Lady Coryanne Wylde was a member of House Wylde during the early reign of King Jaehaerys I Targaryen.[1]

History

Coryanne Wylde was the daughter of Lord Morgan Wylde of the Rain House. At a young age, she was deflowered by a "surly lad" from the stables. A Caution for Young Girls describes him as a handsome boy her own age; the account of the maester of the Rain House paints him as a pox-scarred varlet of thirty, distinguished by a "male member as stout as a stallion's." He was gelded shortly after, and Coryanne was confined to her chambers, where in 48 AC, she gave birth to a bastard son, sent off to be fostered by a castle steward at Storm's End. Few beyond the walls of the Rain House knew of her shame.[1]

In 49 AC, when the Hand of the King, Lord Rogar Baratheon, and Lady Alyssa Velaryon attempted to undo the secret marriage of King Jaehaerys I and his sister-wife Queen Alysanne, which remained unconsummated. Lady Alyssa planned on sending women to Dragonstone as a household for Alysanne, but in truth the ladies' mission was to try and persuade Alysanne to annul the marriage. It was rumored that Lord Rogar or his brother, Ser Borys, placed Lady Coryanne among these ladies, but with the instruction to bed the king, thus angering Alysanne into undoing the marriage. If this was the case, the attempt failed.[1]

In 50 AC, Coryanne eloped with the married Ser Howard Bullock, the younger son of the commander of Dragonstone's garrison. A fishing boat carried them to Driftmark, where they took ship to Pentos, and then to the Disputed Lands, where Ser Howard joined the Free Company. He died in Myr in 53 AC from a fall from his horse.

The book A Caution for Young Girls is alleged to have been authored by Lady Coryanne. It details a life of "sin, suffering, and slavery" - in the words of Archmaester Gyldayn - in which Coryanne finds herself as handmaid to a queen, the paramour of a young knight, a camp follower in the Disputed Lands, a serving wench in Myr, a mummer in Tyrosh, the "plaything" of a corsair queen in the Basilisk Isles, a slave in Volantis, the handmaid of a Qartheen warlock, the mistress of a pleasure house in Lys and ultimately a septa in the Starry Sept of Oldtown, where she sets down the story of her life as a warning to young maids.[1]
