Lord Shawney was the head of House Shawney during the reign of Kings Daeron II and Aerys I Targaryen.[1]
Character
Lord Shawney was older than Lord Costayne, who considered himself better born.[1]
History
Lord Shawney supported Daemon I Blackfyre during the First Blackfyre Rebellion in 196 AC. During the Battle of the Redgrass Field, he was on the right of the Blackfyre host, under the command of Ser Aegor Rivers. Lord Shawney almost died from his wounds in the battle, and he was pardoned by King Daeron II Targaryen after the war.[1]
In 212 AC, Lord Shawney came with his retinue to Whitewalls to attend the wedding of Lord Ambrose Butterwell and his second wife, the daughter of Lord Frey. On his way, Lord Shawney had to cross the Gods Eye via a ferry. He quarreled with Lord Costayne on the matter of which lord should cross first; Shawney argued that as the older of the two he should go first, whereas Costayne believed that as his House was nobler then Shawney's, he had the precedence.[1]
During the wedding feast, Lord Shawney was seated on the dais. The next day, he attend the wedding tourney and bet on Ser Duncan the Tall to win (five to one) against Ser Uthor Underleaf in the joust.[1]
The fate of Lord Costayne following the arrival at Whitewalls of the Hand of the King, Brynden Rivers, and the suppression of the Second Blackfyre Rebellion is unknown.
