Alys Arryn

Alys was born the daughter of Lord Jasper Arryn, with two brothers, Jon and Ronnel. She married Ser Elys Waynwood, and together they had nine children, eight girls and one boy. She died shortly after giving birth to the last of them.

The only son and two of the daughters died as children, victims of a run of misfortune. The eldest of the sisters who reached adulthood married Ser Denys Arryn and bore him a son. Another was left scarred by the smallpox that had killed her sisters, and went on to take vows as a septa. A third was seduced by a sellsword; Ser Elys disowned her for it, and when the bastard son she bore died as an infant, she joined the Silent Sisters.

The next daughter married Lord Elesham, lord of Los Senos, but the marriage produced no children: she proved barren. Another was travelling to the Riverlands to marry into House Bracken when the Burned Men seized her along the way, and the wedding never took place. The youngest of all married the landed knight of House Hardyng; they had a son, Harrold, and she died.
