Rollam Westerling is the second son of Gawen Westerling, Lord of the Crag, and Lady Sybell Spicer.[3]
Appearance and Character
Rollam Westerling was a dutiful squire to Robb Stark, and his mother Catelyn Stark believed her own son Bran Stark would have been much the same.[4] The boy was respectful, initially kneeling before Catelyn when first introduced before realizing his family members merely bowed. He was hesitant to leave Robb's side to settle into his accommodations after the Westerlings' arrival at Riverrun[5] and complained bitterly when left behind for the wedding of Lord Edmure Tully at the Twins.[6]
