasts and good, wide hips. And fertile too, it seems.[1]
