(282 AC) It’s been six moons since scandal shook the Seven Kingdoms since Lady Lyanna Stark refused his father’s chosen suitor, broke the betrothal only to marry in less than a moon with the infamous Prince Oberyn Martell.
Lord Tully had been looking for a good match for her eldest daughter, but the Lord, as well as the daughter, had quite high expectations for them to settle with a Lord within the Riverlands. There had been tactful inquiries about the heir of the Vale, Elbert Arryn, but it seems he had already set his eyes on some other Lady. Instead of his nephew, Lord Arryn had suggested Lord Tully to turn his quest to the Stormlands, where the “jilted” Robert Baratheon and his younger brother, Stannis, were still unmarried and of a proper age for his daughter.
When her father announced Lady Catelyn he had matched her with Robert Baratheon, she found herself too overwhelmed by mixed feelings to express joy. Lord Baratheon had going on for him as much as he had against him. Catelyn pitied him for the shame Lyanna Stark had brought upon his scandalous betrothal, she knew of his fame of being handsome and daring, and that as Lord of Storm’s End, he was an excellent match for her. Unfortunately, after Lady Lyanna had ditched him, lots of loose tongues had spoken of Robert’s lecherous ways and whispered about bastards children which Lady Catelyn found unsavoury at best. She also had heard that he had claimed to actually love the Lady he had been betrothed to, which left Catelyn in a mortifying position as second best.
Nonetheless, Catelyn knew her duty as a Lady and daughter and she will submit to her father wishes.
