Lady Brienne, the sworn protector of the Kingguard of Renly
Baratheon was from the least popular place of Tarth. Her father was the Lord of
Tarth of whom she is the only heir, alive. She is unusually tall and muscular
for a woman by Westerosi standards and developed a taste for martial
activity as a child. Lady Brienne was later sworn for protecting the Stark
children on command of Lady Catelyn Stark.
Brienne is the sole surviving child and heir of Lord Selwyn
Tarth of Evenfall Hall, on the island of Tarth, located in the Narrow
Sea off the coast of the Stormlands. Brienne has grown up to become
skilled at arms and dreams of becoming a knight. Brienne's mother died when she
was so young that she doesn't remember her. She had some siblings but they
all died in childhood. As the sole heir of House Tarth, she posed a
fairly promising marriage prospect for men from other noble Houses, but due to
her physicality and personality has never seriously pursued a marriage alliance
with another House.
To recapitulate, this epic series depicts the struggle of Lady
Brienne to accomplish her vows to Lords and Ladies of the Seven Kingdoms.
