Lord Hoster wished to make advantageous marriages for his children. He betrothed his eldest daughter, [[Catelyn Stark|Catelyn]] to [[Brandon Stark]], the heir to Lord [[Rickard Stark]] of [[Winterfell]], when she was only twelve years old.{{Ref|AGOT|6}} He began negotiations with Lord [[Tywin Lannister]], aiming to betroth his younger daughter [[Lysa Arryn|Lysa]] to [[Jaime Lannister]], the heir to [[Casterly Rock]].{{Ref|ASOS|11}} When Jaime spent a fortnight at [[Riverrun]] in his early teens, Hoster took care to seat him next to Lysa with every meal.{{Ref|AFFC|33}} By {{Date|281}}, Tywin had invited Hoster to travel to [[King's Landing]], where Tywin resided as [[Hand of the King]], to discuss the [[Dowry|dower]].{{Ref|ASOS|11}} However, King [[Aerys II Targaryen]] named Jaime to his [[Kingsguard]] before the agreements were finalized, thereby preventing the betrothal from being made.{{Ref|ASOS|11}}{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II}} When Tywin suggested his younger son, the deformed dwarf [[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion]], in Jaime's stead, Hoster declined, informing Tywin that he wanted a "whole man" for his daughter.{{Ref|ASOS|19}}

Meanwhile, Lysa had fallen in love with Hoster's ward, [[Petyr Baelish]], over the years,{{Ref|ASOS|80}} while Petyr had fallen in love with Lysa's older sister, Catelyn,{{ref|ASOS|29}} who did not return his feelings.{{ref|AGOT|18}}{{Ref|ACOK|55}} Lysa had already lost her virginity to Petyr, though Petyr had been so drunken he was convinced he had slept with Catelyn.{{Ref|ASOS|80}} When, Catelyn's betrothed, Brandon, visited [[Riverrun]] in {{Date|282}},<ref>''See the [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Events#Riverlands|Petyr Baelish's duel against Brandon Stark]]''</ref> Petyr challenged him for Catelyn's hand{{ref|AGOT|18}} following the announcement of the wedding date.{{Ref|AWOIAF|Petyr Baelish}} Brandon won [[duel between Brandon Stark and Petyr Baelish|the duel]], during which Petyr was grievously wounded.{{ref|AGOT|40}} In the fortnight that Petyr was allowed to remain at Riverrun to recover some of his strength, he and Lysa slept together again, this time conceiving a child.{{ref|ASOS|80}}

Once Petyr was strong enough, Hoster sent him back to the [[Fingers]] in a litter.{{Ref|AGOT|40}} When Lysa discovered her pregnancy, she informed her father, hoping that Hoster would allow her to marry the father of her child. Hoster, however, considered his former ward to be too low of birth,{{ref|ASOS|68}} and with the help of [[Maester]] [[Kym]] gave his daughter [[moon tea]] without informing her what the drink was, and so aborted her child.{{ref|ASOS|80}}{{Ref|awoiaf| Petyr Baelish}} Lysa nearly died from the experience.{{ref|awoiaf| Lysa Tully}}
