{{Welcome|MyUserName=Scafloc}}

==House Heddle==
Thanks for the help with updating House Heddle. I had a hell of a time gathering all the information for the expansion, but I knew I was forgetting/missing quite a lot. Looks like you covered the rest. - [[User:SquisherKing|SquisherKing]] ([[User talk:SquisherKing|talk]]) 16:06, 10 October 2015 (CDT)
: Very welcome, happy to help. --[[User:Mindset|Mindset]] ([[User talk:Mindset|talk]]) 17:48, 12 October 2015 (CDT)

== Family trees ==

Hello

You stated in a recent edit that ''using the pagename variable keeps the template in its category alphabetized under "Targaryen tree Viserys" rather than under "Template"''. However, since the pagename variable has been added to all the family trees, while they are still listed alphabetically, they are now all listed as "Template:nameoffamilytree". Unless I'm reading your 'reason for edit' wrong, that sounds like the opposite of what you were trying to achieve?--[[User:Rhaenys Targaryen|Rhaenys Targaryen]] ([[User talk:Rhaenys Targaryen|talk]]) 13:32, 23 November 2015 (CST)

Hi Mindset, I saw on your sandbox you once entertained the idea of implanting diagonals on family trees. That would be a good solution for characters with more than two marriages and it may even be used to show twins too. But is that even possible to do ? --[[User:Thomaerys Velaryon|Thomaerys Velaryon]] ([[User talk:Thomaerys Velaryon|talk]]) 13:06, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
:Hey Thomaerys! I wasn't aware of the CSS methods at the time I originally thought of editing the family tree template some years ago, but it's definitely possible to do diagonals. You can see [https://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?title=User:Mindset/sandbox2&oldid=296458 here] that wiki table cells can be rotated, which can be used to make diagonal connectors. (The example there is not what a family tree would look like, it was just to see if the rotation CSS could be used in mediawiki code.) @Ran has fixed my permissions back up, so when I get a chance, I'll try to figure out a way to add diagonal connectors that look good, in a way that doesn't cause issues with existing family trees. Let me know if you have any ideas! --[[User:Mindset|Mindset]] ([[User talk:Mindset|talk]]) 12:57, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

== Navbox ==

Hi Mindset. I'm still new to this wiki so sorry if I don't know how things are done yet. Could you tell me why we need two navboxes for each house instead of condensing them to a single navbox with subgroups? On Wikipedia, that option would be preferred. You said it's standard to have two navboxes, but it's only been about three months since that's the case. I'd appreciate some feedback :) Cheers [[User:Abjiklam|Abjiklam]] ([[User talk:Abjiklam|talk]]) 12:52, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
:I've updated the navbox template to fix some issues. Could you have a look at {{tl|HousesCrownlands}} and tell me if it's okay? The collapsing functions correctly, and all the titles are well centered. Furthermore, the amount of spoilers can be controlled by every page that transcludes the template by setting the <code>state</code> parameter to <code>collapsed</code> or <code>uncollapsed</code>. By default, spoilers are hidden. [[User:Abjiklam|Abjiklam]] ([[User talk:Abjiklam|talk]]) 13:31, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

== Azzak zo Ghazeen? ==

What's the source? The 'A World of Ice and Fire' App?--[[User:Gonzalo|Gonzalo]] ([[User talk:Gonzalo|talk]]) 17:25, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

== {{tl|Date}} ==

Hi Mindset, could you tell me what was the error you saw before your revert on {{tl|Date}}? I didn't notice anything so I'm curious what it might be. [[User:Abjiklam|Abjiklam]] ([[User talk:Abjiklam|talk]]) 12:44, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

:A "Lua Error somenumber" (sorry I forget which number) in bright red, everywhere the template was used, displayed instead of the date. It was reported to me by another user without a login, and I checked it on mobile and desktop and various skins -- all displayed the error. --[[User:Mindset|Mindset]] ([[User talk:Mindset|talk]]) 23:08, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
::Could you have a look at [[User:Abjiklam/sandbox]] and tell me if there is any problem? I'd like to bring back the Module because it knows how to deal with BC years for dates and date ranges. [[User:Abjiklam|Abjiklam]] ([[User talk:Abjiklam|talk]]) 14:31, 19 October 2018 (UTC)
:::That seems to be working. But could you copy the [[Alysanne Targaryen]] page, using that template? That's the article I definitely recall having Lua errors, though other articles did too. That one in particular has many dates, as well as templates within templates, so throwing an error would be more likely there than anywhere else. --[[User:Mindset|Mindset]] ([[User talk:Mindset|talk]]) 17:06, 19 October 2018 (UTC)

== Aerion by Scherma ==
Where did you hear that it's not actually a depiction of Aerion? --[[User:Potsk|Potsk]] ([[User talk:Potsk|talk]]) 19:57, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
:Did the research myself, will be editing the page with the info momentarily. But you can see the info here for the moment: https://twitter.com/MaloraHightower/status/1471559138085941250 --[[User:Mindset|Mindset]] ([[User talk:Mindset|talk]]) 19:59, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
::Good work, thanks. Seems to not be so uncommon to take Chinese people's artworks and put purple eyes on them. Same thing happened with the Aenar one that was also displayed on TargaryenThursday. --[[User:Potsk|Potsk]] ([[User talk:Potsk|talk]]) 10:01, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

==Treason==
Hello, I remember this treason page that was deleted. It was a simple copy and paste from the Game of Thrones Wiki made by a guy that was later banned from here because of his reluctance to format the article according to the style of this Wiki and to add some of his text aside from the copy/paste. Anyway history aside, treason is a vast subject, what do you want this article to be about ? There is already an article for the term turncloak but the subjects are linked. The story of the Two Betrayers would fit nicely too. —[[User:Thomaerys Velaryon|Thomaerys Velaryon]] ([[User talk:Thomaerys Velaryon|talk]]) 21:34, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
:Yeah, I tried to edit it to fit more into this wiki's style, and to remove the GOT-specific situations/names etc. But of course it needs more work still. Treason is different from a turncloak because the latter is switching from one side to another, whereas the former is a legal term -- though you can be both a traitor and a turncloak, depending. I was thinking we ought to check the books for whenever someone is called a traitor, or treason is mentioned. In history, the Greens and the Blacks mutually accusing each other of treason would be a good example. Also Rhaenyra's accusation of Addam Velaryon and the other dragonseeds (after the Two Betrayers), and Corlys's arrest afterwards. The near arrest of Daemon Blackfyre for fomenting rebellion... lots of events to add. (Unfortunately I don't have much time to spare on the wiki today, but I'll definitely be editing it more when I can!) --[[User:Mindset|Mindset]] ([[User talk:Mindset|talk]]) 22:42, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

==Serial killers==
Is a serial killers category really necessary in a world where people go to war frequently and have trials by combat ? There are hundreds of characters that would fit the category then. Maybe we need to precise that those characters are murderers instead of simply killers to restrict the category. Thoughts ? --[[User:Thomaerys Velaryon|Thomaerys Velaryon]] ([[User talk:Thomaerys Velaryon|talk]]) 07:32, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

:A serial killer is a murderer by definition. Real life soldiers killing in combat on a regular basis aren't serial killers (despite the opinions of some). [[User:Potsk|Potsk]] ([[User talk:Potsk|talk]]) 08:55, 6 October 2023 (UTC):

:Yes, [[User:Thomaerys Velaryon|Thomaerys]], what [[User:Potsk|Potsk]] said - that's why I linked to the wikipedia article, to distinguish characters who killed multiple people out of some psychological need, from ordinary solder-type killers who kill on orders, or one-kill crimes of passion murderers (like Chett). We know Utt killed many boys over the span of multiple years because of his guilt over his pedophilia (classic real-world serial killer behavior like John Wayne Gacy), Androw killed out of misogyny/homophobia/a twisted need to be recognized (see Ted Bundy or the École Polytechnique massacre, though unlike that mass shooting, Androw's behavior took place in secrecy over the span of a long period using slow poison, which is what specifically tips him to a serial killer rather than a crime of passion). Danelle Lothston is an edge case, but she seems to be inspired by Elizabeth Bathory, who is an alleged serial killer with similar "bathe in blood" crimes, that's why I included her too. --[[User:Mindset|Mindset]] ([[User talk:Mindset|talk]]) 09:21, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

:(I also debated adding Euron Greyjoy, as he killed two brothers apparently because of a pathological desire to watch them die-- but the limited numbers, and the fact that that's a TWOW reveal, not to mention the confusion from his political kills, had me leave him out of the category for now. Oh! I should definitely add Ramsay though.) --[[User:Mindset|Mindset]] ([[User talk:Mindset|talk]]) 09:28, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

== Categories ==

Hi! I saw that you deleted the category Waterfalls, because it wasn't working properly. I obviously don't know if that was the reason, but if it was because 'Alyssa's Tears' still hadn't shown up, that might have a different reason. I've recently noticed that adding and removing things from categories is either not working at all anymore or takes a very long time. For example, I added 'Jeyne Fossoway' to the House Hightower category four days ago and she still hasn't shown up in it. This might possibly be because of the caching that was recently discussed on the Forum. Anyway, just thought I'd mention it. -[[User:Alyx Rivers|Alyx Rivers]] ([[User talk:Alyx Rivers|talk]]) 23:52, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

Kingsmoot

2024-08-28T21:44:40Z

Alyx Rivers: interlinks

{{For|the kingsmoot in 300 AC|kingsmoot on Old Wyk}}
[[File:Chris Dien Kingsmoot Candidate.jpg|thumb|350px|Kingsmoot Candidate, by Chris Dien © Fantasy Flight Games]]
'''Kingsmoots''' were great councils held by inhabitants of the [[Iron Islands]] in which kings were chosen by longship captains.{{Ref|TWOIAF|7|5|1}} The kingsmoots which chose the [[High King of the Iron Islands]] were held on [[Nagga's Hill]] on [[Old Wyk]].{{Ref|AFFC|1}}

==Description==
Any captain who owns a ship may participate when a kingsmoot is held,{{Ref|TWOIAF|7|5|1}} as it is said among the [[ironborn]] that "every captain is a king upon the deck of his own ship".{{Ref|TWOIAF|7|5}} Candidates may try to sway his fellow captains with a speech on his prowess and gifts to show his generosity; only once a vast majority call out a candidate's name to proclaim him king does the kingsmoot end.{{Ref|AFFC|19}}

==History==
In antiquity, each of the [[Iron Islands]] was ruled by a [[rock king]] and a [[salt king]] chosen in a kingsmoot by the island's captains. The kings were usually from the same noble house and were often father and son, but sometimes they were from rival houses. [[Priests of the Drowned God]] called for kingsmoots whenever a king died.{{Ref|TWOIAF|7|5|1}}

Eventually, the prophet [[Galon Whitestaff]] called all of these petty kings and captains to [[Nagga's Hill]] on [[Old Wyk]] to choose a high king to rule all of the ironborn. [[Urras Greyiron]] was thus chosen as the first [[High King of the Iron Islands]] since the [[Grey King]]. [[Erich I Greyiron]] claimed Urras's crown after his father's death, but Galon objected since Erich had not been chosen in a kingsmoot. An assembly at Old Wyk instead chose [[Regnar Drumm]] and condemned Erich to death, although Erich avoided his fate by abdicating and breaking Urras's crown.{{Ref|TWOIAF|7|5|1}}

Besides Urras Ironfoot, other famous driftwood kings chosen at the Old Wyk kingsmoots include [[Sylas Flatnose]], [[Harrag Hoare]], and the Old Kraken, [[Loron Greyjoy]].{{Ref|AFFC|1}} When a high king died, his driftwood crown was broken and returned to the sea, and his elected successor would then create a new crown.{{Ref|TWOIAF|7|5|1}}

Once a candidate put himself forth, he was bound to the kingsmoot's decision. Only once in the history of the Iron Islands has a kingsmoot been declared unlawful. When King [[Urragon III Greyiron]] died, his family called a kingsmoot while his eldest son, [[Torgon Greyiron]], was off at sea raiding. The kingsmoot raised up [[Urrathon IV Goodbrother]], whose first act was to put all of Urragon's present kin to death. Torgon the Latecomer returned two years later and claimed the kingsmoot was unlawful since he, the previous king's son, was not present to put forth his candidacy as was his right. Since Urrathon was bloodthirsty and his cruelty made him many enemies, the priests and ironborn denounced him and raised Torgon to be the new king.{{Ref|TWOIAF|7|5|1}}

Torgon and his son, King [[Urragon IV Greyiron]], both ruled without being chosen by a kingsmoot. The priests of the Drowned God insisted upon a kingsmoot when Urragon IV died, however. This last kingsmoot turned into a bloodbath, with [[Urron Greyiron]] having his men kill all the other attendees. Urron Redhand declared himself the [[King of the Iron Islands]] and set up the hereditary rule of [[House Greyiron]], who wore an iron crown instead of individualized driftwood crowns. His line is said to have lasted a thousand years until the [[coming of the Andals]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|2|7}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|7|5|2}}

There are conflicting accounts of the time of the most recent kingsmoot. While Archmaester [[Haereg]]'s ''[[History of the Ironborn]]'' states there has not been a kingsmoot for four thousand years, according to Maester [[Denestan]]'s ''[[Questions]]'', it has been two thousand years.{{Ref|AFFC|11}}

==Recent Events==
===''A Feast for Crows''===
[[File:JB Casacop Euron Crow's Eye.jpg|thumb|350px|[[Euron Greyjoy]] at the [[kingsmoot on Old Wyk]], by JB Casacop © Fantasy Flight Games]]
[[Aeron Greyjoy]] declares a kingsmoot as the proper way to raise the next [[King of the Isles and the North]] after the death of his eldest brother, [[Balon Greyjoy]]. This move is made by Aeron Damphair to end a potential civil war between the [[ironborn]] and to prevent [[Euron Greyjoy]] from taking the Seastone Chair.{{Ref|AFFC|1}}

During the [[kingsmoot on Old Wyk]], each candidate is supported by three champions. Euron is eventually chosen.{{Ref|AFFC|19}}

===''A Dance with Dragons''===
[[Tristifer Botley]] tells [[Asha Greyjoy]] the tale of [[Torgon Greyiron|Torgon the Latecomer]] and [[Urrathon IV Goodbrother]].{{Ref|ADWD|26}}

{{Quote|'''Meldred''': A kingsmoot? There has not been a true kingsmoot in ... 
'''Aeron''': ... too long a time! Yet in the [[dawn of days]] the [[ironborn]] chose their own kings, raising up the worthiest amongst them. It is time we returned to the [[Old Way]], for only that shall make us great again.{{Ref|AFFC|1}}|[[Meldred Merlyn]] and [[Aeron Greyjoy]]}}

Burning of the Lannister fleet

The '''burning of the Lannister fleet''' began [[Greyjoy's Rebellion]] in {{Date|289}}.

==Prelude==
[[Balon Greyjoy]], [[Lord of the Iron Islands]], desired to restore the [[Old Way]] after he succeeded his father, Lord [[Quellon Greyjoy]], during [[Robert's Rebellion]]. Over five years he constructed the [[Iron Fleet]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|7|5|6}} one hundred warships controlled by the [[Seastone Chair]] instead of local [[lord]]s.{{Ref|ADWD|56}} One of Balon's younger brothers, [[Victarion Greyjoy|Victarion]], became [[Lord Captain of the Iron Fleet]].{{Ref|AGOT|Appendix}}

==Burning==
Balon declared himself [[King of the Iron Islands]], rejecting the authority of King [[Robert I Baratheon]]. Another younger brother, [[Euron Greyjoy]], devised the plan to attack the twenty or thirty{{Ref|SSM|1049}} ships of the [[Lannister fleet]] while they were at anchor at [[Lannisport]].{{Ref|AFFC|18}} Leading the Iron Fleet to Lannisport, Victarion began the burning by throwing the first torch at the flagship of Lord [[Tywin Lannister]], Robert's [[Warden of the West]].{{Ref|AFFC|18}}

==Aftermath==
Balon hoped that the destruction of Tywin Lannister's ships would give the [[ironborn]] naval supremacy over the [[Sunset Sea]]. [[Stannis Baratheon]], the [[master of ships]], eventually defeated Victarion's Iron Fleet in a [[sea battle off Fair Isle]], however,{{Ref|ADWD|63}} allowing his brother, King Robert, to invade the rebellious [[Iron Islands]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|7|5|6}} Tywin rebuilt the Lannister fleet after the war.{{Ref|SSM|1049}}

==Quotes==
{{Quote|[[Sunset Sea|The sea]] shall be my moat, and woe to any man who dares to cross it.{{Ref|TWOIAF|7|5|6}}|declaration of [[Balon Greyjoy]]}}

{{Quote|'''Asha''': Walk amongst the cookfires if you dare, and listen. They are not telling tales of your strength, nor of my famous beauty. They talk only of the [[Euron Greyjoy|Crow's Eye]]; the far places he has seen, the women he has raped and the men he's killed, the cities he has sacked, the way he burnt Lord [[Tywin Lannister|Tywin's]] fleet at [[Lannisport]] ... 
'''Victarion''': I burnt the lion's fleet. With mine own hands I flung the first torch onto his flagship. 
'''Asha''': The Crow's Eye hatched the scheme.{{Ref|AFFC|18}}|[[Asha Greyjoy]] and [[Victarion Greyjoy]]}}

'''Aegon V Targaryen''' was a [[Lord of the Seven Kingdoms]] and the fifteenth [[House Targaryen|Targaryen]] to sit the [[Iron Throne]] as [[King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men]].{{Ref|AGoT|Appendix}} In his youth, he went by the nickname '''Egg''' and squired for Ser [[Duncan the Tall]].

Aegon became king after a [[Great Council]] bypassed a number of candidates earlier in the line of succession, and after his elder brother, Maester [[Aemon Targaryen (son of Maekar I)|Aemon]], refused the throne. As the fourth son of [[Maekar I Targaryen|Maekar I]], himself a fourth son, Aegon was called '''Aegon the Unlikely'''.{{Ref|ACOK|6}}

In the television adaptation ''[[A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (TV series)|A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms]]'', Aegon is portrayed by [[Dexter Sol Ansell]].<ref>The Hollywood Reporter: [https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/game-of-thrones-hedge-knight-dunk-and-egg-cast-1235867446/ Dunk and Egg cast] (April 5, 2024)</ref>

==Appearance and Character==
{{See also|:Category:Images of Aegon V Targaryen|l1=Images of Aegon V Targaryen}}

Aegon had large eyes which could appear dark blue,{{Ref|THK}} but were actually [[Purple eyes|deep and dark and purple]].{{Ref|TSS}} The boy was pasty faced and skinny.{{Ref|THK}} Because of his silver-gold hair, he shaved his head to hide his identity while a squire, making his eyes appear huge on his bald head.{{Ref|THK}} Aegon wore a wide-brimmed floppy straw hat while squiring for Ser [[Duncan the Tall]].{{Ref|TSS}}

According to a semi-canonical source, Aegon in his thirties had shoulder-length hair. Tall, slender, and handsome, he looked strong yet kindly. His [[crown]] was the simple gold circlet worn by [[Viserys II Targaryen|Viserys II]] and [[Aegon III Targaryen|Aegon III]] before him.{{Ref|SSM|1253}}

Aegon was bold, compassionate toward animals, and well educated in his youth.{{Ref|THK}}{{Ref|TSS}} He was known to lie{{Ref|THK}} and quick with a retort,{{Ref|TMK}} however, and was proud of being a noble.{{Ref|TSS}} Some considered him insolent.{{Ref|TMK}} Aegon grew to become a kindly and approachable man{{Ref|SSM|1253}} beloved by the [[smallfolk]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|4|15}} Maester [[Aemon Targaryen (son of Maekar I)|Aemon]], who gave the nickname Egg to his brother,{{Ref|THK}} believed that Aegon had innocence and sweetness.{{Ref|ADWD|7}}

==History==
===Early life===
Aegon was born the fourth son and fifth child of Prince [[Maekar I Targaryen|Maekar Targaryen]] and his wife, [[Dyanna Dayne]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|10|1}} Aegon served at court in King's Landing for two years as a page, sometimes attending to the [[small council]].{{Ref|TSS}} Aegon owned a [[dragon egg]], which was colored with green and white swirls and had been placed in his cradle with him when he was a babe. Aegon and his elder brother, Prince [[Aemon Targaryen (son of Maekar I)|Aemon]], hoped their eggs would hatch so they could become [[dragonriders]]. Aegon kept his egg at [[Summerhall]].{{Ref|tmk}} The brothers recreated the [[Battle of the Redgrass Field]] with painted soldiers on Maester [[Melaquin]]'s table.{{Ref|TMK}}

Aegon loathed his brother, the cruel and sadistic [[Aerion Targaryen|Aerion]], who threw Aegon's pet [[cat]] down a well.

[[File:The mystery knight by grr martin by marcsimonetti.jpg|thumb|250px|Ser [[Duncan the Tall]] and Aegon, by Marc Simonetti © LeYa Brasil]]
Aegon was supposed to squire for his eldest brother, [[Daeron Targaryen (son of Maekar I)|Daeron]], in the [[tourney at Ashford Meadow]], but Daeron had no interest in jousting and instead drank himself into a stupor at an inn. Daeron shaved Aegon's head to prevent the boy's distinctive Targaryen hair from being recognized by men sent by their father, Prince [[Maekar I Targaryen|Maekar]].{{Ref|THK}} When the hedge knight Dunk visited the inn, he assumed Aegon was a stableboy. Calling himself "Egg", the disguised Aegon assumed that Dunk was short for "Duncan", which Dunk accepted. Aegon was impressed by the humble hedge knight and followed him. Ser [[Duncan the Tall]] agreed to let Egg serve as his squire during the tourney.{{Ref|THK}}

Duncan was arrested and sentenced to fight a [[trial by battle]] after attacking Egg's elder brother, Prince [[Aerion Targaryen]]. Because the battle was to be a [[Trial of Seven]], Aegon convinced Ser [[Lyonel Baratheon]] to fight on behalf of Duncan. Aegon's uncle, Prince [[Baelor Targaryen (son of Daeron II)|Baelor Breakspear]], also fought alongside Duncan during the trial, but Baelor died of a wound inflicted by Prince Maekar, Baelor's brother and Aegon's father, who had fought on behalf of Aerion and House Targaryen.{{Ref|THK}}

Maekar, the [[Prince of Summerhall]], wished Aegon to be trained as a knight, but Aegon would only agree if Duncan were the knight who trained him. When Maekar offered Duncan a place at the garrison of [[Summerhall]], Dunk declined and agreed to take Aegon on only if Aegon accompanied him as his squire. Aegon would live humbly, but Duncan thought it would make Aegon a better man than his brothers, Aerion and Daeron. Thus, Aegon served as a squire to Duncan under his nickname "Egg".{{Ref|THK}}

===Squire===
Aegon kept his identity secret from the public while squiring for Duncan, and he kept hidden in his boot a signet ring from his father, [[Maekar I Targaryen|Maekar Targaryen]], [[Prince of Summerhall]].{{Ref|TSS}}{{Ref|TMK}} While escorting merchants in [[Dorne]] from the [[Prince's Pass]] to [[Vaith]], [[Chestnut]] died while Egg was on the horse's back. The pair traveled aboard a poleboat on the [[Greenblood]] toward the [[Planky Town]], and during the journey [[orphans of the Greenblood|orphan]] girls rubbed Aegon's head for luck. Dunk and Egg then sailed on ''[[White Lady]]'' to [[Oldtown]], where Aegon received the mule [[Maester (mule)|Maester]], a gift from his brother, Maester [[Aemon Targaryen (son of Maekar I)|Aemon]].{{Ref|TSS}}

A little less than two years after Ashford Meadow, Aegon and Duncan served Ser [[Eustace Osgrey]] of [[Standfast]] during his conflict with [[Rohanne Webber]], [[Lady of Coldmoat]], over the [[Chequy Water]]. At Coldmoat, Egg verified for the illiterate Dunk that a royal parchment from King [[Daeron II Targaryen]] had granted the stream to Lord [[Wyman Webber]]. When Rohanne demanded that Eustace turn over Ser [[Bennis of the Brown Shield]], Duncan showed Aegon's signet ring to her in an unsuccessful attempt to avert hostilities. After Duncan slew Ser [[Lucas Inchfield]] in [[trial by battle]], Aegon pulled Duncan from the stream and protected the wounded hedge knight during his recovery. Eustace and Rohanne chose to wed to end their conflict, and Egg attended Eustace during the wedding feast.{{Ref|tss}} Rohanne gifted Aegon with a sorrel palfrey which he named [[Rain]].{{Ref|TMK}}

===Second Blackfyre Rebellion===
After visiting [[Stoney Sept]], Aegon and Ser [[Duncan the Tall]] attended the [[wedding tourney at Whitewalls]] in {{Date|212}}. Egg struck the squire of Ser [[Mallor]] after an insinuation that Prince [[Maekar I Targaryen|Maekar Targaryen]] was a [[kinslayer]] who might one day intentionally kill King [[Aerys I Targaryen]].{{Ref|TMK}} Aegon attended to Duncan, who called himself the Gallows Knight, during his joust with Ser [[Uthor Underleaf]]. Egg was distraught after Dunk's defeat, as the hedge knight would have to forfeit to Uthor his sword, armor, and horse, [[Thunder]].{{Ref|TMK}}

During the [[Second Blackfyre Rebellion]], Egg revealed his signet ring to Maester [[Lothar]], who turned the boy over to Lord [[Ambrose Butterwell]] and [[Lord Frey]]. After Aegon claimed that his father was marching on [[Whitewalls]] with an army, Ambrose fled to the castle's sept with Aegon while Frey returned to [[the Twins]]. Duncan slew Ser [[Tommard Heddle]] when the knight tried to take the prince hostage. Dunk then told Egg to escape Whitewalls if he could. The next morning, the [[House Blackfyre|Blackfyre]] conspirators surrendered when Lord [[Brynden Rivers]] arrived with a royal host, with Aegon in his company. Aegon convinced Bloodraven to lend gold to Duncan so he could ransom his possessions back from Uthor Underleaf.{{Ref|TMK}}

===Later life===
[[File:Aegon V Black Betha by Rae Lavergne.jpg|thumb|300px|Aegon and [[Betha Blackwood]], by Rae Lavergne ©]]
Aegon married Lady [[Betha Blackwood]] in {{Date|220}}. The marriage at the time provoked no opposition as Aegon was very low in the line of succession. They married for love and eventually had five children together. Aegon named his first-born son [[Duncan Targaryen|Duncan]] to honor his friend, Ser [[Duncan the Tall]].{{Ref|ADwD|67}}{{Ref|TWoIaF|4|15}}

In {{Date|221}}, Aegon's uncle, King [[Aerys I Targaryen]] died with no issue and was followed on the Iron Throne by his last living brother, Prince [[Maekar I Targaryen|Maekar Targaryen]]. Aegon and his brothers were summoned to court by King Maekar.{{Ref|ACOK|6}}

According to a semi-canon source, Aegon participated in the suppression of the [[Peake Uprising]] in {{Date|233}}, with [[Tion Lannister]] as his squire. The prince knighted the mortally wounded [[Tywald Lannister]], Tion's twin, during the battle.<ref>George R.R. Martin: ''[[The World of Ice & Fire]]'', [https://georgerrmartin.com/world-of-ice-and-fire-sample/ The Westerlands (unabridged)].</ref>

King Maekar I was also killed at [[Storming of Starpike|Starpike]] during the rebellion. With Maekar dead, it was unclear who should be king since two of Aegon's older brothers had died before his father. [[Daeron Targaryen (son of Maekar I)|Daeron]] left a feeble-witted daughter named [[Vaella Targaryen (daughter of Daeron)|Vaella]] and [[Aerion Targaryen|Aerion]] an [[Maegor Targaryen (son of Aerion)|infant son]], so a [[Great Council]] was called to choose the king. Aegon seemed the logical choice but many lords considered him "half a peasant" due to his youth among the [[smallfolk]]. The council approached Aegon's older brother, Maester [[Aemon Targaryen (son of Maekar I)|Aemon]], but he refused, stating the crown should be given to Aegon.{{Ref|TWoIaF|4|14}}

===King Aegon V===
Aegon was crowned [[Lord of the Seven Kingdoms]] in {{Date|233}} when he was thirty-three years old. During most, if not all, of Aegon V's reign, his old friend Ser [[Duncan the Tall]] served as [[Lord Commander of the Kingsguard]].

Aegon's first act as king was the arrest of Lord [[Brynden Rivers]], the [[Hand of the King]], for the murder of [[Aenys Blackfyre]], as Bloodraven had offered Aenys safe conduct to Westeros for the [[Great Council]] but had Aenys executed when he arrived in the capital.{{Ref|TWOIAF|4|14}} Though all were glad another [[House Blackfyre|Blackfyre]] pretender was dead, Aegon had to punish Lord Bloodraven to prove the word of the [[Iron Throne]] was not worthless. Although Brynden was sentenced to death, Aegon allowed him to join the [[Night's Watch]]. Aegon's brother, Maester [[Aemon Targaryen (son of Maekar I)|Aemon]], decided to join the Watch as well, to prevent any plots in which he would be used against his brother. Brynden and Aemon were joined by many of Bloodraven's personal guard, the [[Raven's Teeth]], as well as prisoners released from dungeons by the king.{{Ref|TWOIAF|4|15}}{{Ref|AFFC|15}}

Aegon's reign began during a harsh winter which lasted from {{Date|230}} until {{Date|236}}. The benevolent Aegon sent massive shipments of food and grain to aid starving [[north]]men, though there were those who felt he provided too much aid. The end of winter saw the return of the [[Blackfyre Pretenders]], with the [[Fourth Blackfyre Rebellion]] taking place in {{Date|236}}. [[Daemon III Blackfyre]] attempted to seize the [[Iron Throne]] with the [[Golden Company]], but few rallied to his side. Aegon and his sons rode to meet and repel the invaders, and Duncan the Tall slew Daemon in single combat, ending the rebellion. [[Aegor Rivers]], known as Bittersteel, managed to flee with the remnants of the Golden Company [[across the narrow sea]].{{Ref|TWoIaF|4|15}}

Aegon V spent much of his reign dealing with uprisings. On three occasions, the Iron Throne had to intervene in the [[westerlands]] due to the inferior and inept leadership of Lord [[Tytos Lannister]] of [[Casterly Rock]].{{Ref|TWoIaF|7|6|1}} Most of Aegon's troubles resulted from his efforts to improve the lives of the [[smallfolk]], whom he had interacted with while squiring for Duncan. Although the smallfolk loved Aegon for his reforms and granting of rights and protections, high lords felt their powers over peasantry was diminished and curtailed by these new reforms. Lacking the [[dragon]]s controlled by early [[House Targaryen|Targaryen]] kings, Aegon reluctantly compromised with the recalcitrant lords on several issues.

===Family Betrothals===
[[File:King Aegon the Unlikely and his sons by Karla Ortiz.jpg|thumb|400px|King Aegon and his sons, by Karla Ortiz, in ''[[The World of Ice & Fire]]'']]
Aegon faced renewed troubles in his reign caused because of his sons.{{Ref|AWOIAF}} Convinced the [[House Targaryen|Targaryen]] practice of [[Incest|incestuous marriage]] was harmful after spending time with [[smallfolk]], Aegon and his queen, [[Betha Blackwood]], betrothed four of their children to some of the [[Great Houses]] of the [[Seven Kingdoms]] in {{Date|237}} Their eldest son and heir, Prince [[Duncan Targaryen|Duncan]], was betrothed to the daughter of Lord [[Lyonel Baratheon]] of [[Storm's End]]. Prince [[Jaehaerys II Targaryen|Jaehaerys]], Aegon's second son, was betrothed to Lady [[Celia Tully]], the daughter of the Lord of [[Riverrun]]. Aegon's youngest son, Prince [[Daeron Targaryen (son of Aegon V)|Daeron]], was betrothed to Lady [[Olenna Tyrell|Olenna Redwyne]] of the [[Arbor]], when both children were nine years old. In addition, Aegon's eldest daughter, Princess [[Shaera Targaryen|Shaera]], was betrothed to [[Luthor Tyrell]], the heir to [[Highgarden]]. The proposed marriages would have won Aegon much support for his reforms, but his children had inherited his willfulness and their mother's stubbornness.{{Ref|TWoIaF|4|15}}{{Ref|ADwD|67}}

Beginning in {{Date|239}}, Prince Duncan fell in love with and eventually wed the mysterious [[Jenny of Oldstones]]. King Aegon, the [[small council]], the [[Maesters|Grand Maester]], and the [[High Septon]] forced Duncan to choose between the peasant girl or the [[Iron Throne]]. The prince choose his wife and abdicated as [[Prince of Dragonstone]], making his younger brother, Prince Jaehaerys, the new heir. With Duncan refusing to marry the daughter of Lord Baratheon, Storm's End briefly rose in rebellion, which ended when Ser [[Duncan the Tall]] of the [[Kingsguard]] forced Lord Lyonel to yield during a [[trial by combat]]. King Aegon pardoned Lyonel and betrothed his daughter, Princess [[Rhaelle Targaryen|Rhaelle]], to Lyonel's heir, [[Ormund Baratheon|Ormund]]. Aegon sent Rhaelle to Storm's End as Lyonel's cupbearer and companion to his wife.{{Ref|TWoIaF|4|15}}

While King Aegon disliked the Targaryen practice of marriage through incest, Prince Jaehaerys and his sister, Princess Shaera, desired each other from a young age. With Duncan marrying Jenny as precedent, Jaehaerys and Shaera secretly wed and consummated their marriage in {{Date|240}}, leaving Aegon to deal with the anger of Houses [[House Tully|Tully]] and [[House Tyrell|Tyrell]].{{Ref|TWoIaF|4|15}}

Though betrothed for nine years to Lady [[Olenna Redwyne]], Prince [[Daeron Targaryen (son of Aegon V)|Daeron]] broke his betrothal in {{Date|246}} when he was eighteen years old. Daeron remained unwed, instead preferring the companionship of Ser [[Jeremy Norridge]], a young knight whom he had befriended when they were squires at [[Highgarden]]. Daeron and Jeremy perished in battle in {{Date|251}}, crushing a rebellion led by [[the Rat, the Hawk, and the Pig]].{{Ref|TWoIaF|4|15}}

===Summerhall===
In {{Date|258}}, nine outlaws, exiles, pirates and sellswords hoping to carve out individual kingdoms came together in the [[Disputed Lands]] of [[Essos]]. Among this [[Band of Nine]] was [[Maelys I Blackfyre]], the last of the [[House Blackfyre|Blackfyres]]. Because the outlaws had no great urgency, King Aegon remained intent on his reign and on [[dragon]]s in particular. Against the advice of his friends and counselors, Aegon V became convinced that only with dragons could he force the [[lord]]s of the [[Seven Kingdoms]] to accept his decrees that granted freedoms, rights, and protections to the smallfolk.{{Ref|TWoIaF|4|15}}

This eventually led to the [[tragedy of Summerhall]] in {{Date|259}}, in which Aegon perished while trying to hatch [[dragon egg]]s. His son, Prince [[Duncan Targaryen|Duncan the Small]]; his friend and [[Lord Commander of the Kingsguard]], Ser [[Duncan the Tall]]; and others of the royal court also perished in the fire.{{Ref|TWoIaF|4|15}} Aegon was succeeded by his second son and heir, [[Jaehaerys II Targaryen|Jaehaerys II]].

Many of the laws, rights and protections King Aegon V had granted and bestowed upon the smallfolk were later undone during the reign of King [[Aerys II Targaryen|Aerys II]] by the [[Hand of the King]], Lord [[Tywin Lannister]].{{Ref|TWoIaF|4|17}}

==Quotes about Aegon==
{{Quote|I will take your son as squire, Your Grace, but not at [[Summerhall]]. Not for a year or two. He's seen sufficient of castles, I would judge.

'''Daemon II Blackfyre''', also known as '''Daemon the Younger''',{{Ref|TWOIAF|4|13}} was the third son of [[Daemon I Blackfyre]]. He used the alias '''John the Fiddler''', a [[hedge knight]], while traveling incognito through the [[Seven Kingdoms]]. He led the brief [[Second Blackfyre Rebellion]].{{Ref|TMK}}

==Appearance and Character==
{{See also|:Category:Images of Daemon II Blackfyre|l1=Images of Daemon II Blackfyre}}
When meeting him under the alias of "Ser John the Fiddler", Ser [[Duncan the Tall]] thought of Daemon II as "a young man lean and lithe, with a comely clean-shaved face and fine features". He had collar-length black hair and eyes that caught the deep blue of his doublet; Dunk noted he had "[[Purple eyes|Egg's eyes]]". After revealing himself as the son of [[Daemon I Blackfyre]], Daemon the Younger washed the black [[Hair dye|dye]] from his hair to reveal its silver-gold color.{{Ref|TMK}}

According to Duncan, Daemon smelled of oranges and [[Lemon|limes]], with a hint of some strange eastern [[spice]] beneath.{{Ref|TMK}}

Daemon had a love of music and fine things. He had a close relationship with Lord [[Alyn Cockshaw]] and appeared to be attracted to Dunk.{{Ref|TMK}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|4|13}} [[George R. R. Martin]] has confirmed that Daemon was homosexual.<ref>YouTube: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGA6JHNI-oo Ideas at the House:] George R.R. Martin, Lena Headey & Michelle Fairley - 'Game of Thrones' (November 11, 2013)</ref>

Daemon had [[Dragon dreams|prophetic dreams]]. He correctly dreamed that his brothers [[Aegon Blackfyre|Aegon]] and [[Aemon Blackfyre|Aemon]] would die, and that Dunk would become a knight of the [[Kingsguard]]. He also dreamed that a [[dragon]] would hatch from an [[Dragon egg|egg]] at [[Whitewalls]], but this turned out to be a metaphor for [[Aegon V Targaryen|Aegon "Egg" Targaryen]] revealing himself.{{Ref|TMK}}

==History==
===Early life===
Daemon was born in [[Westeros]], the third son of [[Daemon I Blackfyre]] and [[Rohanne of Tyrosh]]. He was [[named after]] his father.{{Ref|TMK}} As a child, he became close friends with [[Alyn Cockshaw]], and they were bullied by Daemon's older brothers, [[Aegon Blackfyre|Aegon]] and [[Aemon Blackfyre|Aemon]]. In {{Date|196}}, when he was seven years old, his father began the [[First Blackfyre Rebellion]]. After the death of his father and his older brothers at the [[Battle of the Redgrass Field]], Daemon went into exile in [[Tyrosh]] with his surviving family and with [[Aegor Rivers]].{{Ref|TMK}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|4|12}}

===Second Blackfyre Rebellion===
In Tyrosh, Daemon dreamed that a dragon would be born at [[Whitewalls]]. Lord [[Gormon Peake]], a Blackfyre supporter, somehow heard of this, and convinced Daemon to cross the [[narrow sea]] and make a play for the [[Iron Throne]]. The pretext for gathering other lords to support Daemon was a [[Whitewalls tourney|wedding tourney]] that Lord [[Ambrose Butterwell]] would hold in {{Date|212}}, at which the grand prize would be Butterwell's [[dragon egg]]. However, Bittersteel did not think much of Peake's plan, and mistrusted Daemon's dreams (or perhaps was troubled by his homosexuality), and so did not give him his support nor the sword [[Blackfyre]].{{Ref|TMK}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|4|13}}

[[File:Daemon-II-Blackfyre-arrested.jpg|thumb|250px|Daemon arrested by the [[Raven's Teeth]], from ''[[The Mystery Knight]]'' [[The Hedge Knight (comics)#The Mystery Knight: A Graphic Novel|graphic novel]], by Mike S. Miller ©]]
Under the guise of Ser John the Fiddler, Daemon happened across Ser [[Duncan the Tall]] and [[Aegon V Targaryen|Egg]] while heading to [[Whitewalls]] for the tourney. During the wedding, he was given a place of honor on the dais, uncommon for someone supposed to be a [[hedge knight]]. After the bedding took place, Daemon, still under the guise of John, approached Duncan and told him about the [[dreams]] he was having, about Duncan wearing a [[Kingsguard|white cloak]] in the future. He tried to win Duncan over to his side, but Duncan remained unsure and then they were interrupted by Lord [[Gormon Peake]]. Alyn Cockshaw, who had been ecstatic at Daemon's return to Westeros, deeply resented Dunk for the loss of Daemon's attentions and became his secret enemy.{{Ref|TMK}}

During the tourney, Daemon unseated Ser [[Franklyn Frey]] and Ser [[Galtry the Green]], but Dunk discovered that Peake had been bribing Daemon's opponents so that he would win the tourney. Ser [[Glendon Flowers]], who had turned down Peake's bribe, was charged with the theft of the missing dragon egg, and taken away to be tortured. After it was brought to the attention of Daemon that Glendon had been framed, Daemon revealed his true identity and gave Glendon the power to defend himself against the charges through a [[trial by battle]] with Daemon himself. Glendon, though still suffering from the effects of the torture, unhorsed Daemon in the first tilt of their joust. Daemon landed in a mud puddle, gaining the epithet "the Brown Dragon".{{Ref|TMK}}

News quickly spread that Lord [[Brynden Rivers]], Bloodraven, was marching on Whitewalls to end what had become the [[Second Blackfyre Rebellion]]. Daemon tried to inspire the armsmen who were within the castle, but they had no intention of fighting for such a weak warrior. Daemon met the oncoming army and challenged Bloodraven to single combat, but was instead arrested by Lord Rivers.{{Ref|TMK}}

===Later life===
Bloodraven kept Daemon alive as a hostage to prevent [[Aegor Rivers]] from crowning Daemon's younger brother, [[Haegon I Blackfyre|Haegon]].{{Ref|TMK}} However, Daemon the Younger died a few years later while a hostage in the [[Red Keep]], and Haegon and Bittersteel launched the [[Third Blackfyre Rebellion]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|4|13}}

{{Quote|'''"John"''': I [[dream]]ed that you were all in white from head to heel, with a long pale cloak flowing from those broad shoulders.

The '''maesters''' are an order of scholars, healers, messengers, and scientists in the [[Seven Kingdoms]]. They educate new students at the [[Citadel]], which is located in [[Oldtown]], a city in the [[Reach]]. [[House Hightower]] was integral in the Citadel's foundation, and continues to patronize the order. As advisers to the [[Westeros]]i nobility, the maesters have largely supplanted the [[Alchemists' Guild]].{{Ref|ACOK|20}} They are sometimes called "the [[knight]]s of the mind."{{Ref|AGOT|53}}

==Organization==
===Novices and Acolytes===
Students who start their education at the [[Citadel]] are known as novices. Once they have earned a link for their chain, they become acolytes.{{Ref|AFfC|0}} Most acolytes treat novices as if they are slow-witted.{{Ref|AFfC|0}} Acolytes train at letters at the [[Scribe's Hearth]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|1}} and can be hired by [[Oldtown]]ers to read their letters or write their wills.{{Ref|AFFC|45}} When an acolyte is prepared to take his vows and become a maester, he is placed in a completely dark room with one of the Citadel's [[glass candles]], made of razor-sharp [[obsidian]]. He must stay in that room for the entire night in darkness, unless he is able to light the candle. The tradition serves as a lesson about truth and learning.{{Ref|AFfC|0}}

Students who violate the rules of the Citadel can be ordered confined to their rooms by the maesters.{{Ref|AFfC|0}} They can also receive more physical punishments. For example, for stealing from the kitchens, [[rector]]s might place them in stocks at the [[Seneschal's Court]], where acolytes may throw rotten vegetables at them.{{Ref|AFFC|45}}

===Maesters===
[[File:Chris Rallis FFG card maester.JPG|thumb||350px|A maester reads a message brought by a [[raven]], by Chris Rallis © Fantasy Flight Games]]
Maesters are scholars and healers who have completed their training at the Citadel. They can be sent by the Citadel to serve at the holdings of [[lord]]s and [[landed knight]]s throughout the [[Seven Kingdoms]] of [[Westeros]], from the [[Arbor]] to the [[Wall]],{{Ref|ACOK|10}} but not in the lands [[beyond the Wall]]. If a lord does not have a maester in his service, he is seen as unimportant.{{Ref|ADWD|37}} Maesters normally serve only at castles,{{Ref|ACOK|19}}{{Ref|AFfC|0}} but they can accompany their lord when he travels{{Ref|AGOT|33}}{{Ref|ADWD|37}} or be sent on missions by the lord.{{Ref|ADWD|6}}

[[Aegon I Targaryen]] and his sister wives each had a maester during [[Aegon's Conquest|the Conquest]], and as king Aegon had as many as six serving him, separate from the Grand Maester.{{Ref|FAB|3}} A lord has to pay the Citadel for a maester's service,{{Ref|SSM|1284}} and some [[smallfolk]] believe that maesters would be unwilling to help them.{{Ref|ACOK|19}}

Maesters wear a collar, which is supposed to remind him of the realm he serves.{{Ref|AGOT|41}} When he completes his education and takes his vows, a maester puts aside his House name.{{Ref|AGOT|60}} Although he is supposed to be loyal to the seat to which he is assigned, regardless of the changes in control of that holding,{{Ref|ACOK|66}} old allegiances or loyalties might continue linger.{{Ref|ADWD|37}}

While the [[ironborn]] have rejected the [[Faith of the Seven]], most recognize the usefulness of having maesters in the [[Iron Islands]].{{Ref|AFFC|29}}{{Ref|ADWD|56}} Ironborn lords who venture more frequently to the [[green lands]] are more likely to keep maesters in their retinues.{{Ref|AFFC|19}} Ironmen who support the [[Old Way]], such as [[Aeron Greyjoy]], a [[priest of the Drowned God]], are more likely to disapprove of maesters, however.{{Ref|AFFC|1}} Some Westerosi nobles, such as [[Maekar I Targaryen|Maekar Targaryen]] and [[Randyll Tarly]], have also opposed their own sons choosing a life of service by becoming maesters.{{Ref|AFFC|5}}

===Archmaesters===
Archmaesters are maesters who have demonstrated mastery of a particular subject. They receive a mask, ring, and rod in the metal corresponding to the link of the maester's chain which signifies their expertise on the topic.{{Ref|AFfC|0}} Archmaesters teach the students at the Citadel in their subject of expertise, and they judge whether a novice or an acolyte has shown enough knowledge on their subject to receive a link for their chain.{{Ref|AFfC|0}} While maesters are directly involved in a [[lord]]'s household—teaching children, healing wounds, tending to [[raven]]s—archmaesters can dedicate themselves to research and study.{{Ref|FAB|11}}

Archmaesters have the right to sit on the [[Conclave]], a council which elects the Grand Maester{{Ref|ASOS|12}} and determines when the seasons change.{{Ref|ACOK|0}}{{Ref|ACOK|7}} The meetings of the Conclave are conducted behind closed doors at the Citadel.{{Ref|ASOS|12}}

Each archmaester is said to carry a heavy, black iron key that will open most of the doors in the Citadel. They keep them close on their person, or hide them well.{{Ref|AFfC|0}}

===Grand Maesters===
[[File:Joshua Cairos - GrandMaester Pycelle.jpg|thumb|300px|Grand Maester [[Pycelle]], by Joshua Cairós © Fantasy Flight Games]]
The office of Grand Maester was created in {{Date|5}} by [[Aegon I Targaryen]], who asked for an archmaester to advise him on governing the [[Seven Kingdoms]].{{Ref|FAB|3}} Sworn to serve the whole realm,{{Ref|AFFC|39}} the Grand Maester sits on the king's [[small council]] and acts as one of the royal advisers.{{Ref|AGOT|20}} As the Citadel's representative at the royal court of the [[King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men|king]] on the [[Iron Throne]]{{Ref|AWOIAF|Maesters}} the Grand Maester is elected by the Conclave, and only the Conclave can unmake him again, although several Grand Maesters have died violently. King [[Maegor I Targaryen]] executed three Grand Maesters during his reign{{Ref|ASOS|12}}—[[Gawen]], [[Myros]], and [[Desmond (Grand Maester)|Desmond]]{{Ref|TWOIAF|4|3}}—while [[Aegon II Targaryen]] had Grand Maester [[Gerardys]] fed to his dragon [[Sunfyre]].{{Ref|ASOS|12}} Grand Maester [[Hareth (Maester)|Hareth]] was executed as well, on grounds of treason.{{Ref|ASOS|36}}{{Ref|ASOS|12}}

Although the Conclave puts effort into demonstrating their consideration of ability before birth, this is generally a pretense, as family status often affects their final choice for Grand Maester.{{Ref|ASOS|12}}

More than forty men have served the Iron Throne as Grand Maester.{{Ref|FAB|10}} Grand Maesters are generally older men. [[Kaeth]] was chosen as Grand Maester at the age of eighty, [[Ellendor]] at almost ninety, and [[Merion]] at the age of sixty-six. After all three died within a short time span, King [[Aegon V Targaryen]] suggested to the Conclave that a younger man might be better. As such, [[Pycelle]], aged forty-two, was raised to the office.{{Ref|AFFC|36}}

The Grand Maester wears many interwoven maester chains to indicate his high office, but these do not reflect his true studies.{{fact}} Gems are woven into the chains.{{Ref|AGoT|20}}

===Seneschal===
The governance of the [[Citadel]] is held by the [[Seneschal]], who is chosen from among the archmaesters. A new Seneschal is appointed annually. Because the archmaesters tend to see the office as a thankless task, as it takes them away from their true work, the Seneschal is selected by lot, with the one who draws the black stone taking on the office.{{Ref|AFFC|45}} When the archmaester who draws the black stone is not capable of fulfilling his duties as Seneschal, another archmaester might volunteer to serve his term instead.{{Ref|AFFC|45}}

==Practices==
===Education===
[[File:Maester studies.jpg|thumb|350px|A maester at his studies, in ''[[Game of Thrones]]'': Complete Guide to Westeros]]
Boys and young men from all over [[Westeros]] come to study, learn, and forge their chains at the [[Citadel]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|7|7|4}} There is no age requirement,{{Ref|SSM|1022}} and despite the prejudice of the archmaesters to status of birth, males of every social status are allowed to forge their chain. As such, [[Smallfolk|baseborns]] (e.g., [[Pate (novice)|Pate]]),{{Ref|AFfC|0}} [[Bastardy|bastards]] (e.g., [[Walys]]){{Ref|ADWD|37}}, younger children of lords, and even royalty (e.g., Prince [[Oberyn Martell]],{{Ref|ASOS|36}} and Princes [[Aemon Targaryen (son of Maekar I)|Aemon]]{{Ref|AGOT|60}} and [[Vaegon Targaryen]]){{Ref|TWOIAF|4|4}} can study together at the Citadel.

Novices and acolytes are educated together. Archmaesters give open lectures, which the students can attend at will. Once a student believes he has sufficient knowledge on a particular subject, he can go before an archmaester to demonstrate his knowledge. If the archmaester judges the student’s knowledge to be proficient, he awards him with a link of a metal reflecting the topic.{{Ref|AFfC|0}}

Not all who start their studies will complete their chain. Oldtown is full of aging novices and acolytes who have never started their chains, or never finished forging them.{{Ref|SSM|1022}} Others leave the Citadel before completing their chain on purpose. [[Gunthor Hightower]] studied for several years at the Citadel,{{Ref|AFFC|45}} although it is not known whether he earned any links while there. Both Lord [[Lyonel Strong]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|7|3|1}} and Prince [[Oberyn Martell]]{{Ref|ASOS|36}} left the Citadel after forging six links. Some students learn only something about healing, and may become barbers, serving [[smallfolk]] with leeches, setting broken bones, and shaving and cutting their hair.{{Ref|AFfC|0}}

It is not known how long a student generally takes to forge a chain. Maester [[Yandel]] earned his first link in {{Date|285}} and completed his chain in {{Date|292}}, at the age of twenty,{{Ref|TWOIAF|1}} while [[Aemon Targaryen (son of Maekar I)|Aemon]], who took several more years to forge his chain,{{Refn|group="N"|According to [[Jeor Mormont]], Aemon was "nine or ten" years old when he was sent to the Citadel.{{Ref|ACoK|6}} As he completed his chain at the age of nineteen, it had taken him nine or ten years to complete his studies.}} took his maester's vows at the age of nineteen.{{Ref|AWOIAF|Aemon}} The speed at which a student earns his links differs between each student. While some might take a year per link (e.g., [[Armen]]),{{Ref|AFfC|0}} exceptional students might earn as many as three links within a year (e.g., [[Alleras]]),{{Ref|AFfC|0}} possibly even more.{{Refn|group="N"|[[Aemon Targaryen (son of Maekar I)|Aemon]] had started his education at the age of "nine or ten", and earned "half a dozen" links by the time [[Aerys I Targaryen]] ascended the Iron Throne in {{Date|209}},{{Ref|ACoK|6}} one or two years after arriving at the Citadel.}}

===Citadel===
[[File:Maester Oath.jpg|thumb|350px|A maester taking the oath, in ''[[Game of Thrones]]'': Complete Guide to Westeros]]
Students are educated at the [[Citadel]], a complex of buildings found in [[Oldtown]]. The Citadel is financed by the lords who pay for having a maester in their service, and from certain taxes that the Citadel collects at Oldtown.{{Ref|SSM|1284}}

===Maester's vows===
When an acolyte has completed his chain, he can swear a maester's vows. The night before, the acolytes must stand a vigil in a vault with a black [[glass candle]]. The acolytes are not allowed any other source of light, and has to spend the night in total darkness unless he can light the candle.{{Ref|AFfC|0}}

When an acolyte of noble birth takes his vows and dons his chain, he puts aside his House name.{{Ref|AGOT|60}} He swears sacred vows, promising to hold no lands or lordships,{{Ref|AFFC|17}} and to be celibate.{{Ref|ACOK|0}}

Maesters serving in the [[Night's Watch]] on the [[Wall]] are doubly sworn, and uphold both the maester's vows and the oaths of the Night's Watch{{Ref|SSM|2999}}

===Subjects of knowledge and tasks===
[[File:Kerry Barnett Linked Advisor.JPG|thumb|350px|A maester advises his lord, by Kerry Barnett © Fantasy Flight Games]]

The order of maesters are sometimes called the knights of the mind.{{Ref|AGOT|53}} Numerous subjects are taught at the Citadel. They include history, healing, herblore, the speech of ravens, the building of castles, navigating by the stars, the measurement of days and the marking of seasons.{{Ref|AGOT|53}} Maesters have performed autopsies for centuries to better understand the workings of the human body.{{Ref|AGOT|61}}{{Ref|AFFC|7}} They have observed that highborn girls get their first period at a younger age than lower born girls, and that very young mothers tend to have a significantly higher rate of death in childbirth.{{Ref|SSM|1050}} They make star maps,{{Ref|AGOT|66}} monitor temperature variations and the march of the seasons, so they can advise on what to plant and when to expect a harvest,{{Ref|SSM|1173}} and measure the length of the days, as to determine the change of the seasons.{{Ref|ACOK|0}} When the Conclave has decreed that the seasons have indeed changed, the Citadel sends out [[white raven]]s to the lords of Westeros, to herald the changing of the seasons.{{Ref|ACOK|0}}

Maesters advise their lords on the operation of their households and lands.{{Ref|AGOT|6}}{{Ref|ASOS|64}} Some lords trust their maesters to open and read letters, and to convey their contents to them. Others prefer to do so for themselves.{{Ref|ADWD|3}} Maesters can be tasked with writing letters for their lords as well, and might be trusted to read and write the letters of those lords who are illiterate.{{Ref|ADWD|37}} They are in charge of the [[raven]]s used as messengers. Although most ravens can only be trained to fly to one castle, a few can be trained to distinguish between two, and rarely even more.{{Ref|TWoW||[[Theon I (The Winds of Winter)|Theon I]]}} Maesters assist in childbirth,{{Ref|AGOT|6}} treat [[illness]]es,{{Ref|ASOS|36}} and teach children arithmetic, geometry, language, and history.{{Ref|AGOT|53}}{{Ref|ACOK|66}}{{Ref|ASOS|40}}{{Ref|ADWD|14}}

Even among the maesters who have earned a Valyrian link, representing the higher mysteries,{{Ref|ACOK|28}} there are those who believe that, though magic might have once been a mighty force in the world, it no longer is. They describe Valyria as the "last ember" of magic, which went out with the [[Doom of Valyria|Doom]].{{Ref|ACOK|28}} Most archmaesters do not care much for ideas concerning occult matters.{{Ref|ASoS|44}} The rare archmaester who does (e.g., [[Marwyn]]){{Ref|AFfC|0}} can expect it to impact his reputation. It is said that all those who study the higher mysteries try their own hands at sorcery eventually, but always fail.{{Ref|ACOK|28}}

Some subjects are forbidden in the Citadel, including cutting open living people,{{Ref|AFFC|7}} or practicing necromancy.{{Ref|ACOK|64}}

===Chain===
[[File:Mike Capprotti the chain.jpg|350px|thumb|Forging the chain, by Mike Capprotti © Fantasy Flight Games]]
A maester can be recognized by the chain he wears around his neck. The collar is intended to remind a maester of the realm he serves.{{Ref|AGOT|41}} The links of the chain can be made of every metal known to man.{{Ref|AGOT|20}} By earning their links, students "forge" their chain. Note, "forge" is metaphorical; though they do study metals at the Citadel, maesters do not necessarily train as blacksmiths.{{Ref|SSM|1171}} Maesters never remove their chain, not even when sleeping,{{Ref|AGOT|41}} and it is considered a great shame for a maester to surrender his chain.{{Ref|AFFC|35}} The Citadel can decide to strip a maester of his chain, thereby exiling him from the Citadel. This is done as a punishment for cutting open living people,{{Ref|AFFC|7}} or practicing necromancy.{{Ref|ACOK|64}} There may be other reasons the Citadel could strip a maester of their chain. It is unknown how many links one must earn to become a maester but it is known that you do not have to have every possible link, since for instance only on in a hundred maesters has a Valyrian steel link.{{Ref|ACOK|28}} It is known that it has to be more then nine links since the acolyte [[Lorcas]] has earned nine but is not yet eligible to become a maester.{{Ref|AFFC|Appendix}}

[[File:Maester link by timdurning.jpg|thumb|300px|A maester's chain, with links of different metals, by Tim Durning © Fantasy Flight Games]]
According to [[George R. R. Martin]], it is possible to earn multiple links of the same metal. Multiple links of the same metal on a maester's chain signifies the expertise of the maester on the subject.{{Ref|SSM|2781}} The metals of which a student can earn links for their chain include:

{{Columns|2|
*black [[iron]],{{Ref|AGOT|20}} signifying [[raven]]ry{{Ref|ACOK|28}}{{Ref|AFfC|0}}
*[[brass]]{{Ref|AGOT|20}}

}}

While there are only fifteen known links, and thus fifteen known subjects of expertise taught at the Citadel, there are twenty-one known current archmaesters of the Citadel, for only eight of whom a specialty is known.{{Ref|AFFC|Appendix}} It is currently unknown if each of these archmaesters are specialized in a separate subject, or whether multiple archmaesters can be specialized in the same subject. However the fact that Maester [[Gormon Tyrell|Gormon]] takes Archmaester [[Walgrave]]'s place in judging those attempting for the [[raven]]craft link,{{Ref|AFfC|0}} but is not an Archmaester himself is a strong indication that there can only be one Archmaester per subject.

Only one maester in a hundred holds a link of Valyrian steel.{{Ref|ACOK|28}}

==History==
Although the origin of the Citadel is disputed, the [[House Hightower|Hightowers]] are considered to have been instrumental in its founding,{{Ref|AFfC|Appendix}} as most accounts credit its foundation to Prince [[Peremore Hightower|Peremore the Twisted]], the second son of King [[Uthor of the High Tower]]. The curious Peremore invited numerous scholars, including wise men, teachers, priests, healers, singers, wizards, alchemists, and sorcerers, to [[Oldtown]]. After Peremore's death, his brother, King [[Urrigon Hightower|Urrigon]], granted land alongside the [[Honeywine]] to "Peremore's pets", who developed the tract into the maesters' Citadel.{{Ref|TWOIAF|7|7|4}}

Before the [[Doom of Valyria]], maesters and archmaesters often traveled to the Freehold of Valyria, searching for answers to the many questions they had.{{Ref|TWOIAF|7|7|4}}

In recent centuries, the maesters of the Citadel have supplanted the once powerful [[Alchemists' Guild]] through most of the [[Seven Kingdoms]].{{Ref|ACOK|20}} In {{Date|54}}, Queen [[Alysanne Targaryen]] unsuccessfully advised the [[Conclave]] to accept highborn girls into the Citadel.{{Ref|FAB|9}}

Archmaester [[Marwyn]] believes that the Citadel is behind the deaths of the last Targaryen [[dragon]]s, because of a conspiracy against magic and prophecy.{{Ref|AFFC|45}}

==Recent Events==
===''A Clash of Kings''===
[[File:Black Iron LinkRB.png|thumb|350px|A [[raven]] with a message, by Raymond Bonilla © Fantasy Flight Games]]
When the [[red comet]] appears, the maesters are among the first to notice.{{Ref|AGOT|66}}{{Ref|ACOK|0}}

The [[Conclave]] gathers to consider the reports and measurements made by maesters all over the [[Seven Kingdoms]]. Based on that information, they declare the summer is over, and send out [[white raven]]s to herald the changing of the seasons.{{Ref|ACOK|0}}{{Ref|ACOK|7}}

Acting as [[Hand of the King]], [[Tyrion Lannister]] has Grand Maester [[Pycelle]] thrown into the dungeons of the [[Red Keep]] as punishment for betraying his confidential information to Queen Regent [[Cersei Lannister]].{{Ref|ACOK|25}}

Accepting Pycelle's dismissal, the Conclave gathers to discuss who his successor should be. After pretending to consider two lowborn maesters, the Conclave comes close to electing Maester [[Gormon Tyrell|Gormon]], who had been born a [[House Tyrell|Tyrell]] of [[Highgarden]]. Thanks to the presence of his [[little birds]] at the [[Citadel]], Lord [[Varys]] learns of this, and warns Lord [[Tywin Lannister]], the Hand of the King. To prevent the Tyrells from gaining more influence at court, Tywin immediately restores Pycelle to his office.{{Ref|ASOS|12}}

===''A Feast for Crows''===
At the [[Citadel]], the novice [[Pate (novice)|Pate]] steals a black key which supposedly opens every door in the Citadel. He trades the key with the [[Alchemist]] for a [[Currency|golden dragon]].

When he sees they are going to succeed, Varys, the former [[master of whisperers]], assassinates both Pycelle and Kevan.{{Ref|ADWD|Epilogue}}

==Quotes==
{{Quote|There are some who call my order the [[knight]]s of the mind ... Have you ever thought that you might wear a maester's chain? There is no limit to what you might learn ... I can teach you history, healing, herblore. I can teach you the speech of [[raven]]s, and how to build a castle, and the way a sailor steers his ship by the [[astronomy|stars]]. I can teach you to measure the days and marks the seasons, and at the [[Citadel]] in [[Oldtown]] they can teach you a thousand things more. But, Bran, no man can teach you [[magic]].{{Ref|AGOT|53}}|[[Luwin]] to [[Bran Stark]]}}

{{Quote|'''Jon''': I remember once I asked Maester [[Luwin]] why he wore a chain around his throat. 
'''Aemon''': Go on. 
'''Jon''': He told me that a maester's collar is made of chain to remind him that he is sworn to serve. I asked why each link was a different metal. A [[silver]] chain would look much finer with his grey robes, I said. Maester Luwin laughed. A maester forges his chain with study, he told me. The different metals are each a different kind of learning, [[gold]] for the study of [[currency|money]] and accounts, silver for healing, [[iron]] for warcraft. And he said there were other meanings as well. The collar is supposed to remind a maester of [[Seven Kingdoms|the realm]] he serves, isn't that so? [[Lord]]s are gold and [[knight]]s [[steel]], but two links can't make a chain. You also need silver and iron and [[lead]], [[tin]] and [[copper]] and [[bronze]] and all the rest, and those are farmers and smiths and merchants and the like. A chain needs all sorts of metals, and a land needs all sorts of people.{{Ref|AGOT|41}}|[[Jon Snow]] and [[Aemon Targaryen (son of Maekar I)|Aemon]]}}

{{Quote|'''Jon''': Who are you? 
'''Aemon''': Only a maester of the [[Citadel]], bound in service to [[Castle Black]] and the [[Night's Watch]]. In my order, we put aside our house names when we take our vows and don the collar.{{Ref|AGOT|60}}|[[Jon Snow]] and [[Aemon Targaryen (son of Maekar I)|Aemon]]}}

{{Quote|No proper man would choose a life of [[thrall]]dom, nor forge a chain of servitude to wear about his throat.{{Ref|AFFC|1}}|thoughts of [[Aeron Greyjoy]]}}

{{Quote|The archmaesters are all craven at heart. The grey sheep, [[Marwyn]] calls them.{{Ref|AFFC|7}}|[[Qyburn]]}}

{{Quote|'''Barbrey''': If I were queen, the first thing I would do would be to kill all those grey rats. They scurry everywhere, living on the leavings of the [[lord]]s, chittering to one another, whispering in the ears of their masters. But who are the masters and who are the servants, truly? Every great lord has his maester, every lesser lord aspires to one. If you do not have a maester, it is taken to mean that you are of little consequence. The grey rats read and write our letters, even for such lords as cannot read themselves, and who can say for a certainty that they are not twisting the words for their own ends? What good are they, I ask you? 
'''Theon''': They heal. 
'''Barbrey''': They heal, yes. I never said they were not subtle. They tend to us when we are sick and injured, or distraught over the illness of a parent or a child. Whenever we are weakest and most vulnerable, there they are. Sometimes they heal us, and we are duly grateful. When they fail, they console us in our grief, and we are grateful for that as well. Out of gratitude we give them a place beneath our roof and make them privy to all our shames and secrets, a part of every council. And before too long, the ruler has become the ruled.{{Ref|ADWD|37}}|[[Barbrey Dustin]] and [[Theon Greyjoy]]}}

{{Quote|Isn't it clever how the maesters go only by one name, even those who had two when they first arrived at the [[Citadel]]? That way we cannot know who they truly are or where they come from.{{Ref|ADWD|37}}|[[Barbrey Dustin]] to [[Theon Greyjoy]]}}

Wet nurse

2024-08-25T20:53:18Z

Alyx Rivers: interlink

A '''wet nurse''' is a woman who breastfeeds children that are not her own. This may be due to the death of the mother in childbirth, or because the mother may not have enough milk, or for cultural reasons. According to [[Grand Maester]] [[Gyldayn]], most [[Feudalism#Social hierarchy|noblewomen]] do not nurse their own children,{{Ref|FAB|7}} but there are dozens of examples otherwise, among both nobles{{Refn|group="N"|Examples: {{hlist|class=inline|[[Catelyn Stark]]{{Ref|AGOT|6}} |[[Lysa Arryn]]{{Ref|AGOT|34}} |[[Edric Dayne]]'s mother (intended to){{Ref|ASOS|43}} |[[Maege Mormont]]{{Ref|ASOS|45}} |[[House Crakehall|Crakehall]] women{{Ref|ASOS|49}} |[[Sybelle Glover]]{{Ref|AFFC|11}} |[[Joanna Lannister]]{{Ref|AFFC|33}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|4|17}} |[[Elinor Costayne]]{{Ref|FAB|4}} |[[Rohanne Webber]]{{Ref|TSS}}}} }} and royalty.{{Refn|group="N"|Examples: {{hlist|class=inline|Queen [[Rhaenys Targaryen]]{{Ref|FAB|4}} |Princess [[Daella Targaryen (daughter of Jaehaerys I)|Daella Targaryen]] (intended to){{Ref|FAB|11}} |Queen [[Rhaella Targaryen]]{{Ref|TWOIAF|4|17}} |Princess [[Elia Martell]]{{Ref|ACOK|48}} |Queen [[Cersei Lannister]]{{Ref|AFFC|12}}}} }}

Children of different parents who breastfeed from a wet nurse at the same time are called [[milk brother]]s.{{Ref|ASOS|43}}{{Ref|SSM|1188}} A wet nurse may come to love the children she nurses.{{Ref|AFFC|45}} Wet nurses are known for telling fanciful tales to their charges.{{Ref|AGOT|0}}{{Ref|AGOT|13}}{{Ref|AGOT|19}}{{Ref|ACOK|50}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|8|4}}

==History==
In {{Date|7}}, Prince [[Aenys I Targaryen|Aenys Targaryen]] was born to King [[Aegon I Targaryen|Aegon I]] and Queen [[Rhaenys Targaryen|Rhaenys]]. Aenys was weak and sickly at birth, and cried all the time. He rejected wet nurses, and would only nurse at his mother's breast.{{Ref|FAB|4}}

In {{Date|47}}, King [[Maegor I Targaryen]] married his [[Black Brides]], three women of proven fertility whose husbands he had killed. [[Elinor Costayne]]'s sons were sent away from her after her wedding to Maegor; her eldest was fostered at the [[Eyrie]], her second son went to [[Highgarden]], and her youngest was given to a wet nurse, as Maegor was annoyed by Elinor nursing him.{{Ref|FAB|4}}

According to [[Grand Maester]] [[Gyldayn]], Queen [[Alyssa Velaryon]] did not breastfeed any of her children, who were thus all fed by wet nurses.{{Ref|FAB|7}}

It was said that Queen [[Alysanne Targaryen]] had learned to read before she was weaned, and the court [[fool]] would make jokes that she had spilled milk on [[Valyria]]n scrolls while drinking from her wet nurse.{{Ref|FAB|6}}

Queen Alysanne and King [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen]]'s daughter, Princess [[Daenerys Targaryen (daughter of Jaehaerys I)|Daenerys]] was talking and running before the age of one and a half, and her wet nurse described her as being in a great hurry.{{Ref|FAB|9}} When the six-year-old princess was stricken with the [[Shivers]] in {{Date|60}}, a wet nurse was summoned even though Daenerys had long been weaned, because some believed mother's milk could cure the disease.{{Ref|FAB|11}}

Prince [[Baelon Targaryen (son of Jaehaerys I)|Baelon]]'s wet nurses complained that the baby sucked harder than any other they had encountered.{{Ref|FAB|10}} Princess [[Saera Targaryen|Saera]] was a difficult child, and refused to be weaned until past the age of four. She wanted her mother's milk, and would scream and throw fits when Queen Alysanne had to dismiss another wet nurse. Prince [[Valerion Targaryen|Valerion]] was a small and sickly baby who never thrived, despite the attempts of half a dozen wet nurses.{{Ref|FAB|11}}

In {{Date|77}}, Prince Baelon and his wife Princess [[Alyssa Targaryen]] welcomed their first son, [[Viserys I Targaryen|Viserys]]. He was described as a plump and pleasant baby, who drank his wet nurse dry.{{Ref|FAB|11}}

In {{Date|82}}, Princess [[Daella Targaryen (daughter of Jaehaerys I)|Daella Targaryen]] gave birth to her daughter, [[Aemma Arryn]], and though she wished to nurse her child, [[disease|childbed fever]] had dried up her milk, and a wet nurse had to be sent for.{{Ref|FAB|11}}

In {{Date|114}}, King [[Viserys I Targaryen]] ordered his son [[Daeron Targaryen (son of Viserys I)|Daeron]] and his grandson [[Jacaerys Velaryon]] to be nursed by the same wet nurse, because he hoped to prevent enmity between them by raising them as [[milk brother]]s. Unfortunately, the plan was unsuccessful.{{Ref|FAB|12}}

In {{Date|130}}, during the [[Dance of the Dragons]], Prince [[Aemond Targaryen]] fell in love with [[Alys Rivers]], a mysterious woman and reported [[woods witch]] who was also a wet nurse at [[Harrenhal]].{{Ref|FAB|16}} Though reputable historians say Alys was the [[bastard]] daughter of Lord [[Lyonel Strong]], the fool [[Mushroom]]'s ''[[The Testimony of Mushroom|Testimony]]'' claims that Alys was far older than she looked and had nursed Lyonel's sons, and perhaps even Lyonel himself.{{Ref|FAB|14}} By {{Date|132}}, Alys was known as the "witch queen" of Harrenhal.{{Ref|FAB|20}}

In {{Date|136}}, trials were held for those involved in the conspiracy surrounding the end of the [[Lysene Spring]] and the [[secret siege]] of [[Maegor's Holdfast]]. Prince [[Viserys II Targaryen|Viserys Targaryen]] attended every day, often accompanied by his wife [[Larra Rogare]] and their son [[Aegon IV Targaryen|Aegon]], as well as the baby's wet nurse.{{Ref|FAB|23}}

[[Old Nan]] first came to [[Winterfell]] to nurse Lord [[Willam Stark]]'s son [[Brandon Stark (son of Willam)|Brandon]], whose [[Lyanne Glover|mother]] had died in childbirth. Unfortunately, Brandon died of a [[summer (season)|summer]] [[Disease|chill]] when he was three, but Nan continued to live at Winterfell, nursing many children over the years and telling them stories. Even after Nan grew too old to serve as a wet nurse, she continued to take care of the Stark children and tell them her tales.{{Ref|AGOT|24}}

In {{Date|255}}, Lord [[Tytos Lannister]] and his wife, Lady [[Jeyne Marbrand]], welcomed their fifth child, [[Gerion Lannister|Gerion]]. He was healthy, but his mother died within a month of his birth. Though Tytos was greatly saddened by the death of his wife, he soon became enamored of Gerion's wet nurse, and made her [[Tytos Lannister's first mistress|his first mistress]]. Tytos often retreated to her comforts rather than deal with ruling the [[westerlands]]. By {{Date|267}}, the wet nurse had been replaced by [[Tytos Lannister's second mistress|Tytos's second mistress]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|7|6|1}}

In {{Date|273}}, Lady [[Joanna Lannister]] died in childbirth, and her son [[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion]] was given to the care of a wet nurse.{{Ref|AGOT|21}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|4|17}} Tyrion's older sister, [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei]], wanted to show off the [[dwarf]] baby to [[Casterly Rock]]'s guests, [[Elia Martell|Elia]] and [[Oberyn Martell]]. The wet nurse tried to send them away, but Cersei threatened her, calling her a "milk cow" who [[Tongue mutilation|didn't need a tongue]].{{Ref|ASOS|38}}

When the infant Prince [[Jaehaerys Targaryen (son of Aerys II)|Jaehaerys Targaryen]] died in {{Date|274}}, his father, King [[Aerys II Targaryen|Aerys II]], angrily blamed the baby's wet nurse, and had her beheaded. Aerys later blamed [[Aerys II Targaryen's last mistress|his mistress]] and her family, before taking the child's death as a sign from the [[gods]] that he should be true to his wife alone.{{Ref|TWOIAF|4|17}}

The birth of Prince [[Viserys Targaryen]] in {{Date|276}} only seemed to make King Aerys II more fearful and obsessive. Though the baby was healthy, the king was terrified that he would die, and had the [[Kingsguard]] watch him day and night. Even Queen [[Rhaella Targaryen]] was forbidden to be alone with her son, and when her milk dried up, Aerys insisted that his own [[food taster]] drink from the breasts of the prince's wet nurse, to make sure she had not smeared [[poison]] on her nipples.{{Ref|TWOIAF|4|17}}

In {{Date|283}}, after the end of [[Robert's Rebellion]], Lord [[Eddard Stark]]'s new bride [[Catelyn Stark|Catelyn Tully]] traveled to [[Winterfell]] from [[Riverrun]] with their first baby, [[Robb Stark|Robb]]. When Catelyn arrived, she found that her husband's [[bastard]], [[Jon Snow]], and his wet nurse were already living there, which greatly upset Catelyn.{{Ref|AGOT|6}}

In {{Date|284}} on [[Dragonstone]], Queen Rhaella Targaryen gave birth to her daughter [[Daenerys Targaryen|Daenerys]], and died in childbirth. Shortly afterwards, King [[Robert I Baratheon]]'s brother [[Stannis Baratheon|Stannis]] plannned to [[Assault on Dragonstone|assault Dragonstone]]. As the Targaryen fleet had been destroyed by the storm during which Daenerys had been born, the garrison at Dragonstone planned to sell her and her brother Viserys to Robert. However, before they could enact this plan, Ser [[Willem Darry]] and several other loyal retainers rescued the children and smuggled them into exile, along with Daenerys's wet nurse, sailing to the [[Free City]] of [[Braavos]].{{Ref|AGOT|3}}

Old Empire of Ghis

The '''Old Empire of Ghis'''{{Ref|ADWD|67}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|2|5}} was one of the oldest known nations and cultures in the world. It reigned supreme over much of [[Essos]]. Its founding and golden age predate that of its successor, the [[Valyrian Freehold]], by thousands of years.

==Harpy==
The Old Empire used the [[Harpies|harpy]] emblem of [[Old Ghis]]. It depicted a fanged woman with leathery wings for arms, the legs of an [[eagle]], and the tail of [[scorpion]], clutching a thunderbolt in her talons.{{Ref|ASoS|23}}

==History==
===Rise===
The Old Empire rose from the ancient [[Old Ghis]] in [[Ghiscar]], a city founded by [[Grazdan the Great]]. Old Ghis fielded highly-disciplined [[Ghiscari legions|lockstep legions]] of free soldiers reputed to have been nearly unbeatable on the battlefield. The architecture of Old Ghis was dominated by massive brick towers and pyramids built using [[slave]] labor.{{Ref|ASOS|23}} Since the Ghiscari hills were rich in [[copper]], the Old Empire used [[bronze]] weapons.{{Ref|ADWD|16}}

After colonizing nearby land, Old Ghis began subjugating its neighbors.{{Ref|TWOIAF|2|5}} The Ghiscari expanded south to [[Sothoryos]] and the [[Basilisk Isles]], building [[Gorosh]] as a penal colony at [[Wyvern Point]], [[Zamettar]] at the mouth of the [[Zamoyos]], and [[Gogossos|Gorgai]] on the [[Isle of Tears]].{{Ref|AWOIAF|Gorosh}}

===Ghiscari Wars===
[[File:HBO Valyria v Ghis.png|thumb|350px|Five great wars were fought between Ghiscar and the [[Valyrian Freehold]], in ''[[Game of Thrones]]'': Complete Guide to Westeros]]
After the [[Valyrians]] discovered [[dragons]] and quickly rose to power, the Ghiscari wanted dragons for their own. [[Ghiscari wars|Five great wars]] were fought between Ghiscar and the [[Valyrian Freehold]],{{Ref|ASOS|27}} with the [[Tall Men]] of the [[Kingdom of Sarnor]] participating in three of the conflicts.{{Ref|TWOIAF|8|3|5}} The Ghiscari won some battles, as there is a large ancient [[tapestry]] in the [[Heart (Great Pyramid)|heart of the Great Pyramid]] in [[Meereen]] showing the last survivors of a defeated Valyrian army passing beneath the yoke and being chained.{{Ref|ADwD|67}} However, the Ghiscari eventually lost each war.{{Ref|ASOS|27}}

The Old Empire fell five thousand years ago.{{Ref|ASOS|23}} In the [[Fifth Ghiscari War]] the Valyrians smashed the Ghiscari legions and used their dragons to burn Old Ghis and its pyramids to the ground. The Valyrians sowed the fields with salt and sulfur to prevent any surviving inhabitants from returning.{{Ref|ASOS|23}}

===Aftermath===
With the destruction of [[Old Ghis]], the Old Empire collapsed and was conquered by the [[Valyrian Freehold]]. The Valyrians learned [[slavery]] from the Ghiscari and applied it to other lands.{{Ref|TWOIAF|2|6}}

After the [[Doom of Valyria]], the [[Slaver Cities]] of [[Slaver's Bay]] and [[New Ghis]] overthrew their Valyrian overlords and reestablished control of the slave trade.{{Ref|TWOIAF|2|5}} During the [[Century of Blood]], the [[Dothraki]] destroyed northern Ghiscari colonies, whose ruins are now called [[Krazaaj Has]],{{Ref|AWOIAF|Krazaaj Has}} [[Vaes Efe]],{{Ref|AWOIAF|Vaes Efe}} [[Vaes Diaf]],{{Ref|AWOIAF|Vaes Diaf}} and [[Vaes Mejhah]].{{Ref|AWOIAF|Vaes Mejhah}}

==Government==
The ruling structure of the Old Empire is unknown. Five thousand years after the empire's fall,{{Ref|ASOS|23}} [[Hizdahr zo Loraq]]'s list of titles includes those of "Scion of Old Ghis" and "Octarch of the Old Empire".{{Ref|ADWD|59}} This may imply that the empire was ruled by a council of eight, that it had eight regional governors underneath an emperor, or that octarch was a military title or rank. It is uncertain if Hizdahr's title has any basis in the Old Empire's practices.

==People==
The modern [[Ghiscari]] people are mongrels of a dozen races and peoples driven together by the empire and its fall. They are spread over a large area around [[Slaver's Bay]], west of the [[Gulf of Grief]].

Ghiscari have dense, dark amber skin and wiry hair with red highlights. Men of the [[Slaver Cities]] are known to wear their hairs teased, oiled, and twisted into fantastic shapes. They wear cloaks of yellow with copper disks sewn on. Their tunics are embroidered linen. Below the waist they wear pleated linen skirts and sandals. The richest classes, who are primarily made up of slavers, wear the ''[[tokar]]'', and are fond of rich foods, such as [[dog]]s, octopus stew, and duck eggs.{{Ref|ASoS|23}}

==Legacy==
[[File:Harpy.jpg|thumb|The [[Harpies|harpy]] is a Ghiscari symbol, in ''[[Game of Thrones]]'': Complete Guide to Westeros]]
The [[Old Ghiscari]] language, culture, and gods were largely forgotten over time, and the [[Ghiscari]] adopted the language of their Valyrian conquerors. Today, most speak a dialect of [[High Valyrian#Slaver Cities|High Valyrian]].{{Ref|ASoS|23}} The crumbling walls, stepped pyramids, and [[Harpies|harpy]] statues are all that remain of the Old Empire's glory days.

The [[Unsullied]] tactics are considered a remnant of Old Ghis. They are trained to fight in the same disciplined lock-step manner and are considered the legions of Old Ghis come again, but are [[slaves]] instead of free men. The free iron legions of [[New Ghis]] are also inspired by the [[Ghiscari legions|lockstep legions]] of old.{{Ref|TWOIAF|2|5}}

The [[Harpies|harpy]] was adopted as a symbol by all the [[Slaver Cities]] and their [[silver]] [[Currency|coins]] are stamped with a harpy. The [[Good Masters]] of [[Astapor]], the [[Wise Masters]] of [[Yunkai]], and the [[Great Masters]] of [[Meereen]] have been training slaves for generations, much as their predecessors did, and are experts at it.{{Ref|ASoS|23}}

==Known Cities==
*[[Astapor]]
*[[Krazaaj Has|Ghardaq]] (called Krazaaj Has by the [[Dothraki]])
*[[Ghozai]]
*[[Gogossos|Gorgai]] (called Gogossos by the [[Valyrians]])

[[File:Aegon on Balerion.jpg|thumb|450px|[[Aegon I Targaryen|Aegon the Conqueror]] upon [[Balerion]], the Black Dread, by Jordi González Escamilla, in ''[[The World of Ice & Fire]]'']]
'''Dragons''' are [[magic]]al flying and [[Dragonflame|fire-breathing]] reptilian [[Bestiary|creatures]]. They existed on the continents of [[Westeros]] and [[Essos]], but were considered to have been extinct for almost one hundred and fifty years. The only remaining traces of dragons were [[Dragonbone|skeletal]] remains and petrified [[dragon egg]]s. But during the events described in the [[A Song of Ice and Fire|main series of books]], the species is brought back to life when [[Daenerys Targaryen]] magically hatches three dragon eggs.{{Ref|AGOT|72}}

Newborn dragons are known as '''hatchlings'''; dragons that are older but not full-grown are known as '''drakes'''.{{Ref|FAB|9}} Unbonded and unridden dragons are referred to as '''wild dragons''', whereas dragons that have lost their riders are sometimes referred to as '''castle dragons'''.{{Ref|FAB|15}}

==Appearance==
{{See also|:Category:Images of dragons|l1=Images of dragons}}
[[File:Tomasz Jedruszek Dragon sight.jpg|thumb|400px|Dragons in flight, by Tomasz Jedruszek © Fantasy Flight Games]]
Dragons are scaled,{{Ref|AGOT|23}}{{Ref|ACOK|12}} reptilian creatures. They have four limbs: two wings, which are used as forelegs like [[bat]]s and [[w:Pterosaur|pterosaurs]],<ref>[[Not A Blog]]: [https://grrm.livejournal.com/493818.html?thread=24775162#t24775162 Awards, Awards (July 15th, 2016) - Comment (July 15, 2016)]</ref> and two rear legs.{{Ref|SSM|2267}}<ref>[[Not A Blog]]: [https://grrm.livejournal.com/327410.html?thread=17902322#t17902322 Dany and the Dragons] (July 9, 2013)</ref> [[George R. R. Martin]]'s dragons thereby differ from the traditional depiction of dragons as six-limbed creatures. Martin came to his decision because he was bothered by the fact that no [[animal]] in nature has ever evolved in such a way (i.e. four legs and two wings).{{Ref|SSM|2267}} Nonetheless, some ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'' artwork shows them with four legs and a detached pair of wings.

Dragons have strong jaws,{{Ref|FAB|17}} sharp teeth{{Ref|ACOK|48}} and claws,{{Ref|ACOK|12}} leathery wings,{{Ref|ADWD|68}}{{Ref|ADWD|5}} and long necks{{Ref|ADWD|52}} and tails,{{Ref|ADWD|68}} with horns on their heads.{{Ref|ACOK|12}} As young hatchlings, they are around the size of a [[cat]].{{Ref|ACOK|12}} If it has enough food and freedom, a dragon never stops growing.{{Ref|ASOS|8}}{{Ref|ADWD|68}} A dragon given such freedom can reach a span width of twenty feet within a year and a half.{{Ref|ADWD|52}} Dragons which are locked up, e.g., the [[House Targaryen|Targaryen]] dragons housed in the [[Dragonpit]] in [[King's Landing]], do not grow as large as dragons left free to fly as they wish.{{Ref|ASOS|8}}{{Ref|ADWD|68}} Although increasing age means increasing size, a larger size does not necessarily show a higher age: for example, the wild dragon [[Cannibal (dragon)|Cannibal]], reportedly living on [[Dragonstone]] even before the Targaryens arrived there, was smaller than [[Vhagar]] and [[Vermithor]],{{Ref|FAB|15}}{{Ref|FAB|17}} and Vermithor was considered bigger than [[Dreamfyre]], despite being a few years younger than the other dragon.{{Ref|FAB|17}}{{Ref|FAB|4}}{{Ref|FAB|16}} [[Balerion]], the largest Targaryen dragon in history, was large enough to swallow an [[aurochs]] or a [[mammoth]] from [[Ibben]] whole.{{Ref|AGOT|13}}

According to Martin, the color of a dragon has no bearing on its character.<ref>Twitter: [https://twitter.com/HBO/status/1560405581655162882 HBO George R.R. Martin Answers Fan Questions] (August 8, 2022)</ref>

Dragon [[bone]]s are black, due to their high [[iron]] content.{{Ref|AGOT|13}} The [[Skulls of the Targaryen dragons|polished skulls]] of the [[House Targaryen|Targaryen]] dragons look like glittering [[onyx]], and their teeth look like curved daggers of black [[diamond]].{{Ref|AGOT|13}}

==Characteristics==
[[File:T Jedruszek BathedinFlames.jpg|thumb|350px|The [[Field of Fire]], by Tomasz Jedruszek © Fantasy Flight Games]]
It is said that dragons are fire made flesh.{{Ref|ACOK|27}}{{Ref|ADWD|2}}{{Ref|ADWD|52}} Great heat emanates from dragons' bodies, to the point that they steam during cold nights.{{Ref|ACOK|12}} When a dragon is wounded, their blood is known to smoke.{{Ref|ADWD|52}}{{Ref|FAB|10}}{{Ref|FAB|15}} Smoke often comes from a dragon's mouth and nostrils,{{Ref|AGOT|72}}{{Ref|FAB|8}}{{Ref|FAB|15}} and [[dragonflame]] is expelled from a dragon's gullet and out of its mouth.{{Ref|ASOS|8}}

Dragons are carnivore creatures, eating meat as well as fish, and breathing [[Dragonflame|fire]] to cook their [[food]] before consuming it.{{Ref|ACOK|12}}{{Ref|FAB|15}} They are also known to exhibit behavior of opportunistic [[cannibalism]].{{Ref|FAB|15}}{{Ref|FAB|16}}

A dragon's scales are largely, but not entirely, impervious to flame, and serve as protection for the more vulnerable flesh and musculature beneath. As a dragon ages, its scales thicken and grow harder, affording even more protection,{{Ref|FAB|17}} leaving dragons nearly immune to fire,{{Ref|SSM|2267}}<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20051103091500/nrctc.edu/fhq/vol1iss3/00103009.htm/ "Interview with the Dragon" Copyright © 2003 Robert Shaw.]</ref> although they can still be wounded by [[dragonflame]] (e.g., [[Moondancer]]'s eyes being blinded by [[Sunfyre]]'s fire during the [[Dance of the Dragons]]). Similarly, as dragons age, the fire they breathe becomes hotter and fiercer. Where a hatchling's flame can set straw aflame, the flames of older dragons, like [[Balerion]] and [[Vhagar]] in the fullness of their power, could melt [[steel]] and stone.{{Ref|FAB|17}}

Dragons are believed to be intrinsically tied to [[magic]] in the world. Since the death of the [[last dragon]] in {{Date|153}}, it was said that [[Summer (season)|summers]] grew shorter and the [[winter]]s colder and crueler,{{Ref|THK}} while magical spells became less powerful.{{Ref|ACOK|49}}

===Life and death===
[[File:Deaths of Lucerys and Arrax.jpg|thumb|350px|[[Vhagar]] kills [[Arrax]] in the [[fight above Shipbreaker Bay]], by Chase Stone, in ''[[The World of Ice & Fire]]'']]
The lifespan of dragons is many times that of a human, though their maximum natural lifespan is difficult to determine: as beasts of war, most of the known examples died in battle.{{Ref|ASOS|8}} Balerion, the largest and oldest Targaryen dragon, was already alive when House Targaryen moved from [[Valyria]] to [[Dragonstone]] in {{Date|-114}},{{Ref|FAB|1}} and died of old age{{Ref|FAB|11}}<ref>[[Not A Blog]]: [https://grrm.livejournal.com/360936.html?thread=18791400#t18791400 The Rogues are Coming (March 12, 2014), Reply to question (March 12, 2014)]</ref> in {{Date|94}}{{Ref|FAB|12}} during the reign of King [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen]]. Balerion was at least two hundred and seven years old when he died,{{Ref|ASOS|8}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|3|1}} but as the only known example of a dragon who died of old age, it is unclear if this should be considered typical. It is possible that the wild dragon [[Cannibal (dragon)|Cannibal]], whose date and cause of death are unknown, was about two hundred and fifty years old during the reign of [[Aegon III Targaryen]], if there is truth to the claim that he was living on [[Dragonstone]] even before the Targaryens arrived there.{{Ref|FAB|15}}

Dragons are not invulnerable. The eyes are where a dragon is most vulnerable, and the brain behind them.{{Ref|ADWD|57}} A [[w:Scorpio (weapon)|scorpion]]'s [[iron]] bolt through the eye killed [[Meraxes]],{{Ref|FAB|2}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|7|9|6}} and three arrows through the eye [[Gift of mercy|mercy killed]] a greatly wounded [[Tessarion]].{{Ref|FAB|17}} Unlike in stories, a dragon's underbelly scales are just as strong as those along their back and flanks.{{Ref|ADWD|57}} Young dragons, with their softer scales, are more vulnerable than older ones; on [[Aegon III Targaryen|his rider]]'s first flight, [[Stormcloud]] was hit by a scorpion bolt through his neck and shot by dozens of arrows into his belly, and died within the hour.{{Ref|FAB|15}} [[Vermax]]'s belly may have been torn by a grapnel, though the dragon definitely died when it became tangled in a sinking ship.{{Ref|FAB|15}} Tales also speak of killing dragons with a spear down the gullet, but this is known to be impossible.{{Ref|ADWD|57}} Still, five dragons were killed in the [[storming of the Dragonpit]], some with axes, spears, and swords, some crushed under stone or by strangulation.{{Ref|FAB|17}}

Though it is rare for a man to be a [[dragonslayer]], dragons have often been known to wound and kill other dragons, both in Westeros and [[Valyria]].{{Ref|FAB|13}} Many dragons killed each other during the [[Dance of the Dragons]] ({{Date|129|131}}), using their teeth and claws. [[Meleys]] half tore off [[Sunfyre]]'s wing,{{Ref|FAB|15}} and Sunfyre was also wounded by [[Moondancer]], though not without blinding the other dragon's eyes with his flame.{{Ref|FAB|17}} In a [[Second Battle of Tumbleton|three-way fight]] between dragons, [[Vermithor]] ripped [[Seasmoke]]'s head off, before he died from the wounds given to him by that dragon and by Tessarion.{{Ref|FAB|17}} Earlier, Balerion crushed [[Quicksilver]]'s neck with his teeth while tearing off her wing with his claws.{{Ref|FAB|4}} When Balerion returned from a possible journey to Valyria with Princess [[Aerea Targaryen]], the dragon had half-healed scars and bloody wounds from an unknown cause, including a nearly nine foot rent down his side.{{Ref|FAB|10}}

===Reproduction===
[[File: Alysanne and Jaehaerys on Silverwing and Vermithor.jpg|thumb|350px|[[Vermithor]] and [[Silverwing]] were an apparently mated pair of dragons, echoing their first [[Dragonrider|riders]], King [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen|Jaehaerys]] and Queen [[Alysanne Targaryen]]. Art by Sanrixian ©]]
Historians, like [[Septon]] [[Barth]], [[Grand Maester]] [[Munkun]], and [[Maester]] [[Thomax]], disagree on the mating habits of dragons.{{Ref|ADWD|14}} Dragons lay large, scaled [[Dragon egg|eggs]] to reproduce.{{Ref|AFFC|35}} According to Archmaester [[Gyldayn]], and agreed upon by Maester [[Yandel]], the ability of a dragon to lay eggs is proof that said dragon is female. When a dragon is never observed to have laid eggs, this is taken as proof that it must have been male.{{Ref|TWOIAF|7|1|6}} However, according to Barth and Maester [[Aemon Targaryen (son of Maekar I)|Aemon]], dragons have no fixed gender, but are ''“now one and now the other, as changeable as flame”''.{{Ref|AFFC|35}} Barth believed that dragons can change sex at need,{{Ref|TWOIAF|7|1|6}}{{Ref|AFFC|35}} but Maester [[Anson]] believes this to be erroneous, and states in his ''[[Truth (book)|Truth]]'' that Barth's statement is simply a misunderstood esoteric metaphor.{{Ref|TWOIAF|7|1|6}}

Dragons believed to be female, e.g., [[Syrax]],{{Ref|ADWD|8}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|4|5}}{{Ref|FAB|12}} [[Dreamfyre]],{{Ref|FAB|8}} [[Tessarion]],{{Ref|FAB|12}} and [[Meleys]],{{Ref|FAB|11}} are referred to as a ''she-dragon'' or sometimes a ''queen''.{{Ref|TWOIAF|4|6}}

It is implied that the bonds of a [[dragonrider]] and their dragon may affect the dragon's mating habits. King [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen]]'s dragon Vermithor often coiled with his Queen [[Alysanne Targaryen]]'s [[Silverwing]], even five decades after their riders' deaths.{{Ref|FAB|17}} [[Daemon Targaryen]] and his wife [[Laena Velaryon]] often visited Dragonstone on their dragons [[Caraxes]] and Vhagar to fly with [[Rhaenyra Targaryen]] and [[Syrax]], and during that period Syrax produced several clutches of eggs.{{Ref|FAB|12}}

Traditionally, Targaryen princes received a dragon's egg in their cradle, allowing the infants to bond with the dragons as soon as the eggs hatched.{{Ref|FAB|12}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|4|5}} This tradition supposedly started during the reign of King [[Aegon I Targaryen]], when Princess [[Rhaena Targaryen (daughter of Aenys I)|Rhaena Targaryen]] placed a dragon egg in the cradles of her younger siblings, [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen|Jaehaerys]] and [[Alysanne Targaryen|Alysanne]] shortly after their births.{{Ref|FAB|9}}{{Ref|FAB|4}} From these two eggs, the dragons [[Vermithor]] and [[Silverwing]] hatched.{{Ref|FAB|4}} During the rule of King [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen]], the king placed an egg in the cradle of his newborn son, [[Aemon Targaryen (son of Jaehaerys I)|Aemon]], in {{Date|55}}, at the suggestion of Queen [[Alysanne Targaryen]].{{Ref|FAB|10}} During the reign of King [[Viserys I Targaryen]], placing a dragon egg in the cradle of a newborn princeling became truly customary.{{Ref|FAB|12}} [[Jacaerys Velaryon]], [[Lucerys Velaryon]], [[Joffrey Velaryon]],{{Ref|FAB|12}} [[Viserys II Targaryen|Viserys Targaryen]], [[Jaehaerys Targaryen (son of Aegon II)|Jaehaerys Targaryen]], [[Jaehaera Targaryen]], and [[Maelor Targaryen]]{{Ref|FAB|12}} are all known to have received an egg in their cradle during Viserys I's reign. During the reign of King [[Aegon III Targaryen]], eggs were placed in the cradles of Prince [[Aegon IV Targaryen|Aegon]], Prince [[Aemon Targaryen (son of Viserys II)|Aemon]], and Lady [[Laena Velaryon (daughter of Alyn)|Laena Velaryon]].{{Ref|FAB|23}} However, not every hatchling lived to maturity, as seen with [[Rhaena Targaryen (daughter of Daemon)|Rhaena of Pentos]], whose egg hatched into a broken thing that only lived a few hours.{{Ref|FAB|15}}

Un-hatched eggs can become petrified at an old age, turning to stone.{{Ref|AGOT|11}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|4|17}}

Dragon eggs are highly valuable, for their beauty and rarity,{{Ref|AGOT|46}} as well as their link to monarchial legitimacy and potential to hatch a dragon.{{Ref|TMK}}{{Ref|TSS}}

There are many songs and tales of legendary [[dragonslayer]]s, most existing long before dragons definitely arrived in Westeros.{{Ref|TWOIAF|7|7|2}}{{Ref|ADWD|8}}{{Ref|AFFC|20}}

===Dragonriders===
{{Main|Dragonrider}}
[[File:Queen Alysanne by Trishkell III.png|thumb|350px|Queen [[Alysanne Targaryen]] riding her dragon [[Silverwing]], by Emile Denis © Green Ronin Publishing]]
Dragons are intelligent creatures{{Ref|SSM|2267}} which can be trained to serve as battle mounts and understand vocal commands. They are said to be capricious in nature,{{Ref|ADWD|5}} and have to be trained to keep them from laying waste to everything around them.{{Ref|ACOK|40}} However, dragons will not allow everyone to mount them. In [[Valyria]], the noble-born dragonriding families, the [[dragonlord]] families, frequently [[Incest|married brother to sister]] to keep the bloodline pure,{{Ref|TWOIAF|4|2}} and it is generally believed that Valyrian heritage plays a part. During the civil war known as the [[Dance of the Dragons]], Prince [[Jacaerys Velaryon]] called upon Targaryen [[bastard]]s and their descendants, the so-called [[dragonseeds]], to try and mount a dragon. Regardless, men without Valyrian descent made their attempts as well.{{Ref|FAB|15}} Having Valyrian blood (no matter how directly) is not a guarantee that bonding with a dragon will be successful.{{Ref|ADWD|68}}

Once a dragon has bonded with a rider, that dragon will not allow anyone else to mount it alone while its rider lives, no matter how familiar said person might be to the dragon.{{Ref|FAB|17}} But when the person bonded to the dragon is on the dragon's back, they may take a passenger.{{Ref|FAB|1}}{{Ref|FAB|16}} When the rider of a dragon dies, that dragon can bond with a new rider.{{Ref|FAB|11}} No rider has ever ridden a different dragon while their current dragon was alive.{{Ref|ADWD|50}} However, when Prince [[Viserys I Targaryen|Viserys Targaryen]]'s dragon [[Balerion]] died, according to Martin, "[Viserys] did not take a second dragon",<ref>[[Not A Blog]]: [https://grrm.livejournal.com/360936.html?thread=18786792#/t18786792 The Rogues are Coming... (March 12, 2014), Comment (March 12, 2014)]</ref> leaving the possibility that a rider might bond with a new dragon after his/her first dragon has died. Indeed, Queen [[Rhaenyra Targaryen]], following the death of her dragon [[Syrax]], insisted on finding more dragon eggs, as she "must have another dragon",{{Ref|FAB|17}} as did King [[Aegon II Targaryen]] after the death of his dragon [[Sunfyre]].{{Ref|FAB|18}} Dragons who have had a rider once before are easier to bond with than wild dragons.{{Ref|FAB|15}}

A dragon might to be able to sense when its current rider is in distress or has died. This is implied in the case of the dragon [[Dreamfyre]], who, despite being locked and chained in the [[Dragonpit]], is said to have sensed when her rider [[Helaena Targaryen]] committed suicide in [[Maegor's Holdfast]], at the other side of [[King's Landing]].{{Ref|FAB|17}} The sense of connection between dragon and rider may also be mutual — when [[Drogon]] was impaled by a spear, he and his bonded owner, [[Daenerys Targaryen]], both screamed at the same moment, even though she had not yet ridden him.{{Ref|ADWD|52}}

Dragonriders usually ride their dragons using special saddles. Chains attached to the saddle are fastened to the rider's belt, for security.{{Ref|FAB|16}}{{Ref|FAB|17}} However, a rider could leave their chains dangling, if they wish.{{Ref|FAB|16}} A dragonrider may also ride without a saddle, their legs around the dragon's back or neck.{{Ref|ADWD|52}}{{Ref|ADWD|71}}{{Ref|FAB|17}}

==History==
===Ancient Dragons===
[[File:Magali Villeneuve Dragonlords.jpg|thumb|300px|[[Dragonlord]]s from the [[Valyrian Freehold]], by Magali Villeneuve, in ''[[The World of Ice & Fire]]'']]
In [[Barth]]'s ''[[Unnatural History]]'', the [[septon]] considered several legends regarding the origins of dragons. The [[Valyrians]] claimed that dragons sprang forth from the [[Fourteen Flames]], a ring of volcanoes on the [[Valyrian peninsula]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|2|5}} In [[Qarth]], tales state dragons came from a second [[moon]] in the sky, which was scalded by the [[sun]] and cracked like an egg, and a million dragons poured forth. Dragons are also said to have originated from the [[Shadow Lands]] beyond [[Asshai]] and the islands of the [[Jade Sea]].{{Ref|AGOT|23}} Ancient tales from Asshai claim that an unnamed people first tamed these dragons, brought them to [[Valyria]], and taught the Valyrians their arts before departing from the annals of history.{{Ref|TWOIAF|2|5}} Barth put forth the theory that dragons were created by Valyrian [[bloodmages]] using [[wyvern]]s, which are flying reptiles that do not breathe flame.{{Ref|TWOIAF|8|3|4}} Dragons may also be related to [[firewyrm]]s, which are wingless reptilian creatures that do breathe flame, that may have lived in the Fourteen Flames before the dragons arrived there.{{Ref|AFFC|22}}

Dragons populated most of the [[known world]] in ages past,{{Ref|SSM|1062}} and ancient dragon bones have been found as far north as [[Ib]] and as south as the jungles of [[Sothoryos]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|2|5}} The yellow emperor [[Chai Duq]] of [[Yi Ti]] is said to have kept a dragon at his court after marrying a noblewoman from Valyria.{{Ref|TWOIAF|8|4|1}}

In [[Westeros]], Ser [[Galladon of Morne]] is said to have slain a dragon with the [[Just Maid]],{{Ref|AFFC|20}} [[Crackbones]] allegedly twisted a dragon's neck into a knot,{{Ref|AFFC|20}} and [[Serwyn of the Mirror Shield]] slew the dragon [[Urrax]].{{Ref|ADWD|8}} [[Davos the Dragonslayer]] is a hero beloved in the [[Reach]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|7|7|2}} and dragons are also said to have once roosted on [[Battle Isle]] until the first [[House Hightower|Hightower]] put an end to them.{{Ref|TWOIAF|7|7|4}} [[Smallfolk]] claim that the hot springs below [[Winterfell]] are warmed by the breath of a subterranean dragon.{{Ref|TWOIAF|7|1|6}}

Outside of Westeros, dragons, [[demons]], and other creatures are said to inhabit the cliff caves above the [[Ash (river)|Ash]] north of [[Asshai]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|8|4|4}} [[Sea dragon]]s in the [[Sunset Sea]] and [[ice dragon]]s in the [[Shivering Sea]] are recalled in legends and folklore, but scholars have no proof of their existence, or how closely related they are to dragons.{{Ref|TWOIAF|7|5|1}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|8|3|6}} [[Nagga]] is said to have been the first [[sea dragon]].{{Ref|AFFC|19}}

===Valyrian Freehold===
{{Main|Valyrian Freehold}}
[[File:Valyrians find dragons.jpg|thumb|350px|The [[Valyria]]n shepherds finding dragons in the [[Fourteen Flames]], in ''[[Game of Thrones]]'': Histories & Lore]]

The [[Valyrians]] were originally a civilization of humble shepherds, who discovered dragons in the [[Fourteen Flames]], a ring of volcanoes on the [[Valyrian peninsula]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|2|5}} They mastered the art of raising dragons, and used them as weapons of war to carve out a massive empire, the [[Valyrian Freehold]]. Valyrians told tales of themselves that claimed they were descended from dragons, and were kin to the ones they now controlled.{{Ref|TWOIAF|2|5}} The Valyrians are said to have used binding [[spells]] and [[Sorcery|sorcerous]] [[dragon horn]]s to control their dragons.{{Ref|AFFC|19}}{{Ref|ADWD|71}}

The Valyrians used dragons to conquer the [[Old Empire of Ghis]] in the [[Ghiscari wars]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|2|5}} and hundreds of dragons were employed by Valyria during the [[Rhoynish Wars]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|2|8}}

On the day of the [[Doom of Valyria]] in {{Date|-102}}, the Fourteen Flames and every hill for five hundred miles exploded, filling the air with ash and smoke and fire, which killed even the dragons in the sky.{{Ref|ADWD|56}} The [[dragonlords]] and dragons gathered in Valyria were all killed. A few dragonlords in [[Lys]] and [[Tyrosh]] survived, but they were soon killed in the political chaos after the Doom, along with their dragons. In [[Qohor]], the dragonlord [[Aurion]] declared himself [[Emperor of Valyria]] and led a host of thirty thousand men toward Valyria, but he, his great dragon, and his followers were not seen again. The time of dragons in Essos was over.{{Ref|TWOIAF|2|9}}

===The Targaryen Dragons===
{{See also|House Targaryen}}
[[File:Fall of harrenhal by reneaigner.jpg|thumb|350px|[[Aegon I Targaryen|Aegon Targaryen]] and [[Balerion]] [[burning of Harrenhal|destroy]] [[Harrenhal]]. Art by René Aigner ©]]

After the Doom and the chaos afterward, the only dragons known to have survived were on the island of [[Dragonstone (island)|Dragonstone]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|2|9}} They belonged to [[House Targaryen]], who had brought five dragons from Valyria when Lord [[Aenar Targaryen]] and his family emigrated twelve years before, in {{Date|-114}}. Four of these dragons eventually died on Dragonstone, leaving only [[Balerion]]. However, the other dragons left eggs behind, and from these hatched [[Vhagar]] and [[Meraxes]].{{Ref|FAB|1}}

Balerion was eventually claimed by Lord [[Aegon I Targaryen|Aegon Targaryen]], some time before he married his sisters [[Visenya Targaryen|Visenya]] and [[Rhaenys Targaryen|Rhaenys]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|3|1}} Aegon became involved in the wars in the [[Disputed Lands]] when [[Pentos]] and [[Tyrosh]] approached him, inviting him to join a grand alliance against [[Volantis]]. Aegon flew Balerion to meet the [[Prince of Pentos]] and the [[magister]]s of the [[Free City]], then flew to [[Lys]] in time to set ablaze a [[Volantene]] fleet trying to take the city.{{Ref|TWOIAF|2|9}}{{Ref|ADWD|14}}

As the [[Century of Blood]] came to an end, Aegon's interest in [[Westeros]] grew. His sister-wife Visenya had claimed Vhagar, and his other sister-wife Rhaenys rode Meraxes. In {{Date|-2|1}}, Aegon and his sisters used Balerion, Vhagar, and Meraxes in their [[Wars of Conquest]] against the [[Seven Kingdoms]]. Dragons were instrumental in the [[burning of Harrenhal]] and the [[Field of Fire]], and the threat of dragons led to the submissions of [[Torrhen Stark]] and [[Sharra Arryn]].{{Ref|FAB|1}} Dragons were also used in the [[First Dornish War]], which caused the death of Rhaenys and Meraxes at the [[Hellholt]] in {{Date|10}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|4|1}}

Many dragons were hatched after [[Aegon's Conquest]]. During Aegon I's reign, "half a dozen" hatchlings were born on Dragonstone. One of the first was [[Quicksilver]], hatched in {{Date|7}}, who bonded with Aegon I's elder son and heir, [[Aenys I Targaryen|Aenys]]. Another two dragons hatched during the first year of Aenys's reign, in {{Date|38}}.{{Ref|FAB|4}} Dragon fought dragon for the first time since the [[Doom of Valyria]] in the [[Battle Beneath the Gods Eye]], resulting in the death of Quicksilver in {{Date|43}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|4|3}}{{Ref|FAB|4}}

Over the course of one hundred and fifty years, the Targaryens rode their dragons as a symbol of their power, and as a means of transport. In addition, a valuable [[gold]]en [[Currency|coin]] of the kingdom became known as a golden dragon.{{Ref|AGOT|16}} It is said that King [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen]] took six dragons with him to the [[north]], including Jaehaerys's [[Vermithor]] and Queen [[Alysanne Targaryen|Alysanne]]'s [[Silverwing]], to visit the [[Warden of the North|Warden]] of the region;{{Ref|ASOS|41}} however, it is possible that the story is just a fable, since the historical record of the visit does not mention that number of dragons.{{Ref|FAB|10}}

Balerion died of old age{{Ref|FAB|11}} in {{Date|94}}, late in the reign of Jaehaerys I.{{Ref|TWOIAF|4|4}} Jaehaerys's grandson and eventual successor [[Viserys I Targaryen|Viserys I]] was Balerion's rider at the time of its death.{{Ref|FAB|12}}<ref>[[Not A Blog]]: [https://grrm.livejournal.com/360936.html?thread=18791400#t18791400 The Rogues Are Coming... (Comment March 12, 2014)]</ref> This left Vhagar as the largest living dragon, and by {{Date|129}} she was approaching Balerion's size.{{Ref|FAB|16}}

By {{Date|129}}, on the eve of civil war between [[Rhaenyra Targaryen|Rhaenyra]] and [[Aegon II Targaryen|Aegon II]], there were twenty living dragons.{{Ref|FAB|13}} The largest and oldest dragons were Vhagar, Vermithor, Silverwing, [[Dreamfyre]], [[Meleys]], [[Caraxes]], and [[Syrax]]. Younger dragons still large enough to be ridden to war were [[Seasmoke]], [[Sunfyre]], [[Tessarion]], [[Vermax]], [[Arrax]], [[Tyraxes]], and [[Moondancer]]. [[Stormcloud]], [[Morghul]], and [[Shrykos]] were very young dragons, not yet big enough to ride.{{Ref|FAB|15}}

There were also three wild dragons living on [[Dragonstone]] which had never been successfully claimed by any rider: [[Grey Ghost]], [[Sheepstealer]], and the [[Cannibal (dragon)|Cannibal]]. Sheepstealer hatched when Jaehaerys I was still young, and the Cannibal was even older (none knew for certain when it had hatched), and thus they were also quite large by the time of the [[Dance of the Dragons]], while Grey Ghost was a younger and smaller beast.{{Ref|FAB|15}}

===Extinction and Attempts at Revival===
[[File:The Battle at Rook's Rest by Jota Saraiva.jpg|thumb|350px|[[Vhagar]], [[Sunfyre]], and [[Caraxes]] fight in the [[Battle at Rook's Rest]]. Art by Jota Saraiva ©]]
By the end of the reign of King [[Viserys I Targaryen]], twenty dragons were alive. The majority of these dragons died during the civil war called the [[Dance of the Dragons]], which began in {{Date|129}} and lasted until mid {{Date|131}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|4|5}} By the end of the Dance in {{Date|131}}, only four dragons remained alive: the wild [[Cannibal (dragon)|Cannibal]], never ridden; [[Sheepstealer]], hiding in the [[Mountains of the Moon]] with [[Nettles|its rider]]; [[Silverwing]], who had gone feral after the deaths of [[Ulf White|her rider]] and [[Vermithor|her mate]]; and the young dragon [[Morning]], who had hatched during the war.{{Ref|TWOIAF|4|5}} In {{Date|132}}, a messenger from [[Alys Rivers]], [[witch]] queen of [[Harrenhal]], claimed to have seen a dragon within the castle, though the truth of the matter is uncertain.{{Ref|FAB|20}}

There were still many dragon eggs left after the war, and at least a few hatched. Terrifyingly, one hatched a blind and wingless [[wyrm]] that attacked [[Laena Velaryon (daughter of Alyn)|its cradlemate]] and was killed.{{Ref|FAB|23}} At least two Dragonstone hatchlings were misshapen, and grew no bigger than [[Dog|mastiffs]] before they died.{{Ref|AGOT|13}} The [[last dragon]] was a green female, small and stunted, with withered wings.{{Ref|THK}} She died young in {{Date|153}}, during the reign of King [[Aegon III Targaryen]], thereafter known as the Dragonbane.{{Ref|AGOT|22}}{{Ref|THK}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|4|7}} She laid a clutch of five eggs,{{Ref|TMK}} which never hatched.{{Ref|THK}}

Archmaester [[Marwyn]] holds that the order of [[maesters]], with their secret goal to suppress [[magic]], was responsible for the extinction of dragons.{{Ref|AFFC|45}} According to Ser [[Arlan of Pennytree]], the summers became shorter after the last dragon died, and the winters longer and crueler.{{Ref|THK}}

[[File:Thomas Denmark dragonskulls.jpg|thumb|350px|The [[skulls of the Targaryen dragons]], by Thomas Denmark © Fantasy Flight Games]]
After their extinction, the only remnants of dragons were their [[Dragonbone|bones]],{{Ref|AGOT|13}} their skulls,{{Ref|AGOT|13}} and their eggs, which eventually turned to stone over time.{{Ref|TMK}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|4|9}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|4|17}} The eggs were highly valued for their beauty and exotic nature.{{Ref|AGOT|46}} The Targaryens had a collection of [[Skulls of the Targaryen dragons|nineteen dragon skulls]] of various sizes and ages, that they displayed on the walls of the [[Iron Throne|throne room]] in the [[Red Keep]]. The oldest was thousands of years old.{{Ref|AGOT|13}}

Many futile attempts were made to revive dragons. [[Aegon III Targaryen]] had nine mages cross the narrow sea to use their magics in attempt to hatch remaining dragon eggs.{{Ref|ASOS|54}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|4|7}} The pious King [[Baelor I Targaryen]] attempted to hatch his egg by praying over it.{{Ref|ASOS|54}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|4|9}} [[Aegon IV Targaryen]] ordered [[pyromancer]]s to build seven [[dragons (mechanical)|mechanical "dragons"]] that shot jets of [[wildfire]]. Hundreds of men died in a failed attempt to use them to invade [[Dorne]].{{Ref|ASOS|54}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|4|11}} Prince [[Aerion Targaryen]] drank wildfire, believing it would transform him into a dragon, but only died screaming.{{Ref|ASOS|54}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|4|14}} The [[tragedy of Summerhall]] resulted from the attempt of King [[Aegon V Targaryen]] to hatch dragon eggs.{{Ref|ASOS|25}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|4|15}} King [[Aerys II Targaryen]] attempted to hatch dragons from eggs found in the depths of Dragonstone, to no result.{{Ref|TWOIAF|4|17}} He may have believed [[Wildfire plot|his attempt to immolate King's Landing]] would transform him into a dragon.{{Ref|ASOS|37}}

'''Year 10 After the Conquest''' ('''10 AC''') is a year in the [[Years after Aegon's Conquest|Westerosi calendar]], the 10th after [[Aegon I Targaryen|Aegon]]'s crowning in [[Oldtown]] that maesters and educated people use as a reference to date the years.

In 10 AC the [[First Dornish War|Dornish War]] took a darker turn when [[Rhaenys Targaryen]] and her dragon [[Meraxes]] were shot down by a scorpion at [[Hellholt]].

After a failed attempt on the life of King [[Aegon I Targaryen|Aegon I]], [[Visenya Targaryen|Visenya]] convinced him to establish a body of seven sworn bodyguards that would be named the [[Kingsguard]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|4|1}}

'''Loren I Lannister''', called '''Loren the Last''', was the last [[King of the Rock]] and the head of [[House Lannister]] at the time of [[Aegon's Conquest]]. He submitted to the rule of [[House Targaryen]] after surviving the [[Field of Fire]], and became the first [[Lord of Casterly Rock]] and [[Warden of the West]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|7|6}}

Having taken up arms against Aegon the Conqueror alongside the [[King of the Reach]], Loren I and King [[Mern IX Gardener]] are remembered collectively as the [[Two Kings]].{{Ref|FAB|1}}

==History==
===Aegon's Conquest===
Prior to [[Aegon's Conquest]], Loren oversaw a brief period of peace with the Kingdom of the [[Reach]].{{Ref|TROTD|2|1|4}} After [[Aegon I Targaryen|Aegon the Conqueror]] landed on [[Westeros]], and set about conquering the [[Seven Kingdoms]], Loren used the peace between their kingdoms to make an alliance with [[Mern IX Gardener]], the [[King of the Reach]]. The [[Two Kings]] joined their hosts at [[Goldengrove]] in the northern part of the [[Reach]].{{Ref|FAB|1}}

Commanding the mightiest host in the history of the Seven Kingdoms, the armies of the [[Two Kings]] met Aegon's smaller host in the plains south of the [[Blackwater Rush]]. As Mern IX brought more men than Loren I, he commanded the center while Loren and his knights formed the right. The combined might of the Reach and [[westerlands|the west]] broke Aegon's formation of spearmen. However, Aegon and his sisters, [[Visenya Targaryen|Visenya]] and [[Rhaenys Targaryen]], took to the sky with their [[dragon]]s. Near four thousand men died that day on the [[Field of Fire]], including Mern. Loren rode through fire and smoke once he realized the battle was lost.{{Ref|FAB|1}}

[[File:Loren Kneels HBO.png|thumb|350px|left|Loren the Last bends the knee, in ''[[Game of Thrones]]'': Histories & Lore]]
Loren was captured the following day. After he submitted to the Targaryens, Aegon the Conqueror named Loren as [[Lord of Casterly Rock]] and [[Warden of the West]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|3|1}}{{Ref|AGOT|13}} Loren's actions led his bannermen to yield to [[House Targaryen]].{{Ref|FAB|1}} According to legend, Visenya was grateful that Loren had ridden to war instead of remaining within Casterly Rock, as she felt the seat of [[House Lannister]] would have been able to withstand even [[dragonflame]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|7|6|2}}

Aegon called upon his new followers to aid him against the [[north]]ern host of [[Torrhen Stark]]. Once at the [[Trident]], however, the [[King in the North]] submitted as well instead of opposing Aegon by force.{{Ref|FAB|1}} After the submission of the [[Iron Islands]], some suggested for the [[ironborn]] to be made vassals of the Lannisters.{{Ref|FAB|2}}

===Lord of Casterly Rock===
[[File:Loren the Last.png|thumb|300px|Loren in ''[[Game of Thrones]]'': Histories & Lore]]
The Queens Visenya and Rhaenys arranged marriages between noble houses from all over the [[Seven Kingdoms]], hoping to unite the realm. One of these marriages was the union between Loren's eldest son and heir with a noblewoman from [[House Redwyne]] of the [[Arbor]].{{Ref|FAB|3}}{{Refn|group="N"|The marriage may have been arranged only by Queen Visenya. Since Loren did not have a son until after his submission to King [[Aegon I Targaryen|Aegon]],{{Ref|AGOT|13}} around {{Date|-2}},{{Ref|TWOIAF|3|1}}, his eldest son was possibly too young to get married at the time of Queen Rhaenys's alleged death, in {{Date|10}}.{{Ref|FAB|2}}}}

Throughout the reign of Aegon the Conqueror, Casterly Rock had the honor of hosting the king numerous times during his [[royal progress]]es.{{Ref|FAB|3}} While the vast wealth of House Lannister remained untouched, Loren did not have close relations to [[House Targaryen]] and was too proud to scrabble for a place of prominence under the [[Iron Throne]]. As such, the Lannisters did not have a significant impact on the realm during the course of Loren's lifetime.{{Ref|TWOIAF|7|6|1}}

==Recent Events==
===''A Game of Thrones''===
[[Tyrion Lannister]] is grateful his ancestor chose to bend the knee and live.{{Ref|AGOT|13}}

==Family==
Loren had several sons, and his eldest son was wed to a [[House Redwyne|Redwyne]] of the [[Arbor]].{{Ref|FAB|3}} According to [[Tyrion Lannister]], Loren did not have a son until after his submission to [[Aegon I Targaryen|Aegon the Conqueror]],{{Ref|AGOT|13}} and Maester [[Yandel]] writes that Lord [[Lyman Lannister]] ruled a generation after Lord Loren.{{Ref|TWOIAF|7|6|1}} Furthermore, Princess [[Rhaena Targaryen (daughter of Aenys I)|Rhaena Targaryen]] once said about Lyman that he was raised on tales of the [[Field of Fire]], which concurs with the idea of Lyman being born few years after the Conquest.{{Ref|FAB|7}} Though it remains unconfirmed, it is likely Lyman was one of Loren's sons born after the Conquest.
