Samwell Blackwood was a Lord of Raventree Hall and head of House Blackwood.

History

Samwell lost a duel to Amos Bracken when Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen visited Raventree Hall in 112 AC, as the rivals unsuccessfully fought for her hand.[1]

During the Dance of the Dragons, Samwell, now a lord, declared for Queen Rhaenyra after the assault on Harrenhal.[2] Lord Blackwood sent raiders to attack the lands of House Bracken, who were supporters of King Aegon III Targaryen. Samwell was killed by Ser Amos in single combat during the Battle of the Burning Mill, but Amos was then struck down by an arrow allegedly fired by Samwell's sister, Alysanne Blackwood.[3] Samwell was succeeded by his son, Lord Benjicot Blackwood.[4]
