Lyonel Corbray is the Lord of Heart's Home and the head of House Corbray, an ancient but impoverished family.[5] He has two younger brothers, Ser Lyn and Ser Lucas.[6]
Character
Lyonel is over forty years old.[3] Ser Lyn Corbray dislikes his elder brother.[6]
History
When Lord Corbray was wounded during the Battle of the Trident, Lyonel carried his father back to the maesters in the rear, while his younger brother, Ser Lyn Corbray, grabbed their father's sword, Lady Forlorn, and led a charge against the Dornishmen. When Lord Corbray died, Lyonel inherited the titles and lands while Lyn received Lady Forlorn. Lyonel felt he was cheated of his birthright.[6]
Lyonel's wife bore a sickly child who died in infancy, so Lyonel's heir is his brother, Lyn.[4]

Quotes
Lord Lyonel Corbray is well disposed toward my rule, but his brother goes his own way.[6]
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]
Alayne: My lord father tells me your brother's new wife is with child.
Lyn: Lyonel sends his regrets. He remains at Heart's Home with his peddler's daughter, watching her belly swell as if he were the first man who ever got a wench pregnant.[4]—Alayne Stone and Lyn Corbray
