Books

Mathis Rowan is Lord of Goldengrove and is the head of House Rowan. He is married to Bethany Redwyne and has three children by her.[1]

Character and Appearance

Mathis is stout and florid[2] and clean-shaven.[3] According to Ser Kevan Lannister, he is sensible, prudent and well liked.[4]

Recent Events

A Game of Thrones

Lord Mathis found Dareon in bed with his daughter. She was two years older than him and he claimed it was consensual, however, under the eyes of her father, she claimed rape and Dareon was sent to the Wall.[5]

A Clash of Kings

At the outset of the War of the Five Kings, Mathis Rowan joins his liege lord Mace Tyrell in declaring for King Renly Baratheon and marches with his army to Bitterbridge, where he encounters Catelyn Tully.[2] After the parley with King Stannis Baratheon beneath the walls of Storm's End, Mathis advises Renly to leave Stannis to siege formidable Storm's End and instead go on to take King's Landing. His opinion is overruled, however, as Renly decides to deal with Stannis before the Lannisters. Mathis is placed in command of the center in the coming battle with Stannis's forces.[6] Before the battle can take place, Renly is assassinated.

Mathis Rowan is among the lords who, like Lord Tyrell, do not side with Stannis.[7] He is one of the leaders of the Reach that joins Lord Tywin Lannister at the headwaters of the Blackwater Rush, marching alongside him until Tumbler's Falls where Mace Tyrell waits with an even larger force. They embark on barges and sail to just outside King's Landing, where they take Stannis's army in the rear.[8] After the Battle of the Blackwater is done, Lord Rowan is made an advisor of the small council.

A Storm of Swords

As a guest at King Joffrey Baratheon's royal wedding, Mathis gives the king a red silk tourney pavilion as a wedding gift.[9]

A Feast for Crows

After the death of the Hand of the King, Lord Tywin Lannister, Ser Kevan Lannister mentions Lord Mathis as a possibility to fill the vacant position.[4] Instead, Queen Cersei Lannister chooses the tractable Ser Harys Swyft, and removes Mathis from the council. Mathis rides with Lord Mace Tyrell to besiege Storm's End, still held by Stannis's man Gilbert Farring.[10] When Mace hears that his daughter Margaery has been arrested by the High Sparrow, he returns to the capital and leaves Lord Rowan in command of the siege. Ser Jaime Lannister thinks Mathis would make an able Hand of the King.[11]

A Dance with Dragons

The Golden Company lands in the Stormlands and quickly seizes several castles, gaining a beachhead for Aegon VI. Their next target is Storm's End, where Mathis still holds the command.[12]
