[[Eddard Stark]]'s older brother [[Brandon Stark (Son of Rickard)|Brandon]] took Barbrey's virginity and she hoped to marry him, but his father Lord [[Rickard Stark]] was advised by his [[Maesters|maester]] that it would be more beneficial to forge an alliance with [[House Tully]], Lords Paramount of the Riverlands, by betrothing Brandon to [[Catelyn Stark|Catelyn Tully]]. Barbrey has hated maesters ever since. Brandon and his father died at the outbreak of [[Robert's Rebellion]], but the planned alliance between the Starks and Tullys continued with the marriage of Catelyn Tully to Brandon's younger brother Eddard.

In the books

In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Barbrey Ryswell is the head of House Dustin and the widow of Lord Willam Dustin, who fought alongside Ned Stark during Robert's Rebellion.

She usually leads House Dustin to act in concert with House Ryswell, which is still ruled by her own father Rodrik Ryswell.

Lady Dustin has wrinkles around her mouth and eyes, but she is still tall, unbent and handsome. Her hair is equal parts brown and grey, wearing it tied behind her head in a widow's knot. She usually dresses all in black, but she sometimes accentuates her attire with vair. While she is intelligent, she has grown into a bitter woman over the years, among other things due to her husband's death.

Lady Dustin was quite fond of her nephew Domeric, and as such loathes Ramsay Snow openly, whom she suspects had a hand in the former's death. Ramsay dislikes Lady Dustin and has malicious intentions toward her, but his father forbids him to harm her.

Lady Dustin holds a grudge against Eddard Stark, even after his demise, for not bringing her husband's bones north with him so she could bury him at his ancestral home.
