The '''Valyrian Freehold''' was a great territory that spanned much of the continent of [[Essos]], but has since fallen to ruin, approximately one hundred years before [[Aegon's Landing]], when it was brought down by a cataclysmic event known as the [[Doom of Valyria]].

At its prime, the Valyrian Freehold encompassed most of the eastern continent and reached as far as the current [[Free Cities]] and the island of [[Dragonstone]] off the coast of [[Westeros]]. The Valyrian Freehold was technically never an empire <ref name=SSM1/> however for ease of reference it tends to be referred to as one.

The Freehold was an advanced civilization and the dominant military and cultural power of the known world. Its capital was the city [[Valyria]]. The Freehold was ruled by the ''Lords Freeholder'', powerful noble families. The most powerful of these were the [[dragonlords]].

==History==
Valyria was once a minor civilization of peaceful sheep-herding folk dwelling on the [[Valyrian peninsula]] until the Valyrians discovered [[dragon]]s lairing in the [[Fourteen Fires]], a ring of volcanoes on the said peninsula. The Valyrians tamed the dragons with [[magic]] and mastered the technique of raising and training the dragons into devastating weapons of war. {{Ref|aFfC|22}} They began expanding their influence, establishing the Freehold with [[Valyria]] as its capital. There, magic flowered, topless towers rose toward the heavens where dragons soared, stone [[sphinx]]es gazed down through eyes of garnet, and smiths forged swords of legendary strength and sharpness; and with their dragons and magic they began expanding their influence.

===Rise to Power and the Fall of Ghis===
Some five thousand years ago, in the early days of Valyria, the Old [[Ghiscari Empire]] dominated and controlled much of the eastern continent. The Ghiscari attempted to stop Valyria's expansion and the burgeoning freehold was involved in a series of great wars against the Old Ghiscari Empire. The Ghiscari [[Lockstep legions|legions]] attacked Valyria [[Ghiscari Wars|five times]] but they could never defeat them - with the help of dragons, Valyria was able to defend and emerge victorious each time.

Finally, in the last time, the Valyrians marched on their capital Old [[Ghis]] razed it to the ground and sowed its fields with salt, sulphur, and skulls {{Ref|aSoS|23}} obliterating it and thereby destroying the Ghiscari Empire. The Ghiscari people and their culture were wiped off the face of the earth.

After the conquest of Ghis, Valyria expanded its influence over the surviving Ghiscari colonies of [[Slaver's Bay]] and continued to conquer and colonize further.

===War against the Rhoynar===
When the Valyrians turned their eyes to the ancient and high civilization of the [[Rhoynar]], [[Garin (Prince)|Prince Garin the Great]] led an army of a quarter of a million men [[Second Spice War|against Valyria]]. However, resistance proved futile and their defeat was disastrous. [[Rhoynar Invasion|The remnants fled to Dorne]], led by the warrior queen [[Nymeria]]. The singers say her 10,000 ships were filled with women and children, suggesting all (or most) of the men of fighting age had died in the conflict with Valyria.

===Valyrian Imperialism & Western Expansion===
The Valyrian Freehold continued to expand and conquer further west, capturing many [[slave]]s from its conquered lands and using them to mine great wealth from the Fourteen Flames, as well as build great cities and [[Valyrian roads|roadways]] that led to Valyria. Cities built by the Valyrian Freehold include [[Oros]], [[Mantarys]], [[Tyria]], and all of the [[Free Cities]] except [[Braavos]].

At the height of its power, the Freehold stretched over most of the eastern continent that lay west of the [[Bone Mountains]]. Of the fabled great cities, the topless towers are remembered for their great beauty. Some two centuries before [[the Doom]] the Valyrian Freehold expanded into the western coastal reaches of [[Essos]]. They colonised the island of [[Dragonstone]] in the [[Narrow Sea]] and established a stronghold there, presumably from which they could trade with the [[Seven Kingdoms]].<ref>[http://thewertzone.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-full-story-of-targaryen-conquest-in.html?spref=tw&m=1]</ref> The island was the westernmost outpost of the Valyrian Freehold.

Centuries later [[Tyrion Lannister]] pondered why the Freehold did not expand west of Dragonstone to the mainland of [[Westeros]]:
{{Quote|Odd, that. Dragonstone is no more than a rock. The wealth was farther west, but they had dragons. Surely they knew that it was there. {{Ref|aDwD|5}}}}

===Doom of Valyria===
The [[Doom of Valyria]] was a cataclysmic event that took place approximately one hundred years before [[Aegon's Landing]], following which the city Valyria was utterly destroyed and the Valyrian Freehold crumbled and was no more. The Doom fragmented the land surrounding the city itself into numerous smaller islands, creating the [[Smoking Sea]] between them.{{Ref|aGoT|41}}<ref>[[A Game of Thrones (game)|A Game of Thrones RPG and Resource Book]], Guardians of Order</ref> The area is now described as "demon-haunted", and most people are afraid to go there, as it is said,
{{Quote|The Doom still rules in Valyria''. {{Ref|aSoS|8}}{{Ref|aFfC|28}}}}

==Legacy==
[[File:Metalblackfae From the blood of old Valyria.jpg‎|thumb|250px|[[Daenerys Targaryen]] exhibits the classic Valyrian racial characteristics - [[purple eyes]] and silver-gold hair. © Metalblackfae]]
Most of Valyria's culture, language, and craft was lost in the Doom, which was followed by the [[Century of Blood]]. Valyrian descendants scattered across the world, many across the surviving Valyrian colonies, which gained independence after the Doom and are now known as the [[Free Cities]], and across the cities of [[Slaver's Bay]]. The surviving Valyrians intermarried and became mixed with other peoples. Their descendants speak in various local dialects of [[High Valyrian|Valyrian]].{{Ref|aSoS|23}}{{Ref|aDwD|1}}

Valyria is remembered for its ability to raise and command dragons and using them as weapons of war. This was demonstrated by the [[House Targaryen|Targaryens]], the last of the known Valyrian dragonlords, who used that knowledge to [[War of Conquest|conquer]] and rule the [[Seven Kingdoms]].{{Ref|aGoT|Appendix}} Valyria is also remembered for forging weapons made of [[Valyrian steel]], a magical alloy used to make weapons of unparalleled quality. The secret of forging such metal was apparently lost with Valyria, making those remaining weapons highly treasured and extremely rare.{{Ref|aSoS|32}}

===Governance===
The 'Freehold of Valyria' at the zenith of its power was neither a kingdom nor an empire... or at least it had neither a king nor an emperor. <ref>So Spake Martin [http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Category/C91/P90/ SF, Targaryens, Valyria, Sansa, Martells, and More.]June 26, 2001</ref> Instead, all ''free holders'', or freeborn landowners, had a say in its governance.

In practice, however, the Freehold was ruled by the ''Lords Freeholder'', powerful noble families. They were forty families of great wealth, high birth, and strong sorcerous ability, those families which controlled and rode [[dragons]] in battle, who came to dominate, were known as [[dragonlords]], {{Ref|twoiaf| The Rise of Valyria}} <ref name=SSM2/> The [[Targaryen]]s were dragonlords, but far from the most powerful.

===Magic===
The people of Valyria were very strong in [[magic]], and they would use their powerful wizards and their [[dragons]] in conjunction with their armies to conquer most of the eastern continent. Dragons were controlled by whips, magic horns and sorcery.
===Language===
The Valyrians spoke the [[High Valyrian]] language.
===Architectural works===
The Valyrians had great skill in shaping stone. It is often said that the old wizards of Valyria did not cut and chisel stone, but worked it with fire and magic as one might work clay, although much of their knowledge is now lost. Valyrians had a powerful magic which could liquefy stone and shape it how they wanted.<ref>Chicon 7 Reading (September 02, 2012) [http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Category/C92/ So Spake Martin]</ref> [[Valyrian roads]], known as dragon roads, still exist as monuments to their work {{Ref|aGoT|23}}{{Ref|aDwD|6}} as well as [[Dragonstone]] castle, the [[Black Wall]] and the [[Long Bridge]].
===Slavery===
The Valyrians used thousands of [[slave]]s from across the continent in the blisteringly hot mines underneath the [[Fourteen Flames]] to find gold and silver. Slave revolts were common in the mines, but the Valyrians were strong in sorcery and were able to put them down. When there was war, the Valyrians took thousands of slaves, and when there was peace they bred them.{{Ref|aFfC|22}}
===Religion===
The Valyrians had a number of different gods, among them Balerion, Meraxes, Vhagar and Syrax.{{Ref|aGoT|13|p 122}} {{Ref|aCoK|12|p 191}} {{Ref|asos|57|p 649}} The singers named [[Aegon I Targaryen|Aegon the Conqueror]]'s and his sister's three dragons after those gods, although Aegon converted to the [[faith of the Seven]] during the [[War of Conquest]].

===Practices===
The practice of incest was common in old Valyria,{{Ref|aCoK|33}} as the Valyrians would customarily wed brother to sister. {{Ref|aGot|Appendix}} On [[Dragonstone]] the [[House Targaryen|Targaryens]] continued to practice incestuous marriage and polygamy to keep the dragon bloodline pure.

==Quotes==
{{Quote| An empire built on blood and fire.{{Ref|aDwD|33}}}} - [[Tyrion Lannister]]

{{Quote|All Valyrian sorcery was rooted in blood or fire. {{Ref|AFFC|45}}}}– [[Marwyn]] the Mage

{{Quote|"Valyria was the [[Magic|last ember]], and Valyria is gone." {{Ref|acok|28|p 442}}}} – Maester [[Luwin]]

== Influences ==
It is possible that the titanic clashes between Valyria and the Ghiscari Empire are inspired by the Punic wars between Rome and Carthage over control of the Mediterranean.

Valyrian steel

2015-06-01T19:45:01Z

Joramun king:

'''Valyrian steel''' was invented in [[Valyria]] and was used to make [[armament|weapons]] and various other items of unparalleled quality. Being spell-forged steel, it is the spells and [[magic]] that make the steel special.{{ref|AGoT|2}}<ref name=Producing/>

==History==
Valyrian steel was manufactured in the [[Valyrian Freehold]] with [[dragonfire]] before the freehold fell.{{Ref|HboGoT|s04e01}} Valyrian steel blades are lighter, stronger, and sharper than even the best castle-forged steel, and feature distinctive rippled patterns similar to [[wikipedia:Damascus steel|Damascus steel]], the mark of steel that has been folded back on itself many thousands of times.{{ref|ASoS|32}} Most Valyrian steel blades in [[Westeros]] are treasured heirlooms of noble houses, each with its own name and storied history. Valyrian steel keeps its edge forever.{{Ref|HboGoT|s04e01}} Valyrian steel was always costly, but it became considerably more so when there was no more Valyria, the secret of its making lost with the [[Doom of Valyria|Doom]].

Only the greatest weaponsmiths can reforge swords from existing Valyrian steel, making those remaining weapons highly treasured and extremely rare. The blacksmiths of [[Qohor]] claim to know how to reforge Valyrian steel.

==Recent Events==
===''A Game of Thrones''===
Lord [[Eddard Stark]] uses [[Ice]] to execute [[Gared]], a deserter from the [[Night's Watch]].

A [[catspaw]] tries to assassinate [[Bran Stark]] with a Valyrian steel dagger, but he is instead slain by [[Summer]]. Bran's mother, [[Catelyn Tully]], show the dagger to [[Petyr Baelish]], who claims to have lost the dagger in the [[tourney on Prince Joffrey's name day]].

Ser [[Ilyn Payne]] uses Ice to execute Ned Stark in [[King's Landing]].

In gratitude for having been saved from [[Othor|a wight]], Lord Commander [[Jeor Mormont]] gives [[Longclaw]] to [[Jon Snow]].

===''A Storm of Swords''===
Lord [[Tywin Lannister]] has [[Tobho Mott]], a blacksmith trained in [[Qohor]], reforge [[Ice]] into two new Valyrian blades. The first, [[Widow's Wail]], is given to King [[Joffrey Baratheon]] as a wedding gift by his grandfather, Tywin. Joffrey chooses its name from the shouted suggestion of an unnamed guest. Following Joffrey's death at his [[Purple Wedding|wedding feast]], ownership of Widow's Wail presumably passes to his younger brother, King [[Tommen Baratheon|Tommen]].

Tywin gives the second blade to his son, Ser [[Jaime Lannister]]. Jaime then gives it to [[Brienne of Tarth]] for use in her quest to locate [[Sansa Stark]], and he asks her to name it [[Oathkeeper]].

===''A Feast for Crows''===
When looking in the [[Night's Watch]]'s archives, [[Samwell Tarly]] reads about dragonsteel, which he and [[Jon Snow]] think might have been Valyrian steel.{{ref|affc|5}}{{ref|adwd|7}}

Sons of the Harpy

2015-04-15T15:15:11Z

Joramun king:

The '''Sons of the Harpy''' is the name of a group of [[Ghis]]cari from the city of [[Meereen]] and [[Astapor]]. Originally they are the officers that command the [[Unsullied]] if the city is attacked.{{Ref|aSoS|23}} They are suspected of being noble Meereenese families who oppose [[Daenerys Targaryen]] and her occupation of their city.

==Recent Events==
===A Dance with Dragons===
Since she conquered Meereen, the Sons have been fighting a shadow war against Daenerys's forces, slaying [[Freedmen]], [[Unsullied]] and [[Shavepates]]. Groups of Harpies attack lone individuals at night and draw a harpy in blood of the victim near the murder scene.{{Ref|aDwD|2}} They are suspected of belonging to the Noble Meereen families of [[House of Loraq|Loraq]], [[House of Zhak|Zhak]], [[House of Pahl|Pahl]], [[House of Quazzar|Quazzar]], [[House of Uhlez|Uhlez]], [[House of Ghazeen|Ghazeen]], [[House of Hazkar|Hazkar]], [[House of Dhazak|Dhazzak]], [[House of Yherizan|Yherizan]] and [[House of Merreq|Merreq]].

The Sons threaten the family of anyone who offers aid to Daenerys. Many of Daenerys's advisers suspect the Sons are being led and organized by a leader known as "[[The Harpy]]".

{{See homonyms | Viserys Targaryen (disambiguation)}}

'''Viserys Targaryen''', called '''The Beggar King''', is the heir of his father [[Aerys II]] and brother [[Rhaegar Targaryen|Rhaegar]] after their deaths during [[Robert's Rebellion]]. The war, however, turned him into an exile who plots to regain control of the [[Iron Throne]]. He styles himself as '''Viserys Targaryen, the Third of His Name, King of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm.'''

==Appearance==
Viserys has the silver-blonde hair and [[purple eyes]] of [[House Targaryen]], and a hard, gaunt face.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 3|Chapter 3]], Daenerys</ref> [[:Category:Images of Viserys Targaryen|this collection of images]].

==History==
[[File:Edriss_Flight_of_the_Dragoons.jpg‎|Viserys and [[Daenerys]] Targaryen, somewhere in [[Essos]], keeping one step ahead of the [[Usurper]]'s knives - by Jacqui Davis ©|thumb|200px|left]]
Viserys was a young boy at the time of [[Robert's Rebellion]]. When his brother [[Rhaegar]] was [[Battle of the Trident|defeated upon the Trident]], Viserys and his pregnant mother, [[Rhaella Targaryen|Rhaella]], were evacuated to [[Dragonstone]]. After the death of his mother and the end of the war, Viserys and his sister, [[Daenerys]], were smuggled to [[Braavos]] by the loyalist Ser [[Willem Darry]]. There they lived under Ser Willem's protection until his death.

Ser Willem's servants later evicted the last Targaryens, forcing them to wander the [[Free Cities]] as guests of powerful citizens. Their welcome eventually faded, and they were forced to sell off their possessions to survive, even [[Rhaella Targaryen|Rhaella]]'s crown. When Viserys sold his mother's crown the last joy had gone from him, leaving only rage, men started calling him ''The Beggar King''. While his relationship with his sister was initially warm, Viserys grew to resent Daenerys for killing their mother during her birth, and began treating her poorly. He would frequently warn her not to ''"wake the dragon"'' and incite his anger.

Viserys is an ambitious man but also impatient, delusional and blind to reality. He sees himself as a rightful King due instant respect and admiration and takes anything less as an insult. He refuses to accept the reality of [[House Targaryen]]'s situation when [[Robert Baratheon]] took the [[Iron Throne]]. Viserys believes that among the houses that would rise for him upon his landing would be the [[House Tyrell|Tyrells]], [[House Redwyne|Redwynes]], [[House Darry|Darrys]], [[House Greyjoy|Greyjoys]], and [[House Martell|Martells]].

While there is no question that Viserys is blind to the desperate reality of his situation, the Darrys were still displaying Targaryen [[tapestries]] fifteen years after Robert's Rebellion, and even a peasant spoke of better days in the past under King Aerys, during the march of captives to [[Harrenhal]].

==Recent Events==
===A Game of Thrones===
[[File:Aprilis420 targaryen.jpg|You don’t want to wake the dragon, do you? - by aprilis420 ©|thumb|350px|right]]
In [[Pentos]], Viserys meets [[Illyrio Mopatis]], who takes an interest in returning Viserys to the [[Iron Throne]] in return for rewards upon his ascension. Illyrio and Viserys arrange a marriage between [[Daenerys Targaryen|Daenerys]] and [[Khal Drogo]], a powerful [[Dothraki]] horselord who promises Viserys 10,000 men to conquer the [[Seven Kingdoms]]. Viserys, while willing to wed Daenerys to Drogo, is also resentful of having to give her up, and the night before the wedding tries to enter her room and at least claim her virginity. Illyrio, however, had the foresight to post guards on her room so this would not happen and ensure the impetuous Viserys didn't undo years of planning on Illyrio's part.

[[File:Viserys Targaryen.PNG|250px|thumb|Harry Lloyd as Viserys Targaryen ([[Game of Thrones|TV series]])]]

Viserys insists on traveling with Drogo to ensure the Khal honors the agreement. Illyrio tries to stop him by offering Viserys the use of his manse, but Viserys declines. Viserys believes that Drogo is delaying fulfilment of his promise and Viserys grows increasingly insistent on making a start to the invasion. Viserys believes he sold Dany to Drogo and that the Khal has not paid him for her. As Ser [[Jorah Mormont]] explains, the [[Dothraki]] do not buy or sell, but rather receive gifts and give gifts back eventually in return. He refuses to listen to Illyrio and Ser Jorah, who tell him repeatedly that the Khal sees Daenerys as a gift, and would give Viserys a gift (an army) in return, but only in the Khal's own time. Viserys is too foolish and impatient to listen.

He tries to browbeat Daenerys into persuading Drogo, but with her new position of authority as ''khaleesi'' she begins standing up for herself. After he tries to hit Daenerys, she has his horse taken away, forcing Viserys to walk. This is taboo amongst Dothraki as a man who is not on horseback is no man at all, and earns him the mocking nickname ''Khal Rhae Mhar'', "The Sorefoot King". Khal Drogo later offers him a place in a cart and Viserys accepts, in his ignorance believing it the Khal's way of apologizing to him for the wrong Dany did to him; unknown to Viserys, this is a greater insult then walking on foot, as carts are for cripples, [[eunuch]]s, the very old or very young, earning Viserys the new nickname ''Khal Rhaggat'', "The Cart King". At [[Vaes Dothrak]], Viserys gets drunk and again insists that Drogo give him his crown. Viserys draws a sword — banned in the sacred city of Vaes Dothrak as it is forbidden to shed a free man's blood there — and threatens Daenerys's unborn child. In response, Drogo announces that he is giving Viserys his crown; he melts down his belt of golden medallions and upends the pot over Viserys's head, fatally "crowning" him, though not one drop of blood is split in doing so.

===A Clash of Kings===
After Viserys's death, [[Daenerys Targaryen|Daenerys]] tries to remember Viserys as her brother and a good person behind all of his cruelty. Dany states that Viserys was cruel and weak and frightened, but he was still her brother. His dragon will do what he could not. She names her white dragon [[Viserion]] in his memory.

Although dead, Viserys is still an influence on Dany and her thoughts sometimes turn to the brother who raised her. In [[Qarth]] after being refused point blank by the [[Pureborn]] she remembers how he was forced to survive in order to take care of them and the negative effect it had on him and that she has now found herself in the same position:

{{Quote|I have become the most splendid beggar in the world, but a beggar all the same''. She hated it, as her brother must have. ''All those years of running from city to city one step ahead of the [[Usurper]]’s knives, pleading for help from archons and princes and magisters, buying our food with flattery. He must have known how they mocked him. Small wonder he turned so angry and bitter''. In the end it had driven him mad. ''It will do the same to me if I let it''. Part of her would have liked nothing more than to lead her people back to [[Vaes Tolorro]], and make the dead city bloom. ''No that is defeat. I have something Viserys never had. I have the [[dragons]]. The [[dragons]] are all the difference''. {{Ref|aCoK|40}}}}
===A Storm of Swords===
In [[Astapor]], after the viewing of the [[Unsullied]] slaves that Daenerys is considering purchasing, [[Arstan Whitebeard]] tries to discourage her from buying slaves, as that is not the [[Westeros]]i way. He begs her to hire [[sellsword]]s, to find her army in [[Pentos]], [[Myr]] and [[Tyrosh]] instead. Dany remembers the beggary her brother suffered. She knows she must leave Astapor with an army, she replies,
{{Quote|“My brother visited [[Pentos]], [[Myr]], [[Braavos]], near all the [[Free Cities]]. The magisters and archons fed him [[wine]] and promises, but his soul was starved to death. A man cannot sup from the beggar’s bowl all his life and stay a man. I had my taste in [[Qarth]], that was enough. I will not come to Pentos a beggar.” {{Ref|aSoS|23}}}}

When Daenerys goes to make an offer to the [[Good Masters]] of Astapor for all 8,000 [[Unsullied]] and the boys in training, [[Kraznys mo Nakloz]] wants her pretty crown as part of the price, but she tells him her crown is not for sale. She remembers that,
{{Quote|When Viserys sold their mother’s crown, the last joy had gone from him. {{Ref|aSoS|27}}}}

In [[Meereen]] Ser [[Barristan Selmy]] tells [[Dany]] that Viserys was his [[Aerys II|father]]'s son, something [[Rhaegar Targaryen|Rhaegar]] never was. {{Ref|aSoS|71}}

=== A Feast for Crows ===
When [[Arianne Martell|Arianne]], after being brought to see her father, tells him that she wants her rights to [[Dorne]], Prince [[Doran Martell|Doran]] finally reveals that she will have the kingdom when he passes. Arianne divulges that she knew of his scheme to make [[Quentyn Martell|Quentyn]] his heir, but her father tells her that he had other plans for her. He had offered her hand to old men because he knew she would rebuke them, but he had to be seen as trying. All along, he had promised her to Prince Viserys Targaryen, but now that the last male [[House Targaryen|Targaryen]] was dead, he had no reason to deny her her right to Dorne. He finishes by saying,
{{Quote|"We princes make our careful plans and the gods smash them all awry."}}
His original plan was to send her to [[Tyrosh]] to serve as the [[Archon]]'s cupbearer, where she could meet her betrothed in secret, while her brother Quentyn was being raised to assume the seat of their House. Finally Doran reveals why her brother is overseas, ''"to bring us back our heart's desire"''. When Arianne asks what that is, her father replies,
{{Quote|"[[Dany|Vengeance. Justice. Fire and blood]]." {{ref|affc|40}}}}

===A Dance with Dragons===
While travelling in [[Illyrio Mopatis]]’s litter, Illyrio tells [[Tyrion Lannister]] of Daenerys and Viserys Targaryen. He tells Tyrion that Viserys gave his sister to [[Drogo]] to win the khal’s friendship and that he was a vain young man, and greedy. He adds that Viserys lusted for his father’s throne, but he lusted for Daenerys too, and was loath to give her up. {{Ref|aDwD|5}}

He reveals that the night before Daenerys’s wedding he tried to steal into her bed, insisting that if he could not have her hand, he would claim her maidenhead (there is no indication that Daenerys is aware of this). [[Illyrio]] says that if he had not taken the precaution of posting guards upon [[Dany]]’s door Viserys might have undone years of planning. [[Tyrion]] then comments that Viserys,
{{Quote|Sounds an utter fool. {{Ref|aDwD|5}}}}
To which Illyrio replies,
{{Quote|Viserys was Mad Aerys' son, just so. {{Ref|aDwD|5}}}}
Ser [[Barristan Selmy]] tells [[Daenerys]] that after he was dismissed from the [[Kingsguard]] he realised that he had to redeem himself by finding the true king, and serve him loyally with all the strength that still remained to him. Dany answers that that would have been her brother Viserys. Ser Barristan agrees that that was his intent.

While playing [[cyvasse]] with [[Haldon]] Tyrion thinks to himself that Illyrio plays the game of thrones and [[Haldon]] and [[Griff]] and [[Rolly Duckfield|Duck]] are only pieces, to be moved where he will and sacrificed at need, just as he sacrificed Viserys. {{Ref|aDwD|14}}

At the [[Lazy Eel]] the patrons are gossiping and one of them recalls that Prince Viserys wasn’t the only Targaryen and talk turns to his sister, the princess [[Daenerys]], although no one can recall her name at first. {{Ref|aDwD|15}}

The [[Golden Company]]’s [[Tristan Rivers]] reveals that one of [[Illyrio]]’s plans was that Viserys Targaryen was to join them with 50,000 [[Dothraki]] screamers at his back, but then the Beggar King died, putting an end to that plan. {{Ref|aDwD|24|page 317}}

Daenerys remembers that Viserys had told her stories of the [[tourney]]s he had witnessed in the [[Seven Kingdoms]], but she has never seen a joust herself.

Upon [[Quentyn Martell]]’s arrival at Daenerys court he presents her with a parchment with seals and signatures. It is revealed that while Viserys and Daenerys were in [[Braavos]], under the care of Ser [[Willem Darry]], a secret pact was signed by Ser Willem and [[Oberyn Martell]] with the [[Sealord]] of [[Braavos]] as witness, promising that if Viserys wed [[Arianne Martell]] he would receive [[Dorne]]'s aid in placing him upon the [[Iron Throne]]. {{Ref|aDwD|43|page 571}}

Due to Viserys' impatience, he was made purposefully unaware of the marriage pact, lest he try to claim his bride too early, thereby bringing the wrath of the [[Iron Throne]] on [[Dorne]]. Dany immediately realises this and says to Ser [[Barristan]] that if her brother had known that he had a Dornish princess waiting for him, he would have crossed to [[Sunspear]] as soon as he was old enough to wed. {{Ref|aDwD|43|page 571}}

In [[Daenerys Targaryen]]'s final chapter in A Dance with Dragons, she wanders alone through the wasteland trying to get back to [[Meereen]]. She sleeps next to a stone wall, when she awakens she is reminded of the [[Wall]] of [[Westeros]] and that her brother would tell her it was the biggest wall in all the world, as proud as if he had built it himself. She also recalls that Viserys had told her of [[knight]]s so poor that they had to sleep beneath the ancient hedges that grew along the byways of the [[Seven Kingdoms]]. {{Ref|aDwD|71|page 936}}

Later on, when Dany goes to sleep she dreams of her dead brother. He looks just as he had the last time she had seen him. His mouth is twisted in anguish, his hair is burnt, and his face is black and smoking where the molten gold has run down across his brow and cheeks and into his eyes. She tells him that he is dead. She hears him whisper ''murdered''. Viserys says,
{{Quote|You never mourned me sister. It is hard to die unmourned. {{Ref|aDwD|71|pages 937-938}}}}
She replies,
{{Quote|I loved you once. {{Ref|aDwD|71|page 938}}}}
He echoes ''once'', so bitterly it makes her shudder. He tells her that she was supposed to be his wife and bear him children with silver hair and [[purple eyes]], to keep the blood of the dragon pure. He says to her that he took care of her. He taught her who she is. He fed her and sold their mother’s crown to keep her fed.
Dany argues with him, telling him her hurt her, frightened her, sold her and betrayed her. Viserys names Daenerys the betrayer and says that he never got his promised golden crown, that she turned against him and that [[Drogo]] and the [[Dothraki]] cheated him. She argues further with him and he says,
{{Quote|Do you want to wake the dragon, you stupid little whore? [[Drogo]]’s khalasar was mine. I bought them from him, a hundred thousand screamers. I paid for them with your maidenhead.}}
Dany tries again to explain to him that he should have waited for his crown, he replies,
{{Quote|I did wait. For my crown, for my throne, for you. All those years, and all I ever got was a pot of molten gold. Why did they give the [[dragon]]’s eggs to you? They should have been mine. If I’d had a [[dragon]], I would have taught the world the meaning of those words. {{Ref|aDwD|71}}}}
Viserys then begins to laugh until his jaw falls away from his face, smoking, and blood and molten gold runs from his mouth. Dany then awakens, gasping.

===The Winds of Winter===
[[Arianne Martell]] asks Ser [[Daemon Sand]] to tell her of Prince Viserys. She remarks that everyone says that Prince [[Rhaegar]] was beautiful, was Viserys beautiful as well? Ser Daemon replies that he supposes so - as Viserys was Targaryen - but he never saw the man so cannot say.

Arianne then thinks of the secret pact that Prince Doran had made all those years ago, which had called for her to be wed to Prince Viserys and that it had all come undone on the [[Dothraki Sea]], when he was murdered. Crowned with a pot of molten gold. She says to Ser Daemon that Viserys was killed by a Dothraki khal, the dragon queen's own husband. Ser [[Daemon Sand]] says that he’d heard that but what of it? Arianne the wonders,
{{Quote|"Just... why did Daenerys let it happen? Viserys was her brother. All that remained of her own blood."}}<ref>[http://georgerrmartin.com/if-sample.html ''The Winds of Winter'', Arianne sample chapter], made available on GRRM's website as of January 8th, 2013</ref>
Ser [[Daemon Sand]] merely replies that the [[Dothraki]] are a savage folk, who can know why they kill? Privately Arianne wonders if Daenerys resented her brother. She wonders to herself if perhaps Daenerys realised that once her brother was crowned and wed to her, she would be doomed to spend the rest of her life sleeping in a tent and smelling like a horse.

However Arianne is unaware that Daenerys knew absolutely nothing of the secret pact until [[Quentyn Martell]] presented her with the pact parchment upon meeting her in [[Meereen]]. Coming from a privileged, protected, entitled position with all the power of her House behind her Arianne does not appear to fully appreciate the desperate circumstances that Daenerys and her brother were in and how anger, bitterness, paranoia and beggary had driven Viserys mad long before his sister wed.

[[Image:AGameOfThrones.jpg|right|125px|link=A Game of Thrones]]

Long ago, in a time forgotten, a preternatural event threw the seasons out of balance. In a land where summers can last decades and winters a lifetime, trouble is brewing. The cold is returning, and in the frozen wastes to the north of Winterfell, sinister and supernatural forces are massing beyond the kingdom’s protective Wall. At the center of the conflict lie the Starks of Winterfell, a family as harsh and unyielding as the land they were born to. Sweeping from a land of brutal cold to a distant summertime kingdom of epicurean plenty, here is a tale of lords and ladies, soldiers and sorcerers, assassins and bastards, who come together in a time of grim omens.

Here an enigmatic band of warriors bear swords of no human metal; a tribe of fierce wildlings carry men off into madness; a cruel young dragon prince barters his sister to win back his throne; and a determined woman undertakes the most treacherous of journeys. Amid plots and counterplots, tragedy and betrayal, victory and terror, the fate of the Starks, their allies, and their enemies hangs perilously in the balance, as each endeavors to win that deadliest of conflicts: the game of thrones.

==[[A Clash of Kings]]==
[[Image:AClashOfKings.jpg|right|125px|link=A Clash of Kings]]

Time is out of joint. The summer of peace and plenty, ten years long, is drawing to a close, and the harsh, chill winter approaches like an angry beast. Two great leaders—Lord Eddard Stark and Robert Baratheon, who held sway over an age of enforced peace—are dead, victims of royal treachery. Now, from the ancient citadel of Dragonstone to the forbidding wilds of Winterfell, chaos reigns, as pretenders to the Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms prepare to stake their claims through tempest, turmoil, and war.

As a prophecy of doom cuts across the sky—a comet the color of blood and flame—six factions struggle for control of a divided land. Eddard's son Robb has declared himself King in the North. In the south, Joffrey, Robert's heir, rules in name only, victim of the scheming courtiers who teem over King's Landing. Robert's two brothers each seek their own dominion, while the disfavored House Greyjoy turns once more to conquest. And a continent away, an exiled queen, the Mother of Dragons, risks everything to lead her precious brood across a hard hot desert to win back the crown that is rightfully hers.

==[[A Storm of Swords]]==
[[Image:AStormOfSwords.jpg|right|125px|link=A Storm of Swords]]

Of the five contenders for power, one is dead, another in disfavor, and still the wars rage as violently as ever, as alliances are made and broken. Joffrey, of House Lannister, sits the Iron Throne, uneasy ruler of the land of the Seven Kingdoms. His bitterest rival, Lord Stannis, stands defeated and disgraced, victim of the jealous sorceress who holds him in her evil thrall. But young Robb, of House Stark, still rules the North from the fortress of Riverrun. Robb plots against his despised Lannister enemies, even as they hold his sister hostage at King’s Landing, seat of the Iron Throne. Meanwhile, making her way across a blood-drenched continent is the exiled queen, Daenerys, mistress of the only three dragons still left in the world.

As opposing forces maneuver for the final titanic showdown, an army of barbaric wildlings arrives from the outermost line of civilization. In their wake is a horde of mythical Others, a supernatural army of the living dead whose animated corpses are unstoppable. As the future of the land hangs in the balance, no one will rest until the Seven Kingdoms have exploded in a veritable storm of swords.

==[[A Feast for Crows]]==
[[Image:AFeastForCrows.jpg|right|125px|link=A Feast for Crows]]

It seems too good to be true. After centuries of bitter strife and fatal treachery, the seven powers dividing the land have decimated one another into an uneasy truce. Or so it appears. . . . With the death of the monstrous King Joffrey, his mother Cersei is ruling as regent in King’s Landing. Robb Stark’s demise has broken the back of the Northern rebels, and his siblings are scattered throughout the kingdom like seeds on barren soil. Few legitimate claims to the once desperately sought Iron Throne still exist, or they are held in hands too weak or too distant to wield them effectively. The war, which raged out of control for so long, has burned itself out.

But as in the aftermath of any climactic struggle, it is not long before the survivors, outlaws, renegades, and carrion eaters start to gather, fighting for the spoils and picking over the bones of the dead. Now in the Seven Kingdoms, as the human crows assemble over a banquet of ashes, daring new plots and dangerous new alliances are formed, while surprising faces—some familiar, others only just appearing—are seen emerging from an ominous twilight of past struggles and chaos to take up the challenges ahead.

It is a time when the wise and the ambitious, the deceitful and the strong will acquire the skills, the power, and the magic to survive the stark and terrible times that lie before them. It is a time for nobles and commoners, soldiers and sorcerers, assassins and sages to come together and stake their fortunes . . . and their lives. For at a feast for crows, the guests are many but the survivors are only a few.

==[[A Dance with Dragons]]==
[[Image:ADanceWithDragons.jpg|right|125px|link=A Dance with Dragons]]

In the aftermath of a colossal battle, the future of the Seven Kingdoms hangs in the balance—beset by newly emerging threats from every direction. In the east, Daenerys Targaryen, the last scion of House Targaryen, rules with her three dragons as queen of a city built on dust and death. But Daenerys has thousands of enemies, and many have set out to find her. As they gather, one young man embarks upon his own quest for the queen, with an entirely different goal in mind.

Fleeing from Westeros with a price on his head, Tyrion Lannister, too, is making his way to Daenerys. But his newest allies in this quest are not the rag-tag band they seem, and at their heart lies one who could undo Daenerys’s claim to Westeros forever.
Meanwhile, to the north lies the mammoth Wall of ice and stone—a structure only as strong as those guarding it. There, Jon Snow, 998th Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch, will face his greatest challenge. For he has powerful foes not only within the Watch but also beyond, in the land of the creatures of ice.

From all corners, bitter conflicts reignite, intimate betrayals are perpetrated, and a grand cast of outlaws and priests, soldiers and skinchangers, nobles and slaves, will face seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Some will fail, others will grow in the strength of darkness. But in a time of rising restlessness, the tides of destiny and politics will lead inevitably to the greatest dance of all.

{{See homonyms | Lancel Lannister (disambiguation)}}

'''Lancel Lannister''' is the eldest son of Ser [[Kevan Lannister]].

==Appearance==
A young, strong, handsome blond-haired man, Lancel is said to closely resemble his cousin, [[Jaime Lannister]]. He has green eyes and sandy hair, and is sixteen years old.{{Ref|aCoK|25}} See also [[:Category:Images of Lancel Lannister|this collection of images]].

==Recent Events==
===''A Game of Thrones''===
Alongside his cousin [[Tyrek Lannister|Tyrek]], Lancel serves as squire to King [[Robert Baratheon]], and is directly responsible for his death: on the request of Queen [[Cersei Lannister]], he provides the king with a large dose of strongwine as Robert tracks an enormous boar while hunting in the [[Kingswood]].{{Ref|aCoK|29}} The boar slays Robert.{{Ref|aGoT|47}}

===''A Clash of Kings''===

[[File:Lancel Lannister.jpg|250px|right|thumb|Artwork by Amoka ©]]
In payment for his service, Cersei has Lancel knighted and takes him into her bed.{{ref|ACOK|20}} Although the affair elicits strong emotions from Lancel, Cersei eventually grows bored and rebuffs him. [[Tyrion Lannister]] suspects the affair and gets Lancel to admit to it, blackmailing him into spying on Cersei for him.{{Ref|aCoK|29}} Lancel is present for, and survives, the [[Riot of King's Landing]]{{Ref|aCoK|41}}

Lancel fights in the [[Battle of the Blackwater]], though he is severely injured. For his services he is named the new Lord of [[Darry]] in the [[Riverlands]].{{Ref|aCoK|65}}

===''A Storm of Swords''===
Lancel recovers from the injuries he sustained in the battle, but his appearance is substantially changed in the process. No longer comely, he looks like a much older man and his hair has turned white and brittle. The [[High Sparrow|High Septon]] is instrumental in his recovery and Lancel develops a new found piety to the [[Faith of the Seven]]. As part of the pact between Lord [[Tywin Lannister]] and [[Lord Walder Frey]] concerning the betrayal of [[Robb Stark]], Lancel is wed to [[Amerei Frey]], a granddaughter of Walder's.{{Ref|aSoS|53}}

===''A Feast for Crows''===
Lancel takes his lordship of the lands of [[Darry]] and is ambivalent as to rumors of his new wife's promiscuity. [[Jaime Lannister]] visits Lancel at Castle Darry and, under questioning, Lancel admits to having slept with Cersei as well as to having supplied Robert Baratheon with the strongwine. Shortly afterwards, Lancel leaves his wife and castle in order to swear service as part of the newly reformed [[Faith Militant]].{{Ref|aFfC|30}}

===''A Dance with Dragons''===
Lancel is seen having joined the [[Warrior's Sons]], a division of highborn knights devoted to the Seven. Under the command of Ser [[Theodan Wells|Theodan the True]], he makes up part of Cersei's escort in her walk of shame.{{Ref|aDwD|65}}
==Quotes==
{{Quote|Look at him. Not quite so tall, his features not so fine, and his hair is sand instead of spun gold, yet still . . . even a poor copy of Jaime is sweeter than an empty bed. I suppose.
{{Ref|acok|29|p 328}}}} - [[Tyrion]]

{{Quote|[[Knight]]ing him was a mistake, and bedding him was a bigger one.}} - [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei]], contemplating Lancel

{{Quote|The Imp was lying. Cersei would sooner have [[Robert Baratheon|Robert]]’s corpse between her legs than a pious fool like Lancel. [[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion]], you evil bastard, you should have lied about someone more likely. {{Ref|aFfC|16}}}} - [[Jaime Lannister|Jaime]]

Princess '''Myrcella Baratheon''' is the second oldest of the royal [[House Baratheon|Baratheon]] children. Like all of Cersei's children, her father is in truth Cersei's brother [[Jaime]].

==Appearance and Personality==
:''See also'' [[:Category:Images of Myrcella Baratheon|this collection of images]].
Myrcella is described by her uncle [[Tyrion Lannister]] as having all of her mother's beauty, but none of her mother's nature. She is delicate, beautiful, and courteous. For her age, she displays courage, a strong will, and high intelligence. She is eight at the beginning of the series. During [[Darkstar]]'s attempt to slay her he fails to kill her but opens up her cheek down to the bone and slices off her right ear. Maester [[Caleotte]] is able to save her life, but no poultice nor potion will ever restore her face to its former beauty.

===A Clash of Kings===
In an effort to win [[Dorne]] over to the side of [[House Lannister]] in the [[War of the Five Kings]], her uncle [[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion]] offers to marry her to [[Trystane Martell]], Prince [[Doran Martell|Doran]]'s youngest son.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 20|Chapter 20]], Tyrion</ref> The offer is accepted and Princess Myrcella, accompanied by Ser [[Arys Oakheart]] of the [[Kingsguard]], set sail for [[Braavos]], where they will be met by an escort from [[Dorne]].<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 41|Chapter 41]], Tyrion</ref>.

===A Feast for Crows===
To get revenge against the Lannisters for the deaths of [[Elia Martell|Elia]] and [[Oberyn Martell]], [[Arianne Martell]] schemed to make Myrcella Queen of the Seven Kingdoms after [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey I]]'s death. According to Dornish law, an elder sister inherits before her younger brother, which would make Myrcella the rightful queen.<ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 13|Chapter 13]], The Soiled Knight</ref> Arianne hoped that the Dornishmen would rise to defend her claim for a chance to war against the Lannisters, who would be expected to support Myrcella's brother [[Tommen Baratheon|Tommen I]].

Arianne and a small group of friends traveled with Myrcella through the desert, leaving the princess' cousin and handmaiden [[Rosamund Lannister]] as a decoy in Sunspear. When they came to their destination, [[Doran Martell]]'s guardsmen were waiting for them. Their conspiracy had been betrayed. Myrcella's bodyguard, [[Arys Oakheart]], attacked the guardsmen but was killed by [[Areo Hotah|their captain]]. During the chaos, Ser [[Gerold Dayne]] attempted to kill Myrcella to force Doran Martell into a war against the Lannisters.<ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 21|Chapter 21]], The Queenmaker</ref> He failed to kill her, but Myrcella lost an ear and received a hideous facial scar.<ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 40|Chapter 40]], The Princess in the Tower </ref>

[[File:Myrcella Baratheon.PNG|220px|thumb|right|Aimee Richardson as Myrcella Baratheon]]

===A Dance with Dragons===
Myrcella injuries are revealed to Ser [[Balon Swann]] of the [[Kingsguard]]. As coached by the Martells, she states her injuries are due to the actions of the renegade knight Ser [[Gerold Dayne]] and under Arianne's direction lies to Ser Balon Swann and claims he also cut down Ser Arys Oakheart. She then begs Ser Balon to bring Ser Gerold to justice (once again under Arianne's direction). Ser Balon agreed.

{{See homonyms | Brandon Stark (disambiguation)}}

'''Brandon Stark''', older brother to [[Eddard Stark]], [[Lyanna Stark]] and [[Benjen Stark]], was the original heir to [[Winterfell]] prior to [[Robert's Rebellion]].

==Appearance and Character==
Brandon was in appearance and character very different from Eddard.{{Ref|aSoS|45}} He was rather hot-blooded, something his younger brother described as coming from the wolfblood. He shared this trait with [[Lyanna Stark|his sister]].{{Ref|aGoT|22}} Brandon was tall and handsome, and was an excellent swordsman and jouster.

==History==

Brandon was fostered at [[Barrowton]] with Lord Dustin, father of [[Willam Dustin]], but he spent most his time riding the [[Rills]]. In his youth, he took the maidenhead of [[Barbrey Ryswell]], who was infatuated with him.

Brandon was betrothed to [[Catelyn Tully]] of [[Riverrun]], but [[Petyr Baelish]], a ward of Catelyn's father, also loved Catelyn and challenged Brandon to a duel for her hand. Brandon won their duel, but did not kill Petyr, in concession to Catelyn's pleas.{{Ref|aGoT|18}}{{Ref|aGoT|40}}

At the [[Tourney at Harrenhal]], Brandon was unhorsed by Prince [[Rhaegar Targaryen]].{{Ref|aGoT|58}} It was implied that in the tournament of Harrenhal, he asked [[Ashara Dayne]] to dance with his younger brother Eddard (who was too shy to ask her himself). It is also implied (but not confirmed) that Brandon later bedded Ashara Dayne and got her with child.

Brandon was on his way to Riverrun to wed Catelyn when word reached him of his sister Lyanna's supposed abduction by Prince [[Rhaegar Targaryen]]. Brandon, along with his squire [[Ethan Glover]], [[Kyle Royce]], [[Elbert Arryn]], and [[Jeffory Mallister]], rode to [[King's Landing]] and threatened Rhaegar's life. They were arrested by [[Aerys II|King Aerys]] and charged with plotting Rhaegar's murder. Their fathers were called to court to answer the charges. Brandon was forced to watch as his father was cooked alive in his own armor. He was bound with a leather cord around his neck and a longsword just out of reach, and he strangled himself trying to get to the sword to save his father.{{Ref|aGoT|4}}{{Ref|aCoK|55}}

Lord '''Brandon Stark''' was the supposedly the Lord of [[Winterfell]] when [[Bael|Bael the Bard]] was just a common [[wildling]] raider.

==Legend of Bael the Bard==
The lord of the North at this time, Lord [[Brandon Stark (the daughterless)|Brandon Stark]] once called Bael a coward. To take revenge of this affront and prove his courage, Bael climbed the [[Wall]], took the [[Kingsroad]] and entered [[Winterfell]] under the name of ''Sygerrik of Skagos'', which means ''deceitful'' (in the [[Old Tongue]]} of [[Skagos]], a singer. There, he sang until midnight for the lord. Impressed by his skills as a singer, Lord Stark asked him what he wanted as a reward, and Bael only asked for the most beautiful flower blooming in Winterfell's gardens. As the [[blue winter rose]] were just blooming, Brandon Stark accepted to offer him one. But the following morning, the single, virgin daughter of the lord had disappeared, and in her bed was the blue winter rose.

Lord Brandon sent the members of the [[Night's Watch]] looking for them beyond the [[Wall]], but neither Bael nor the girl were found. The Stark line was on the verge of extinction, when one day the girl was back in her room, holding in her hand an infant: they had actually never left [[Winterfell]], staying hidden in the crypts. The [[bastard]] of Bael and the daughter of the Lord Stark became the new Lord Stark of Winterfell.

About thirty years later Bael became [[King-Beyond-the-Wall]] and lead the [[wildling]]'s army south, he had to fight his own son at the [[Frozen Ford]]. There, incapable of killing his own blood, he let himself be killed by Lord Stark. His son brought back Bael's head to [[Winterfell]], and his mother who had loved the bard, seeing the trophy, killed herself from the top of a tower.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 51|Chapter 51]], Jon</ref>

==Time of the events==
The books don't mention the exact time of the events only say that it was a "long time back". As Brandon Stark and his grandson are booth given the title "Lord" instead of King this seems to indicate that the story took place after the Starks gave up their kingship; around [[1 AL]]).

On the other hand the story tells that Bael's son was killed by one of his own lords who wore his skin afterwards. The habit of flaying an enemy and wearing his skin was practiced by the [[House Bolton|Bolton]] lords up until 700 before AL<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 50|Chapter 50]], Theon</ref>.

'''Brandon Stark''', also known as '''Brandon ''the Builder''''', was a member of [[House Stark]] (and perhaps even its founder) who lived during the [[Age of Heroes]]. He owes his name to the fact he built the [[Wall]] and [[Winterfell]].<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 24|Chapter 24]], Bran</ref> Some stories say he did it with the help of [[Giants]]. He is accredited for other famous constructions, especially [[Storm's End]].

It's said that Bran the Builder had given the [[Night's Watch]] [[Brandon's Gift]], a stretch of land 25 leagues wide, but [[Maesters]] argue it was some other Brandon of [[House Stark]]<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], p.452, p.453</ref>.

Princess '''Myrcella Baratheon''' is the second oldest of the royal [[House Baratheon|Baratheon]] children. Like all of Cersei's children, her father is in truth Cersei's brother [[Jaime]].

==Appearance and Personality==
:''See also'' [[:Category:Images of Myrcella Baratheon|this collection of images]].
Myrcella is described by her uncle [[Tyrion Lannister]] as having all of her mother's beauty, but none of her mother's nature. She is delicate, beautiful, and courteous. For her age, she displays courage, a strong will, and high intelligence. She is eight at the beginning of the series. During [[Darkstar]]'s attempt to slay her he fails to kill her but opens up her cheek down to the bone and slices off her right ear. Maester [[Caleotte]] is able to save her life, but no poultice nor potion will ever restore her face to its former beauty.

===A Clash of Kings===
In an effort to win [[Dorne]] over to the side of [[House Lannister]] in the [[War of the Five Kings]], her uncle [[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion]] offers to marry her to [[Trystane Martell]], Prince [[Doran Martell|Doran]]'s youngest son.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 20|Chapter 20]], Tyrion</ref> The offer is accepted and Princess Myrcella, accompanied by Ser [[Arys Oakheart]] of the [[Kingsguard]], set sail for [[Braavos]], where they will be met by an escort from [[Dorne]].<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 41|Chapter 41]], Tyrion</ref>.

===A Feast for Crows===
To get revenge against the Lannisters for the deaths of [[Elia Martell|Elia]] and [[Oberyn Martell]], [[Arianne Martell]] schemed to make Myrcella Queen of the Seven Kingdoms after [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey I]]'s death. According to Dornish law, an elder sister inherits before her younger brother, which would make Myrcella the rightful queen.<ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 13|Chapter 13]], The Soiled Knight</ref> Arianne hoped that the Dornishmen would rise to defend her claim for a chance to war against the Lannisters, who would be expected to support Myrcella's brother [[Tommen Baratheon|Tommen I]].

Arianne and a small group of friends traveled with Myrcella through the desert, leaving the princess' cousin and handmaiden [[Rosamund Lannister]] as a decoy in Sunspear. When they came to their destination, [[Doran Martell]]'s guardsmen were waiting for them. Their conspiracy had been betrayed. Myrcella's bodyguard, [[Arys Oakheart]], attacked the guardsmen but was killed by [[Areo Hotah|their captain]]. During the chaos, Ser [[Gerold Dayne]] attempted to kill Myrcella to force Doran Martell into a war against the Lannisters.<ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 21|Chapter 21]], The Queenmaker</ref> He failed to kill her, but Myrcella lost an ear and received a hideous facial scar.<ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 40|Chapter 40]], The Princess in the Tower </ref>

[[File:Myrcella Baratheon.PNG|220px|thumb|right|Aimee Richardson as Myrcella Baratheon]]

===A Dance with Dragons===
Myrcella injuries are revealed to Ser [[Balon Swann]] of the [[Kingsguard]]. As coached by the Martells, she states her injuries are due to the actions of the renegade knight Ser [[Gerold Dayne]] and under Arianne's direction lies to Ser Balon Swann and claims he also cut down Ser Arys Oakheart. She then begs Ser Balon to bring Ser Gerold to justice (once again under Arianne's direction). Ser Balon agreed.

Joramun king:

[[File:Agot hbo guide map.jpg|thumb|400px|The Known World as seen in the TV show]]
'''The Known World'''{{Ref|aGoT|64}} (also known as the '''Earth'''{{Ref|aGoT|4}}) is a world composed of at least three continents ([[Westeros]], [[Essos]], and [[Sothoryos]]), a large landmass ([[Ulthos]]), and a number of many smaller islands.

None of the four major landmasses have been completely mapped.<ref name=LOIAF>[[The Lands of Ice and Fire]]</ref>
<br clear=all>
==Continents==
[[File:WorldofIceandFire.png|600px|The Known World as of The Lands of Ice and Fire]]
<br clear=all>
===Westeros===
[[File:World_map_Westeros.png|300px|thumb|Location of Westeros within the known world.]]
Located in the far west of the known world, [[Westeros]] extends southwards from the northern polar icecap for approximately 3,000 miles. The [[Wall]], a colossal fortification which stretches for 300 miles, separates the lands [[Beyond the Wall]] from the [[Seven Kingdoms]], a political entity that unifies the rest of the continent. The Seven Kingdoms is divided into nine constitute regions.
<br clear=all>

===Essos===
[[File:World_map_Essos.png|300px|thumb|Location of Essos within the known world.]]
Separated from Westeros by the [[Narrow Sea]], [[Essos]] extends eastwards for many thousands of miles. It is larger than Westeros but less densely populated. The western edge of the continent is controlled by the nine [[Free Cities]], while the citystates of [[Slaver's Bay]] are located in the south-central region. Much of the continental interior, known as the [[Dothraki Sea]], is grassland ruled by the tribal warriors known as the [[Dothraki]]. Further east is [[Qarth]] and the fabled [[Jade Sea]]. The far eastern coast of Essos is unknown, as it lies beyond legendary [[Asshai]] and the forbidding [[Shadow Lands]].
<br clear=all>

===Sothoryos===
[[File:World_map_Sothoros.png|300px|thumb|Location of Sothoros within the known world.]]
[[Sothoryos]] is located south of Essos, on the far side of the [[Summer Sea]]. It is a large continent consisting of deserts and jungles. It is said to be a haven for plagues and dangerous animals, and has not been explored much beyond the northern coastal regions.
<br clear=all>

===Ulthos===
[[Ulthos]] is a large landmass located to the southeast of Essos, across the [[Saffron Straits]] from the [[Shadow Lands]]. It may or may not be a continent.<ref>[http://grrm.livejournal.com/299668.html#comments So Spake Martin]</ref>

==Islands==
The largest island in the Known World is [[Great Moraq]], located between the [[Summer Sea]] and the [[Jade Sea]] to the south of [[Qarth]]. The second largest appears to be [[Ib]] in the [[Shivering Sea]] north of the [[Kingdoms of the Ifeqevron]], followed by the largest of the [[Summer Isles]], [[Jhala]].<ref name=LOIAF/>

==Other lands==
Lord [[Gylbert Farwynd]] of the [[Lonely Light]], the island farthest west of the Known World, spoke of lands farther to the west, across the [[Sunset Sea]]. This land had no winter and no death. These claims were not treated seriously.{{Ref|aFfC|19}}

King [[Brandon Stark (Shipwright)|Brandon Stark the Shipwright]] attempted to sail across the Sunset Sea, but never returned.{{Ref|aGoT|66}}

==Seas==
The largest seas appear to be the [[Shivering Sea]], north of Essos, and the [[Sunset Sea]], west of Westeros. The [[Summer Sea]] and [[Jade Sea]] lie between Essos and Sothoryos, and the [[Narrow Sea]] seperates Westeros from Essos.<ref name=LOIAF/>

* '''[[Westeros]]''': Located in the far west of the [[Known World|known world]], Westeros extends southwards from the northern polar icecap for approximately 3,000 miles. The [[Wall]], a colossal fortification which stretches for 300 miles, separates the Lands [[Beyond the Wall|North of the Wall]] and the [[Seven Kingdoms]], a political entity that unifies the rest of the continent. It's divided into nine constitute regions.<br><br>'''Regions''': [[Beyond the Wall|North of the Wall]] '''·''' [[The North]] '''·''' [[The Riverlands]] '''·''' [[The Vale]] '''·''' [[The Iron Islands]] '''·''' [[The Westerlands]] '''·''' [[The Reach]] '''·''' [[Crownlands|The Crownlands]] '''·''' [[The Stormlands]] '''·''' [[Dorne]].

<hr>

* '''[[Essos]]''': Separated from Westeros by the Narrow Sea, Essos extends eastwards for many thousands of miles. It is larger than Westeros but less densely populated. The western edge of the continent is controlled by the nine [[Free Cities]], whilst the city-states of [[Slaver's Bay]] are located in the south-central region. Much of the continental interior known as the [[Dothraki Sea]] is ruled by the tribal warriors known as the [[Dothraki]]. Further east is [[Qarth]] and the fabled [[Jade Sea]]. The far eastern coast of Essos is unexplored, as it lies beyond legendary Asshai and the forbidding Shadow Lands.<br><br>'''Regions''': [[Free Cities]] '''·''' [[Slaver's Bay]] '''·''' [[Dothraki Sea]] '''·''' [[Red Waste]] '''·''' [[Valyrian peninsula]] '''·''' [[Essos|Other]].

<hr>

* '''[[Sothoryos]]''': Relatively little known, Sothoryos is located south of Essos, on the far side of the Summer Sea. It is a large continent consisting of deserts and jungles. It is said to be a haven for plagues and dangerous animals, and has not been explored much beyond the northern coastal regions.<br><br>'''Regions''': [[Naath]] '''·''' [[Isle of Tears]] '''·''' [[Basilisk Point]]

Aerys showed great promise at the start of his reign, bringing peace and prosperity to the [[Seven Kingdoms]], but later descended into insanity following the brief uprising known as the [[Defiance of Duskendale]], in which he was held prisoner for several months by a rebellious lord. After that, his paranoia and cruelty grew out of control.

==Character & Appearance==
In his youth, Aerys II was charming, generous, handsome and resolute, although somewhat quick to anger. As he grew older, he became increasingly jealous, suspicious and cruel, prone to furious outbursts.

After the [[Defiance of Duskendale]], these characteristics became more pronounced. He began to see every unexplained event or act of minor defiance as evidence of fearful conspiracies against him, and devised sadistic punishments for those he imagined to be his enemies. He developed a fascination with fire, which eventually grew so consuming that he could only become sexually aroused by watching someone burn to death. His marriage to his sister-wife [[Rhaella Targaryen|Rhaella]], while never happy, became sexually abusive late in his reign.

By the end of his life, Aerys' madness had taken a serious toll on his appearance, so that although only forty years old at the time of his death, he looked much older. He ate little and became gaunt as a result of his fear of poison.

After repeatedly cutting himself on the [[Iron Throne]] he developed a phobia about blades, and forbade any sharp implements in his presence other than the swords of his [[Kingsguard]], refusing even to trim his nails or hair. His fingernails grew to nearly a foot long, and his hair and beard hung far past his shoulders in wild tangles. See also [[:Category:Images of Aerys II Targaryen|this collection of images]]. He wore the elaborate dragon-emblazoned crown of Aegon IV.{{Ref|aFfC|16}} <ref> Targaryen Kings. (November 1, 2005) [http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Category/C91/ So Spake Martin]</ref>

==Early life==
Aerys was born to Prince [[Jaehaerys II Targaryen|Jaehaerys]], the second son of King [[Aegon V Targaryen|Aegon V]]. While still a teenager, Aerys was married to his sister [[Rhaella Targaryen|Rhaella]] in accordance with the family tradition of dynastic incest. The marriage was arranged by [[Aegon V Targaryen|their grandfather the king]], who was motivated by a prophecy that he interpreted to mean the [[prince that was promised]] would be born of their line. According to Ser [[Barristan Selmy]], who was present at the wedding, there was no fondness between the two siblings.

In {{Date|259}}, Rhaella gave birth to their firstborn son and heir, Prince [[Rhaegar Targaryen|Rhaegar]]. He was ''"born in blood and grief"'' during the disaster known as the [[Tragedy of Summerhall]], which killed King Aegon V, his heir Prince [[Duncan Targaryen|Duncan]], and many others. Aerys' father Jaehaerys ruled for only three years before passing away, and Aerys became King Aerys II.

Aerys and Rhaella would later have a second son, Prince [[Viserys Targaryen|Viserys]], and eventually a daughter, Princess [[Daenerys Targaryen|Daenerys]], although the latter would not be born until after her father's death.

==Early reign==
Aerys' reign began in {{Date|262}} with great promise. Over the peaceful first dozen years, the realm recovered from the tragic events at Summerhall, growing strong and prosperous. However, problems would arise that eventually transformed the character of Aerys' reign into something very different.

Under his father and grandfather, the royal court at [[King's Landing]] had grown stuffy and conservative, filled with hidebound old men. Aerys brought sweeping changes, replacing many prominent officials with younger faces. Impressed by the ruthlessness of the young Lord [[Tywin Lannister]] in dealing with [[Reyne-Tarbeck Rebellion|rebellion]] against [[Casterly Rock]], he named Tywin as the [[King's Hand]].

However, the relationship between Aerys and Tywin was always complicated. When he was still a prince, Aerys had developed a crush on [[Joanna Lannister]], who was to marry her cousin Tywin. Aerys was present at the wedding and drank too much during the feast, leading to him joking that it was a great pity that the lord's right to the first night had been abolished and to taking certain liberties during the [[bedding]]. It is said that Tywin did not forget Aerys' behavior.{{Ref|aDwD|43}}

Eventually, Aerys came to regret his choice for Hand – not because of any lack of competence on Tywin's part, but rather the opposite. He proved to be a brilliant administrator, and as Hand his reputation for brutal effectiveness became so well-known and so widely respected that popular rumor held it was Tywin, not Aerys, who truly ruled the realm. (Lord Tywin's captain of the guard, Ser [[Ilyn Payne]], would eventually lose his tongue at Aerys' command for repeating this boast.{{Ref|aFfC|27}}) Jealous of the respect and fear accorded to Tywin, Aerys resolved to rely less on his Hand.

In {{Date|276}}, Lord Tywin staged a [[Tourney at Lannisport|tourney]] in the king's honor. There he proposed a marriage between his daughter [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei]] and Prince Rhaegar. However, Aerys' fear of Tywin's power and ambition led him to reject the offer rudely, saying that Tywin was a mere servant of the crown, and no servant's daughter was fit to marry a prince of royal blood. The tourney ended without a feast and Aerys departed in a chilly atmosphere. Tywin would not forget the insult.{{Ref|aFfC|24}}

==The Defiance of Duskendale==
:{{See also|Defiance of Duskendale}}
In late {{Date|276}}, Lord [[Denys Darklyn]] of [[Duskendale]], possibly influenced by his [[Myr|Myrish]] [[Serala|wife]], withheld port taxes from the crown. Eager to demonstrate his ability to handle the situation without the help of his Hand, Aerys decided to settle the issue personally, a decision that would backfire horribly. Taking a small force that included only one [[Kingsguard]] knight, Aerys personally marched to Duskendale to arrest and execute Lord Denys. Denys panicked and took the king prisoner. Lord Tywin was left to resolve the crisis himself, amassing an army and laying siege to the town in what became known as the [[Defiance of Duskendale]]. The situation remained in a stalemate for six months, with Denys threatening to execute the king at the first sign that Tywin intended to storm the town. Finally, Ser [[Barristan Selmy]] of the Kingsguard staged a daring infiltration and managed to rescue the king.

Lord Denys immediately surrendered and begged for mercy, but in his fury Aerys had him immediately beheaded. His rage still not sated, the king ordered [[House Darklyn]] utterly destroyed, along with [[House Hollard]], which had sided with them. Every last member of both families was tortured at excruciating length before being burned alive, with the sole exception of the child [[Dontos Hollard]], who was spared only at Ser Barristan's pleading. Ser Barristan later developed doubts about his actions at Duskendale, wondering whether Aerys' death in Lord Denys' dungeon and [[Rhaegar Targaryen|Prince Rhaegar's]] ascent to the throne would not have spared the [[Seven Kingdoms]] a lot of grief.{{Ref|aDwD|55}}

The Defiance of Duskendale marked the beginning of Aerys' descent into madness. Deeply shaken by his imprisonment, he refused to leave the [[Red Keep]] for many years afterward. His jealous and suspicious nature deepened into paranoia and eventually outright delusions, seeing evidence of treachery everywhere. The king no longer trusted his wife or his heir, and especially not his Hand, all of whom he perceived as having gladly abandoned him to rot away in Duskendale. Hearing word of [[Varys]]' talents as an information broker from across the [[Narrow Sea]], he appointed the eunuch his Master of Whispers, believing that only a foreigner with no competing loyalties in [[Westeros]] could be trusted to alert him of potential threats. Aerys grew brutal, capricious and increasingly fascinated with fire, especially the highly flammable substance known as [[wildfire]]. Aerys began to use wildfire for executing alleged traitors. The procedures aroused him and, while he and his wife had slept in separate chambers for some years and avoided each other by day as well, Aerys would always claim his marriage rights after such an execution by fire, brutally abusing his wife in bed.{{Ref|aFfC|16}}

Aerys' relations with Lord Tywin deteriorated rapidly. According to Ser Barristan Selmy's account decades later, the situation was exacerbated by Aerys' well-known lust for Tywin's wife, [[Joanna Lannister]]. Although Tywin had continued to hope for a marriage between Cersei and Prince Rhaegar after Aerys' insult at Lannisport, two years later Aerys chose to tie [[Dorne]] more closely to the [[Iron Throne]] by marrying Rhaegar to [[Elia Martell]]. Later, Aerys appointed Tywin's eldest (and [[Tyrion Lannister|only able-bodied]]) son [[Jaime Lannister|Jaime]] as the youngest knight ever to join the Kingsguard. Both Tywin and Jaime came to believe that Aerys had intended this not as an honor but a slight to [[House Lannister]], meant to deprive Tywin of his heir and allow Aerys to hold Jaime hostage for his father's loyalty. Furious, Tywin found a thin pretext to resign his position and returned to Casterly Rock. Aerys appointed as his replacement Lord [[Owen Merryweather]], an amiable but not especially competent old man whose main qualifications as Hand were his willingness to throw lavish feasts and offer the king constant flattery.

==The War of the Usurper==
:{{See also|War of the Usurper}}
Aerys' distrust eventually turned against his own son, [[Rhaegar Targaryen|Prince Rhaegar]], who had become wary of his father's behavior.{{Ref|aDwD|24}} The first time Aerys finally left the [[Red Keep]] again would be to attend the [[Tourney at Harrenhal]] in {{Date|281}}. He did so only at the urging of [[Varys]], who claimed Prince Rhaegar planned to use the [[Tourneys in Westeros|tournament]] as a pretext to recruit lords with the intent of taking his father's throne.{{Ref|aDwD|67}} A [[mystery knight]], the [[Knight of the Laughing Tree]], competed in the tournament. Certain the knight had concealed his identity because he was an enemy of the crown, Aerys ordered Rhaegar to discover his identity, but no evidence was found. Rhaegar went on to win the tournament and shocked all present by crowning [[Lyanna Stark]], rather than [[Elia Martell|Princess Elia]], his [[Queen of Love and Beauty]].

Some time afterward, Prince Rhaegar disappeared with Lyanna, apparently having kidnapped her. Her eldest brother [[Brandon Stark|Brandon]] rode to King's Landing with several friends. Arriving at the Red Keep, Brandon roared for Rhaegar to "come out and die." As it turned out, Rhaegar was not present – but Aerys was. The king had Brandon and his companions arrested on charges of conspiring against the life of the crown prince, demanding that their fathers present themselves at court to answer for their sons' crimes. When they did so, Aerys had them all executed without trial. Lord [[Rickard Stark]] was burned alive by wildfire as Brandon watched, strapped into a torture device that caused him to strangle himself in his struggles to save his father. His paranoia still unsatisfied, the king ordered Lord [[Jon Arryn]] to send him the heads of his two wards, [[Eddard Stark]] and Lyanna's fiance [[Robert Baratheon]], both of whom he believed to be guilty of participating in the "conspiracy" on account of their ties with [[House Stark]]. Arryn refused, and the king's brutal acts triggered a chain of events that would become known as the [[War of the Usurper]] to Targaryen loyalists and [[Robert's Rebellion]] to those who fought on the other side. [[House Arryn]], House Stark, [[House Baratheon]] and [[House Tully]] all rebelled against the [[Iron Throne]], uniting behind the claim of Robert Baratheon, who was descended from royal blood through his grandmother [[Rhaelle Targaryen]], the king's aunt.

Aerys' [[Hand of the King|Hand]] at the start of the rebellion was still [[Owen Merryweather]], but he was quickly replaced for his failure to act to contain the unrest in its early stages. Aerys next turned to Lord [[Jon Connington]], a close friend of Rhaegar's, who promised him to deliver Robert's head. However, Connington lost to rebel forces at [[Stoney Sept]] in the [[Battle of the Bells]] and was exiled by Aerys because of it. As his new Hand, Aerys chose Lord [[Qarlton Chelsted]].{{Ref|aDwD|Epilogue}} By this point, the king was becoming fearful of a rebel victory, and hatched the [[The Wildfire Plot]], a plan to gain a final revenge against his enemies in the event that they took the capital. He ordered pyromancers to create a massive reserve of wildfire and secrete it around [[King's Landing]], plotting to burn down the entire city and kill all its half a million inhabitants rather than allow Robert to have it intact. Upon discovering the plot, Lord Chelsted confronted Aerys and, when he realized the king could not be dissuaded, resigned his positon in disgust, flinging his chain of office at the king's feet. Aerys had him burned alive. The [[Alchemists' Guild]] had enjoyed royal favor ever since the Defiance of Duskendale owing to the king's obsession with wildfire, and Aerys appointed the head of the guild, [[Rossart]], his final Hand.

After the [[Battle of the Trident]], in which Prince [[Rhaegar]] was slain and the royal army defeated, a rebel victory was all but certain. Aerys sent Queen Rhaella (then newly pregnant with Princess Daenerys) and Prince Viserys to [[Dragonstone]] to escape the coming [[Sack of King's Landing]]. However, he kept Princess Elia and her young children [[Rhaenys Targaryen (daughter of Rhaegar)|Rhaenys]] and [[Aegon Targaryen|Aegon]] with him at the Red Keep, believing they were necessary as hostages to ensure the loyalty of [[House Martell]] and [[Dorne]]. This decision would ultimately lead to their brutal deaths at the hands of Ser [[Amory Lorch]] and Ser [[Gregor Clegane]].

==Death==
Hours before the vanguard of [[Eddard Stark]]'s rebel host would arrive, 12,000 [[The Westerlands|Westerland]] troops under Tywin Lannister reached King's Landing and pledged their loyalty to King Aerys. [[Varys]] advised the king not to admit them to the city, but Grand [[Maester]] [[Pycelle]] argued that the Lannisters should be trusted. Aerys made the fateful choice to listen to Pycelle, and opened the city gates. The Lannister forces promptly began [[Sack of King's Landing|sacking the city]] in the name of [[Robert Baratheon|King Robert]].

Realizing this was the end, Aerys summoned Lord Rossart and Ser [[Jaime Lannister]], the last remaining Kingsguard [[Knighthood|knight]]. He commanded Ser Jaime to kill his father, then gave Rossart the long-awaited order to ignite the wildfire caches and burn the city to the ground, saying, "Let [Robert] be king over charred bones and cooked meat. Let him be king of ashes."

Jaime later suggested that much like his mad great-uncle [[Aerion Targaryen|Aerion the Monstrous]] before him, Aerys held the delusional belief that he would not die in the inferno, but rather would be transformed by the flames into a [[Dragons|dragon]], giving him the power to crush his enemies.

However, before the plot could be carried out, Jaime slew Lord Rossart and then King Aerys, preventing the orders from reaching anyone else and thus saving the entire population of King's Landing. Robert Baratheon claimed the Iron Throne, and the reign of the Targaryen dynasty was ended. {{Ref|aGoT|3}}

==Quotes about Aerys==

{{Quote|Aerys was dead on the floor, drowned in his own blood. His dragon skulls stared down from the walls. Lannister’s men were everywhere. [[Jaime Lannister|Jaime]] wore the white cloak of the Kingsguard over his golden armor. I can see him still. Even his sword was gilded. He was seated on the Iron Throne, high above his knights, wearing a helm fashioned in the shape of a lion’s head. How he glittered! {{Ref|agot|12}}}}

{{Quote|''Aerys was mad, the whole realm knew it.''}} - [[Catelyn Stark]] {{Ref|aCoK|55}}

{{Quote|''Aerys was mad and cruel, no one has ever denied that''.}} - [[Brienne of Tarth]] {{Ref|aSoS|11}}

{{Quote|''Those [[purple eyes]] grew huge then, and the royal mouth drooped open in shock. He lost control of his bowels, turned and ran for the [[Iron Throne]]. Beneath the empty eyes of the skulls, Jaime hauled the last dragonking bodily off the steps, squealing like a pig and smelling like a privy. A single slash across his throat was all it took to end it.'' So easy, ''he remembered thinking''. A king should die harder than this.}} - [[Jaime Lannister]] remembering Aerys's death at his hands. {{Ref|aSoS|11}}

When the head of Admiral [[Groleo]] is presented in the court of [[Daenerys Targaryen|Aerys's daughter]] in [[Meereen]], [[Barristan Selmy]] thinks on how Aerys would have reacted to such an insult:

{{Quote|Aerys would have flinched away in horror, likely cutting himself on the barbs of the Iron Throne, then shrieked at his swordsmen to cut the Yunkishmen to pieces.}} {{Ref|aDwD|59}}

==Genealogy==
{{Template:Targaryen_tree_now}}

==TV series==
The [[Game of Thrones]] TV series deviated from the books by removing Aerys's father [[Jaehaerys II Targaryen]] and making him son of King [[Aegon V Targaryen]], rather than his grandson. The reason for this appears to be to simplify the relationship between Maester Aemon and the other Targaryens.

Additionally, an actor was cast to play Aerys II in a flashback in [[Game of Thrones - Season 1|Season 1]], but the scene was cut for time and pacing.

'''Jaehaerys II''' was King of the [[Seven Kingdoms]] and the sixteenth [[Targaryen]] to sit the [[Iron Throne]]. He was the father of [[Aerys II]] and grandfather of [[Daenerys]].

==Appearance==
Jaehaerys was sickly looking, pale and frail with large [[purple eyes]] and shoulder length hair. He wore Maekar's crown.<ref> Targaryen Kings, (November 1, 2005) [http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Category/C91/ So Spake Martin]</ref>

==History==
He was an amiable, clever, and sickly man who died young.<ref>[http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/Targaryen_Kings/Archived part of correspondence] between [[Amoka]] and George R.R. Martin about the Targaryen kings</ref>

He was the second son of [[Aegon V Targaryen|Aegon V]]. Like his brothers, he married for love, refusing an arranged marriage. He, however, commanded his son [[Aerys II Targaryen]] and daughter [[Rhaella Targaryen|Rhaella]] to marry each other.

A [[Ghost of High Heart|woods witch]] brought to court by [[Jenny of Oldstones]], prophesied that the [[prince that was promised]] would be born from their line.<ref name="Prophecy">[http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/A_Dance_with_Dragons (A Dance with Dragons, Daenerys IV)]</ref> Their first born child, [[Rhaegar Targaryen|Rhaegar]], was born in the year {{Date|259}}, on the very same day that the [[Tragedy at Summerhall]] took place.

Due to his delicate health, Jaehaerys was considered weak by many, but Ser [[Barristan]], who served him, thought differently. Jaehaerys' reign only lasted three years, but he reigned well in those short years.

'''Jaime Lannister''', known as the '''Kingslayer''', 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]].

==Character and Appearance ==
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."{{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: gold-plated, with a lion's-head helm at other times.

Early in the series, Jaime comes across as arrogant, amoral, and dishonorable, behavioural traits similar to his sister twin [[Cersei]]. However, he is changed by his imprisonment and prolonged exposure to [[Brienne]]'s stubborn adherence to a code of honour. He sees his adversity as a blank page for him to write a new history, jokingly thinking to himself he might become Gold Hand the Good and noting "this is what justice feels like" even when doling it out to men in Lannister colours.

Because he 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 Kingsgaurd vows, but when they conflict, he chooses a course of action and follows it to its conclusion, no matter the consequence.  More images can be found
[[:Category:Images of Jaime Lannister|here]].

==History==
===Early Years===
Jaime is the eldest son of Lady [[Joanna Lannister|Joanna]] and [[Tywin Lannister|Lord Tywin]] Lannister, head of [[House Lannister]], the richest man in the Seven Kingdoms and Lord Paramount 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 age nine, he 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===
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 [[Knighthood|knighted]] on the battlefield by Ser [[Arthur Dayne]].{{Ref|aSoS|11}}

On his return to [[Casterly Rock]], he 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, [[Aerys II Targaryen|King Aerys]] soured the honor by sending him back to King's Landing to guard [[Rhaella Targaryen|Queen Rhaella]] and [[Viserys Targaryen|Prince Viserys]], depriving him of the chance to participate in [[House Whent|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 and returned with Cersei to Casterly Rock. Jaime remained at court, guarding the King.{{Ref|aSoS|11}}

===Kingsguard===
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}} He 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", advice he would later pass on to [[Brienne]], when Vargo Hoat's men were considering raping her, and to his son, [[Tommen Baratheon|Tommen]] when the boy is upset by the smell of [[Tywin Lannister|Tywin]] rotting. He genuinely believes this advice, as a way to deal with a harsh reality and making an appalling task tolerable.{{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 [[The 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 of the King|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 the Handship. All the while, Jaime guarded the King, blankly observing the details of his plan and keeping his secrets.{{Ref|aSoS|37}}

When [[Rhaegar Targaryen|Prince Rhaegar]] 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. However, Rhaegar promised an angry and disappointed Jaime that changes would be made when he returned from the battlefield.{{Ref|aSoS|8}} But 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 [[Rhaella Targaryen|queen]] and son [[Viserys Targaryen]] sent to [[Dragonstone]].

===The Kingslayer===
[[File:Maureval_Kingslayer.jpg‎ ‎|The Kingslayer - by [http://maureval.deviantart.com/ Maureval ©]|thumb|250px|right]]
After the [[Battle of the Trident|Trident]], Lord [[Tywin Lannister|Tywin]] at last roused himself from [[Casterly Rock]] and called his banners. His main concerns were that his son was in [[Aerys II Targaryen|King Aerys']] 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 didn't 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 King'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}}

Jaime went to the throne room. On the way, he came across Rossart, who was dressed as a common soldier and hurrying to a postern gate. Jaime attacked him. Rossart tried to defend himself but stood no chance against the experienced knight. Jaime killed the pyromancer with his sword. He 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 apprehended him, hauling him 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}}

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 his sister 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 orphanded 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 wouldn't 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}}

[[File:Jaime and Bran HBO.jpg|300px|thumb|"The Things I do for love": Jaime Lannister pushing [[Bran Stark]] out a window. ([[Game of Thrones|TV series]])]]

===''A Game of Thrones''===

After the death of their foster-father [[Jon Arryn]], King Robert travels north to visit Ned Stark at [[Winterfell]] and persuade him to become Lord Arryn's successor as Hand of the King. Jaime himself is Jon's successor as [[Warden of the East]] rather than [[Robert Arryn]], who would have been the traditional appointee. The king is accompanied by much of the court, among them Jaime, Cersei, and their brother 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 Stark accepts King Robert's invitation to be Hand, and 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 Baratheon, they produced raven-haired children. Instead Cersei's children Joffrey, Myrcella, and Tommen are all fair-haired.{{Ref|aGoT|45}}

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}} Suspecting Cersei, Jaime her on this point - apparently putting Bran out of his misery had been discussed by Cersei and Robert in front of the children. 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 Northmen 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, 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 [[The North|Northern]] army steals a surprise march on Jaime, intent on relieving Riverrun. His men, flying 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 was lost, Jaime fought bravely to try and cut down Robb, managing to kill [[House Hornwood|Daryn Hornwood]] and the sons of Lord [[House Karstark|Rickard Karstark]] before he is captured.{{Ref|aGoT|63}} Afterwards, the Stark-Tully forces are able to best his own 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 Tully|Edmure]] transfers him to the dungeons. He is kept chained and malnourished.{{Ref|aCoK|39}} During this period Cersei takes their cousin [[Lancel Lannister|Lancel]] 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 declines this exchange. Distraught at the news of the alleged deaths of her sons [[Bran]] and [[Rickon Stark|Rickon]], Catelyn interrogates Jaime. {{Ref|aCoK|45}}

===''A Storm of Swords''===

[[Catelyn]], 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 Catelyns'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 decided to shave his head so his golden locks would not be recognized, although he kept the beard. The trio evade recapture by Ser [[Robin Ryger]] and his party from Riverrun, through Brienne's ingenious tactic of dropping boulders onto the chasing boat.{{Ref|aSoS|1}} Jaime approves of Brienne's decision to ignore the travel advice of the "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 - he is mourned by none. 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 had betrayed Lord Tywin and shifted allegiance to the newly-crowned King [[Robb]].

[[File:Jaime Lannister.jpg|thumb|right|Jaime Lannister portrayed by Nikolaj Coster-Waldau in the HBO series]]
Vargo Hoat 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 alliance to [[House Tyrell]]. To prevent this he orders [[Zollo|one of his men]] to chop Jaime's sword hand off, thinking that the blame will fall on Bolton.{{Ref|aSoS|21}}

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.

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 Aerys's [[The Wildfire Plot|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 [[Nameday|name day]], looking half a corpse and half a god."''{{Ref|aFfC|9}}}}

Later, at dinner, Lord Bolton 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}}

Bolton leaves to join King [[Robb]] and Walton begins the journey to King's Landing with Jaime and the 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}}

As the party arrives at the castle in King's Landing they run into 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 [[Great Sept of Baelor]] to see Cersei. Cersei is mourning for their son Joffrey, who has died, and 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 is changed by his experiences. Tywin gives him a [[Oathkeeper|Valaryian steel blade]], crafted out of [[Ned]]'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 [[Ned Stark]]'s own steel. Ensuring that she is equally well provisioned by providing her with gold, a horse and armour, he also provides a letter sealed and signed by [[Tommen]], 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]] of his murder. When both trial by words and 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 in fact a [[whore]] hired by Jaime. Their father had the girl raped by his soldiers and by [[Tyrion]] himself to teach them a lesson. But in fact Tysha was the [[croft]]er'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'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 Lannister|Tywin's]] private chambers and kills him.{{Ref|aSoS|77}}

===''A Feast for Crows''===

Following the murder of his father by his brother Tyrion, Jaime remains in [[King's Landing]] and stands vigil over Tywin. During the night, Cersei comes to him and pleads for him to become the King's Hand. He refuses and Cersei leaves angrily, stating she was a fool for ever having loved him.{{Ref|aFfC|3}}

By his suggestion,{{Ref|aFfC|8}} Tommen and [[Margaery Tyrell]] are married, therefore releasing [[Mace Tyrell]] 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 [[Kevan Lannister|Kevan]] and his sister Cersei. He attempts to give his best counsel to both, as well as to his [[Kingsguard]] subject Ser [[Loras Tyrell]].{{Ref|aFfC|16}}

Following the funeral, Cersei commands him to leave King's Landing with the intention of lifting the siege on [[Riverrun]]. Jaime accepts, on the condition that he is allowed to bring the King's Justice, Ser [[Ilyn Payne]]. The castle is held by Ser [[Brynden Tully|Brynden the Blackfish]], and is one of the last strongholds still loyal to the late King [[Robb]]. Before he departs the city he has an armorer forge him a hand he can strap to his stump. The new hand is made of solid gold with mother of pearl fingernails, it is sturdy and allows Jaime to strap a shield (clumsily) to his right hand.

Jaime also takes with him [[Lewys Piper]] and [[Garrett Paege]], who were made his squires/hostages (both of their families fought for [[House Stark]]). [[Josmyn Peckledon]] also became another squire for Jaime as a reward for his bravery in the [[Battle of the Blackwater]].

During the journey, Jaime spars with [[Ilyn Payne]] 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 Ser Ronnet and [[Gregor Clegane]]'s men-at-arms he charges Ser Ronnet to lead them to escort [[Wylis Manderly]] 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}}

Soon after, Jaime arrives at Riverrun. 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 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 as soon as [[Roslin Frey|his Frey wife]] gives birth - with a catapult.{{Ref|aFfC|38}} Edmure decides to yield the castle and is 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}}

[[File:Jaime_beard.jpg|Jaime - by [http://pojypojy.deviantart.com/ Pojypojy ©]|thumb|200px|right]]
Jaime arrives at [[Raventree Hall]], the last holdout of [[Robb Stark]]'s supporters. The Hall 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]]. Bracken 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]].

He then treats with [[Tytos Blackwood]]. Lord Tytos 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, Blackwood 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 Bracken 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}}

'''Roose Bolton''' is the head of [[House Bolton]] and Lord of the [[Dreadfort]]. He receives regular leechings, which he believes to improve his health, prompting some to call him '''"The Leech Lord"'''.

==Character and Appearance==
[[File: NotanerArt_Roose_Bolton.jpg‎|Roose Bolton - © Sardag|thumb|250px|right]]
Roose though mild-mannered is cold, patient, calculating, and capable of great cruelty. Possessing a cold cunning, a skill for strategy and a calculating nature. His body is "soft hairless".{{ref|aCoK|64}} He is of average size and is "not handsome but not quite plain", with his only noticeable feature being his eerie eyes, which are as pale and strange as two white moons, to [[Jaime]] they are paler than stone, darker than milk. {{Ref|aDwD|32}}{{Ref|aCoK|47}} He has short, strong fingers.{{Ref|aSoS|51}} His skin is pasty white, most likely due to the leechings.{{Ref|aSoS|3}} See also [[:Category:Images of Roose Bolton|this collection of images]]. His voice is spider soft, he speaks softly never raising his voice, forcing those who listen to do so intently. When Roose Bolton speaks silence often descends.{{Ref|aSoS|3}}

A collared and chained [[Theon Greyjoy]] in his persona of ''Reek'' contemplated Roose Bolton:

{{Quote|His face was clean shaved, smooth skinned, ordinary, not handsome but not quite plain. Though Roose had been in battles, he bore no scars. Though well past forty, he was as yet unwrinkled, with scarce a line to tell of the passage of time. His lips were so thin that when he pressed them together they seem to vanish altogether.
There was an agelessness to about him, a stillness; on Roose Bolton’s face, rage and joy looked much the same. All he and Ramsay had in common were their eyes. ''His eyes are ice''. Reek wondered if he ever cried. ''If so, do the tears feel cold upon his cheeks?''

Once, a boy called [[Theon Greyjoy]] had enjoyed tweaking Bolton as they sat at council with [[Robb Stark]], mocking his soft voice and making japes about leeches. ''He must have been mad. This is no man to jape with.'' You had only to look at Bolton to know that he had more cruelty in his pinky toe than all the [[Frey]]s combined.}}

==History==
Roose Bolton practices the banned and now illegal tradition of the [[First Night]] privilege. {{Ref|aDwD|34}} He is however extremely discreet with his activities in order to avoid the attention and possible ire of [[House Stark]].

Lord Roose fought at the [[Battle of the Trident]] during [[Robert's Rebellion]]. When Ser [[Barristan Selmy]], seriously wounded, was brought before [[Robert Baratheon]], Roose counselled that they should kill him. Robert ignored Roose and spared Ser Barristan's life, sending his own [[maester]] to tend to his wounds.{{Ref|aGoT|33}}

Just before the [[War of the Five Kings]], Roose's trueborn son [[Domeric Bolton]], the only one who survived the cradle, died of a "bad belly." Having no other trueborn heirs, Roose then brought his [[bastardy|bastard]] son [[Ramsay Snow]] to the Dreadfort and made him his unofficial heir.

==Recent Events==
===''A Game of Thrones''===
Bolton answers his liege's call when [[Robb Stark]] summons his banners to aid his grandfather [[Hoster Tully]] and his father [[Eddard Stark|Lord Eddard]]. Due to his calculating caution, Bolton receives command of the host sent to distract Lord [[Tywin Lannister]], consisting of all the northern foot and some of the horse. He marches through the night and launches a [[Battle of the Green Fork|surprise attack]] in the early morning, but is defeated by Lord Tywin.{{Ref|aGoT|62}} However, he retreats in good order, reforming the battered remnants of his army on the causeway before [[Moat Cailin]].{{Ref|aGoT|71}}

===''A Clash of Kings''===
[[File:Roose tvseries.jpg|230px|thumb|Roose Bolton in the TV series.]]

During the war Roose marries his third wife, [[Fat Walda Frey|Walda Frey]], granddaughter of [[Lord Walder Frey]], who has allied his house to [[Robb Stark|Robb]]'s. In an effort to limit Lord [[Tywin Lannister]]'s options, who marched from Harrenhal in an attempt to meet Robb Stark in the Westerlands, Ser [[Edmure Tully]] commands Roose to join up with Ser [[Helman Tallhart]] coming down from [[the Twins]] and to retake [[Harrenhal]].{{Ref|aCoK|39}}

Hoping to take Harrenhal without weakening his army, Roose makes a deal with [[Vargo Hoat]], leader of the [[Brave Companions]], unsavory sellswords in the employ of Lord Tywin. The Companions pretend to take a group of Bolton's men prisoner that then seized the castle, taking out the small [[House Lannister|Lannister]] garrison left behind and opening the gates to the rest of Bolton's men. This was done with the aid of an incognito [[Arya Stark]] and the assassin [[Jaqen H'ghar]]. While at Harrenhal, Roose takes Arya as his cupbearer, mistaking her for a commoner.{{Ref|aCoK|47}} After Winterfell's [[Battle of Winterfell|fall]] to [[Theon Greyjoy]] and Lord Tywin's victory in the [[Battle of the Blackwater]], relations between Vargo Hoat and Roose become strained as Vargo suspects that Roose would turn on Robb Stark to support the Lannisters. In the meantime, Roose's bastard son [[Ramsay Snow]] has married and killed [[Donella Hornwood]] and taken her lands. Ramsay goes on to betray the other northmen and [[Sack of Winterfell|seize]] Winterfell from Theon.

===''A Storm of Swords''===
After the Brave Companions take [[Jaime Lannister]] hostage, Vargo has Jaime's sword-hand cut off to drive a wedge between Roose and [[Tywin Lannister|Tywin]]. The ploy did not work however, as Roose receives Jaime's assurance that he would not be held responsible for Jaime's injury. Before leaving, Roose tells Jaime to give his regards to Lord Tywin; Jaime responds that Roose should give his regards to Robb Stark.{{Ref|aSoS|31}}

Robb summons Roose to aid in retaking [[the North]] from the [[ironborn]]. However, Roose has decided that the Stark cause is lost and is already plotting with Tywin, Walder Frey, and his acknowledged son Ramsay to bring them down. He sends a full third of the northern infantry (including none of his own troops) to [[Battle of Duskendale|attack Duskendale]], knowing they would be massacred by the joint [[Lannister]] / [[House Tyrell|Tyrell]] forces. On the march to [[the Twins]], Roose takes his time when crossing the Trident and allows his rearguard to be [[Battle of the Ruby Ford|ambushed]] by [[Gregor Clegane]]. On the other side, he leaves the Stark loyalists to guard the river, taking only Dreadfort and [[Karhold]] men with him; the latter still incensed by Robb's execution of their lord [[Rickard Karstark|Rickard]]. {{Ref|ASOS|49}}

During the [[Red Wedding]], Roose mumbles an excuse to get out of the hall. The bedding and playing of "[[The Rains of Castamere]]" is the signal for the Freys to attack their guests. Roose returns into the hall dressed in mail armor. [[Robb Stark|Robb]] has already been wounded by arrows. Roose approaches him and kills him while saying:

{{Quote|''Jaime Lannister sends his regards.'' {{Ref|ASOS|51}}}}

[[File:RooseBoltonbyWouterBruneel.jpg|270px|thumb|Roose Bolton by [http://www.wbruneel.com/IllustrationPortfolio.html Wouter Bruneel].]]

Outside the castle, the Frey and Bolton soldiers attack their fellow northern / riverland forces and annihilate them. For this service, [[Tywin Lannister|Tywin]] gives Roose the title of [[Warden of the North]] and raises House Bolton's status to the principal house of the north and one of the ruling families of Westeros. Roose also receives a royal decree of legitimization for his bastard son and heir Ramsay Snow, now [[Ramsay Bolton]].

===''A Feast for Crows''===
[[File:The_leech_lord_by_acazigot-d4b9yh1.jpg|250px|thumb|Roose Bolton by acazigot©]]
Lord Roose marches north with his own forces from the Twins, augmented by two thousand Freys under the command of Ser [[Aenys Frey]] and Ser [[Hosteen Frey]].{{Ref|AFFC|16}}

===''A Dance with Dragons''===
After [[Moat Cailin]] surrenders to Ramsay thanks to a browbeaten [[Theon Greyjoy]], Roose meets his son and introduces him to his bride "Arya Stark" (actually [[Jeyne Poole]]). Roose is greatly displeased by his son's actions, stating as much to Theon. Roose thinks that Ramsay is too loud and obnoxious.{{Ref|aDwD|32}}

Upon arriving at [[Winterfell]], Roose finds the ruined castle now a refuge of more then two dozen squatters. When he tells them he will be merciful if they serve well, they are used for a labour force in rebuilding Winterfell. After the work is completed Roose has them all hanged; true to his word he is merciful and does not flay a one.

At Ramsay's wedding feast, Roose does not eat any of the food or drink served to him unless he sees [[Wyman Manderly]], who brought the food, eat of the same dish.

Despite being named Warden of the North, Roose's support among the northern lords is grudging. The first to declare for him are the [[House Dustin|Dustins]] and [[House Ryswell|Ryswells]], to whom he is related in the female line. The faction of [[House Umber]] led by [[Hother Umber|Hother Whoresbane]] declares for him since the [[Greatjon]] is in Frey captivity, and the [[House Cerwyn|Cerwyns]], [[House Locke|Lockes]], and [[House Manderly|Manderlys]] send men as well. [[Arnolf Karstark]], the Karhold castellan who publicly declared for Stannis, is secretly in league with Roose and awaits the moment to turn his cloak.

Roose, Ramsay and his army remain at Winterfell awaiting the [[Siege of Winterfell|attack]] of [[Stannis Baratheon]]'s host. Several Bolton men are murdered during the wait, and suspicion is cast on several of the present Stark bannermen.<ref>[[A Dance with Dragons]], [[A Ghost in Winterfell (A Dance with Dragons)|A Ghost in Winterfell]]</ref> In truth, however, [[Mance Rayder]] and several [[wildling]] spearwives on a mission to free [[Arya Stark]] commit the murders.<ref>[[A Dance with Dragons]], [[Theon I (A Dance with Dragons)|Theon I]]</ref> The murders raise tensions within the castle. Tempers flare when Lord Manderly insults one of the dead [[House Frey|Freys]]; a clash ensues that leads to the deaths of several men-at-arms.

===''The Winds of Winter''===
After learning that Stannis' army is three days march from Winterfell, Roose sends out the [[House Frey|Freys]] and [[House Manderly|Manderlys]], as well as Ramsay and his men, but keeps much of his own strength behind in [[Winterfell]]. According to [[Theon Greyjoy]], Roose is keeping his own men back as a reserve, as he once did in the Riverlands, to weaken potential rivals.<ref>[http://georgerrmartin.com/if-sample.html ''The Winds of Winter'', Theon's sample chapter], made available on GRRM's website as of Dec 28th, 2011</ref>

Timeline of major events

2013-08-21T09:00:44Z

Joramun king:

The '''Timeline of major events''' attempts to lay out the most important points in the history of [[Westeros]] and [[Essos]], based on dates and information given in the novels and supporting material. See also: a thorough [[Years after Aegon's Landing|listing of events]] after Aegon's Landing.

According to tradition, the known history of Westeros extends back over 12,500 years. However, the oldest historic recounts in [[Westeros]] were only written after the [[Andal Invasion|Andals arrival]] to the continent, as the [[First Men]] only used runes for carving on stone. Everything written about the [[Age of Heroes]], the [[Dawn Age]], and the [[The Long Night|Long Night]] originates from stories written down by [[Faith of the Seven|septons]] thousands of years later. The accuracy of the legends and myths that recount much of this history is openly questioned by the [[maesters]] of the Citadel, amongst others.

=Timeline=
All dates are in relation to the Landing of [[Aegon the Conqueror]], using negative numbers for events before [[Aegon's Landing]]. Note, that 'ca' is an abbreviation for the Latin word 'circa', meaning around, or approximately.

==[[Dawn Age|The Dawn Age]]==
{| class="wikitable"
|width=85px|Prehistory
| '''Before the coming of men''': The lands of [[Westeros]] are inhabited by a mysterious race of diminutive humanoid creatures known as the [[children of the forest]], [[giants]] and other magical [[Beastiary|creatures]].
|-
| ca.-12,000
| '''The [[First Men]] invade Westeros''': A human ethnic group, the First Men, invades Westeros across the land-bridge from the [[Essos|east]], bearing weapons of bronze. In a futile attempt to end the invasion, the children use magic to shatter that land-bridge, creating the island chain known as the [[Stepstones]]. However, the First Men are able to reinforce by ship, leading to generations of warfare over the land.

The First men are more numerous, larger, stronger, and more technologically advanced than the children, who try to resist the invaders using their magic. It proves unsuccessful, however: the First Men gradually push deeper and deeper into Westeros, establishing hundreds of petty kingdoms.
|-
| ca.-10,000
| '''Signing of the [[Pact]]''': After years of warfare, the First Men and children of the forest come to a standstill and finally agree to a peaceful coexistence, signing the pact of The Isle of Faces. This pact gives the First Men dominion over the open lands and lets the children keep control over the forested areas. In time, the First Men adopt the worship of the [[old gods|Old Gods of the Forest]].
|}

==[[Age of Heroes|The Age of Heroes]]==
{| class="wikitable"
|width=85px| ca.-10,000
| '''Age of Heroes''': An era during the history of [[Westeros]], which would be named so later for the great men and women who live in the years of peace and prosperity following the forging of the [[Pact]]. The Pact endures for nearly four thousand years, and in that time, the children of the forest and the First Men grow closer. In time, the First Men set aside many of their cultural differences to embrace the ways and customs of the children of the forest. With the exception of the [[Drowned God]] of the [[Iron Islands]], the [[Old Gods|gods of the children]] become those of the First Men.

Many of the noble houses of Westeros today trace their lineage back to the Age of Heroes. This was the time when grand historical figures are said to have lived, such as [[Brandon the Builder]], founder of [[House Stark]]; [[Lann the Clever]], who winkled Casterly Rock from the Casterlys, founder of House Lannister; or [[Garth Greenhand]], founder of House Gardener of the Reach. Also during this era the Storm Kings arise in the stormlands: a line with figures such as the founding [[Durran]], supposed builder of [[Storm's End]], first king of the [[Iron Islands]]; and the [[Grey King]].
|-
| ca.-8,000
|'''The [[The Long Night|Long Night]]''': In this time, night seems to last for a generation, and the longest, coldest and darkest winter descends on Westeros. The ice spreads down from the north, and under the cover of darkness, the [[Others]] invade Westeros from the [[Lands of Always Winter|uttermost north]], marching, killing and raising up the dead to be their [[Wight|servants]] in unlife and nearly destroying all men in Westeros. The Long Night comes to an end following the [[The Long Night#War for the Dawn|Battle of the Dawn]], after the children and the First Men rose united to defeat the Others, with [[dragonglass]] weapons, pushing them back into the frozen reaches of the Far North. They are led by a great hero, who, in an eastern tradition, is named [[Azor Ahai]], and wields a great sword of fire, [[Lightbringer]].<hr>

'''Founding of [[the Wall]]''': With the Others defeated, [[Bran the Builder]], with the aid of the giants, the First Men, and perhaps the children of the forest, raise up the Wall: a monumental fortification of ice and ancient [[magic]], to shelter the realms of men from the menaces of the north. The Sworn Brotherhood of the [[Night's Watch]] is formed to man and guard it.
It's said that [[Bran the Builder]] built [[Winterfell]] and became the first [[King In The North]].<hr>

'''The [[Night's King]]''': Not long after the Wall is complete, the thirteenth [[Lord Commander of the Night's Watch|Lord Commander]] of the Night's Watch betrays his oath. He is seduced by a [[wight]] woman from beyond the Wall: declares himself the Night's King and rises in rebellion with the Watch as his personal army. During the dark years of his reign, horrific atrocities are committed, of which tales would be told in the [[North]] even after several millenia. The [[House Stark|Starks]] of [[Winterfell]] and the [[King-Beyond-the-Wall|King Beyond the Wall]], [[Joramun]], join forces to defeat the Night's King and thus restore honor to the Watch. This is the same Joramun who also finds the [[Horn of Winter]], which he is said to use to awaken [[giants]] from the earth.
|}

==[[Andal Invasion|The Andal Invasion]]==
{| class="wikitable"
|width=85px|ca.-6,000
| '''Foundation of the Faith''': In the [[Hills of Andalos]] on the eastern continent, [[Essos]], a new religion takes shape, called the [[Faith of the Seven]]. Supposedly, the supreme deity of the [[Andals]] appears to them, guiding them into their invasion of [[Westeros]].<hr>

'''The [[Andal Invasion]]''': The [[Andal]]s cross the [[Narrow Sea]] making landfall on its eastern shore, on what would one day become the [[Vale of Arryn]]. They come under the banner of the [[Faith of the Seven]], with seven-pointed stars carved into their chests, wielding [[Armament|weapons]] of steel. They fight both the First Men and the children of the forest, sweeping the land much like the First Men did thousands of years before.

For centuries the Andals war with the First Men and the children in an attempt to drive them out. One by one, the six southron kingdoms fall and the [[weirwood]]s are burned. Only the Kingdom of the North remains under the rule of the First Men, in large part due to the strategically located fortress of [[Moat Cailin]] resisting multiple attempts to take it and thereafter serving as the door between North and South. Even though the North remain secure, the children of the forest begin their slow withdrawal from the lands of men, retreating deeper into their forests and [[beyond the Wall|North of the Wall]].
|-
|width=85px|ca.-4,000
| The [[Iron Islands]] fall to the Andals, ending the first line of kings ruling there uncontested for over a thousand years, originating from [[Urron Greyiron|Urron Redhand]]. Unlike in the other regions, however, Andals are assimilated to the native beliefs of the [[Old Way]] and the [[Drowned God]].
|}

==[[Valyrian Freehold|Age of Valyria]] ==
{| class="wikitable"

| '''Rise of the [[Valyrian Freehold]]''': On the [[Essos|eastern continent]], the peaceful sheep-herding folk of the [[Valyrian peninsula]] find [[dragon]]s lairing in the [[Fourteen Fires]], an immense chain of volcanoes extending across the neck of the peninsula. The Valyrians tame the dragons with [[magic]], which gives them the means to gain influence over the area. The Valyrian Freehold is established. In its capital, [[Valyria]], magic flourishes, topless towers rise toward the heavens where dragons soar, stone sphinxes gaze down through eyes of garnet, and smiths forge swords of legendary strength and sharpness.<hr>

'''Conquest of Ghiscar''': Five great wars are fought between the [[Ghiscari Empire]], the greatest empire on the eastern peninsula, and the Freehold — wars which Valyria wins with the help of its dragons. After the last war, the Freehold utterly destroys the [[Old Ghis|Ghiscari capital]], slaying its people, destroying the city's walls and streets with dragonflame, and salting and sulphuring the fields. The Ghiscari empire shattered, the Valyrian Freehold expands its influence over the surviving Ghiscari cities of [[Slaver's Bay]].
|-
| ca.-700
| '''The [[Rhoynar Invasion]]''': With the destruction of Old Ghis, the Freehold's slow westward expansion brings it into conflict with the Rhoynish cities along the great River [[Rhoyne]], a vast waterway. Prince [[Garin (Prince)|Garin the Great]] raises an army a quarter-million strong to oppose the Valyrians, but fails utterly against their dragons.<hr>

Rhoynar evacuation: [[Nymeria]], a Rhoynish warrior-queen, evacuates the survivors of Garin's war, mostly women and children, on ten thousand ships across the [[Narrow Sea]], seeking refuge in [[Dorne]], in southern Westeros.
There, Nymeria forms a marriage alliance with Lord [[Mors Martell]] and together they finally organize the land into one kingdom, establishing [[House Martell]] as the ruling house of Dorne. Mors adopts many Rhoynish [[customs]]. The unification of Dorne under Nymeria and Mors leads to new conflicts with the kingdoms of the Reach and the Stormlands, expressed through raids, skirmishes, and the occasional wars over the centuries.
|-
| ca.-500
| The Valyrian Freehold conquers much of what would be the area of the southern [[Free Cities]]. A religious sect, the [[Moonsingers]], leads many thousand refugees north to a remote lagoon protected by mountains and mists, and there found the Secret City of [[Braavos]]. They later build the [[Titan of Braavos]], a great statue which also serves as a defensive fortification.
|-
| ca.-200
| The Valyrian Freehold annexes a [[Dragonstone|small island]] at the mouth of [[Blackwater Bay]], off the east coast of [[Westeros]]. The [[House Targaryen|Targaryens]], a Valyrian noble family, take control of the island building a castle whose tower is shaped to look like [[Dragon]]s, giving its name: [[Dragonstone]].
|-
| ca.-100
| '''The [[Doom of Valyria]]''': The nature of the Doom is unclear, save that heavy volcanic activity is involved, likely due to the Fourteen Fires, the mountains where the dragons were first discovered. The Valyrian Peninsula is shattered and the city of Valyria is laid waste, although not completely destroyed. The dragons of Valyria are virtually wiped out and the Valyrian Freehold crumbled apart, its various city states broke apart asserting their independence, surviving to this day as the [[Free Cities]] and the cities of [[Slaver's Bay]].<hr>

[[Braavos]] reveals itself to the other cities, eventually becoming the most powerful of them through its vast fleet and economic power. The cities of [[Slaver's Bay]] become independent again, although Ghiscari power begins building again in the south. The warrior-nomads of the vast [[Dothraki Sea|eastern plains]] become more emboldened by the fall of Valyria, and their dominant tribe, the [[Dothraki]], begins raiding the surrounding lands. The Targaryens remain safe on Dragonstone, the guardians of possibly the last three dragons in the western world.
