"He's dead. He was my son. My sister was three days ago. My husband the day before that."
―Old woman prisoner[src]

An old woman prisoner was a prisoner of Harrenhal.

Biography[]

Game of Thrones: Season 2[]

She is captured by Ser Gregor Clegane and imprisoned in Harrenhal with her family. Her sister, husband and son are tortured to death by the Tickler at Harrenhal.[1]

Polliver beats her for asking for a crust of bread.[1]

In the books[]

In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, among the captives that Gregor Clegane takes to Harrenhal there is a wizened old woman. Arya Stark overhears her complaining one night "It's not just, it's not. We never did no treason, the others come in and took what they wanted, same as this bunch." Her friend disagrees, saying "Lord Beric did us no hurt, though, and that red priest with him, he paid for all they took". The old woman answers disdainfully "Paid? He took two of my chickens and gave me a bit of paper with a mark on it. Can I eat a bit of raggy old paper, I ask you? Will it give me eggs?". She looks about to see that no guards were near, and spits three times. "There's for the Tullys and there's for the Lannisters and there's for the Starks."

The old woman is not mentioned afterwards.

Notes[]

  1. In "Winter Is Coming," which takes place in 298 AC, Sansa Stark tells Cersei Lannister that she is 13 years old and Bran Stark tells Jaime Lannister that he is 10 years old. Arya Stark was born between Sansa and Bran, making her either 11 or 12 in Season 1. The rest of the Stark children have been aged up by 2 years from their book ages, so it can be assumed that she is 11 in Season 1. Arya is 18 in Season 8 according to HBO, which means at least 7 years occur in the span of the series; therefore, each season of Game of Thrones must roughly correspond to a year in-universe, placing the events of Season 2 in 299 AC.
