:''See also: [[:Category:Images of Eddison Tollett|Images of Eddison Tollett]]''
Eddison is very thin.{{Ref|aCoK|13}} He is dour, and grey-haired.{{Ref|aSoS|Prologue}} He has a dry and pessimistic sense of humor.

==History==
Dolorous Edd appears to have been born to a lesser branch of the [[House Tollet]], as he speaks of being raised in a crude house such as the poorer of the [[smallfolk]] might have. He was a squire{{ref|ACOK|13}} recruited to the [[Night's Watch]] by [[Yoren]].

==Recent Events==
===''A Clash of Kings''===
Tollett is part of the [[the great ranging]] [[beyond the Wall]].{{Ref|aCoK|23}}

[[File:Dolorous Edd.jpg|350px|left|thumb|Dolorous Edd - by Amok ©]]
===''A Storm of Swords''===
Edd survives the fight with the [[wights]] at the [[Battle of the Fist of the First Men|Fist of the First Men]]. He is among the survivors to make it back to [[Craster's Keep]].

Once at Craster's Keep Edd is one of the few men that takes [[Samwell Tarly]] seriously when he tells the men he slew an [[Others|Other]] with his [[dragonglass]] dagger. Edd, along with [[Dywen]], makes Sam and [[Grenn]] tell Lord Commander [[Jeor Mormont]] the tale.{{Ref|asos|33}} After the death of the Lord Commander during [[Mutiny at Craster's Keep|the mutiny]] over food, Edd flees with Grenn, [[Bedwyck|Giant]] and other loyalists back to the [[Wall]].

When the [[Weeper]] starts his assault near the [[Shadow Tower]], [[Bowen Marsh]] assembles the garrison of Castle Black, along with Edd, to aid [[Denys Mallister]].

Edd receives two votes during the election of the new Lord Commander,{{ref|ASOS|75}} but when [[Jon Snow]] becomes a viable candidate Edd backs him instead.{{Ref|aSoS|79}}

===''A Dance with Dragons''===
Edd carries on his duties as the Lord Commander's steward. He is one of the men brought along as muscle to assist Lord Commander [[Jon Snow]] in escorting [[Janos Slynt]] out of [[Castle Black]] to carry out his duties as garrison commander of [[Greyguard]]. Edd and [[Iron Emmett]] escort Slynt outside for his execution.{{ref|ADWD|7}}

Eventually, Lord Commander Snow re-assigns Edd chief steward of [[Long Barrow]], where Jon sent the [[spearwife|spearwives]], under the command of Iron Emmett.{{ref|adwd|35}}

==Quotes by Eddison==
{{Quote|The dead are likely dull fellows, full of tedious complaints—the ground's too cold, my gravestone should be larger, why does he get more worms than I do...{{ref|aCoK|13}}}}

{{Quote|Some dogs crawled atop me during the night. My cloak was almost dry when one of them pissed in it. Or perhaps it was [[Brown Bernarr]]. Have you noticed that the rain stopped the instant I had a roof above me? It will start again now that I’m back out. Gods and dogs alike delight to piss on me.{{ref|aCoK|23}}}}

{{Quote|There are worse ways to die than warm and drunk. I knew a brother drowned himself in [[wine]] once. It was a poor vintage, though, and his corpse did not improve it.{{ref|acok|43}}}}

{{Quote|Once they figure a way to work a dead [[horse]], we'll be next. Likely I'll be the first too. 'Edd' they'll say, 'dying's no excuse for laying down no more, so get on up and take this spear, you've got the watch tonight.' Well, I shouldn't be so gloomy. Might be I'll die before they work it out.{{ref|aSoS|33}}}} – Eddison, to [[Samwell Tarly]]

{{Quote|'''Eddison:''' I never win anything. The gods always smiled on [[Watt]], though. When the wildlings knocked him off the [[Bridge of Skulls]], somehow he landed in a nice deep pool of water. How lucky was that, missing all those rocks? '''Grenn:''' Was it a long fall? Did landing in the pool of water save his life? '''Eddison:''' No. He was dead already, from that axe in his head. Still, it was pretty lucky, missing the rocks.{{ref|aSoS|75}}}} – Eddison and [[Grenn]]

{{Quote|I just want to say to whoever is voting for me that I would certainly make an awful [[Lord Commander of the Night's Watch|Lord Commander]]. But so would all these others.{{ref|aSoS|75}}}}

{{Quote|'''Samwell:''' [[Jon Snow|Jon]] wants to see me? '''Eddison:''' As to that, I could not say. I never wanted to see half the things I’ve seen, and I’ve never seen half the things I wanted to. I don’t think wanting comes into it. You’d best go all the same.{{Ref|aFfC|5}}}} – [[Samwell Tarly]] and Eddison

{{Quote|My old [[septon]] used to say that books are dead men talking. Dead men should keep quiet, is what I say. No one wants to hear a dead man’s yabber.{{ref|aDwD|7}}}}

{{Quote|[[Long Barrow|Place]] was overrun with rats when we moved in. The [[spearwife|spearwives]] killed the nasty buggers. Now the place is overrun with spearwives. There’s days I want the rats back.{{ref|aDwD|58}}}}

'''House Harlaw of Harlaw''' is one of the most powerful houses from the [[Iron Islands]], ruling over the entire island of [[Harlaw]]. Their blazon is a silver scythe on black.{{ref|ACOK|11}}<ref>The Citadel. Heraldry: [http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/Heraldry/Houses/3/ Houses in the Iron Islands]</ref> Their motto has not appeared in the books.

All the other houses of Harlaw pledge fealty to them, including Houses [[House Volmark|Volmark]], [[House Stonetree|Stonetree]], [[House Myre|Myre]] and [[House Kenning of Harlaw|Kenning]]. Cadet branches of the Harlaws are located at [[House Harlaw of Grey Garden|Grey Garden]], [[House Harlaw of Harlaw Hall|Harlaw Hall]], [[House Harlaw of Harridan Hill|Harridan Hill]], and the [[House Harlaw of the Tower of Glimmering|Tower of Glimmering]].

==History==
The [[House Myre|Myres]] and the [[House Kenning|Kennings]] had been bitter foes in the past, but eventually submitted to the Harlaws.

The Harlaws' original keep was [[Harlaw Hall]], until Lord [[Theomore Harlaw]], the grandfather of Lord [[Rodrik Harlaw]]'s grandfather, constructed [[Ten Towers]]. Theomore had lost three newborn sons due to the dampness and unhealthiness of Harlaw Hall and decided to build a better located dwelling, but since Theomere was a man who used to change his opinion, he ended building ten different keeps that eventually were connected by wallwalks and covered bridges, creating the castle that would be known as the Ten Towers.

==Recent Events==
===''A Clash of Kings''===
Longships with the silver scythe of the Harlaws are seen by [[Theon Greyjoy]] at [[Lordsport]] after [[Balon Greyjoy]] calls his banners. When entering the great hall with his father's captains Theon sees some Harlaws from Harlaw.

[[Gevin Harlaw|Gevin]], [[Dykk Harlaw|Dykk]], and at least two other Harlaws join Theon on the raid to the [[North]] and the [[Battle of Winterfell|taking of Winterfell]]. They are probably slain by [[House Bolton|Bolton]] men in the [[Sack of Winterfell]].

===''A Feast for Crows''===
Lady [[Alannys Harlaw]] dwells on Harlaw with her brother, Lord [[Rodrik Harlaw]], and sister, Lady [[Gwynesse Harlaw|Gwynesse]].

After King [[Balon Greyjoy]]'s death and [[Euron Greyjoy]]'s seizure of the [[Seastone Chair]], Lord Rodrik summons the lords of the Iron Islands to Ten Towers on behalf of his niece [[Asha Greyjoy]]. [[Hotho Harlaw]] brought Archmaester [[Marwyn]]'s ''[[The Book of Lost Books]]'' from [[Oldtown]] trying to gain his favor, since he hoped to marry his daughter to Rodrik. Lord Rodrik offers to make Asha the heir to Ten Towers (though Ser Harras would still become head of the house), but she rejects this offer, choosing to seek the driftwood crown. Later, when speaking to Asha before the [[kingsmoot]], [[Victarion Greyjoy]] says that Hotho, not Harras, will be Rodrik's heir.

Lord Harlaw's ''[[Sea Song]]'' is seen on the shores of [[Old Wyk]] and [[Aeron Greyjoy]] spots the Harlaw scythe among the gathered banners for the kingsmoot. Rodrik offers full support to his niece Asha during the kingsmoot. His designated heir, Ser [[Harras Harlaw]], also supports her as one of her three champions, although it is unknown whether he does it for convictions or to please Lord Rodrik. Hotho offers his daughter to [[Victarion Greyjoy]] and supports him, but he is one of the first to shout Euron's name after he reveals his plans.

Lord Rodrik, Ser Harras and Hotho are part of the [[Battle of the Shield Islands|invasion of the Shield Islands]] commanded by King Euron. Hotho reports how Harras planted his standard beneath the [[House Grimm|Grimm]] castle and defied them to single combat. After seven champions had been defeated, Lord Grimm's septon decided [[Faith of the Seven|the gods]] had spoken and surrendered [[Grimston]].

Victarion sees Lords Rodrik Harlaw, [[Gorold Goodbrother]] and [[Dunstan Drumm]] talking at the yard of [[Oakenshield]]. The three are sharing their fear of a [[House Tyrell|Tyrell]] reprisal. Ser Harras is named Lord of [[Greyshield]] by Euron, a move Victarion interprets as a way to gain his loyalty at Lord Rodrik's cost. This also makes Hotho the new heir to Ten Towers. Victarion remembers Harras being a friend of [[Rodrik Greyjoy]], Balon's eldest son. Victarion had defeated Harras in his youth, but he wonders how his axe would now fare against Harras and his [[Valyrian steel]] blade, [[Nightfall]].

==House Harlaw at the end of the third century==

The known Harlaws during the timespan of the events described in ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'' are:
* Lord [[Rodrik Harlaw]], Lord of Harlaw, Lord of Ten Towers, Harlaw of Harlaw and captain of the ''[[Sea Song]]''. Called "the Reader" for his passion for books.
** Lady [[Gwynesse Harlaw]], his elder sister.
** Lady [[Alannys Harlaw]], his elder sister. Married to Lord [[Balon Greyjoy]].

More distant relatives of Lord Rodrik include:
* Ser [[Harras Harlaw]], Lord Rodrik's cousin and designated heir. The Knight of Grey Garden. Called "the Knight". His personal banner is the Harlaw scythe quartered with the peacock of his mother's [[House Serrett]].
* [[Hotho Harlaw]], Lord Rodrik's cousin, of the [[Tower of Glimmering]]. And ambitious man called "Hotho Humpback". His personal banner is the Harlaw scythe girdled within an embattled border.
* [[Boremund Harlaw]], Lord Rodrik's cousin. Master of [[Harridan Hill]]. Called "Boremund the Blue". Father to three unnamed sons. His personal banner is the Harlaw scythe over a blue field.
* [[Sigfryd Harlaw]], Lord Rodrik's great uncle. Master of [[Harlaw Hall]]. Called "Sigfryd Silverhair". He has sons and grandsons to follow him, but it is said that he intends to live forever. His personal banner is two scythes countercharged on a field divided bendwise.

With unspecified familiar relationship to the main branch there are also:
* [[Eerl Harlaw]] is one of the crew on [[Asha Greyjoy]]'s ship ''[[Black Wind]]''.
* [[Gevin Harlaw]].
* [[Dykk Harlaw]],

'''Smallfolk''' are the common people of [[Westeros]], akin to peasants. They are at the bottom of the social ladder. Most have to obey their local [[lord]], even though they may never catch a glimpse of him during their life. The nobility of Westeros have great power over the smallfolk.

==About==
Most smallfolk are poor, illiterate, and live very provincial, humble, simple lives. They do not have surnames. They dress in raw wool and dull brown roughspun.{{Ref|aFfC|26}} They use roads which are crooked muddy tracks that do not appear on parchment maps.{{Ref|aFfC|25}} They use [[w:Stick fighting|staffs]] as weapons.{{Ref|affc|28}} They often name their daughters after flowers and herbs.{{Ref|asos|2}} They are far removed from the major players of the game of thrones, but are affected by those decisions, good or bad.

===Rise in social status===
Even though they are born in the lowest social status in Westeros, it is possible for small folk to rise up in social status, by the means of their profession. Below are some examples:
* '''[[Knight|Knighthood]]'''. [[Hedge knight]]s were usually born as smallfolk, though higher positions are also possible. Some examples are Ser [[Arlan of Pennytree]], a hedgeknight, and Ser [[Duncan the Tall]], who even rose to the position of [[Lord Commander of the Kingsguard|Lord Commander]] of the [[Kingsguard]] of King [[Aegon V Targaryen]].
* '''Guards'''. It is possible for smallfolk to join the [[City Watch of King's Landing|City Watch]] in [[King's Landing]] or the [[Night's Watch]] with the possibility to occupy a commanding position.
* Smallfolk are also allowed to join the [[Citadel]] of [[Oldtown]], to study to become a '''maester'''.
* [[The Faith of the Seven]] allows all to become '''Septons''' or '''Septa's'''.
* The [[Poor Fellows]], a military order of the [[Faith Militant]], accept members regardlessly of their inheritance or their sex.

'''Robert Baratheon''' is the King of the [[Seven Kingdoms]] of [[Westeros]] and the head of [[House Baratheon of King's Landing]]. Robert was crowned king after winning the [[Robert's Rebellion|Rebellion]] which was named after him and taking the crown from [[Aerys II Targaryen]], his first cousin once removed. Robert fought the war to keep the hand of [[Lyanna Stark]], with the aid of her brother, his close friend, [[Eddard Stark]]. Due to Lyanna's death, however, Robert married [[Cersei Lannister]] to ensure political stability. Robert has three children with Cersei: [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]], [[Myrcella Baratheon|Myrcella]], and [[Tommen Baratheon|Tommen]]. In the [[Game of Thrones|TV series]] he is played by Mark Addy.

==Appearance and Character==
:''See also: [[:Category:Images of Robert Baratheon|Images of Robert Baratheon]]''
A large man, though not particularly intelligent, Robert was once a renowned warrior with a good battlefield voice.{{ref|AGOT|30}} In his youth he was described as very tall (Ned Stark estimates his height at six feet and six inches, with his brothers slightly shorter), broad shouldered and muscled like a maiden's fantasy. He kept himself clean shaven. However, after winning the crown he became overweight from excessive feasting and drinking, eventually gaining over eight stone in weight and growing a beard to hide his multiple chins.{{Ref|aGoT|4}}

Some of his favorite songs are "[[A Cask of Ale]]" and "[[Fifty-Four Tuns]]".{{Ref|aSoS|42}} He is known for his charm, outgoing and gregarious personality and remarkable ability to turn enemies into friends.

Robert's lusts became the subject of ribald drinking songs throughout the realm. According to Eddard Stark, Robert would promise a woman the world in the night and forget everything, including her, in the morning.{{ref|aGoT|35}}

== History ==
===Early Life===

Robert was the first son of Lady [[Cassana Estermont|Cassana]] and Lord [[Steffon Baratheon|Steffon]] Baratheon, head of [[House Baratheon]] and lord of the Stormlands. He was born and raised in the Baratheon family seat of [[Storm's End]]. He was a scant year older than his brother [[Stannis Baratheon|Stannis]]. Many years later a third Baratheon brother was born, [[Renly Baratheon|Renly]].

When they were still young, Robert and Stannis watched as their parents died in a shipwreck within sight of Storm's End, making Robert the Lord of Storm's End.{{Ref|aCoK|Prologue}} Lord Robert went to foster with Lord [[Jon Arryn]] at the [[Eyrie]] in the [[Vale of Arryn]], along with [[Eddard Stark]] of [[Winterfell]]. They soon became fast friends and Jon Arryn, who had no sons of his own, came to treat them as his own family.{{Ref|aGoT|2}}

Robert fell in love with Eddard's sister [[Lyanna Stark|Lyanna]],{{Ref|aGoT|4}} who was promised to him by her father, Lord [[Rickard Stark]].{{Ref|aGoT|35}} At the time Robert already had a bastard daughter, [[Mya Stone]], which led to Lyanna commenting that Robert would never keep to one bed.{{Ref|aGoT|35}} Some time after this event Lyanna was apparently kidnapped and taken by Crown Prince [[Rhaegar Targaryen]].{{Ref|aGoT|4}} The kidnapping set in motion a chain of events that lead to [[Robert's Rebellion]].

===Robert's Rebellion===
[[File:Battle of Summerhall Robert Baratheon.jpg|thumb|left|350px|Young Robert at the [[Battle of Summerhall]]]]
News of the kidnapping led Lyanna's eldest brother, [[Brandon Stark|Brandon]], and later her father, [[Rickard Stark|Rickard]], to [[King's Landing]] demanding justice. Both were executed by the Mad King, [[Aerys II Targaryen]], who demanded that Lord Jon Arryn turn over Robert and Eddard as well. Jon rose up in rebellion instead, with Eddard (now Lord of Winterfell) and Robert rallying [[the North]] and the [[Stormlands]] respectively.{{Ref|aGoT|2}} Robert, whose descent gave him the best claim to the throne of the three lords, soon became the leader of the revolt, which became known as [[Robert's Rebellion]]. At the [[Battle of Gulltown (Robert's Rebellion)|Battle of Gulltown]], Robert slew [[Marq Grafton]].

Robert began gathering his banners at Storm's End, but he was separated from his allies in the North. Moreover, some of his bannermen decided to remain loyal to [[Iron Throne]] and began gathering their strength at [[Summerhall]].{{Ref|aSoS|55}} Robert learned of this plan and [[Battle of Summerhall|defeated them all]], winning three battles in a single day. While attempting to link up with the forces from the North, Robert suffered a defeat at the [[Battle of Ashford]] and was later trapped in the town of [[Stoney Sept]] where he hid in a brothel and bedded nearly every whore while hiding there. {{Ref|aSoS|29}}
[[File:Robert vs Rhaegar.jpg|350px|thumb|Robert fighting [[Rhaegar Targaryen]] at the [[Battle of the Trident]]]]
A [[House Targaryen|Targaryen]] army eventually led by Lord [[Jon Connington]] arrived and began to search the town for Robert, who was saved when a rebel force from the North joined him and the [[Battle of the Bells]] began. {{Ref|aSoS|29}} He led the combined forces of Baratheon, Stark, Arryn, and [[House Tully|Tully]] to victory over the royal forces led by Rhaegar at the [[Battle of the Trident]] and personally killed the crown prince, securing victory.{{Ref|aGoT|4}} Before Robert's allies could reach King's Landing, Lord [[Tywin Lannister]] had forces from the [[Westerlands]] [[Sack of King's Landing|sack the capital]], during which the Mad King was killed.
[[File:Robert slays Rhaegar.jpg|350px|thumb|Robert slays Prince Rhaegar]]
Although he won the rebellion and killed Rhaegar, Robert's hatred of his slain foe had not diminished and when Tywin presented Robert with the mutilated bodies of [[Elia Martell|Rhaegar's wife]] and two young children, Robert was pleased they were dead. Eddard Stark, on the other hand, was outraged and disgusted by the act, calling it murder, and saying the young [[Aegon Targaryen|prince]] and [[Rhaenys Targaryen (daughter of Rhaegar)|princess]] were no more than babes. Robert's response was:

{{Quote|I see no babes, only dragonspawn.{{ref|aGoT|12}}}}

Even [[Jon Arryn]] could not cool the rage and argument that followed between Robert and Eddard. Eddard left the [[Red Keep]] in a black rage to relieve [[Storm's End]], where [[Stannis Baratheon|Stannis]] languished [[Siege of Storm's End|under siege]]. It took the death of Lyanna and their shared grief to reunite the pair in friendship.{{ref|aGoT|12}} Robert was thereafter haunted by her memory and the desire for further vengeance against the slain Rhaegar.{{Ref|aGoT|4}}

===Reign===
[[File:Henning Ludvigsen kingshonorguard.jpg|350px|left|thumb|Coronation of King Robert Baratheon - by Henning Ludvigsen ©]]
Robert's claim to the [[Iron Throne]] of the [[Seven Kingdoms]] was based on his grandmother being [[Rhaelle Targaryen]], daughter of King [[Aegon V Targaryen|Aegon V]], thus giving him a much stronger claim to the throne than the [[House Arryn|Arryns]], [[House Tully|Tullys]] or [[House Stark|Starks]].

With Aerys and Rhaegar dead and King's Landing fallen, the lords of the Seven Kingdoms swore fealty to Robert and accepted him as king. He pardoned many of his former enemies and won some over as allies. Those opposed to his reign, however, refer to Robert as the Usurper. Robert tasked [[Stannis Baratheon|Stannis]] with building a new fleet and capturing [[Dragonstone]], the last Targaryen-loyalist stronghold. Although Stannis commanded the [[assault on Dragonstone]], [[Viserys Targaryen|Viserys]] and [[Daenerys Targaryen]] were smuggled from the island beforehand, which angered the new king. Robert named Stannis Lord of Dragonstone and granted the Baratheons' ancestral seat of Storm's End to their young brother, [[Renly Baratheon|Renly]], which Stannis took as a slight.{{ref|ACOK|25}}

[[Dorne]] never forgot or forgave the fact that Robert condoned the cold-blooded murders of [[Elia Martell]] and her children, [[Rhaenys Targaryen (daughter of Rhaegar)|Rhaenys]] and [[Aegon Targaryen|Aegon]]. Lord [[Jon Arryn]] managed to negotiate a truce with Dorne and a grudging acceptance of Robert's reign. Robert appointed Jon Arryn as his [[Hand of the King]]. Jon Arryn, along with Stannis, held the Seven Kingdoms together while Robert ate, drank, hunted, and whored.
[[File:Robert Baratheon Cersei Lannister Wedding.jpg|thumb|left|375px|King Robert and his wife [[Cersei Lannister]] union]]
Robert began his reign by marrying [[Cersei Lannister]], Tywin's daughter, in {{Date|284}}. It was a political match intended to bring stability to the kingdom. The marriage was not a happy one. During their wedding night Robert, while drunk, accidentally whispered, "Lyanna", an act that earned him his new wife's hatred. Cersei bore three children: [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]], [[Myrcella Baratheon|Myrcella]] and [[Tommen Baratheon|Tommen]]. In his unhappiness Robert took to drink, feasting and sleeping with other women. In this way he had [[#Known bastards|several bastard children]].
[[File:Balon_kneels.png|thumb|[[Balon Greyjoy|Balon]] kneels before King Robert Baratheon|300px]]
Six years after taking the crown, Robert and Eddard joined forces again to crush the [[Greyjoy Rebellion]], which cemented Robert's position on the [[Iron Throne]].

Robert subsequently beggared the realm with the expense of his tournaments and feasts, despite the fact Aerys II had left treasure vaults overflowing with gold. Robert's spending eventually left the crown in debt of over six million golden dragons (borrowing heavily from the [[House Lannister|Lannisters]], the [[House Tyrell|Tyrells]], the [[Faith of the Seven|Faith]] and the [[Iron Bank of Braavos]]).

Due to his frequent whoring, Robert also sired many bastards. According to [[Donal Noye]], he changed by becoming a king, and not for the better.{{Ref|aCoK|6}} Robert Baratheon also learned to close his eyes to anything he did not wish to see, a fact best proven when he was presented with the bodies of Rhaegar's children.

===''A Game of Thrones''===
[[File:Jedruszek leaving Winterfell.jpg|500px|left|thumb|Robert and [[Eddard Stark|Eddard]] leaving [[Winterfell]] - Tomasz Jedruszek ©]]
When the [[Hand of the King]], Lord [[Jon Arryn]], dies suddenly, Robert journeys to [[Winterfell]] to meet the last person he truly trusts, Lord [[Eddard Stark]], after a long separation. Robert appears to Eddard a broken man, unhealthy and unhappy.{{Ref|aGoT|4}} Eddard reluctantly takes the position of Hand and comes to King's Landing. He, like Jon, does much of the work as Robert seldom bothers to attend [[small council]] meetings. Robert confesses to Ned that he dreams about giving up his crown and journeying to the [[Free Cities]] as a [[sellsword]] to spend his life warring and whoring, believing that is what he was made for; only the thought of his heir, [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]], on the [[Iron Throne]] with his mother, [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei]], whispering in his ear keeps Robert from indulging his fantasy.{{Ref|aGoT|12}}

When Robert calls a meeting to demand the death of the pregnant [[Daenerys Targaryen]], who is in exile, Eddard refuses to be a part of it and resigns his position in protest.{{Ref|aGoT|33}} After Eddard is injured in an ambush led by Ser [[Jaime Lannister]], Cersei's twin brother, Robert visits his friend and gives him back his badge of office, stating that if Ned refuses to take it, Robert will pin it on Jaime. While Robert is off on one of his hunts, Eddard discovers that Robert's children are Cersei's bastards born of incest with her brother, Jaime.{{Ref|aGoT|39}}
[[File:Chris Dien Robert deathbead.jpg|400px|thumb|King Robert on his deathbed - Tomasz Jedruszek ©]]


Acting first, Cersei has Robert's squire, her cousin [[Lancel Lannister]], give Robert a very strong wine, three times as potent as normal, which causes him to become very drunk. When the hunting party finally tracks down a large boar in the [[kingswood]], Robert is so inebriated that he misses his mark and is charged down and mortally gored. According to [[Varys]], if it had not been the boar, it would have been a fall from a horse or an arrow gone astray, as Cersei needed Robert dead before he returned from his hunt.

When Robert returns badly wounded and near death, he has Eddard visit him and make a will, naming him Lord Regent and Protector of the Realm until Joffrey comes of age. Eddard, seeing how much pain Robert is in, does not reveal the secret of Joffrey's parentage, not wanting to add further pain to his dying friend. Instead, when writing the will, Eddard replaces "My son Joffrey" with "my heir";{{ref|AGOT|47}} because the king's children are actually Jaime's bastards, Eddard believes Robert's heir should be his middle brother, [[Stannis Baratheon|Stannis]]. Robert dies a day later. His death tips off a struggle for power that leads to the [[War of the Five Kings]].

==Known bastards==
[[File:Robert_baratheon_by_michelmalagueta-d46afaf.jpg|thumb|Robert Baratheon by michelmalagueta©|250px]]
Although Robert Baratheon is known to have fathered - according to [[Maggy|Maggy the Frog's]] prophecy - a total of sixteen bastards, only one has been acknowledged. [[Varys]] admits to knowing of eight. Five have been seen by POV characters, while two others have been mentioned only in passing. Because of how Eddard words Robert's will, Cersei begins a campaign to kill all of Robert's bastards, but Tyrion stops it after an ugly scene with [[Barra]]'s mother fighting to protect the baby. They are listed in approximate age order.

* '''[[Mya Stone]]'''. A bastard daughter born to Robert in the [[Vale]] whilst he was [[Jon Arryn]]'s ward. She served as a guide to and from the [[Eyrie]], and became a favorite companion to [[Sansa Stark]]. Eddard Stark remembered that Robert was very fond of her, although like all his bastard children he later abandoned her.

* '''[[Bella]]'''. An unacknowledged bastard daughter who lived at the brothel called "the [[Peach]]" in [[Stoney Sept]]. Her mother told her that she was conceived during the [[Battle of the Bells]] when a wounded Robert hid there.

* '''[[Gendry]]'''. An unacknowledged bastard who was born to a worker in an alehouse. When he was old enough, [[Varys|an unknown lord]] paid his apprentice fee so he could learn to be a blacksmith. Gendry developed a reputation for stubbornness and fashioned a bull's head helmet, causing him to be named the "Bull". Following the death of Robert, Varys arranged for the boy to flee the city with [[Yoren]] of the [[Night's Watch]]. Gendry knew that Queen Cersei wanted him dead, although he did not know why. He traveled with Arya Stark until the [[Brotherhood Without Banners]] captured them and he joined the organization. The Brotherhood later placed him at the Old Crossroads Inn to smith and look after a group of orphans there. When [[Brienne]] meets him, she is astonished by how much he looks like Renly, actually addressing him as "Renly" and "my lord".

* '''[[Edric Storm]]'''. Robert's only acknowledged bastard son, born to [[Delena Florent]].{{Ref|aGoT|35}} He lived at [[Storm's End]] under the protection of [[Cortnay Penrose]], the castellan. Stannis laid siege to the castle with the goal of capturing Edric Storm and using him to prove his claims of Cersei's incestuous affair with her brother. The red witch [[Melisandre]] also aimed to use Edric's blood to raise the dragons of Dragonstone. [[Davos Seaworth]] smuggled Edric away from Dragonstone before he could be sacrificed.

* '''Two unnamed twins'''. [[Petyr Baelish]] hints that Robert fathered twins to a serving woman at [[Casterly Rock]] who were killed by Queen Cersei's agents.{{Ref|aGoT|35}}

* '''[[Barra]]'''. The youngest of Robert's known bastard children, born to a King's Landing [[Mhaegen|prostitute]]. A baby, she was killed by [[Allar Deem]] under Cersei's orders following the death of Robert.

[[File:Randyll Tarly TheMico.jpg|Randyll Tarly - © TheMico|250px|thumb|right]]
'''Randyll Tarly''' is the Lord of [[Horn Hill]] and is the head of [[House Tarly]]. He is married to [[Melessa Florent]], and is the father of the [[POV character]] [[Samwell Tarly]]. Randyll wields the Tarly ancestral blade [[Heartsbane]], a [[Valyrian steel]] greatsword, in battle.

==Appearance and Character==
:''See also: [[:Category:Images of Randyll Tarly|Images of Randyll Tarly]]''
Randyll is a lean and balding man with a short, bristly grey beard.{{ref|ACOK|22}} He is a narrow man but iron willed, shrewd and capable. He is considered one of the finest battle commanders in [[Westeros]].

==History==
Randyll Tarly is considered one of the best soldiers in Westeros. During [[Robert's Rebellion]] his army inflicted the only defeat on [[Robert Baratheon]]'s forces, at the [[Battle of Ashford]]. A martinet, he became disappointed in his gentle, timid firstborn son [[Samwell Tarly|Samwell]] and made several harsh attempts to engage him in manly, martial pursuits, but all to no effect. Eventually [[Melessa Florent]] gave birth to a second son [[Dickon Tarly|Dickon]]. As the two brothers grew up, it became apparent that Dickon would be the son that Randyll had wanted. Randyll left Samwell to his own devices until he approached adulthood. At that time, Randyll threatened to end Samwell's life if he did not join the [[Night's Watch]], thereby nullifying his claim to Horn Hill.{{ref|AGOT|26}}

==Recent Events==
===''A Clash of Kings''===
When [[Renly Baratheon]] calls his banners, Randyll joins with [[House Tyrell]] in Renly's support.{{ref|ACOK|22}} At the camp, Dickon tells Randyll of a cruel game that several of the knights are playing on [[Brienne of Tarth]]. Randyll summons Brienne and tells her that some of the men laid wagers on the first to claim her [[maidenhead]]. He then tersely advises her that women have no place on the battlefield.{{ref|AFFC|14}} After the parley with [[Stannis Baratheon]] beneath the walls of [[Storm's End]], Lord Randyll counsels attacking Stannis to make sure he gained no strength while Renly was away.{{ref|ACOK|31}} Before the battle can take place, Renly is assassinated. Afterwards, Randyll continues to follow the Tyrells in forsaking Stannis's cause.{{ref|ACOK|36}} He captures Renly's stores and puts a great many men to death, mainly those sworn to [[House Florent]], his wife's family.{{ref|ACOK|44}}

Randyll is sent out with Lord [[Mathis Rowan]] to find Lord [[Tywin Lannister]] and bring him to [[Tumbler's Falls]] where Lord [[Mace Tyrell]] is waiting with a huge host and a fleet of barges.{{ref|ASOS|14}} Once again following the lead of his liege lord, he joins with the [[House Lannister|Lannisters]] and fights against Stannis, commanding the center at the [[Battle of the Blackwater]].{{ref|ACOK|62}} For this, he receives a commendation for his services - although the abandoned Florent seat at [[Brightwater Keep]] is awarded to [[Garlan Tyrell]].

===''A Storm of Swords''===
Tarly [[Battle of Duskendale|destroys]] a [[The North|northern]] force attacking the town of [[Duskendale]], resulting in the capture of [[Harrion Karstark]] and [[Robett Glover]] and the death of [[Helman Tallhart]].{{ref|ASOS|4}} Afterwards, he takes the town of [[Maidenpool]] and secures the [[kingsroad]].{{ref|ASOS|60}}

===''A Feast for Crows''===
Randyll, along with [[Mathis Rowan]], is named by Ser [[Kevan Lannister]] as a good candidate for [[Hand of the King]], but [[Cersei Lannister]] refuses to name a [[House Tyrell|Tyrell]] bannerman as Hand.

Randyll then takes his forces and begins reconstruction of Maidenpool. Brienne encounters him again while he is dispensing harsh but fair justice in the marketsquare. He extracts her business from her, but allows her to leave.{{ref|AFFC|14}} After Brienne returns with the heads of several [[Brave Companions]], Randyll complains that he has executed many outlaws, but cannot find their leaders.{{ref|AFFC|25}} When word of the imprisonment of [[Margaery Tyrell]] reaches Tarly, he marches his army to King's Landing.

===''A Dance with Dragons''===
Tarly's army is the first to reach [[King's Landing]] before his liege lord, [[Mace Tyrell]]. The [[Faith of the Seven|Faith]] releases [[Margaery Tyrell|Margaery]] and her cousins into his custody after Tarly swears a holy oath to return them for trial. To try and undo the damage [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei]] did to the Tyrell and Lannister alliance, [[Kevan Lannister]] makes Tarly the new justiciar ([[master of laws]]) on King [[Tommen Baratheon]]'s [[small council]].{{Ref|ADWD|54}} Kevan thinks that Tarly is more dangerous than Mace Tyrell.{{Ref|aDwD|Epilogue}}

==Quotes by Randyll==

{{Quote|'''Randyll:''' No disrespect to you, Lady Stark, but it would have been more seemly had Lord [[Robb Stark|Robb]] come to pay homage to [[Renly Baratheon|the king]] himself, rather than hiding behind his mother’s skirts.
'''Catelyn:''' [[King in the North|King]] Robb is warring, my lord, not playing at [[tourney]].{{Ref|aCoK|22}}}} – Randyll and [[Catelyn Tully|Catelyn Stark]]

{{Quote|I say that [[Stannis Baratheon|Stannis]] is a danger to you, leave him unblooded and he will only grow stronger, while your own power is diminished by battle. The [[House Lannister|Lannisters]] will not be beaten in a day. By the time you are done with them, Lord Stannis may be as strong as you ... or stronger.{{Ref|aCoK|31}}}}
– Randyll, to [[Renly Baratheon]]

{{Quote|It takes more than a [[Rainbow Guard|pretty cloak]] to charge a shield wall. [[Battle of Ashford|I was leading]] [[Mace Tyrell]]’s van when you were still sucking on your mother’s teat, [[Guyard Morrigen|Guyard]].{{Ref|aCoK|31}}}}
– Randyll, to [[Guyard Morrigen]]

==Quotes about Randyll==

{{Quote|Randyll Tarly is the finest soldier in the realm. A poor [[Hand of the King|Hand]] for peacetime, but with [[Tywin Lannister|Tywin]] dead there's no better man to finish [[War of the Five Kings|this war]].{{ref|AFFC|7}}}} – [[Kevan Lannister]], to [[Cersei Lannister]]

{{Quote|Tarly is the real danger. A narrow man, but iron-willed and shrewd, and as good a soldier as [[the Reach]] could boast.{{Ref|adwd|epilogue}}}}

DavosSeaworth3101: /* House Hornwood's status */

I was wonder if a new section should be added with the Info Reek II, gives us of several (minor houses) peoples in The Neck, "Fenn and Reed, Peat and Boggs, Cray and Quagg, Greengood and Blackmyre.

== House Stark ==

'House Stark' an Exiled house? If it was an exiled house the Boltons wouldnt try to marry into it, no? Even though the Iron throne put the boltons as the wardens of the North, maybe we should put them with stark as the ruling houses, with a little (contested) label? --[[User:Mordin999|Mor]] 15:30, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

==House Hornwood's status==
As no legitimate members of House Hornwood exists anymore, House Hornwood is extinct (in the male line). Though Larence Snow, a Hornwood bastard, is still alive, he won't count as a member of House Hornwood until he is legitimised. Should that never happen, House Hornwood will remain extinct.
Does everybody agree with that? Or are there reasons as to why House Hornwood cannot be considered extinct?--[[User:Rhaenys_Targaryen|Rhaenys_Targaryen]] 10:51, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

I disagree, though he does not bare the name, he has the male blood whereas the male line is still alive. Don't you think that, in order to win the support of the north, Tommen will legitimize Larence?--[[User:DavosSeaworth3101|DavosSeaworth3101]] 16:27, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

:I can't say what Tommen will do. Personally, I doubt that Larence will be legitimized by the Baratheon/Lannister rule, as legitimizing without giving him a seat (no matter which seat), is useless, and giving a legitimized Larence Hornwood would mean that the Lannisters will need to take Hornwood from House Bolton. Don't forget that Ramsay can count Lord of Hornwood amongst his titles.
:Until Larence is legitimized, House Hornwood no longer exists. And when a house doesn't exist, it is extinc.
:Also wondering, why you placed an example file in the subtitle of the discussion? As it disrupted the layout of the page, I deleted it.--[[User:Rhaenys_Targaryen|Rhaenys_Targaryen]] 17:29, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

Roose will move into Winterfell to rule the North do you think Ramsay, is going to let up ALL of House Hornwoods lands? And what would Ramsay care about one houses' land when one day he'll rule the entire north? Plus giving to the fact House Bolton's lands are bigger than Hornwood's which do you think Ramsay would rather have?--[[User:DavosSeaworth3101|DavosSeaworth3101]] 19:14, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

Ser '''Jaime Lannister''', known as the '''Kingslayer''', is a [[knight]] from [[House Lannister]]. He is the second child and first-born son of Lord [[Tywin Lannister]] of [[Casterly Rock]] and his wife Lady [[Joanna Lannister|Joanna]], also of House Lannister. He is the twin brother of Queen [[Cersei Lannister]].

Raised at the age of fifteen to the [[Kingsguard]] of the Mad King, [[Aerys II Targaryen]], Jaime became the youngest member in the history of the prestigious knightly order.{{Ref|aFfC|16}} He earned the derogatory nickname "[[Kingslayer]]" when he treasonously slew King Aerys near the end of [[Robert's Rebellion]].{{Ref|aGoT|5}}{{Ref|aSoS|37}} In ''[[A Storm of Swords]]'', Jaime becomes a [[POV character]]. In the television adaptation ''[[Game of Thrones]]'' he is played by [[w:Nikolaj Coster-Waldau|Nikolaj Coster-Waldau]].<ref>HBO: Game of Thrones:[http://www.hbo.com/game-of-thrones/index.html#/game-of-thrones/cast-and-crew/index.html Cast and Crew].</ref>

==Appearance and Character==
:''See also: [[:Category:Images of Jaime Lannister|Images of Jaime Lannister]]''

Jaime is a born warrior, and most of his skills lie in the area of martial expertise. He has little interest in politics and court intrigue; by his own admission, Jaime only feels truly alive when fighting or making love. Jaime has the quintessential Lannister look, with bright green eyes and golden hair. He is considered to be extremely handsome, his tall frame complemented with comely features and "a smile that cut like a knife"; [[Jon Snow]] thinks to himself that Jaime is "what a king should look like".{{Ref|aGoT|5}} He dresses in white, like any member of the [[Kingsguard]] when on duty, but he also wears his family colors and distinctive armor of his own at other times: gold-plated, with a lion's-head helm.

Jaime comes across as arrogant, amoral, and dishonorable, behavioural traits similar to his sister twin [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei]]. Because Jaime has done reprehensible acts he has such a bad reputation, everything he says is usually cast in the worst possible light. An offhand joke is taken as a grave threat by others, just because it is spoken by the [[Kingslayer]]. And as for honor, Jaime took his Kingsguard vows, but when they conflict, he chooses a course of action and follows it to its conclusion, no matter the consequence. 

==History==
===Early Years===
Jaime is the eldest son of Lady [[Joanna Lannister|Joanna]] and Lord [[Tywin Lannister]], who is the head of [[House Lannister]], the richest man in the Seven Kingdoms and the lord of the [[Westerlands]]. Jaime and his older twin sister [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei]] were inseparable in their early childhood, even going so far as to experiment together in a sexual manner at a young age. During one of these encounters, they were caught by a servant who informed their mother. Jaime's bedchamber was immediately moved to the other side of the castle, and both twins were told never to do anything like that ever again.{{Ref|aSoS|21}}{{Ref|aFfC|3}}

At an early age Jaime lost his mother, who died giving birth to [[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion]]. Even though Tyrion is a malformed [[dwarf]], Jaime seems to have treated him with kindness and respect unlike Cersei and Tywin.{{Ref|aGoT|9}}

At the age of eleven, Jaime was sent to [[Crakehall]] to squire for old Lord [[Sumner Crakehall]] alongside [[Merrett Frey]]. Two years later, while still a squire, he won his first [[tourney]] melee.{{Ref|aSoS|11}}{{Ref|aFfC|30}}

===Raised to Knighthood===
[[File:Jaime Tourney.jpg|350px|thumb|Jaime winning a tourney melee - by Amok ©]]
At the age of fifteen, Jaime participated in the campaign against the [[Kingswood Brotherhood]], during which he saved Lord Crakehall from [[Ben (Big Belly)|Big Belly Ben]] and crossed swords with the psychotic [[Smiling Knight]]. He was [[knight]]ed on the battlefield by Ser [[Arthur Dayne]].{{Ref|aSoS|11}}

On his return to [[Casterly Rock]], Jaime stopped in [[King's Landing]] to visit his sister, from whom he had been separated for years.{{Ref|aSoS|11}} It was there that Cersei told him that Lord Tywin intended to marry him to [[Lysa Tully]], second daughter of Lord [[Hoster Tully]] of [[Riverrun]]. Cersei suggested that Jaime become a member of the [[Kingsguard]] instead, replacing the recently deceased Ser [[Harlan Grandison]], to be close to her and free himself of the unwanted marriage to Lysa. After a night of passionate sex, he gave his consent to Cersei's plan, although they both expected that their father would be opposed to it. She made the necessary arrangements over the next month and Jaime received news in Casterly Rock that he had been chosen for the Kingsguard.{{Ref|aSoS|11}}

A [[moon]]'s turn later, Jaime was raised to the Kingsguard by Lord Commander Ser [[Gerold Hightower]] in a ceremony during the [[tourney at Harrenhal]], making him the youngest knight ever to be raised to the order.{{Ref|aFfC|16}} That night, however, King [[Aerys II Targaryen]] soured the honor by sending him back to King's Landing to guard Queen [[Rhaella Targaryen|Rhaella]] and Prince [[Viserys Targaryen|Viserys]], depriving him of the chance to participate in [[Lord Whent]]'s tourney. Jaime realized then that the king had only chosen him for the Kingsguard as a slight against Lord Tywin, of whom Aerys was insanely jealous, to rob him of his heir.{{Ref|aSoS|44}} Furthermore, the plan failed to bring Jaime and Cersei closer together, as they had intended. Lord Tywin, furious at the turn of events, used a pretext to resign as [[Hand of the King]] and returned with Cersei to Casterly Rock. Jaime remained at court, guarding the king.{{Ref|aSoS|11}}

===Kingsguard===
[[File:John_Picacio_Jaime_Lannister.jpg|thumb|300px|left|Ser Jaime ‎- © John Picacio]]
During Jaime's time in the Kingsguard, Aerys's growing insanity and attendant cruelty became more and more apparent, and Jaime found himself conflicted and troubled by many of the king's actions. One night, he and Ser [[Jonothor Darry|Jon Darry]] stood guard outside Queen Rhaella's bedchamber while Aerys raped and ravaged her. Jaime commented to Darry that they were sworn to protect the queen as well, to which Darry replied "We are, but not from him."{{Ref|aFfC|16}}

Jaime had a similar reaction to the execution of [[Brandon Stark|Brandon]] and Lord [[Rickard Stark]], and was reminded by Ser [[Gerold Hightower]] that he swore a vow to guard the king, not to judge him.{{Ref|aCoK|55}} Jaime coped with much of Aerys's cruelty by "going away inside". He sometimes offers this advice to others, as a way to deal with a harsh reality and making an appalling task tolerable.{{ref|ASOS|31}}{{Ref|aFfC|8}}

As [[Robert's Rebellion]] grew, Aerys refused to let Jaime join the royal army, instead keeping him in King's Landing to be used as a potential hostage against Lord Tywin, who had yet to choose a side in the conflict. Aerys appointed several Hands throughout the war, but never invited Tywin to take up his old office. Eventually Jaime was the only white cloak in the capital.

After the [[Battle of the Bells]], it became apparent to Aerys that the rebellion might be successful and that King's Landing might be lost. Aerys devised a [[wildfire plot|plan]] with the help of his chief [[Alchemists' Guild|pyromancers]] that involved placing caches of [[wildfire]] all throughout the city. The plan was to burn the entire city to the ground rather than lose it to Robert. His new Hand, Lord [[Qarlton Chelsted]], who had been elevated to the position after the exile of both previous Hands (Lord [[Owen Merryweather]] and [[Jon Connington]]), confronted Aerys about his plan, removing his chain of office in protest and flinging it to the floor. For that, Aerys burned him alive, and raised his favorite pyromancer [[Rossart]] to Hand. All the while, Jaime guarded the King, blankly observing the details of his plan and keeping his secrets.{{Ref|aSoS|37}}

When Prince [[Rhaegar Targaryen]] left the [[Red Keep]] to face the rebels on the [[Trident]], Jaime begged Rhaegar to take him along and let Ser [[Barristan Selmy]] or Ser Jon Darry protect the king for once. Rhaegar refused the suggestion, admitting that King Aerys wanted to keep Jaime close as he was afraid of Tywin Lannister more than anyone else. Rhaegar promised an angry and disappointed Jaime that changes would be made when he returned from the battlefield.{{Ref|aSoS|8}} However, Rhaegar was killed in the [[Battle of the Trident]] and the defeat of his army all but decided the outcome of the war in favour of a rebel victory. Aerys had his pregnant queen, Rhaella, and surviving son, Viserys, sent to [[Dragonstone]].

===The Kingslayer===
[[File:Jaime Aerys Michael Komarck.jpg|400px|thumb|Ser Jaime Lannister slays King [[Aerys II]] - by Michael Komarck ©]]
After the [[Battle of the Trident|Trident]], Lord [[Tywin Lannister]] at last roused himself from [[Casterly Rock]] and called his banners. His main concerns were that his son was in King [[Aerys II Targaryen|Aerys's]] hand and that the king, facing defeat, might kill Jaime just out of spite, as well as that Jaime himself could do something rash. The [[House Lannister|Lannister]] armies marched to the gates of [[King's Landing]], pleading for entry. Though [[Varys]] called Lord Tywin a traitor, King Aerys listened to Grand Maester [[Pycelle]], who told him that Lord Tywin had come to his defense, and heeded his advice to open the gates to Lord Tywin and his army. Once inside, Tywin betrayed Aerys and began the [[Sack of King's Landing]].{{Ref|aSoS|37}}

As the sole Kingsguard knight remaining in King's Landing, the defense of the [[Red Keep]] became Jaime's responsibility. Knowing that he did not stand a chance to defend the castle, he sent a messenger to the king, asking for leave to make terms with the attackers. The messenger came back with the Aerys's order that Jaime should bring him Lord Tywin's head to prove that he is no traitor. The messenger also informed him that [[Rossart]] was with the king, leading Jaime to believe that Aerys was about to command the destruction of the city.{{Ref|aSoS|37}}

On the way to the throne room, Jaime came across Rossart, who was dressed as a common soldier and hurrying to a postern gate. Jaime attacked him, and while Rossart tried to defend himself, he stood no chance against the experienced knight, who gutted Rossart without mercy. Jaime then slipped into the throne room through the king's door, finding Aerys alone pacing through the room. When the king saw the blood on Jaime's sword, he demanded to know whether it was Lord Tywin's, renewing his command that Jaime should bring him his father's head, otherwise Jaime would burn with all the other traitors. He told Jaime that Rossart was on his way to give the enemies a warm welcome, asking again whose blood was on Jaime's sword. Jaime answered that it was Rossart's. The king became scared, his mouth dropping open in shock. Aerys lost control of his bowels, soiling himself. He turned and ran towards the [[Iron Throne]]. Jaime seized Aerys and hauled him bodily off the steps. The Mad King squealed like a pig as Jaime killed him with a single slash across the throat, thereby preventing him from giving the command to burn the city to some other pyromancer.{{Ref|aSoS|11}}{{Ref|aSoS|37}}

Lord Tywin's men, led by Ser [[Elys Westerling]] and Lord [[Roland Crakehall (Lord)|Roland Crakehall]], burst into the throne room in time to see Jaime killing the king, forestalling any chance for Jaime to steal away and let someone else claim responsibility. Jaime told them to advise all who were still fighting that the king was dead and to spare anyone who yielded. Lord Crakehall then asked whether a new king should be proclaimed as well, indicating that it could be Lord Tywin or [[Robert Baratheon]] or that even a new Targaryen king could be installed. Jaime mused for a moment on the possibility of choosing [[Viserys Targaryen]] or Rhaegar's son, [[Aegon Targaryen|Aegon]], as the new king with Lord Tywin as his Hand, but, realising that both boys shared the same blood as Aerys and thus the same propensity for madness, Jaime declared to Crakehall that it was all the same to him. He then seated himself on the Iron Throne, waiting to see who would come to claim it. He was found sitting there when Lord [[Eddard Stark]] rode into the hall with his men to claim the throne for Robert Baratheon.{{Ref|aSoS|11}}{{Ref|aGoT|12|p 116}}

In the following days, Jaime secretly hunted down and killed the two other pyromancers involved in Aerys' plan, [[Belis]] and [[Garigus]].{{Ref|aSoS|37}} Although [[Eddard Stark]] urged Robert to strip him of the white cloak, arguing that Jaime should at the very least be made to join the [[Night's Watch]], Robert listened to [[Jon Arryn]] instead and Jaime was pardoned by King Robert I and, along with Ser [[Barristan Selmy]], continued to serve in the Kingsguard.{{Ref|aSoS|36}} Robert also gave him the name ''[[Kingslayer]]''.

Though reviled by the realm for his betrayal, Jaime considers the slaying of Aerys to be his finest act. His true motivation for killing King Aerys remains unknown to the masses.

===Under King Robert===
[[File:Lannister twins by arkoniel.jpg|300px|thumb|The Lannister twins by [http://arkoniel.deviantart.com/ Mathia Arkoniel©]]]
Though Cersei was wed to Robert and made queen, she and Jaime renewed their illicit relationship and continued it throughout Robert's reign. In the following years, Cersei would give birth to three children: [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]], [[Myrcella Baratheon|Myrcella]], and [[Tommen Baratheon|Tommen]]. Though believed by the realm to be Robert's children, Jaime is the father of all three, and all three resemble their real parents.

One day, Jaime and his brother [[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion]], 13 years of age at the time, while on a nightly ride from [[Lannisport]] to [[Casterly Rock]], saved a 14-year-old girl called [[Tysha]] who was followed by outlaws. While Jaime pursued the men, Tyrion took the girl to an inn. The two ended up sleeping together, the first time for both. Tyrion fell in love and secretly married the orphaned daughter of a crofter. However, Lord [[Tywin Lannister|Tywin]] learned about this and decided to sabotage the marriage of his son to a lowborn girl. He instructed Jaime to lie to Tyrion that he had staged the whole affair, including the outlaws, because he had thought his brother finally needed a woman. Jaime was further ordered to tell Tyrion that Tysha was in fact a whore, for whom Jaime had paid double because she was still a maiden. Lord Tywin advised Jaime that all Tysha wanted was the gold of the [[House Lannister|Lannisters]], which made her no better than a whore, so it would not even be a lie, predicting that Tyrion would thank his brother later in life. Jaime did as bid. Later, Lord Tywin, to teach his younger son a lesson, brought Tysha in and had his guards rape and pay her in Tyrion's presence, forcing Tyrion himself to go last. The experience traumatized Tyrion and determined his cynical opinion about love and his hatred for his father.{{Ref|aGoT|42}}{{Ref|aSoS|77}} Jaime never told Tyrion the truth and later considered his role in ending his brother's marriage the sole instance when he was unkind to Tyrion.{{Ref|aSoS|62}}

After the death of their foster-father [[Jon Arryn]], King [[Robert Baratheon]] travels north to visit Lord [[Eddard Stark]] at [[Winterfell]] and persuade him to become Lord Arryn's successor as [[Hand of the King]]. Jaime himself is chosen by Robert as Jon's successor as [[Warden of the East]] rather than [[Robert Arryn]], who would have been the traditional appointee.{{ref|AGOT|12}} The king is accompanied by much of the court, among them Jaime, Queen [[Cersei Lannister]], and their brother [[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion]].{{Ref|aGoT|4}}

While at Winterfell, Jaime and Cersei attend the feast given by [[House Stark]]. Later, they are caught having sex by [[Bran Stark]]. Bran is shocked and almost falls from the tower. Jaime pulls him up and then throws him out of the window, intending to kill him to keep the affair a secret. Bran survives but falls into a coma.{{Ref|aGoT|8}}

Ned accepts Robert's invitation to be Hand, and in [[King's Landing]] he begins investigating the death of Jon Arryn.{{Ref|aGoT|6}}{{Ref|aGoT|25}} In this investigation he discovers Jaime and Cersei's secret relationship by piecing together the fact that every time in history a Lannister wedded a [[House Baratheon|Baratheon]], they produced raven-haired children.

Meanwhile, [[Catelyn Stark]], Lady of Winterfell, captures Jaime's brother Tyrion on suspicion of involvement in a botched assassination attempt on Bran Stark.{{Ref|aGoT|28}} In retaliation for Tyrion's capture, but ostensibly to create an uprising, Jaime breaks Kingsguard neutrality by leading Lannister men in an attack on Ned and his [[north]]men in the streets of King's Landing, leading to numerous deaths on both sides.{{Ref|aGoT|35}} Jaime then flees from King's Landing and joins his father, Lord [[Tywin Lannister]], afield with his army to threaten Lady Catelyn's home in the [[Riverlands]].{{Ref|aGoT|39}} Lord Lannister appoints Jaime to command half the host of the [[Westerlands]].

Jaime's army marches against the river lords, [[Battle of the Golden Tooth|smashing]] a small force beneath the [[Golden Tooth]], followed by [[Battle of Riverrun|another victory]] against Ser [[Edmure Tully]] that results in the capture of the Tully heir and the siege of [[Riverrun]].{{Ref|aGoT|55}} However, [[Robb Stark]]'s northern army steals a surprise march on Jaime, intent on relieving Riverrun. His men, flying [[House Tully|Tully]] colors, raid Jaime's camps to draw him out. Robb surprises the Lannister army at the [[Battle of the Whispering Wood]]. Seeing the battle is lost, Jaime fights bravely to try and cut down Robb, managing to kill [[Daryn Hornwood]], [[Eddard Karstark]], and [[Torrhen Karstark]] before he is captured.{{Ref|aGoT|63}} Afterwards, the Stark-Tully forces are able to best Jaime's leaderless troops in the [[Battle of the Camps]], and Jaime is imprisoned in Riverrun. While there he is named [[Lord Commander of the Kingsguard]] after Ser [[Barristan Selmy]] is dismissed by his sister.{{Ref|aGoT|57}}

===''A Clash of Kings''===
When Lord Tywin appoints Tyrion as Acting [[Hand of the King]], Tyrion promises to help free Jaime to gain Cersei's support.{{Ref|aCoK|3}} Tyrion's plan to free Jaime with disguised soldiers is unsuccessful. For breaking his word not to try to escape, Edmure transfers him to the dungeons. He is kept chained and malnourished.{{Ref|aCoK|39}} During this period Cersei takes their cousin [[Lancel Lannister]] as her lover.

While the [[War of the Five Kings]] rages around him, Jaime continues to be imprisoned in Riverrun. Negotiations for his release lead to nothing. Tyrion swears in open court to trade [[Sansa Stark|Sansa]] and [[Arya Stark]] for the return of his brother. However, Robb Stark, now [[King in the North]], declines this exchange. Distraught at the news of the alleged deaths of her sons [[Bran Stark|Bran]] and [[Rickon Stark]], Catelyn interrogates Jaime.{{Ref|aCoK|45}}

===''A Storm of Swords''===
In return for Lady [[Lysa Tully|Lysa Arryn]] marrying Lord [[Petyr Baelish]] and returning to the king's peace, Lord [[Tywin Lannister]] decides to return the title of [[Warden of the East]] to Lord [[Robert Arryn]] from Jaime.{{ref|ASOS|12}}

[[Catelyn Tully]], acting on her own, releases Jaime in an attempt to make an unofficial exchange for her daughters. Along with his cousin and fellow captive Ser [[Cleos Frey]], and Lady Catelyn's sworn sword, [[Brienne of Tarth]], Jaime begins the journey towards [[King's Landing]]. Due to his imprisonment at [[Riverrun]] for close to a year, Jaime lost a lot of weight and started to resemble a lion with his ungroomed facial hair. During his journey to [[King's Landing]] with Brienne and Cleos, he decides to shave his head so his golden locks would not be recognized, although he keeps the beard. The trio evade recapture by Ser [[Robin Ryger]] and his party from Riverrun, through Brienne's tactic of dropping boulders onto the chasing boat.{{Ref|aSoS|1}} Jaime approves of Brienne's decision to ignore the travel advice of the "[[Husband|innkeeper]]" at the [[Inn of the Kneeling Man]], suspecting he is in league with bandits.{{Ref|aSoS|11}} Later, on the road between [[Maidenpool]] and [[Duskendale]], Cleos is killed when the group is ambushed by bandits. Afterward, Jaime takes his sword and briefly duels Brienne in an attempt to escape, but both of them are caught unawares and captured by the [[Brave Companions]] led by [[Vargo Hoat]], who have betrayed Lord Tywin and shifted allegiance to Robb Stark.{{Ref|aSoS|21}}

Vargo suspects that his superior, Lord [[Roose Bolton]], is thinking about going over to the Lannisters after their victory over [[Stannis Baratheon]] in the [[Battle of the Blackwater]] and their new alliance to [[House Tyrell]]. To prevent this, Vargo orders [[Zollo]] to chop Jaime's sword hand off, thinking that the blame will fall on Bolton.{{Ref|aSoS|21}} Vargo also hopes to give Jaime to Lord [[Rickard Karstark]], who seeks vengeance for Jaime having killed his sons Eddard and Torrhen.{{ref|ASOS|31}}
[[File:Mustamirri Jaime nohand.JPG|350px|thumb|Jaime after losing his hand - by mustamirri ©]]
When the Brave Companions threaten to rape Brienne, Jaime advises her to "go away inside". For Jaime, the loss of his hand and with it his fighting ability destroys everything that he was. He falls into a deep depression and loses the will to live. Brienne reminds him that he has something to live for, namely, for his family and for revenge.{{ref|ASOS|31}}

While they are held at [[Harrenhal]] they share a bath in the bathhouse. Jaime divulges to Brienne the events surrounding the [[Sack of King's Landing]], including King [[Aerys II Targaryen]]'s [[wildfire plot]]. Brienne later remembers the incident as follows:
{{Quote|The bathhouse had been thick with the steam rising off the water, and Jaime had come walking through that mist naked as his [[name day]], looking half a corpse and half a god.{{Ref|aFfC|9}}}}

Later, at dinner, Roose hints that he will free Jaime as long as Jaime absolves him of the blame for the loss of his hand. Jaime agrees, and Lord Bolton orders [[Walton|Steelshanks Walton]] to escort him to King's Landing. Brienne is to remain behind as Lord Vargo's prize.{{Ref|aSoS|37}}

When Roose leaves Harrenhal to join King Robb at [[the Twins]], Jaime asks him to give Robb his regards. Walton begins the journey to King's Landing with Jaime and a disgraced maester, [[Qyburn]]. The latter's task is to keep Jaime healthy. When sleeping on a [[weirwood]] stump, Jaime has a dream about Brienne. Moved by this he goes back to [[Harrenhal]] and rescues Brienne from Vargo Hoat.{{Ref|aSoS|44}}
[[File:Marc Simonetti Bear Brienne Jaime.jpg|left|350px|thumb|Jaime rescues Brienne - by Marc Simonetti ©]]

During their travels Jaime and Brienne learn that Robb and Catelyn were killed in the [[Red Wedding]], which was plotted by his father Tywin, Roose Bolton, and [[Walder Frey]]. Unbeknownst to Jaime, Roose told Robb that Jaime sent his regards and then stabbed the king. Jaime also learns that his biological son, King [[Joffrey Baratheon]], died at his own [[Purple Wedding|wedding feast]].{{ref|ASOS|62}}

As the party arrives at the [[Red Keep]] in King's Landing they encounter Ser [[Loras Tyrell]], now a brother of the [[Kingsguard]]. Loras accuses Brienne of murdering [[Renly Baratheon]]. Again Jaime comes to her rescue and has Brienne arrested rather than allowing Loras to kill her. He then proceeds to the castle sept to see Cersei. Cersei is mourning Joffrey, whose corpse is being prepared for its funeral. Undaunted by this, Cersei and Jaime have sex in front of Joffrey's corpse.{{Ref|aSoS|62}}

This turns out to be the last time that he and Cersei share intimate relations, as their relationship begins to fall apart. Jaime has been changed by his imprisonment and prolonged exposure to Brienne's stubborn adherence to a code of honour. Tywin gives him a [[Oathkeeper|Valyrian steel blade]], crafted out of [[Eddard Stark]]'s greatsword [[Ice]], but Jaime feels insulted by his father's gift of a sword when he knows how useless he his without his sword hand. He quarrels with his father and refuses to resign from the Kingsguard.{{Ref|aSoS|62}} He calls a meeting of the order in [[Red Keep#White_Sword_Tower|White Sword Tower]] to take the measure of his Sworn Brothers and to remind them of their true duties.{{Ref|aSoS|67}}

Jaime passes the Valyrian sword, now named [[Oathkeeper]], on to Brienne, tasking her to keep [[Sansa Stark]] safe from Cersei and noting the irony of her looking after Sansa with [[Eddard Stark]]'s own steel. Ensuring that she is equally well provisioned by providing her with gold, a horse and armor, he also provides a letter sealed and signed by King [[Tommen Baratheon]], declaring she is about the king's business and not to be hindered. The shield she is given is the one he bore from Harrenhal.{{Ref|aSoS|72}}

Following Joffrey's death, Cersei accuses [[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion]] of his murder. When both trial by words and [[trial by battle]] fail Tyrion, Jaime still does not believe that Tyrion is the murderer. He forces Lord [[Varys]] to arrange Tyrion's escape. During the escape Jaime confesses to his brother an old sin. Years ago Jaime had told him that [[Tysha]], the girl Tyrion had secretly married, was a [[whore]] hired by Jaime. Their father Tywin had the girl raped by his soldiers and by Tyrion himself to teach them a lesson. However, Tysha was the crofter's daughter as she claimed to be and had loved Tyrion genuinely.

Incensed at this revelation, Tyrion hits Jaime, and, knowing that Joffrey was Jaime's son and not [[Robert Baratheon|Robert's]], falsely claims responsibility for his murder. As a final revenge he reveals that the truth about Cersei's sexual escapades with [[Lancel Lannister|Lancel]] and [[Osmund Kettleblack]].{{Ref|aSoS|77}} Tyrion storms off and, unknown to Jaime but with the aid of Varys and a secret passage, enters Tywin's private chambers and kills their father.{{Ref|aSoS|77}}

===''A Feast for Crows''===
Following the murder of his father by his brother Tyrion, Cersei offers Jaime the position of [[Hand of the King]]. He refuses stating,
{{Quote|A Hand without a hand? A bad jape, sister. Don't ask me to rule.{{Ref|aFfC|3}}}}

Jaime remains in [[King's Landing]] and stands vigil over Tywin. During the night Cersei visits him again, begging him to accept the office of Hand but once again he refuses. Cersei leaves angrily, stating she was a fool for ever having loved him. In the morning service, the sight of Lord Tywin's rotting body distresses the young King Tommen, who flees, causing Jaime to pursue and comfort him, suggesting he "go away inside" to cope. Jaime suggests that Tommen and [[Margaery Tyrell]] be married.{{Ref|aFfc|8}} When this occurs, Lord [[Mace Tyrell]] is released from his promise of not leaving King's Landing until Margaery's marriage.{{Ref|aFfC|12}} During his next few days at King's Landing, Jaime finds himself increasingly at odds with his uncle, Ser [[Kevan Lannister]], and his sister, Cersei. He attempts to give his best counsel to both, as well as to a [[Kingsguard]], Ser [[Loras Tyrell]].{{Ref|aFfC|16}}

Following the funeral of Tywin, Cersei commands Jaime to leave King's Landing with the intention of lifting the [[siege of Riverrun]]. Jaime accepts, on the condition that he is allowed to bring the King's Justice, Ser [[Ilyn Payne]]. Riverrun is held by Ser [[Brynden Tully]], and is one of the last strongholds still loyal to the late King [[Robb Stark]]. Before he departs the city Jaime has an armorer forge him a hand he can strap to his stump. The new hand, made of solid gold with mother of pearl fingernails, is sturdy and allows Jaime to clumsily strap a shield to his right hand.
[[File:Pojypojy GennaJaime.JPG|350px|thumb|Jaime with his Aunt [[Genna Lannister|Genna]] by Pojypojy ©]]
Jaime also takes with him [[Lewys Piper]] and [[Garrett Paege]], who were made his squires as both of their families fought for [[House Stark]]. [[Josmyn Peckledon]] becomes another squire for Jaime as a reward for his bravery in the [[Battle of the Blackwater]].

During the journey, Jaime spars with Ilyn during the nights, in order to train himself to fight left-handed. Along the way he stops at [[Harrenhal]], where he installs Ser [[Bonifer Hasty]] as castellan and releases the few prisoners kept there, including Ser [[Wylis Manderly]]. He has an angry confrontation with Red [[Ronnet Connington]] when he insults [[Brienne of Tarth]].{{Ref|aFfC|27}} To rid himself of Ronnet and [[Gregor Clegane]]'s men-at-arms he charges Ronnet to lead them to escort Wylis safely to [[Maidenpool]], where Wylis will be put on a ship to his home of [[White Harbor]].

After departing Harrenhal Jaime stops at [[Darry]] where his cousin, Lancel, confesses to having slept with Cersei. {{Ref|aFfC|30}}

Jaime is met at Riverrun by his cousin, Ser [[Daven Lannister]], the new [[Warden of the West]]. He holds a parley with Ser Brynden Tully, but is unsuccessful in convincing him to release the castle. He then speaks with Brynden's nephew, [[Edmure Tully]], the current Lord of Riverrun, who is held prisoner by the besieging forces commanded by Jaime's uncle and Cleos's father, Ser [[Emmon Frey]]. Emmon has been halfheartedly threatening to hang Lord Edmure every day, but Brynden the Blackfish has remained unfazed.

Jaime, recognizing the need for a change in strategy, tells Edmure that he is to be released and returned to Riverrun. If he yields the castle, the garrison will be spared and all that wish to join the [[Night's Watch]] will be allowed to do so. If he does not surrender, the castle will be sacked and burned, and Jaime will return Edmure's child—by catapult—as soon as his wife [[Roslin Frey]] gives birth.{{Ref|aFfC|38}} Edmure decides to yield the castle and be taken to [[Casterly Rock]] as a prisoner, but not before allowing Brynden to escape by swimming under the Water Gate at night. Jaime is furious at this and sends some of his men to find him, but they are unsuccessful.{{Ref|aFfC|43}}

Soon after taking the castle, Jaime receives a letter from Cersei asking for help. She has been imprisoned by the [[High Sparrow|High Septon]] and is to go on trial. Cersei requests Jaime as her champion in a potential trial by combat. Jaime does not reply to the letter and orders it to be burned.{{Ref|aFfC|43}}

===''A Dance with Dragons''===
Jaime arrives at [[Raventree Hall]], the last holdout of [[Robb Stark]]'s supporters. The castle is under [[Siege of Raventree|siege]] by Lord [[Jonos Bracken]]. Jaime finds the state of the siege to be dismal, and hopes to swiftly end it. His arrival is unexpected, and he strides into Bracken's tent while he is with [[Hildy|a whore]]. Jonos fills Jaime in on the situation at hand, and Jaime finds the scene rooted in the age-old feud between [[House Bracken|Bracken]] and [[House Blackwood|Blackwood]].

Jaimes then treats with Lord [[Tytos Blackwood]], who agrees to bend the knee to King [[Tommen Baratheon|Tommen]] and rescind his support of the [[House Stark|Stark]] and [[House Tully|Tully]] cause. In return, he must give up some of his lands to Jonos Bracken and send his son [[Hoster Blackwood|Hoster]] to the [[Red Keep]] as a hostage. Because of House Bracken's early support of Robb Stark, however, Jaime also requires Jonos to send one of his daughters to King's Landing as a hostage.

After settling matters at Raventree, Jaime and his men head back to [[Riverrun]]. They make camp at [[Pennytree]], where the locals are still wary of travelers and "king's men," and will not allow Jaime's men to enter the holdfast. Jaime decides not to follow the advice of Ser [[Kennos of Kayce]], who recommends that he storm the holdfast. While at Pennytree, Jaime receives an unexpected visit from [[Brienne of Tarth]]. She tells Jaime that she has found [[Sansa Stark|Sansa]], who is a day's ride away. She claims, however, that Jaime must go with her alone or else the [[Sandor Clegane|Hound]] will kill the girl.{{Ref|aDwD|48}}

Ser '''Jaime Lannister''', known as the '''Kingslayer''', is a [[knight]] from [[House Lannister]]. He is the second child and first-born son of Lord [[Tywin Lannister]] of [[Casterly Rock]] and his wife Lady [[Joanna Lannister|Joanna]], also of House Lannister. He is the twin brother of Queen [[Cersei Lannister]].

Raised at the age of fifteen to the [[Kingsguard]] of the Mad King, [[Aerys II Targaryen]], Jaime became the youngest member in the history of the prestigious knightly order.{{Ref|aFfC|16}} He earned the derogatory nickname "[[Kingslayer]]" when he treasonously slew King Aerys near the end of [[Robert's Rebellion]].{{Ref|aGoT|5}}{{Ref|aSoS|37}} In ''[[A Storm of Swords]]'', Jaime becomes a [[POV character]].

==Appearance and Character==
:''See also: [[:Category:Images of Jaime Lannister|Images of Jaime Lannister]]''

Jaime is a born warrior, and most of his skills lie in the area of martial expertise. He has little interest in politics and court intrigue; by his own admission, Jaime only feels truly alive when fighting or making love. Jaime has the quintessential Lannister look, with bright green eyes and golden hair. He is considered to be extremely handsome, his tall frame complemented with comely features and "a smile that cut like a knife"; [[Jon Snow]] thinks to himself that Jaime is "what a king should look like".{{Ref|aGoT|5}} He dresses in white, like any member of the [[Kingsguard]] when on duty, but he also wears his family colors and distinctive armor of his own at other times: gold-plated, with a lion's-head helm.

Jaime comes across as arrogant, amoral, and dishonorable, behavioural traits similar to his sister twin [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei]]. Because Jaime has done reprehensible acts he has such a bad reputation, everything he says is usually cast in the worst possible light. An offhand joke is taken as a grave threat by others, just because it is spoken by the [[Kingslayer]]. And as for honor, Jaime took his Kingsguard vows, but when they conflict, he chooses a course of action and follows it to its conclusion, no matter the consequence. 

==History==
===Early Years===
Jaime is the eldest son of Lady [[Joanna Lannister|Joanna]] and Lord [[Tywin Lannister]], who is the head of [[House Lannister]], the richest man in the Seven Kingdoms and the lord of the [[Westerlands]]. Jaime and his older twin sister [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei]] were inseparable in their early childhood, even going so far as to experiment together in a sexual manner at a young age. During one of these encounters, they were caught by a servant who informed their mother. Jaime's bedchamber was immediately moved to the other side of the castle, and both twins were told never to do anything like that ever again.{{Ref|aSoS|21}}{{Ref|aFfC|3}}

At an early age Jaime lost his mother, who died giving birth to [[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion]]. Even though Tyrion is a malformed [[dwarf]], Jaime seems to have treated him with kindness and respect unlike Cersei and Tywin.{{Ref|aGoT|9}}

At the age of eleven, Jaime was sent to [[Crakehall]] to squire for old Lord [[Sumner Crakehall]] alongside [[Merrett Frey]]. Two years later, while still a squire, he won his first [[tourney]] melee.{{Ref|aSoS|11}}{{Ref|aFfC|30}}

===Raised to Knighthood===
[[File:Jaime Tourney.jpg|350px|thumb|Jaime winning a tourney melee - by Amok ©]]
At the age of fifteen, Jaime participated in the campaign against the [[Kingswood Brotherhood]], during which he saved Lord Crakehall from [[Ben (Big Belly)|Big Belly Ben]] and crossed swords with the psychotic [[Smiling Knight]]. He was [[knight]]ed on the battlefield by Ser [[Arthur Dayne]].{{Ref|aSoS|11}}

On his return to [[Casterly Rock]], Jaime stopped in [[King's Landing]] to visit his sister, from whom he had been separated for years.{{Ref|aSoS|11}} It was there that Cersei told him that Lord Tywin intended to marry him to [[Lysa Tully]], second daughter of Lord [[Hoster Tully]] of [[Riverrun]]. Cersei suggested that Jaime become a member of the [[Kingsguard]] instead, replacing the recently deceased Ser [[Harlan Grandison]], to be close to her and free himself of the unwanted marriage to Lysa. After a night of passionate sex, he gave his consent to Cersei's plan, although they both expected that their father would be opposed to it. She made the necessary arrangements over the next month and Jaime received news in Casterly Rock that he had been chosen for the Kingsguard.{{Ref|aSoS|11}}

A [[moon]]'s turn later, Jaime was raised to the Kingsguard by Lord Commander Ser [[Gerold Hightower]] in a ceremony during the [[tourney at Harrenhal]], making him the youngest knight ever to be raised to the order.{{Ref|aFfC|16}} That night, however, King [[Aerys II Targaryen]] soured the honor by sending him back to King's Landing to guard Queen [[Rhaella Targaryen|Rhaella]] and Prince [[Viserys Targaryen|Viserys]], depriving him of the chance to participate in [[Lord Whent]]'s tourney. Jaime realized then that the king had only chosen him for the Kingsguard as a slight against Lord Tywin, of whom Aerys was insanely jealous, to rob him of his heir.{{Ref|aSoS|44}} Furthermore, the plan failed to bring Jaime and Cersei closer together, as they had intended. Lord Tywin, furious at the turn of events, used a pretext to resign as [[Hand of the King]] and returned with Cersei to Casterly Rock. Jaime remained at court, guarding the king.{{Ref|aSoS|11}}

===Kingsguard===
[[File:John_Picacio_Jaime_Lannister.jpg|thumb|300px|left|Ser Jaime ‎- © John Picacio]]
During Jaime's time in the Kingsguard, Aerys's growing insanity and attendant cruelty became more and more apparent, and Jaime found himself conflicted and troubled by many of the king's actions. One night, he and Ser [[Jonothor Darry|Jon Darry]] stood guard outside Queen Rhaella's bedchamber while Aerys raped and ravaged her. Jaime commented to Darry that they were sworn to protect the queen as well, to which Darry replied "We are, but not from him."{{Ref|aFfC|16}}

Jaime had a similar reaction to the execution of [[Brandon Stark|Brandon]] and Lord [[Rickard Stark]], and was reminded by Ser [[Gerold Hightower]] that he swore a vow to guard the king, not to judge him.{{Ref|aCoK|55}} Jaime coped with much of Aerys's cruelty by "going away inside". He sometimes offers this advice to others, as a way to deal with a harsh reality and making an appalling task tolerable.{{ref|ASOS|31}}{{Ref|aFfC|8}}

As [[Robert's Rebellion]] grew, Aerys refused to let Jaime join the royal army, instead keeping him in King's Landing to be used as a potential hostage against Lord Tywin, who had yet to choose a side in the conflict. Aerys appointed several Hands throughout the war, but never invited Tywin to take up his old office. Eventually Jaime was the only white cloak in the capital.

After the [[Battle of the Bells]], it became apparent to Aerys that the rebellion might be successful and that King's Landing might be lost. Aerys devised a [[wildfire plot|plan]] with the help of his chief [[Alchemists' Guild|pyromancers]] that involved placing caches of [[wildfire]] all throughout the city. The plan was to burn the entire city to the ground rather than lose it to Robert. His new Hand, Lord [[Qarlton Chelsted]], who had been elevated to the position after the exile of both previous Hands (Lord [[Owen Merryweather]] and [[Jon Connington]]), confronted Aerys about his plan, removing his chain of office in protest and flinging it to the floor. For that, Aerys burned him alive, and raised his favorite pyromancer [[Rossart]] to Hand. All the while, Jaime guarded the King, blankly observing the details of his plan and keeping his secrets.{{Ref|aSoS|37}}

When Prince [[Rhaegar Targaryen]] left the [[Red Keep]] to face the rebels on the [[Trident]], Jaime begged Rhaegar to take him along and let Ser [[Barristan Selmy]] or Ser Jon Darry protect the king for once. Rhaegar refused the suggestion, admitting that King Aerys wanted to keep Jaime close as he was afraid of Tywin Lannister more than anyone else. Rhaegar promised an angry and disappointed Jaime that changes would be made when he returned from the battlefield.{{Ref|aSoS|8}} However, Rhaegar was killed in the [[Battle of the Trident]] and the defeat of his army all but decided the outcome of the war in favour of a rebel victory. Aerys had his pregnant queen, Rhaella, and surviving son, Viserys, sent to [[Dragonstone]].

===The Kingslayer===
[[File:Jaime Aerys Michael Komarck.jpg|400px|thumb|Ser Jaime Lannister slays King [[Aerys II]] - by Michael Komarck ©]]
After the [[Battle of the Trident|Trident]], Lord [[Tywin Lannister]] at last roused himself from [[Casterly Rock]] and called his banners. His main concerns were that his son was in King [[Aerys II Targaryen|Aerys's]] hand and that the king, facing defeat, might kill Jaime just out of spite, as well as that Jaime himself could do something rash. The [[House Lannister|Lannister]] armies marched to the gates of [[King's Landing]], pleading for entry. Though [[Varys]] called Lord Tywin a traitor, King Aerys listened to Grand Maester [[Pycelle]], who told him that Lord Tywin had come to his defense, and heeded his advice to open the gates to Lord Tywin and his army. Once inside, Tywin betrayed Aerys and began the [[Sack of King's Landing]].{{Ref|aSoS|37}}

As the sole Kingsguard knight remaining in King's Landing, the defense of the [[Red Keep]] became Jaime's responsibility. Knowing that he did not stand a chance to defend the castle, he sent a messenger to the king, asking for leave to make terms with the attackers. The messenger came back with the Aerys's order that Jaime should bring him Lord Tywin's head to prove that he is no traitor. The messenger also informed him that [[Rossart]] was with the king, leading Jaime to believe that Aerys was about to command the destruction of the city.{{Ref|aSoS|37}}

On the way to the throne room, Jaime came across Rossart, who was dressed as a common soldier and hurrying to a postern gate. Jaime attacked him, and while Rossart tried to defend himself, he stood no chance against the experienced knight, who gutted Rossart without mercy. Jaime then slipped into the throne room through the king's door, finding Aerys alone pacing through the room. When the king saw the blood on Jaime's sword, he demanded to know whether it was Lord Tywin's, renewing his command that Jaime should bring him his father's head, otherwise Jaime would burn with all the other traitors. He told Jaime that Rossart was on his way to give the enemies a warm welcome, asking again whose blood was on Jaime's sword. Jaime answered that it was Rossart's. The king became scared, his mouth dropping open in shock. Aerys lost control of his bowels, soiling himself. He turned and ran towards the [[Iron Throne]]. Jaime seized Aerys and hauled him bodily off the steps. The Mad King squealed like a pig as Jaime killed him with a single slash across the throat, thereby preventing him from giving the command to burn the city to some other pyromancer.{{Ref|aSoS|11}}{{Ref|aSoS|37}}

Lord Tywin's men, led by Ser [[Elys Westerling]] and Lord [[Roland Crakehall (Lord)|Roland Crakehall]], burst into the throne room in time to see Jaime killing the king, forestalling any chance for Jaime to steal away and let someone else claim responsibility. Jaime told them to advise all who were still fighting that the king was dead and to spare anyone who yielded. Lord Crakehall then asked whether a new king should be proclaimed as well, indicating that it could be Lord Tywin or [[Robert Baratheon]] or that even a new Targaryen king could be installed. Jaime mused for a moment on the possibility of choosing [[Viserys Targaryen]] or Rhaegar's son, [[Aegon Targaryen|Aegon]], as the new king with Lord Tywin as his Hand, but, realising that both boys shared the same blood as Aerys and thus the same propensity for madness, Jaime declared to Crakehall that it was all the same to him. He then seated himself on the Iron Throne, waiting to see who would come to claim it. He was found sitting there when Lord [[Eddard Stark]] rode into the hall with his men to claim the throne for Robert Baratheon.{{Ref|aSoS|11}}{{Ref|aGoT|12|p 116}}

In the following days, Jaime secretly hunted down and killed the two other pyromancers involved in Aerys' plan, [[Belis]] and [[Garigus]].{{Ref|aSoS|37}} Although [[Eddard Stark]] urged Robert to strip him of the white cloak, arguing that Jaime should at the very least be made to join the [[Night's Watch]], Robert listened to [[Jon Arryn]] instead and Jaime was pardoned by King Robert I and, along with Ser [[Barristan Selmy]], continued to serve in the Kingsguard.{{Ref|aSoS|36}} Robert also gave him the name ''[[Kingslayer]]''.

Though reviled by the realm for his betrayal, Jaime considers the slaying of Aerys to be his finest act. His true motivation for killing King Aerys remains unknown to the masses.

===Under King Robert===
[[File:Lannister twins by arkoniel.jpg|300px|thumb|The Lannister twins by [http://arkoniel.deviantart.com/ Mathia Arkoniel©]]]
Though Cersei was wed to Robert and made queen, she and Jaime renewed their illicit relationship and continued it throughout Robert's reign. In the following years, Cersei would give birth to three children: [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]], [[Myrcella Baratheon|Myrcella]], and [[Tommen Baratheon|Tommen]]. Though believed by the realm to be Robert's children, Jaime is the father of all three, and all three resemble their real parents.

One day, Jaime and his brother [[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion]], 13 years of age at the time, while on a nightly ride from [[Lannisport]] to [[Casterly Rock]], saved a 14-year-old girl called [[Tysha]] who was followed by outlaws. While Jaime pursued the men, Tyrion took the girl to an inn. The two ended up sleeping together, the first time for both. Tyrion fell in love and secretly married the orphaned daughter of a crofter. However, Lord [[Tywin Lannister|Tywin]] learned about this and decided to sabotage the marriage of his son to a lowborn girl. He instructed Jaime to lie to Tyrion that he had staged the whole affair, including the outlaws, because he had thought his brother finally needed a woman. Jaime was further ordered to tell Tyrion that Tysha was in fact a whore, for whom Jaime had paid double because she was still a maiden. Lord Tywin advised Jaime that all Tysha wanted was the gold of the [[House Lannister|Lannisters]], which made her no better than a whore, so it would not even be a lie, predicting that Tyrion would thank his brother later in life. Jaime did as bid. Later, Lord Tywin, to teach his younger son a lesson, brought Tysha in and had his guards rape and pay her in Tyrion's presence, forcing Tyrion himself to go last. The experience traumatized Tyrion and determined his cynical opinion about love and his hatred for his father.{{Ref|aGoT|42}}{{Ref|aSoS|77}} Jaime never told Tyrion the truth and later considered his role in ending his brother's marriage the sole instance when he was unkind to Tyrion.{{Ref|aSoS|62}}

Jaime himself is chosen by Robert as Jon's successor as [[Warden of the East]] rather than [[Robert Arryn]], who would have been the traditional appointee.{{ref|AGOT|12}} The king is accompanied by much of the court, among them Jaime, Queen [[Cersei Lannister]], and their brother [[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion]].{{Ref|aGoT|4}}

While at Winterfell, Jaime and Cersei attend the feast given by [[House Stark]]. Later, they are caught having sex by [[Bran Stark]]. Bran is shocked and almost falls from the tower. Jaime pulls him up and then throws him out of the window, intending to kill him to keep the affair a secret. Bran survives but falls into a coma.{{Ref|aGoT|8}}

Meanwhile, [[Catelyn Stark]], Lady of Winterfell, captures Jaime's brother Tyrion on suspicion of involvement in a botched assassination attempt on Bran Stark.{{Ref|aGoT|28}} In retaliation for Tyrion's capture, but ostensibly to create an uprising, Jaime breaks Kingsguard neutrality by leading Lannister men in an attack on Ned and his [[north]]men in the streets of King's Landing, leading to numerous deaths on both sides.{{Ref|aGoT|35}} Jaime then flees from King's Landing and joins his father, Lord [[Tywin Lannister]], afield with his army to threaten Lady Catelyn's home in the [[Riverlands]].{{Ref|aGoT|39}} Lord Lannister appoints Jaime to command half the host of the [[Westerlands]].

Jaime's army marches against the river lords, [[Battle of the Golden Tooth|smashing]] a small force beneath the [[Golden Tooth]], followed by [[Battle of Riverrun|another victory]] against Ser [[Edmure Tully]] that results in the capture of the Tully heir and the siege of [[Riverrun]].{{Ref|aGoT|55}} However, [[Robb Stark]]'s northern army steals a surprise march on Jaime, intent on relieving Riverrun. His men, flying [[House Tully|Tully]] colors, raid Jaime's camps to draw him out. Robb surprises the Lannister army at the [[Battle of the Whispering Wood]]. Seeing the battle is lost, Jaime fights bravely to try and cut down Robb, managing to kill [[Daryn Hornwood]], [[Eddard Karstark]], and [[Torrhen Karstark]] before he is captured.{{Ref|aGoT|63}} Afterwards, the Stark-Tully forces are able to best Jaime's leaderless troops in the [[Battle of the Camps]], and Jaime is imprisoned in Riverrun. While there he is named [[Lord Commander of the Kingsguard]] after Ser [[Barristan Selmy]] is dismissed by his sister.{{Ref|aGoT|57}}

===''A Clash of Kings''===
When Lord Tywin appoints Tyrion as Acting [[Hand of the King]], Tyrion promises to help free Jaime to gain Cersei's support.{{Ref|aCoK|3}} Tyrion's plan to free Jaime with disguised soldiers is unsuccessful. For breaking his word not to try to escape, Edmure transfers him to the dungeons. He is kept chained and malnourished.{{Ref|aCoK|39}} During this period Cersei takes their cousin [[Lancel Lannister]] as her lover.

While the [[War of the Five Kings]] rages around him, Jaime continues to be imprisoned in Riverrun. Negotiations for his release lead to nothing. Tyrion swears in open court to trade [[Sansa Stark|Sansa]] and [[Arya Stark]] for the return of his brother. However, Robb Stark, now [[King in the North]], declines this exchange. Distraught at the news of the alleged deaths of her sons [[Bran Stark|Bran]] and [[Rickon Stark]], Catelyn interrogates Jaime.{{Ref|aCoK|45}}

===''A Storm of Swords''===
In return for Lady [[Lysa Tully|Lysa Arryn]] marrying Lord [[Petyr Baelish]] and returning to the king's peace, Lord [[Tywin Lannister]] decides to return the title of [[Warden of the East]] to Lord [[Robert Arryn]] from Jaime.{{ref|ASOS|12}}

[[Catelyn Tully]], acting on her own, releases Jaime in an attempt to make an unofficial exchange for her daughters. Along with his cousin and fellow captive Ser [[Cleos Frey]], and Lady Catelyn's sworn sword, [[Brienne of Tarth]], Jaime begins the journey towards [[King's Landing]]. Due to his imprisonment at [[Riverrun]] for close to a year, Jaime lost a lot of weight and started to resemble a lion with his ungroomed facial hair. During his journey to [[King's Landing]] with Brienne and Cleos, he decides to shave his head so his golden locks would not be recognized, although he keeps the beard. The trio evade recapture by Ser [[Robin Ryger]] and his party from Riverrun, through Brienne's tactic of dropping boulders onto the chasing boat.{{Ref|aSoS|1}} Jaime approves of Brienne's decision to ignore the travel advice of the "[[Husband|innkeeper]]" at the [[Inn of the Kneeling Man]], suspecting he is in league with bandits.{{Ref|aSoS|11}} Later, on the road between [[Maidenpool]] and [[Duskendale]], Cleos is killed when the group is ambushed by bandits. Afterward, Jaime takes his sword and briefly duels Brienne in an attempt to escape, but both of them are caught unawares and captured by the [[Brave Companions]] led by [[Vargo Hoat]], who have betrayed Lord Tywin and shifted allegiance to Robb Stark.{{Ref|aSoS|21}}

Vargo suspects that his superior, Lord [[Roose Bolton]], is thinking about going over to the Lannisters after their victory over [[Stannis Baratheon]] in the [[Battle of the Blackwater]] and their new alliance to [[House Tyrell]]. To prevent this, Vargo orders [[Zollo]] to chop Jaime's sword hand off, thinking that the blame will fall on Bolton.{{Ref|aSoS|21}} Vargo also hopes to give Jaime to Lord [[Rickard Karstark]], who seeks vengeance for Jaime having killed his sons Eddard and Torrhen.{{ref|ASOS|31}}
[[File:Mustamirri Jaime nohand.JPG|350px|thumb|Jaime after losing his hand - by mustamirri ©]]
When the Brave Companions threaten to rape Brienne, Jaime advises her to "go away inside". For Jaime, the loss of his hand and with it his fighting ability destroys everything that he was. He falls into a deep depression and loses the will to live. Brienne reminds him that he has something to live for, namely, for his family and for revenge.{{ref|ASOS|31}}

While they are held at [[Harrenhal]] they share a bath in the bathhouse. Jaime divulges to Brienne the events surrounding the [[Sack of King's Landing]], including King [[Aerys II Targaryen]]'s [[wildfire plot]]. Brienne later remembers the incident as follows:
{{Quote|The bathhouse had been thick with the steam rising off the water, and Jaime had come walking through that mist naked as his [[name day]], looking half a corpse and half a god.{{Ref|aFfC|9}}}}

Later, at dinner, Roose hints that he will free Jaime as long as Jaime absolves him of the blame for the loss of his hand. Jaime agrees, and Lord Bolton orders [[Walton|Steelshanks Walton]] to escort him to King's Landing. Brienne is to remain behind as Lord Vargo's prize.{{Ref|aSoS|37}}

When Roose leaves Harrenhal to join King Robb at [[the Twins]], Jaime asks him to give Robb his regards. Walton begins the journey to King's Landing with Jaime and a disgraced maester, [[Qyburn]]. The latter's task is to keep Jaime healthy. When sleeping on a [[weirwood]] stump, Jaime has a dream about Brienne. Moved by this he goes back to [[Harrenhal]] and rescues Brienne from Vargo Hoat.{{Ref|aSoS|44}}
[[File:Marc Simonetti Bear Brienne Jaime.jpg|left|350px|thumb|Jaime rescues Brienne - by Marc Simonetti ©]]

During their travels Jaime and Brienne learn that Robb and Catelyn were killed in the [[Red Wedding]], which was plotted by his father Tywin, Roose Bolton, and [[Walder Frey]]. Unbeknownst to Jaime, Roose told Robb that Jaime sent his regards and then stabbed the king. Jaime also learns that his biological son, King [[Joffrey Baratheon]], died at his own [[Purple Wedding|wedding feast]].{{ref|ASOS|62}}

As the party arrives at the [[Red Keep]] in King's Landing they encounter Ser [[Loras Tyrell]], now a brother of the [[Kingsguard]]. Loras accuses Brienne of murdering [[Renly Baratheon]]. Again Jaime comes to her rescue and has Brienne arrested rather than allowing Loras to kill her. He then proceeds to the castle sept to see Cersei. Cersei is mourning Joffrey, whose corpse is being prepared for its funeral. Undaunted by this, Cersei and Jaime have sex in front of Joffrey's corpse.{{Ref|aSoS|62}}

This turns out to be the last time that he and Cersei share intimate relations, as their relationship begins to fall apart. Jaime has been changed by his imprisonment and prolonged exposure to Brienne's stubborn adherence to a code of honour. Tywin gives him a [[Oathkeeper|Valyrian steel blade]], crafted out of [[Eddard Stark]]'s greatsword [[Ice]], but Jaime feels insulted by his father's gift of a sword when he knows how useless he his without his sword hand. He quarrels with his father and refuses to resign from the Kingsguard.{{Ref|aSoS|62}} He calls a meeting of the order in [[Red Keep#White_Sword_Tower|White Sword Tower]] to take the measure of his Sworn Brothers and to remind them of their true duties.{{Ref|aSoS|67}}

Jaime passes the Valyrian sword, now named [[Oathkeeper]], on to Brienne, tasking her to keep [[Sansa Stark]] safe from Cersei and noting the irony of her looking after Sansa with [[Eddard Stark]]'s own steel. Ensuring that she is equally well provisioned by providing her with gold, a horse and armor, he also provides a letter sealed and signed by King [[Tommen Baratheon]], declaring she is about the king's business and not to be hindered. The shield she is given is the one he bore from Harrenhal.{{Ref|aSoS|72}}

Following Joffrey's death, Cersei accuses [[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion]] of his murder. When both trial by words and [[trial by battle]] fail Tyrion, Jaime still does not believe that Tyrion is the murderer. He forces Lord [[Varys]] to arrange Tyrion's escape. During the escape Jaime confesses to his brother an old sin. Years ago Jaime had told him that [[Tysha]], the girl Tyrion had secretly married, was a [[whore]] hired by Jaime. Their father Tywin had the girl raped by his soldiers and by Tyrion himself to teach them a lesson. However, Tysha was the crofter's daughter as she claimed to be and had loved Tyrion genuinely.

Incensed at this revelation, Tyrion hits Jaime, and, knowing that Joffrey was Jaime's son and not [[Robert Baratheon|Robert's]], falsely claims responsibility for his murder. As a final revenge he reveals that the truth about Cersei's sexual escapades with [[Lancel Lannister|Lancel]] and [[Osmund Kettleblack]].{{Ref|aSoS|77}} Tyrion storms off and, unknown to Jaime but with the aid of Varys and a secret passage, enters Tywin's private chambers and kills their father.{{Ref|aSoS|77}}

===''A Feast for Crows''===
Following the murder of his father by his brother Tyrion, Cersei offers Jaime the position of [[Hand of the King]]. He refuses stating,
{{Quote|A Hand without a hand? A bad jape, sister. Don't ask me to rule.{{Ref|aFfC|3}}}}

Jaime remains in [[King's Landing]] and stands vigil over Tywin. During the night Cersei visits him again, begging him to accept the office of Hand but once again he refuses. Cersei leaves angrily, stating she was a fool for ever having loved him. In the morning service, the sight of Lord Tywin's rotting body distresses the young King Tommen, who flees, causing Jaime to pursue and comfort him, suggesting he "go away inside" to cope. Jaime suggests that Tommen and [[Margaery Tyrell]] be married.{{Ref|aFfc|8}} When this occurs, Lord [[Mace Tyrell]] is released from his promise of not leaving King's Landing until Margaery's marriage.{{Ref|aFfC|12}} During his next few days at King's Landing, Jaime finds himself increasingly at odds with his uncle, Ser [[Kevan Lannister]], and his sister, Cersei. He attempts to give his best counsel to both, as well as to a [[Kingsguard]], Ser [[Loras Tyrell]].{{Ref|aFfC|16}}

Following the funeral of Tywin, Cersei commands Jaime to leave King's Landing with the intention of lifting the [[siege of Riverrun]]. Jaime accepts, on the condition that he is allowed to bring the King's Justice, Ser [[Ilyn Payne]]. Riverrun is held by Ser [[Brynden Tully]], and is one of the last strongholds still loyal to the late King [[Robb Stark]]. Before he departs the city Jaime has an armorer forge him a hand he can strap to his stump. The new hand, made of solid gold with mother of pearl fingernails, is sturdy and allows Jaime to clumsily strap a shield to his right hand.
[[File:Pojypojy GennaJaime.JPG|350px|thumb|Jaime with his Aunt [[Genna Lannister|Genna]] by Pojypojy ©]]
Jaime also takes with him [[Lewys Piper]] and [[Garrett Paege]], who were made his squires as both of their families fought for [[House Stark]]. [[Josmyn Peckledon]] becomes another squire for Jaime as a reward for his bravery in the [[Battle of the Blackwater]].

During the journey, Jaime spars with Ilyn during the nights, in order to train himself to fight left-handed. Along the way he stops at [[Harrenhal]], where he installs Ser [[Bonifer Hasty]] as castellan and releases the few prisoners kept there, including Ser [[Wylis Manderly]]. He has an angry confrontation with Red [[Ronnet Connington]] when he insults [[Brienne of Tarth]].{{Ref|aFfC|27}} To rid himself of Ronnet and [[Gregor Clegane]]'s men-at-arms he charges Ronnet to lead them to escort Wylis safely to [[Maidenpool]], where Wylis will be put on a ship to his home of [[White Harbor]].

After departing Harrenhal Jaime stops at [[Darry]] where his cousin, Lancel, confesses to having slept with Cersei. {{Ref|aFfC|30}}

Jaime is met at Riverrun by his cousin, Ser [[Daven Lannister]], the new [[Warden of the West]]. He holds a parley with Ser Brynden Tully, but is unsuccessful in convincing him to release the castle. He then speaks with Brynden's nephew, [[Edmure Tully]], the current Lord of Riverrun, who is held prisoner by the besieging forces commanded by Jaime's uncle and Cleos's father, Ser [[Emmon Frey]]. Emmon has been halfheartedly threatening to hang Lord Edmure every day, but Brynden the Blackfish has remained unfazed.

Jaime, recognizing the need for a change in strategy, tells Edmure that he is to be released and returned to Riverrun. If he yields the castle, the garrison will be spared and all that wish to join the [[Night's Watch]] will be allowed to do so. If he does not surrender, the castle will be sacked and burned, and Jaime will return Edmure's child—by catapult—as soon as his wife [[Roslin Frey]] gives birth.{{Ref|aFfC|38}} Edmure decides to yield the castle and be taken to [[Casterly Rock]] as a prisoner, but not before allowing Brynden to escape by swimming under the Water Gate at night. Jaime is furious at this and sends some of his men to find him, but they are unsuccessful.{{Ref|aFfC|43}}
[[File:Jaime_beard.jpg|Jaime - by [http://pojypojy.deviantart.com/ Pojypojy ©]|thumb|200px|right]]
Soon after taking the castle, Jaime receives a letter from Cersei asking for help. She has been imprisoned by the [[High Sparrow|High Septon]] and is to go on trial. Cersei requests Jaime as her champion in a potential trial by combat. Jaime does not reply to the letter and orders it to be burned.{{Ref|aFfC|43}}

===''A Dance with Dragons''===
Jaime arrives at [[Raventree Hall]], the last holdout of [[Robb Stark]]'s supporters. The castle is under [[Siege of Raventree|siege]] by Lord [[Jonos Bracken]]. Jaime finds the state of the siege to be dismal, and hopes to swiftly end it. His arrival is unexpected, and he strides into Bracken's tent while he is with [[Hildy|a whore]]. Jonos fills Jaime in on the situation at hand, and Jaime finds the scene rooted in the age-old feud between [[House Bracken|Bracken]] and [[House Blackwood|Blackwood]].

Jaimes then treats with Lord [[Tytos Blackwood]], who agrees to bend the knee to King [[Tommen Baratheon|Tommen]] and rescind his support of the [[House Stark|Stark]] and [[House Tully|Tully]] cause. In return, he must give up some of his lands to Jonos Bracken and send his son [[Hoster Blackwood|Hoster]] to the [[Red Keep]] as a hostage. Because of House Bracken's early support of Robb Stark, however, Jaime also requires Jonos to send one of his daughters to King's Landing as a hostage.

After settling matters at Raventree, Jaime and his men head back to [[Riverrun]]. They make camp at [[Pennytree]], where the locals are still wary of travelers and "king's men," and will not allow Jaime's men to enter the holdfast. Jaime decides not to follow the advice of Ser [[Kennos of Kayce]], who recommends that he storm the holdfast. While at Pennytree, Jaime receives an unexpected visit from [[Brienne of Tarth]]. She tells Jaime that she has found [[Sansa Stark|Sansa]], who is a day's ride away. She claims, however, that Jaime must go with her alone or else the [[Sandor Clegane|Hound]] will kill the girl.{{Ref|aDwD|48}}

DavosSeaworth3101: /* Death */

== Valarr's children? ==

I can't pin down where it's said that Valarr had sons. Anyone have a source to this? I'm thinking that possibly the family trees are featuring an error: an attempt to fit together the idea that Aemon was 9th or 10th in line, which someone tried to fix by assuming Valarr had two sons... only for us to learn that Rhaegel had twin children in TMK. But I could be wrong. A source for Valarr being a father would be great. --[[User:Ran|Ran]] 21:04, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

The source for his children is ''The Mystery Knight'' it States that his wife bore him 2 stillborn sons. He did not have any children who lived.see [[:Template:Targaryen tree Daeron II]] --[[User:ASHaber|Ser Ash the Red]] 23:32, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

== Valarr's Handship ==
In TSS, Septon Sefton says that Valarr was the Hand of the King when he died. Does anyone know why he wasn't listed among the Hands before I edited it? [[User:FranciscoAraujodaCosta|Francisco Araujo da Costa]] 21:29, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
: I think that was because some people found the description a little vague.. They saw it as a possibility that Valarr and the Hand had been two different people, since there was a "," in between. For what it's worth, I read it as Valarr having been the Hand as well.. --[[User:Rhaenys_Targaryen|Rhaenys_Targaryen]] 22:13, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
: I´ve edited him into the list of Hands of the Kings as well, since he was missing there as well. --[[User:Rhaenys_Targaryen|Rhaenys_Targaryen]] 22:18, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
:: I checked the discussion of the list of Hands, where I had noted that Valarr couldn't have been his uncle's hand, since he predeceased Aerys's reign. Rereading TSS today, I found the passage you mentioned. I should've double-checked that passage back then, but I think now it's all cleared up. Thanks, Rhaenys. [[User:FranciscoAraujodaCosta|Francisco Araujo da Costa]] 05:42, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

==Synopsis==
[[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion]] has been sent to greet the 300 [[Dorne|Dornishmen]] with a small retinue. However, he is shocked when he finds that the Dornishmen are being led by Prince [[Oberyn Martell]] and not his brother, Prince [[Doran Martell|Doran]]. The Red Viper of Dorne has an infamous reputation for using poisoned weapons in battle. The man fought in the [[Free Cities]] and even formed his own [[sellsword]] company, he studied at the [[Citadel]] for a time, and most importantly, he crippled [[Willas Tyrell]] in a tourney. Though this was years ago, it has never been forgotten by the [[House Tyrell|Tyrells]], who will not be happy that this man is attending the marriage of one of them.

Oberyn and Elia were disappointed to find out that Tyrion was only a dwarf, after the stories they had heard about him being Tywin’s monster son.

But Tyrion has a more subtle warning: The [[House Lannister|Lannisters]] have tens of thousands of Tyrell men present as allies. And the Tyrells hate the Dornish, and especially Prince Oberyn for what he did to Willas.

==Synopsis==
[[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion]] has been sent to greet the 300 [[Dorne|Dornishmen]] with a small retinue. However, he is shocked when he finds that the Dornishmen are being led by Prince [[Oberyn Martell]] and not his brother, Prince [[Doran Martell|Doran]]. The Red Viper of Dorne has an infamous reputation for using poisoned weapons in battle. The man fought in the [[Free Cities]] and even formed his own [[sellsword]] company, he studied at the [[Citadel]] for a time, and most importantly, he crippled [[Willas Tyrell]] in a tourney. Though this was years ago, it has never been forgotten by the [[House Tyrell|Tyrells]], who will not be happy that this man is attending the marriage of one of them.

The Red Viper tells Tyrion the story of how he and [[Elia Martell|Elia]] traveled to [[Casterly Rock]] when Tyrion was an infant. It was just after the death of [[Joanna Lannister]]. [[Tywin Lannister]] was in mourning and ignored the Martells. Oberyn and Elia were disappointed to find out that Tyrion was only a dwarf, after the stories they had heard about him being Tywin’s monster son.

==Synopsis==
[[File:Arya tickler by tribemun.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Arya Stabbing the Tickler by Tribemun©]]

[[Sandor Clegane|Sandor]] and [[Arya Stark|Arya]] come to the [[Inn at the Crossroads]]. To her dismay, she recognizes [[Polliver]] and the [[Tickler]] and a squire. The squire tries to bait Sandor with insults about fleeing King's Landing and the room is very tense. The Hound demands wine, which the innkeeper brings and Sandor gulps down. Sandor warns the innkeeper that Polliver and the Tickler will kill him instead of paying for their drinks, and the innkeeper and the other people in the room leave. 

The [[Tickler]] tells Sandor what has happened in the realm, including [[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion's]] marriage, [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey's]] death and Tyrion's imprisonment. He claims that [[Sansa Stark|Sansa's]] sister has been found and is to marry [[Ramsay Bolton]], [[Harrenhal]] has been taken by [[Gregor Clegane]], [[Riverrun]] is under siege by the [[House Lannister|Lannisters]] and [[Randyll Tarly]] has taken [[Saltpans]]. He says only the Blackwoods are still holding out, and the Brackens are fighting them around [[Raventree Hall]].

The Tickler says Gregor would prefer that Sandor come back with them to Harrenhal, but when Sandor refuses, the Tickler throws a knife at him. Sandor, the Tickler and Polliver all draw swords and begin to fight. The squire tries to join in but Arya throws a cup at him and knocks him down. Sandor is not fighting his best and Arya realizes he drank his wine too fast and is drunk. During the fight Arya stabs the squire in the belly and then sneaks up behind the Tickler and stabs him over and over again in a rage until Sandor stops her. The squire is still alive but was mortally wounded and asks for mercy. Sandor tells Arya to give him mercy, and asks if she remembers where the heart is. She does. She recovers [[Needle]], which was carried by Polliver, and kills the squire.

Sandor, seriously wounded, says Gregor must hold the ford and that they will make for Saltpans and find a ship to the [[Vale]]. They leave the inn to travel on but the Hound is so wounded that he needs tending and they stop. The next day he is so weak that he falls out of his saddle. While he lies in a fevered sleep, Arya thinks about killing him. He wakes to see what she is contemplating and urges her to do it - to give him mercy - but Arya leaves him and rides on to Saltpans.

She tries to find a boat that goes to the North but only finds a trading ship [[Titan's Daughter]] with [[Braavos]] as its destination. She doesn't have enough money to get on board but then she shows the captain the coin she got from [[Jaqen H'ghar]] and says "[[Valar Morghulis]]", which causes him to give her both a cabin and passage.

'''House Botley of Lordsport''' is a noble house from the [[Iron Islands]], one of the principal houses sworn to the [[House Greyjoy|Greyjoys]]{{ref|agot|Appendix}}. Their seat of [[Lordsport]] is located at the island of [[Pyke (island)|Pyke]], at the opposite side of the Greyjoys' keep [[Pyke]].

Their blazon is a shoal of silver fish on pale green.{{ref|acok|11}}<ref>The Citadel. Heraldry: [http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/Heraldry/Houses/3/ Houses in the Iron Islands]</ref> Their words do not appear in the books.

==History==
The stronghold of the Botleys had been a great structure of timber and wattle, but when King [[Robert Baratheon]] put down the [[Greyjoy Rebellion]], he razed the structure to the ground. A small square keep of stone was built afterwards.{{ref|acok|11}}

[[Tristifer Botley]] was sent away to be fostered with Lord [[House Blacktyde|Blacktyde]] when Lord [[Balon Greyjoy]] discovered he pretended to marry [[Asha Greyjoy]].

==Recent Events==
===''A Clash of Kings''===
[[Theon Greyjoy]] arrives at [[Lordsport]] from [[Seagard]] as envoy of King [[Robb Stark]]. He sees the new keep of the Botleys, full of pale green flags emblazoned with a shoal of silvery fish, and remembers that the last time he saw Lordsport it was a smoking wasteland.{{ref|ACOK|11}} In exchange for a horse, Theon takes [[Wex Pyke]], the bastard of [[Sargon Botley]], as his squire. When entering the great hall with his father's captains Theon sees some Botleys among them.{{ref|ACOK|24}}

[[Maron Botley]] and his sons are part of Theon's crew on the ''[[Sea Bitch]]''. They take part in the [[Battle of the Stony Shore]] and quarrel afterwards with [[Todric]] over plunder.{{ref|ACOK|37}}

Wex chooses to stay and fight with Theon during the [[Sack of Winterfell]]. Two Botleys join Wex in staying by Theon; they in all probability are slain.

===''A Storm of Swords''===
Lord [[Sawane Botley]] stands against [[Euron Greyjoy]] and claims that the [[Seastone Chair]] belongs to Theon after King [[Balon Greyjoy]]'s death. Euron Crow's Eye has Sawane drowned for that.{{ref|ASOS|45}} [[Germund Botley]] pledges fealty to Euron, inheriting his brother's lordship instead of his nephews, and retaining the part of the Botley lands that are not awarded to Lord [[Waldon Wynch]] for his support.{{ref|AFFC|11}}

===''A Feast for Crows''===
[[Harlon Botley]] was part of [[Victarion Greyjoy]]'s force holding [[Moat Cailin]], and died from a poisoned dart from the [[crannogmen]].

[[Asha Greyjoy]] spots the silverfish of Botley among the banners of those gathered to support her on [[Harlaw]]. She is approached by her childhood crush Tristifer Botley, lawful Lord of Lordsport after his father's death, who says that his uncle has been named lord by [[Euron Greyjoy|Euron Crow's Eye]] in return for his support. Half of the Botley lands, however, are given to [[House Wynch]] since they were the first to declare for Euron. Tristifer proposes to Asha but is refused.{{ref|affc|11}}

Victarion sees ''[[Silverfin]]'' on [[Old Wyk]] before the [[kingsmoot]], and [[Aeron Greyjoy]] spots the banners of House Botley among those gathered for the kingsmoot. During the kingsmoot, Germund wears a gilded breastplate he had taken off a [[House Lannister|Lannister]] captain during Balon's [[Greyjoy Rebellion|first rebellion]]. At the kingsmoot, Germund shouts for Euron and [[Tristifer Botley]] for [[Asha Greyjoy]].

Germund participates in the ironborn raid on the [[Battle of the Shield Islands|Shield Islands]]. He is spotted by [[Victarion Greyjoy]] in the hall of [[Lord Hewett's castle]] with a rope of pearls around his neck.

===''A Dance with Dragons''===
It is revealed that Wex survived the treachery of the [[House Bolton|Bolton]] men by climbing the [[heart tree]] in Winterfell's godswood and hiding in its branches. He was eventually found by Lord [[Wyman Manderly]], who learned from Wex the truth of the Sack of Winterfell as well as the whereabouts of [[Rickon Stark]].

==House Botley at the end of the third century==

The known Botleys during the timespan of the events described in ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'' are:
* Lord [[Sawane Botley|{Sawane Botley}]]: Lord of Lordsport. Drowned for not supporting the kingship of [[Euron Greyjoy|Euron Crow's Eye]].
** [[Harren Botley|{Harren Botley}]]: His eldest son. Died at [[Moat Cailin]].

** [[Vickon Botley]]: His fifth son.

'''Robb Stark''' is the eldest son of [[Eddard Stark]] and [[Catelyn Tully]] and is the heir of [[House Stark]] to [[Winterfell]] and the [[North]]. He is called the '''Young Wolf''' by friend and foe alike. In the television adaptation ''[[Game of Thrones]]'' he is played by [[w:Richard Madden|Richard Madden]].<ref>[http://www.hbo.com/game-of-thrones/index.html#/game-of-thrones/cast-and-crew.html/eNrjcmbOYC5kzlfPz0lxzEvMqSzJTA5ITE-1S8xN1SzLTEnNh4k65+eVpFaUsEknlpbkF+QkVtqWFJWmcjIysgEhAGCyFzg= Cast and Crew] on HBO</ref>

==Appearance and Character==
:''See also: [[:Category:Images of Robb Stark|Images of Robb Stark]]''
Robb's appearance favours his [[House Tully|Tully]] side, with a stocky build, blue eyes and thick red-brown hair. He is strong and fast. He opens the series as a boy of fourteen years.{{Ref|aGoT|1}}

When Robb is sixteen [[Catelyn Tully|his mother]] notices that he is no longer a boy, as war has melted all the softness from his face and left him hard and lean. His is clean shaven but his auburn hair falls uncut to his shoulders. On his head he bears his bronze and iron sword crown.{{Ref|asos|14|p 156}} Robb wears a surcoat over his armor and carries an oak shield decorated with a wolf's head.{{ref|AGOT|63}}

Robb is his [[Eddard Stark|father's]] son, with a keen sense of honor and justice. He shares his father's devotion to honor and is frequently accompanied by his [[direwolf]], [[Grey Wind]], whom he always takes with him into battle.

==History==
Robb was conceived during the first fortnight of [[Eddard Stark|Eddard]] and [[Catelyn Tully|Catelyn]]'s marriage, after which Eddard left his wife at [[Riverrun]] while he went to fight in [[Robert's Rebellion]].{{ref|aGoT|63}} Upon his return from the war, Catelyn greeted Ned with an infant Robb, and all returned to [[Winterfell]], where Ned would rule as Lord and Robb was to be raised as his heir.

Growing up in Winterfell, Robb was on good terms with his younger siblings, and developed a friendly rivalry with his bastard half-brother, [[Jon Snow]], who differs from Robb in appearance and personality.{{ref|aGoT|1}} Robb was also close with his father's ward, [[Theon Greyjoy]], who came to regard Robb as something of a younger brother.{{ref|aCoK|11}}

==Recent Events==
===''A Game of Thrones''===
[[File:MathiaArkoniel_Jaime_capture.jpg‎|thumb|280px|Robb Stark captures [[Jaime Lannister]] - by Mathia Arkoniel ©]]
Robb attends the execution of [[Gared]] and is present when [[Jon Snow]] discovers a litter of six [[direwolf]] pups in the snow. He claims one of the direwolves for his own and names him [[Grey Wind]].{{Ref|aGoT|1}} Shortly after the king's court arrive at [[Winterfell]], Robb spars with the crown prince [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]] using wooden swords. Bad blood develops between the two when Joffrey challenges Robb to spar with live steel. Ser [[Rodrik Cassel]], Winterfell's master-at-arms, does not allow it, to the mockery and chagrin of many of the present [[House Lannister|Lannister]] retainers.{{Ref|aGoT|6}}

When his father [[Eddard Stark|Eddard]] is named [[Hand of the King]] and journeys south to [[King's Landing]], Robb remains in Winterfell to rule in his father's stead with the help of his his mother, [[Catelyn Tully]].{{ref|aGoT|6}} After she travels to King's Landing, the responsibility falls solely on Robb.{{ref|aGoT|24}} After word of Eddard's arrest for treason reaches Winterfell, Robb calls the Stark bannermen to war and marches south to the [[Riverlands]].{{ref|aGoT|53}}{{ref|aGoT|55}} His motives are to support his mother's house, [[House Tully]], in response to the invasion of [[House Lannister|Lannisters]] from the [[Westerlands]], and with the ultimate goal of freeing Eddard Stark. His youth and experience is questioned by his father's bannermen, but he manages to unite them behind him.{{ref|aGoT|53}}

Upon learning that [[Riverrun]] has been besieged by a host led by Ser [[Jaime Lannister]], whilst another force led by Lord [[Tywin Lannister]] approaches from the south, Robb splits his forces, sending his footmen under the command of Lord [[Roose Bolton]] to engage Tywin's army, while crossing the [[Green Fork]] at [[the Twins]] with the majority of his horse.{{ref|aGoT|55}} His goal is to ride to and lift the siege of Riverrun. For allowing him crossing and his allegiance at the Twins, [[Lord Walder Frey]] extracts the price of a marriage contract, ensuring that Robb will marry a daughter of his house to be chosen after the war is finished.{{ref|aGoT|59}}

Robb leads his horsemen to Riverrun, where, aided by the counsel of his great-uncle, Ser [[Brynden Tully]], he achieves complete surprise in ambushing Jaime Lannister's army in the [[Battle of the Whispering Wood|Whispering Wood]], annihilating Jaime's forces and taking Jaime captive.{{ref|aGoT|63}} In this battle and all his others, Robb was protected by [[Robb's personal guard|a company of highborn warriors]] who would become his friends and companions. Shortly thereafter Robb is able to [[Battle of the Camps|lift]] the siege of Riverrun,{{ref|aGoT|71}} forcing Tywin's army, which had [[Battle of the Green Fork|scored a victory]] against Roose Bolton's footmen on the eastern shores of the Green Fork, to retreat back to [[Harrenhal]].{{ref|aGoT|69}}

Upon his lord father's execution at the command of King [[Joffrey Baratheon]], effectively ending the possibility of peace between Stark and Lannister, Robb is crowned by his bannermen and the river lords as the [[King in the North]].{{ref|aGoT|71}} The rivermen later grant him the title [[King of the Trident]].{{ref|ASOS|Appendix}}

===''A Clash of Kings''===
[[File:Christine Griffin RobbS.jpg|right|300px|thumb|King Robb Stark and [[Grey Wind]] - by C.Griffin ©]]
Remaining idle for a time at Riverrun, Robb sends [[Theon Greyjoy]], who fought with him in the [[Battle of the Whispering Wood|Whispering Wood]], to [[Pyke]] with the goal of securing an alliance with his father, Lord [[Balon Greyjoy|Balon]], against the [[House Lannister|Lannisters]] in exchange for recognition of the independence of the Iron Islands.{{ref|aCoK|7}} He also sends his mother south to treat with the late King [[Robert Baratheon|Robert]]'s younger brothers [[Stannis Baratheon|Stannis]] and [[Renly Baratheon|Renly]], both of whom have crowned themselves king.{{ref|aCoK|22}} Both envoys fail in their missions; Catelyn is unable to secure any meaningful treaty with either of the [[House Baratheon|Baratheon]] brothers (witnessing [[Siege of Storm's End (299)|Renly's assassination]] in the process), while Theon is rebuffed outright by Balon, who responds to the offer for peace with a large-scale invasion of the [[North]].{{ref|aCoK|33}}{{ref|aCoK|24}}

Robb, in the meantime, gathers his forces and launches an invasion into the [[Westerlands]], smashing a newly-forming Lannister host at [[Battle of Oxcross|Oxcross]] and winning battles at [[Battle of Ashemark|Ashemark]] and [[Battle of the Crag|the Crag]]. At the Crag, Robb suffers a wound and is tended by [[Jeyne Westerling]]. There he learns that a small force led by his one-time friend, Theon Greyjoy, has [[Battle of Winterfell|taken Winterfell]] and murdered his younger brothers [[Bran Stark|Bran]] and [[Rickon Stark|Rickon]] (though they were alive, in truth). Jeyne comforts him upon his hearing this news, which leads to his taking her maidenhood. In an effort to preserve her honor, Robb weds her immediately thereafter.{{ref|aSoS|14}} The Frey host that had accompanied Robb into the west are furious and withdraw their support.{{ref|aSoS|14}}

===''A Storm of Swords''===
Robb returns to [[Riverrun]] with his new wife in tow, much to his mother's horror as, having pledged to wed a daughter of [[House Frey]], this was not a slight that Lord [[Walder Frey]] is likely to overlook. Other problems await him in Riverrun: Ser [[Edmure Tully]], his mother's eldest brother and acting Lord of the [[Riverlands]] whilst his father [[Hoster Tully]] lays on his deathbed, met [[Tywin Lannister]]'s army as they attempted to cross the [[Red Fork]] at a ford near Riverrun and [[Battle of the Fords|threw them back]]. While this prevented Tywin's force from approaching Robb's from the rear, Robb's plan had been to entangle the army in a chase while [[Stannis Baratheon]] marched on [[King's Landing]]. Being thrown back at Riverrun allowed Tywin's force to turn around and arrive at [[King's Landing]] in time for the [[Battle of the Blackwater]], which turned the tide of the battle, and indeed the war, in the [[House Lannister|Lannister]]'s favor.{{ref|aSoS|14}} With problems on every side, Robb seems only to take solace in the company of the [[House Westerling|Westerlings]]; his loving wife, her brother [[Raynald Westerling|Ser Raynald]] his banner-bearer, and their younger brother, Robb's new squire [[Rollam Westerling|Rollam]]. With all others, he is the solemn King in the North.

Additionally, Robb learns that in her grief over the supposed murder of two of her sons, Catelyn released [[Jaime Lannister]] from captivity and entrusted him with a mission to return her daughters [[Sansa Stark|Sansa]] and [[Arya Stark|Arya]] to her, if possible.{{ref|aSoS|14}} This earns her the enmity of Lord [[Rickard Karstark]], as Jaime had slain two of Karstark's sons in the [[Battle of the Whispering Wood|Whispering Wood]]; Karstark required vengeance for their deaths. In response to his release, Karstark leads men to the cells of Riverrun and murders [[Tion Frey]] and [[Willem Lannister]], two prisoners. For this crime, Robb sentences him to death and beheads Lord Rickard himself. Immediately after, the Karstark forces desert Robb's army.{{ref|aSoS|20}}
[[File:A Price of Honor nejna.png|350px|thumb|right|Robb is betrayed and murdered in front of his mother Catelyn at the [[Red Wedding]] - by nejna ©]]
After the death of Hoster Tully, Robb intends to return to the North, reclaim his territory, which has been conquered by the [[ironmen]], and avenge the deaths of his brothers. Because he believes his brothers dead and Arya lost, and fearing that, by the laws of succession, were he to die without issue, Winterfell and the North would go to [[Tyrion Lannister]] (now Sansa's husband), Robb discusses the matter of his succession with his mother. To her chagrin, he suggests that, if he were to die, [[Jon Snow]] should succeed him. Shortly after, he sends [[Maege Mormont]] and [[Galbart Glover]] north to [[Greywater Watch]] each with a letter that contains false orders in order to protect Maege and Galbart if they are captured. They are being sent to Howland Reed to procure guides which will enable Robb to attack the ironborn unawares at Moat Cailin.

Robb marches back north to the [[Twins]] in order to gain passage for his army back across the [[Trident]]. Aware that he slighted Walder Frey in his marriage to Jeyne Westerling, he suggests that Edmure Tully wed one of Lord Walder's daughters in his stead, a proposal to which Edmure reluctantly agrees.{{ref|aSoS|35}} Leaving Jeyne behind at Riverrun, he takes his host with him to the Twins, where Lord Walder agrees to wed his daughter [[Roslin Frey|Roslin]] to Edmure.{{ref|aSoS|45}}

Even though [[Grey Wind]] apparently senses the upcoming betrayal, Robb enters the Twins and the nuptials that later become known as the [[Red Wedding]] occur.{{ref|aSoS|49}} After the ceremony and the [[bedding]], Lord Walder betrays Robb, having smuggled [[sellsword]]s into the feast under the guise of musicians, and murders Robb along with most of his companions and men. Catelyn watches [[Roose Bolton]] deliver the final blow to her son, stabbing him through the heart.{{ref|aSoS|51}} Driven mad with despair, Catelyn murders Walder's lackwit grandson [[Jinglebell]] and is killed shortly thereafter herself.{{ref|aSoS|53}} Grey Wind, who had been chained to placate the Freys, is also slain via crossbow bolts, his head removed and sewn onto Robb's body as a final insult to the King in the North.{{ref|aSoS|54}}

{{Quote|I’ve made a botch of everything but the battles, haven’t I?

{{Quote|'''Robb:''' Greatjon, keep Lord Karstark here till I return, and hang the other seven.

'''One of the Captive:''' Mercy, sire. I killed no one, I only stood at the door to watch for guards.

'''Robb:''' Did you know what Lord Rickard intended? Did you see the knives drawn? Did you hear the shouts, the screams, the cries for mercy?

'''Captive:''' Aye, I did, but I took no part. I was only the watcher, I swear it...

'''Brynden:''' He might. There are sons who hate their fathers, and in a stroke you will make him Lord of [[Karhold]].

'''Robb:''' Even if Harrion were that sort, he could never openly forgive his father’s killer. His own men would turn on him. These are northmen, Uncle. The north remembers.{{Ref|aSoS|20}}}}

{{Quote|Gods be good, why would any man ever want to be king? When everyone was shouting King in the North, King in the North, I told myself ... swore to myself ... that I would be a good king, as honorable as Father, strong, just, loyal to my friends and brave when I faced my enemies ... now I can’t even tell one from the other.

'''Xaro Xhoan Daxos''' is a merchant prince of [[Qarth]]. He is a member of the [[Thirteen]], a prominent group of traders within Qarth.

==Appearance and Character==
:''See also: [[:Category:Images of Xaro Xhoan Daxos|Images of Xaro Xhoan Daxos]]''
He is a languid, elegant man with a bald head and a great beak of a nose which is crusted with rubies, opals, and flakes of jade, giving him the aspect of some strange glittery bird.{{ref|aCoK|27}} His fingers are long and elegant. He can cry at will, a skill typical of [[Qartheen]] men.{{ref|aCoK|40}} Though he wishes to marry [[Daenerys]] he has homosexual inclinations.{{Ref|aDwD|16}}

==Vessels Belonging to Xaro==
He owns eighty-four vessels, including:
* his pleasure barge.{{ref|aCoK|63}}
*The [[Vermillion Kiss]]
*The [[Silken Cloud]]
*The [[Banded Lizard]]
He has told Dany that he does not own any warships.

==Xaro's Palace==
Xaro offers [[Daenerys]] the hospitality of his home while she is in the city. She had expected a grand residence but she had not expected a palace larger than many a market town. She thinks to herself that Xaro’s palace makes Magister [[Illyrio's manse]] in [[Pentos]] look like a swineherd’s hovel. {{Ref|aCoK|27}}

The palace easily accommodates Dany’s little [[khalasar]] and their horses, in fact it swallows them. An entire wing is given over to her. She has her own gardens full of fragrant lavender and mint, a marble bathing pool stocked with tiny golden fish, a scrying tower and [[warlock]]'s maze. {{Ref|aCoK|27}}

She also has [[slave]]s to tend to her every need. In her private chambers the floors are green marble and the walls are draped with colourful silk hangings that shimmer with every breath of air. {{Ref|aCoK|27}}

It is in the palace that Daenerys hears the news from [[Quhuru Mo]], the captain of the [[Cinnamon Wind]] swan ship, that the [[Usurper]] is dead. {{Ref|aCoK|27}}

==Xaro's Gifts to Daenerys Targaryen==
During Dany's stay with Xaro, he gave her many gifts:
*perfume and pomegranates
*tumbling monkeys
*spitting snakes, scrolls from lost Valyria
*an idol’s head and a serpent’s foot
*a [[palanquin]] of ebony and gold, and a matched set of bullocks to bear it, one white as ivory and one black as jet, with horns inlaid with jewels.
*A thousand [[knight]]s, each in shining armor. The armor is made of silver and gold, the knights of jade and beryl and onyx and tourmaline, of amber and opal and amethyst, each as tall as Dany’s little finger.

==Recent Events==
===A Clash of Kings===
When [[Jhogo]] returned to [[Vaes Tolorro]] after discovering [[Qarth]], he was accompanied by three representatives of the city, one of them being Xaro.{{ref|aCoK|12}} Having seen her dragons, Xaro escorts [[Daenerys]] to Qarth, where he offers her use of his palace during her stay.

Xaro offers Daenerys his knowledge, telling her which members of the [[Pureborn]] to bribe, the ways of reaching the Pureborn and who to go to next after she was rejected by them.

Xaro also seeks to marry her, though Dany later learns he wishes to marry her so he can claim one of her dragons via a Qartheen marriage custom. It is also revealed that he does not seem interested in women, as Dany can tell that Xaro hardly deigns to notice her bare breast when she is wearing a [[Qartheen gown]]. Daenerys has also noticed the beautiful boys who surround the merchant prince, flitting through his palace halls in wisps of silk. {{ref|aCoK|40}}

After the destruction of the [[House of the Undying]], Xaro offers to take Daenerys sailing around the [[Jade Sea]] but is rejected. He then tells her to leave the city.{{ref|aCoK|63}}

===A Dance with Dragons===
Xaro arrives on his ship'' [[Silken Cloud]]'' in [[Meereen]] to visit [[Daenerys Targaryen]]. He brings forth a gift of thirteen ships, stating that they are hers on the condition she sails from [[Slaver's Bay]] to [[Westeros]] as her presence has disrupted the [[slave]] trade which many [[Essos]]i cities such as [[Volantis]] and [[Qarth]] depend on for their economies.

During his visit she dons a [[Qartheen gown]] leaving one breast bare in his honour. She notes that half of the men in the hall have stolen glances at her, but not Xaro. She remembers that it was the same in Qarth, she cannot sway him that way. Xaro also warns her of many threats to her, including [[Pyat Pree]]. Daenerys has the ships he brought inspected but later refuses the offer. Xaro's reply was to leave a bloodstained glove on a satin pillow declaring that [[Qarth]] has declared war on Daenerys.{{ref|aDwD|16}}

==In the TV series==
In the Television adaptation of ASOIAF, A Game of Thrones, Xaro Xhoan Daxos is a Summer Islander, and has the typical jet black skin of Summer Islanders, as well as thinning hair and beard. Xaro wishes to become the king of Qarth, in a coup where he kills his fellow [[Thirteen]] and assist [[Pyat Pree]] in stealing Dany's dragons. Dany defeats Pyat Pree in the house of the undying, Daenerys then finds her handmaid [[Doreah]] in bed with Xaro, and sentences them to supposedly die in his vault with Doreah.
