Editing Hoster Tully (section)

===Lord of Riverrun===
Following the death of his [[Lord Tully (father of Hoster)|father]], Hoster inherited the rule to [[Riverrun]],{{Ref|ASOS|35}} at some point in or after {{Date|264}}.<ref>''See the [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Lord Tully (father of Hoster)|Lord Tully (father of Hoster)]] calculation.''</ref> Following the [[House Tully|Tully]] funeral customs, Hoster's father was sent down the [[Red Fork]] in a boat, which Hoster was to set aflame by firing a fire arrow. While Hoster missed his first shot, his second arrow found sail.{{Ref|ASOS|35}}

At some point, Hoster attempted to betroth his younger brother [[Brynden Tully|Brynden]] to [[Bethany Redwyne]]. Brynden, however, refused, which began a decades-long feud between the two brothers.{{ref|AGOT|34}} Hoster received other offers for Brynden over the years, including one from Lord [[House Bracken|Bracken]] and one from Lord [[Walder Frey]], but Brynden refused them all.{{Ref|AGOT|71}}

Hoster married Lady [[Minisa Tully|Minisa Whent]], who gave birth to four sons and two daughters. However, only three children (two daughters and a son) survived infancy. Following the death of his two eldest sons, Hoster came to regard his eldest daughter, [[Catelyn Stark|Catelyn]], as his heir, until another son was born to him. Hoster and Minisa had another daughter, [[Lysa Arryn|Lysa]], who was followed by a son, [[Edmure Tully|Edmure]]. Minisa became pregnant a sixth time, but died in childbirth, giving birth to another son who died with her.{{Ref|ACOK|33}} Hoster loved his wife and was deeply saddened by her death,{{Ref|ACOK|33}} still missing her decades later.{{Ref|ACOK|7}}

According to Catelyn, she was Hoster's favourite child.{{ref|ACOK|45}} Lord Tully taught Catelyn how to ride in the [[godswood of Riverrun]],{{ref|AGOT|71}} and she read to him in his [[solar]] when his eyes tired.{{Ref|AFFC|44}} A restless man in his prime, Hoster was often away from home, frequently staying at the [[crossroads inn]].{{Ref|AGOT|28}} His daughters and ward sometimes accompanied him.{{Ref|ACOK|55}} When they did not, Hoster always told Catelyn to wait for him at Riverrun when he left on one of his journeys, which she did.{{Ref|AGOT|63}}

When Catelyn was eight years old, Hoster and Brynden had one of their larger quarrels, during which Hoster called his brother "the black goat of the Tully flock". Brynden, however, pointed out that the sigil of [[House Tully]] was a trout, making him a black fish instead of a black goat. Brynden the Blackfish took a black trout for his sigil since that day.{{Ref|AGOT|34}}
