History and Family Relations
According to semi-canon sources, Hoster Tully served in the War of the Ninepenny Kings, making friends with Petyr Baelish`s father, which led to Peytr being fostered at Riverrun.[4] Some time after the war, Hoster tried to betroth his war hero brother Brynden to a lady of House Redwyne, but Brynden would have none of it. This began a decades-long feud between the two. Hoster's wife, Minisa Whent, bore two stillborn sons and two daughters before bearing an heir, Edmure. Finally she died in childbed, trying to give him a second son. Her death deeply saddened Hoster, who never fully recovered. Marriage continued to be a theme of Riverrun when Hoster forbade his daughter Lysa from marrying Petyr Baelish, and ordered her to abort Petyr's child.
At the time of Robert's Rebellion, Hoster's elder daughter Catelyn was engaged to Brandon Stark. After Brandon was killed in King's Landing by fiat of the Mad King, Hoster joined the rebellion and married Catelyn to Eddard Stark, Brandon’s younger brother, and Lysa to Jon Arryn, Lord of the Eyrie. Several of his bannermen such as House Mooton, House Goodbrook and House Darry remained loyal to the Targaryens, so Hoster Tully attacked them, putting entire villages of House Goodbrook to the sword. He then fought in the Battle of the Bells where he was wounded by the Hand of the King, Lord Jon Connington.[5]
In 295 AL, Lord Tully fell ill.[6]
