Editing Rohanne Webber (section)

==History==
===Early life===
[[File:Rohanne Webber by Wyatt Abernathy.jpg|thumb|left|350px|Rohanne Webber by Wyatt Abernathy © ]]
Rohanne was the only living child of Lord [[Wyman Webber]]. She had five or six brothers, but they all died in infancy. Later, rumors claimed she had killed her brothers because they stood in the way of her succession.{{Ref|TSS}}

During her childhood, Rohanne was fond of young [[Addam Osgrey]], who served as her father's page and later [[squire]] at [[Coldmoat]]. The two had an innocent romance, though it never went past a few kisses. Because of this relationship, Addam's father and their neighbor, the [[landed knight]] Ser [[Eustace Osgrey]], proposed that they marry, but Lord Wyman refused him. Instead, Wyman had Rohanne married to a different squire of her father's.{{Ref|TSS}}

During the [[First Blackfyre Rebellion]], Rohanne's father and husband fought in the [[Battle of the Redgrass Field]] in {{Date|196}}, on the side of [[House Targaryen]]. Rohanne's husband, twelve years old, was slain in battle, and she became a widow for the first time at the age of ten. Addam also died during the battle, fighting on the side of [[House Blackfyre]] as his father's squire. Rohanne wept only for Addam, not for the husband she barely knew; she blamed Ser Eustace for his death, and held a grudge against the knight thereafter.{{Ref|TSS}}

At age thirteen, Rohanne married her second husband, a fifty-five-year-old man who soon died of a [[disease|chill]]. Six months after his death, she gave birth to their son, who was weak and died within three days.{{Ref|TSS}} Rohanne's third husband, Ser [[Simon Staunton]], choked to death on a [[chicken]] bone, and her fourth husband, Ser [[Rolland Uffering]], died of the [[Great Spring Sickness]]. Rohanne bore a daughter by either her third or fourth husband, but the girl did not live a year.{{Ref|TSS}}

Because of the unfortunate deaths of her husbands and children, Rohanne was called the Red Widow, and the [[smallfolk]] accused her of [[poison]]ing her husbands and being a [[witch]] who sold her unborn babies to the [[Lord of the Seven Hells]] so that he would teach her the [[magic|black arts]].{{Ref|TSS}} Various kin of of Rohanne's husbands came to Coldmoat with the marriages, and remained living at the castle even after the men died. These included [[Septon]] [[Sefton Staunton|Sefton]], Rohanne's good-brother through her husband Simon Staunton, and Lady [[Helicent Uffering]], sister of Ser Roland.{{Ref|TSS}}

Lord Wyman still wanted grandsons to continue the Webber line, so before his death, he attempted to marry Rohanne to his [[castellan]], Ser [[Lucas Inchfield]], but she refused him. Wyman then stated in his will that Rohanne had two years to marry after his death. If she remained unwed after that time, Coldmoat would be granted to her cousin, Ser [[Wendell Webber]]. On his deathbed, Rohanne's father charged Lucas to scare off unworthy suitors.{{Ref|TSS}}

In the two years that followed, Lucas took Wyman's instruction to mean ''all'' suitors, threatening to fight any man who came to Coldmoat. The behavior of "the Longinch", in addition to the rumors concerning the deaths of Rohanne's husbands, caused the number of suitors to be lower than would be expected for her beauty and status. Some rumors even claimed that she was barren. Nevertheless, Rohanne did have several suitors, including [[Cleyton Caswell]] and [[Simon Leygood]], both rather persistent, though she did not care for them. Another suitor was Ser [[Gerold Lannister]], who sent her flattering letters from [[Casterly Rock]], but Rohanne did not believe he was willing to leave the [[westerlands]] and his position at the seat of his brother, Lord [[Tybolt Lannister]].{{Ref|TSS}}

In {{Date|209}}, not long after Rohanne became the [[Lady of Coldmoat]], a [[smallfolk|peasant]] of [[House Osgrey]]'s villages, [[Dake]], was accused of stealing sheep from House Webber's neighboring lands. Rohanne sent her [[knight]]s to seize Dake and bring him to Coldmoat for punishment. When Ser Eustace Osgrey arrived at Coldmoat to demand Dake's release, he learned that Rohanne had him sewn into a sack with rocks, which was sunk in the moat of Coldmoat. Eustace then swore a holy vow that he would never return to Coldmoat again, except to take possession of it.{{Ref|TSS}}

===Fifth marriage===
In {{Date|211}}, Lady Rohanne, now twenty-five years old, continued to rule [[Coldmoat]]. As it was the second year of a severe [[Westeros#Climate|summer]] drought, she had her people build a dam on the [[Chequy Water]] in order to irrigate her lands and fill Coldmoat's namesake moat. However, this blocked the stream from reaching Osgrey lands. Ser [[Bennis of the Brown Shield]], a [[sworn sword]] of Ser [[Eustace Osgrey]] of [[Standfast]], saw the dam being built and assaulted [[Wolmer]], one of her workers. Eustace feared that Rohanne would kill Bennis, per the incident with Dake. Eustace sent Ser [[Duncan the Tall]], another of his sworn swords, to Coldmoat in order to pay a [[blood price]], an old tradition from the days of the [[Kings of the Reach]], and to request that Rohanne take the dam down. On the way there, [[Aegon V Targaryen|Egg]], Duncan's [[squire]], recommended that he offer compliments to Lady Webber, though Duncan was doubtful she would accept them.{{Ref|TSS}} 

At Coldmoat, while Rohanne was practicing archery, Ser [[Lucas Inchfield]] led Duncan to believe that Lady [[Helicent Uffering]] was Rohanne, much to the amusement of the people in the yard. Duncan was surprised when he met the actual Rohanne, having assumed from the rumors of "the Red Widow" that she was old and ugly. However, Rohanne was amused and intrigued by Duncan, and allowed Dunk and Egg audience.{{Ref|TSS}}

[[File:Dunk_and_Rohanne.jpg|thumb|right|350px|Rohanne and [[Duncan the Tall]]'s farewell, by Mike S. Miller for ''[[The Sworn Sword]]'' [[The Hedge Knight (comics)|graphic novel]]]]

While she dressed, Septon [[Sefton Staunton|Sefton]] told Duncan about Lord [[Wyman Webber]]'s will and the dearth of suitors, and that Rohanne had only until the new [[moon]] to marry in order to keep her seat. In their audience, Rohanne suggested that Duncan leave Eustace and join her service, but he refused. When they discussed the issue of the dam, Duncan said that the Chequy Water belonged to [[House Osgrey]], as Eustace had told him. However, Rohanne had Maester [[Cerrick]] show Duncan a document sealed by [[Iron Throne|the crown]], declaring [[House Webber]]'s possession of the Chequy Water and revealing that Eustace had been a [[traitor]]ous supporter of the [[House Blackfyre|Blackfyres]]. Duncan recalled that Eustace had told him about Rohanne's childhood relationship with his son [[Addam Osgrey|Addam]], and tried to appeal to her for his sake. Rohanne became furious at the mention of Addam's name, however, and slapped Duncan, splitting his lip. Rohanne further rejected the blood price, demanding that Bennis be brought to her to have his nose slit as a punishment, or she would come to Standfast the next day with "fire and sword".{{Ref|TSS}}

That night, Duncan dreamed that a naked Rohanne was shooting him with arrows, and that he kissed her. He awoke to find that [[Wat's Wood]] was on fire. Eustace believed that Rohanne had set the fire to weaken his lands, and planned to use a peasant militia to attack her lands. However, Duncan realized all the [[smallfolk]] would die in the conflict and sent them home, telling Eustace he would represent him at the confrontation.{{Ref|TSS}}

Lady Rohanne brought her forces to the Chequy Water, the border of their lands, where she was met by only Duncan, Eustace, and Egg. Eustace accused Rohanne of setting the fire, but she denied all complicity and threatened to to have her crossbowmen shoot them all. Duncan and Rohanne parlayed in the middle of the stream, where he revealed that his squire was actually Aegon, a prince of [[House Targaryen]]. Though this mitigated her fury, Rohanne would not accept Duncan cutting his own cheek as payment for Bennis's attack on her man, and she demanded an apology for Eustace's slander about the fire. They agreed to a [[trial by combat]] between Duncan and Rohanne's champion, Ser Lucas, who demanded that Rohanne marry him once he won.{{Ref|TSS}}

Duncan prevailed in the combat in the Chequy Water, killing Lucas, but in the process Duncan drowned in the stream. Maester Cerrick revived Duncan with the [[ironborn]]'s [[kiss of life]]. Nevertheless, Duncan's valor reconciled Eustace and Rohanne. Eustace allowed Rohanne to enter his lands, and she visited Addam's grave at Standfast; when she began to weep, Eustace comforted her. They spent the night talking of their families, and married the next day, which allowed Rohanne to keep Coldmoat.{{Ref|TSS}}

During Duncan's attempts to defuse the feud between Eustace and Rohanne, he and she developed a certain attraction. After he learned that Rohanne had married Eustace, and then never visited him while he was recovering from his injuries, Duncan felt rejected. On the day he left Coldmoat, Rohanne offered Duncan a place as her [[captain of the guards]], but he refused. She then offered him one of her [[horse]]s as an apology and to give him something to remember her by, a courser mare with some [[Dornish sand steed]] ancestry called [[Flame]]. Duncan refused that as well, saying the horse was too good for him. At the conclusion of their argument, they kissed passionately, and Duncan cut off Rohanne's famous braid to keep to remember her by.{{Ref|TSS}} Unlike Duncan, Egg did accept the young palfrey that Rohannne had gifted to him{{Ref|TSS}} and eventually named it [[Rain]].{{Ref|TMK}}

In {{Date|212}}, while Duncan was attending the [[Wedding tourney at Whitewalls|wedding tourney]] at [[Whitewalls]], he thought of Rohanne and Eustace, and wondered if they ever thought of him. At the wedding feast, Duncan briefly fell asleep, and dreamed of Rohanne again.{{Ref|TMK}}

===Lady Lannister===

It is uncertain when Ser Eustace Osgrey died, though it was before {{Date|219}}.<ref>''See the [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Eustace Osgrey|Eustace Osgrey]] calculation.''</ref> Rohanne eventually married [[Gerold Lannister]], though whether before or after he became [[Lord of Casterly Rock]] in {{Date|213}} is unknown. According to Maester [[Yandel]], Gerold loved Rohanne.{{Ref|TWOIAF|7|6|1}} She had four sons with him, twins [[Tywald Lannister|Tywald]] and [[Tion Lannister|Tion]], [[Tytos Lannister|Tytos]] (born {{Date|220}}), and [[Jason Lannister (son of Gerold)|Jason Lannister]] (born {{Date|229}}). Lady Rohanne disappeared under mysterious circumstances in {{Date|230}}, less than a year after giving birth to Jason.{{Ref|TWOIAF|7|6|1}} 

Through Tytos, Rohanne was the grandmother of Lord [[Tywin Lannister|Tywin]], Ser [[Kevan Lannister|Kevan]], Lady [[Genna Lannister|Genna]], Ser [[Tygett Lannister|Tygett]], and [[Gerion Lannister]]. Through Jason, she was the grandmother of [[Damon Lannister (son of Jason)|Damon]], Lady [[Joanna Lannister|Joanna]], and Ser [[Stafford Lannister]], as well as [[Lynora Hill]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|10|3}}  

According to a semi-canon source, in {{date|240}} Lady [[Ellyn Reyne]] named her first daughter, [[Rohanne Tarbeck]], after Rohanne Webber, in order to spite the widowed Lord Gerold.<ref>''[[The World of Ice & Fire]]'': The Westerlands (unabridged).
