History

History

In the reign of Maegor I Targaryen, Maegor had his own wife and queen, Alys Harroway, tortured to death and executed. Following her death, Alys's body was cut into seven parts and mounted on spikes above each of the seven gates of the city, one of which was above the Iron Gate. [1][2]

During the Dance of the Dragons, a massive riot broke out in the city. Ser Medrick Manderly sallied out and restored some order to the area northeast of Aegon's Hill, to the Iron Gate. [3]

Janos Slynt, the commander of the Iron Gate, was promoted to commander of the City Watch of King's Landing at some point after Robert's Rebellion.[4]
