==In the books==
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, House Merryweather was once a rich and powerful family.
After Tywin Lannister resigned his position as Hand of the King, Lord Owen Merryweather was named the new Hand by Aerys II Targaryen. Aerys stripped the Merryweathers from their lands and exiled Owen for his failure to prevent Robert's Rebellion.
After Robert Baratheon seized the Iron Throne, he restored the Merryweathers' title and some of their lands, but the family's wealth and status has not yet completely recovered.
In A Storm of Swords, Lord Orton and his wife arrive at King's Landing. Following Joffrey's death, Taena is one of the numerous false witnesses who testify against Tyrion.
In A Feast for Crows, the Merryweathers' role in the plotline becomes more significant: Lord Orton is appointed by Cersei as the justiciar of the Small Council, and later is promoted to be the Hand of the King; Taena becomes Cersei's confidante and lover. Following Cersei's downfall, they flee King's Landing and return to Longtable.
