Brienne of Tarth

―Brienne

Ser Brienne of Tarth is a knight of House Tarth and the only daughter of Lord Selwyn Tarth.

Prior to the Battle of Winterfell, Brienne was knighted by Ser Jaime Lannister, making her the first woman of the Seven Kingdoms to become a knight.

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. Though few men in Westeros would find her attractive, she is unusually tall and muscular for a woman by Westerosi standards and developed a taste for martial activity as a child.

Brienne grew up to become skilled at arms and dream of becoming a knight, an unusual aspiration for a Westerosi woman.
