| - Catelyn Tully is the eldest daughter of Hoster Tully, Lord of Riverrun and Lord Paramount of the Riverlands. Her father arranges for her to marry Brandon Stark, the eldest son and heir of Lord Rickard Stark, Lord of Winterfell and Lord Paramount of the North. Catelyn is the oldest of three children, with a younger sister Lysa and a younger brother Edmure. Petyr Baelish is a ward of Hoster Tully. He was fostered at Riverrun and grew up with Catelyn, Lysa and Edmure. When Catelyn gets engaged, Petyr professes his love for her and Catelyn's betrothed Brandon must fight a duel against Petyr. However, Catelyn asks Brandon to spare Petyr's life. Petyr Baelish remains obsessed with her. Brandon's sister is Lyanna Stark and she is betrothed to Lord Robert Baratheon of Storm's End. When word comes of her kidnapping by Prince Rhaegar Targaryen, Brandon rides to the capital to demand Lyanna's return and Rhaegar's death for his crimes. Aerys arrests Brandon for treason and demands that his father come to King's Landing to ransom him. When Brandon Stark and his father Lord Rickard Stark are executed by King Aerys, Catelyn's father then arranges for her to marry the new Lord of Winterfell, Eddard Stark, a virtual stranger to her. He is quiet and reserved, very unlike Brandon. Referred to as "Ned" by those who are close to him, he is stoic and honorable, embodying the values of the North. Lord Jon Arryn of the Eyrie and Lord Paramount of the Vale has been told to turn Eddard Stark and Robert Baratheon over for execution, but instead he joins forces with them in rebellion. Catelyn and her sister Lysa are married in a double ceremony to Eddard Stark and Jon Arryn. Their new husbands are riding off with the Tully bannermen to war against Aerys. It will come to be known as Robert's Rebellion, and Robert Baratheon rules as king for the next 17 years. Catelyn and Eddard conceive on their wedding night and Catelyn is pregnant by the time Eddard leaves. Robb is born before his return. When Catelyn sees Eddard next, he has brought home an infant child with him - his illegitimate son, Jon Snow, his child with an unknown woman. Eddard raises Jon at Winterfell alongside his trueborn children. Catelyn comes to love her husband very much and they have a happy marriage but Catelyn views Jon as a reminder of Eddard's infidelity. What Eddard never told her, however, is that Jon wasn't his biological son, but his nephew. Jon is actually the hidden son of his deceased sister Lyanna Stark and Prince Rhaegar Targaryen. Before she passes away, Lyanna asks her brother to keep her son (Jon) safe from Robert Baratheon. Eddard raises and loves Jon as his own, spending the rest of his life protecting his nephew by claiming him as his own illegitimate son to protect him from Robert Baratheon's fatal wrath. Catelyn never learned this truth during her lifetime. Eddard and Catelyn have five children together: Robb (18-at death), Sansa (18), Arya (16), Bran (15), and Rickon (11-at death).
