==Recent Events== ===''A Storm of Swords''=== Ser [[Rolph Spicer]] serves as [[castellan]] of the [[Crag]], where his sister Sybell is lady of the castle. With Sybell's husband, Lord [[Gawen Westerling]], a captive at [[Seagard]],{{ref|ACOK|Appendix}} Rolph yields the castle to [[Robb Stark]], [[King in the North]], during the [[storming of the Crag]]. [[Jeyne Westerling]], Sybell's elder daughter, treats Robb's wounds after the battle, and the two youths sleep together after Robb learns of the alleged deaths of Robb's younger brothers, [[Bran Stark|Bran]] and [[Rickon Stark|Rickon]], at [[capture of Winterfell|Winterfell]]. Robb marries Jeyne to preserve her honor. This breaks Robb's alliance with [[House Frey]], however, as Robb had promised to wed a Frey.{{ref|ASOS|14}} Sybell and her kin are part of King Robb's entourage when he returns to [[Riverrun]] from the [[westerlands]].{{ref|ASOS|14}} Sybell is terrified of [[Grey Wind]], Robb's [[direwolf]].{{ref|ASOS|14}} Sybell provides a posset to Jeyne every morning, claiming it will make her daughter fertile.{{ref|ASOS|20}} Sybell remains at Riverrun with Jeyne, [[Eleyna Westerling|Eleyna]], and [[Rollam Westerling]] when Robb goes to the [[Twins]] for the wedding of Lord [[Edmure Tully]].{{Ref|ASOS|45}} Robb is betrayed and murdered by the Freys and [[House Bolton|Boltons]] at the [[Red Wedding]].{{ref|ASOS|51}} In the aftermath of the massacre, Sybell is pardoned by the [[Iron Throne]] and Rolph is named [[Lord of Castamere]].{{Ref|ASOS|72}} According to a semi-canon source, Rolph and Sybell had conspired with the Lannisters to trick Robb into marrying Jeyne, thereby breaking his alliance with the Freys.{{ref|AWOIAF|Sybell Spicer}}{{ref|AWOIAF|Rolph Spicer}} ===''A Feast for Crows''=== Jeyne fights her mother when Sybell takes the little crown given to her by Robb, leaving a scab on the girl's forehead.{{ref|AFFC|44}} Sybell and her three surviving children are kept inside Riverrun during the [[siege of Riverrun|siege of the castle]] by [[House Frey]] and Ser [[Daven Lannister]]. Lord [[Gawen Westerling]] worries his family will be killed in response if the Freys were to hang the captive [[Edmure Tully]]. After arriving at the siege to resolve it, Ser [[Jaime Lannister]] offers to exchange Edmure for Sybell and the children, but the offer is refused by Ser [[Brynden Tully]].{{ref|AFFC|38}} After Edmure negotiates the surrender of Riverrun to Jaime, Sybell sits with Jaime. Having discretely negotiated with Lord [[Tywin Lannister]], her liege and Jaime's father, she made sure there was no heir from her daughter's union. Sybell states she had been promised matches for her sons and daughters. Jaime explains that Jeyne can wed after waiting two years, thereby preventing any child of hers from possibly being Robb's.{{ref|AFFC|44}} Pleading ignorance about the Red Wedding, Sybell asks about her eldest son, Ser [[Raynald Westerling]], who accompanied Robb to the Twins. Tywin had told Sybell that Raynald "should have joy of him" with a bride from [[Casterly Rock]]. Jaime assumes this to mean his cousin [[Joy Hill]], and Sybell is offended at the idea of a Westerling marrying a [[bastard]].{{ref|AFFC|44}} According to a semi-canon source, Joy being Raynald's promised bride is a misunderstanding on Jaime's part{{Ref|AWOIAF|Joy Hill}} as Tywin already arranged for Joy to marry one of Lord [[Walder Frey]]'s natural sons.{{Ref|ASOS|53}} Jaime makes his contempt for Sybell plain and warns her to stay out of his sight for the remainder of her time at Riverrun. When Sybell leaves with her husband and children the next morning for the west, Jaime orders Ser [[Forley Prester]] to have Jeyne killed if she attempts to escape.{{Ref|AFFC|44}} After the Westerlings depart, Jaime learns that Raynald is assumed dead after falling into the [[Green Fork]] during the Red Wedding.{{ref|AFFC|44}}
