A Feast for Crows

The ward of Lord Gyles refuses Lady Falyse Stokeworth and her husband Ser Balman Byrch shelter at Rosby when they were on their way to King's Landing. [1]

Falyse Stokeworth informs Cersei Lannister that when Lord Gyles dies by rights Rosby should come to House Stokeworth as her lady mother was aunt to his second wife, third cousin to Gyles.[1] Falyse voices concerns that the ward may even try to claim the Rosby lands and lordship.

After Grand Maester Pycelle informs Cersei that Lord Gyles has died he tells her that he had no children of his body - but did have a ward. Cersei immediately dismisses the ward as not of Gyles’s blood and contrives to seize Rosby’s gold, lands and castle. [3] Pycell attempts to object, telling her again that Lord Gyles had a ward but she informs the hesitant Pycelle to tell the ward that Lord Gyles’s dying wish was that all his lands and wealth go to King Tommen. [3]

A Dance with Dragons

The Rosby inheritance is brought up during the small council meeting in the Red Keep's throne room. According to Grand Maester Pycelle, six claims have been put forward, but the council decides to settle the issue at a later date as they have more pressing matters to deal with.[4] It is not mentioned if Lord Gyles's ward is among the six claimants.
