bullet::::- lysa arryn (seasons 1, 4) portrayed by kate dickie. lysa arryn (née tully), currently mistress of the eyrie, is the widow of lord jon arryn. born to the lord and lady of the riverlands, she is the younger sister of catelyn stark, lady of winterfell, and the older sister of lord edmure tully, lord of riverrun. she has grown mentally unstable since the death of her husband, and is convinced that as long as she stays boarded up in the eyrie she will be safe. justice for her husband rarely crosses her mind, unless exacting it doesn't mean bestirring herself or her guards from her castle. she is also overly protective of her son, robin arryn, which has made him a weak and spoiled child. in season 1, lysa sends catelyn a letter suggesting that the lannisters were responsible for the death of jon arryn, which prompts catelyn to investigate. tyrion lannister is later taken before lysa to face justice for attempting to murder bran stark. though tyrion is innocent, lysa appears uninterested in the details and even accuses him of murdering jon. lysa loses when tyrion demands a trial by combat and tyrion's champion, bronn, wins. she later receives word that robb stark is marching on king's landing to rescue ned stark, who has been wrongfully imprisoned, but fails to tell catelyn. catelyn confronts her and pleads for help, but lysa refuses to provide catelyn with more men, since her only concern is robin's safety. by season 3, the vale has remained untouched by the war, and she is betrothed to littlefinger, who travels to the vale to marry her. in season 4, it is revealed that lysa and littlefinger have been having an affair for quite some time, and are the ones responsible for poisoning jon arryn and (though indirectly) joffrey baratheon. when littlefinger returns from king's landing with sansa stark, lysa greets her niece warmly and insists on marrying littlefinger that same day. later, however, lysa accuses sansa of seducing littlefinger, but when sansa insists that she did not, lysa immediately calms down and tells sansa that she is to marry robin. however, lysa catches petyr kissing sansa and angrily confronts sansa about it, threatening to push her through the moon door, but petyr intervenes and pacifies lysa, before telling her that the one woman he only truly ever loved was catelyn, and pushing her through the moon door to her death. her death is ruled a suicide thanks to lies by petyr and sansa.
