Character
Gwynesse is seven years older than her brother Rodrik.[1]
History
Gwynesse's husband died during the sea battle off Fair Isle during Greyjoy's Rebellion in 289 AC.[1] Following his death, Gwynesse returned to Ten Towers, where she has remained since. One of the towers of the castle was renamed the Widow's Tower in her honor. She believes that the castle should be hers since she is older than Lord Rodrik Harlaw, and constantly reminds her brother of this.[1]
