House Webber of Coldmoat

Coldmoat had been the greatest of House Osgrey's four castles until the reign of Maegor I Targaryen, when Lord Ormond Osgrey refused to submit to the king's Laws and lost the castle for it. In time the seat passed to House Webber, who ruled the lands from then on as their own.

Lord Reynard Webber held Coldmoat while Ser Eustace Osgrey, the neighbor whose family had once owned it, was still a young man. Later, under Lord Wyman Webber, friendship between the two houses lived alongside an old envy, since Eustace never stopped eyeing the castle and lands that had once been his family's.

Eustace's younger son, Addam, served as page and squire at Coldmoat and grew up there alongside Rohanne, Wyman's only surviving heir after her brothers died in infancy. When Eustace proposed the two should marry, Wyman turned him down politely, though Eustace heard him laughing about it with his castellan as he left; soon after, Wyman married ten-year-old Rohanne to another of his squires, a boy of twelve.

The grudge between Coldmoat and the Osgreys deepened with the First Blackfyre Rebellion: Lord Wyman Webber stood for King Daeron II, while Eustace Osgrey backed the pretender Daemon I Blackfyre. In 196 AC the two fought on opposite sides at the Battle of Prado Hierbarroja, where Rohanne's young husband died, along with Addam, the squire she had loved. Rohanne was a widow at ten, but she wept only for Addam, and blamed Eustace for his death ever after.

The Blackfyres' defeat brought punishment for House Osgrey and reward for House Webber. King Daeron II granted Lord Wyman and his heirs the Jaquel stream, from its source in the Colinas de la Herradura down to Lago Frondoso, along with the right to hunt in the Osgreys' wood and fell twenty trees a year. Over the generations that followed, the Webbers cleared both banks of the stream for pasture.

Wyman married Rohanne again at thirteen, this time to a man of fifty-five who died soon after of a chill; she gave birth to a frail son who lived only three days. Her third husband, Ser Simon Staunton, choked to death on a chicken bone, and the fourth, Ser Rolland Uffering, died in the Great Spring Sickness; a daughter born to one of the two never saw her first birthday.

Wyman, still bent on securing an heir, tried to marry Rohanne to his own castellan, Ser Lucas Inchfield, but she refused. On his deathbed he decreed that Rohanne must remarry within two years or lose Coldmoat to a cousin, Ser Wendell Webber; rumor soon cast her as a witch and poisoner of husbands and children, the Red Widow, a name she chose not to fight because it served her well enough.

In 209 AC, now Lady of Coldmoat, Rohanne faced accusations of sheep theft against a smallfolk man from the Osgrey lands; tired of Eustace's complaints, she had the man drowned in a sack in her castle's moat, reopening the feud between the two houses. At the same time she dealt with Lord Stackhouse, who claimed the Webbers' Colinas de la Herradura, with Ser Clifford Conklyn's claim on Lago Frondoso, and with cattle the Durwells stole from her lands.

Her own castellan, Ser Lucas Inchfield, was trouble in his own right, driving off nearly every suitor who came near Coldmoat under the shadow of rumor about her. Even so, Rohanne kept the Webbers' fields and orchards standing, raised five hundred black-nosed sheep and cattle, and bred some of the finest horses in the Reach.

In the second year of a summer drought, in 211 AC, Lady Rohanne had a dam built on the Jaquel to water Coldmoat's lands and fill its moat, cutting the flow to the Osgrey lands downstream. When Ser Bennis of the Brown Shield, Eustace's sworn sword, attacked one of Rohanne's men after spotting the works, Eustace sent Ser Duncan the Tall to pay blood money and ask that the dam come down; Rohanne refused both and produced a royal document proving her right to the stream, which also exposed Eustace's old treason with the Blackfyres.

The quarrel worsened when the Osgreys' wood burned and Eustace blamed Rohanne's people for the fire; neither would let Lord Rowan judge the dispute, so it was settled by trial by combat between Ser Duncan, Eustace's champion, and Ser Lucas Inchfield, Rohanne's champion, who demanded her hand if he won. Duncan killed Lucas in the river and nearly drowned doing it, but his courage was enough to reconcile the two lords: that night they talked of their families, and the next day they married, so that Rohanne kept Coldmoat.

It is not known exactly when Ser Eustace Osgrey died as lord of Coldmoat, only that it was before 219 AC, by which time Lady Rohanne had already married Gerold Lannister — whether before or after he became Lord of Casterly Rock in 213 AC is unclear. She had four children with him: the twins Tywald and Tion, Tytos, born in 220 AC, and Jason, born in 229 AC.

Lady Rohanne vanished under circumstances that were never explained in 230 AC, less than a year after giving birth to Jason.
