==Predecessor and Successor==
Hello Potsk,

I've seen you added a predecessor and successor module on the infobox for characters. I'm not opposed to it but I'm not a fan of the "eventually X succeed Y" stuff. I think we should use these modules for direct successions only. Have a good day. --[[User:Thomaerys Velaryon|Thomaerys Velaryon]] ([[User talk:Thomaerys Velaryon|talk]]) 12:53, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
:It is the most effective use for navigational purposes. --[[User:Potsk|Potsk]] ([[User talk:Potsk|talk]]) 12:55, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
::I absolutely agree with Thomaerys. It is confusing and "eventual predecessor" does not make any sense in my opinion. There are navigation boxes at the bottom of the page for navigational purposes. It is better to have a discussion about things like that with other editors before changing it on your own. [[User:The Wondering Wolf|The Wondering Wolf]] ([[User talk:The Wondering Wolf|talk]]) 13:09, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
:::Alright then, go ahead and remove them. --[[User:Potsk|Potsk]] ([[User talk:Potsk|talk]]) 06:53, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

==Images in infobox==
Potsk please see the the post on the use of images from shows https://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?/topic/34958-the-asoiaf-wiki-thread/&do=findComment&comment=8726606
In short the primary image should be book accurate show images are to be used only for a show subsection. This is why i removed the Mysaria image --[[User:Direpupy|Direpupy]]([[User talk:Direpupy|talk]])

==Dowager queen==
I do not agree that the title dowager queen makes the title queen in the infobox superfluous the are not the same title and a dowager has different rights and responsibilities, at least in the real world. Since they are two separate titles the should in my opinion be listed separately. -- [[User:Direpupy|Direpupy]]([[User talk:Direpupy|talk]])

Its a sum up of the titels used and held by the person which should be comprehensive, so omitting a title makes the list pointless. If we follow your reasoning then any prince of dragonstone who became king should also not have prince of dragonstone among there titels, but we list that for every single one of them because its a list of all titels held and used. -- [[User:Direpupy|Direpupy]]([[User talk:Direpupy|talk]])

==tv images==
To answer your question, the verdict was primary image (the one in the infobox) is to be bookbased only, if there is no bookbased image then no image should be used until there is a bookbased image. Tv image can be used lower down in a page but preverably they are only used in tv show page or a tv show subsection on a book page. The reasoning for this is that GRRM's description should be leading and the tv show is not bookcanon that includes the way the carakters look and also to prevent confusion on how a carakter looks.

==Rickon/Rickard Stark==
I know the captions for the trailer says "Rickard Stark" but personally I only hear "Rickon Stark" not "Rickard Stark". I think the character will keep its book name in ''House of the Dragon'' and there is simply a little mistake in the captions. What do you think ? --[[User:Thomaerys Velaryon|Thomaerys Velaryon]] ([[User talk:Thomaerys Velaryon|talk]]) 20:54, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
:I'm not sure. The Dragon Demands actually posted an outline of leaks on the GoT wiki a while back, where he said the scene where Rhaenyra is named Princess of Dragonstone would have characters such as Boremund Baratheon and "Rickard Stark", the latter of whom is the renamed Rickon Stark. Seems too much of a coincidence that the official subtitles would also put "Rickard" as a typo? Could just be his thick accent making it sound like "Rickon." It even took me a while to figure out he was saying "named heir" and not "nameday" [[User:Potsk|Potsk]] ([[User talk:Potsk|talk]]) 06:39, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

::I have not seen this leak outline you are talking about, I'll look it up if you can provid me a link. That being said it is not in the habit of the Wiki to edit stuff coming from leaks information. Listening to the trailer again in slow motion, the actor clearly says "Rickon", I'll trust the official trailer over leak information anyday. If new information comes to light in the future we can edit the article again but for now I'm deleting the "Rickard" sentence to avoid confusion. --[[User:Thomaerys Velaryon|Thomaerys Velaryon]] ([[User talk:Thomaerys Velaryon|talk]]) 15:40, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

As much as i understand your frustration none of the things you provided are definitive proof, all we are asking is that you wait until there is proof that is not based on secondary courses. Also its not a registered trademark its an application, that is not the same thing, productions regularly apply for trademarks they never intend to use. there are also stories of the captions being in error as pointed out to you in the discussion above. so i agree with Thomaerys Velaryon just wait for the show to come out and then make the change to the page if need be, its only three weeks more to wait.

==Wiki improvement==
Hello Potsk,
Why did you rescind my edits? Didn't somebody say that he wants to make this site resemble the Lord of the Rings Wiki or something? My adjustments were doing something like that. And there should be a section on the series involvement, don't you think? --[[User:Westeroslorenerd|Westeroslorenerd]]

:You copied and pasted text from the Game of Thrones wiki, even being so sloppy as to include the reference numbers. That is lazy plagiarism, not a "wiki improvement." --[[User:Potsk|Potsk]] ([[User talk:Potsk|talk]]) 03:53, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

Hey, I know almost everything (Linking, making words bold) besides making new category pages in here. Let me restore the narration History and Lore pages without your interference. And could you tell me how to make words italic again. I forgot that.
:Your [https://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?title=Robb_Stark&curid=1632&diff=277478&oldid=277462 recent edits on Robb Stark] make me skeptical that you now know "almost everything" to make an article in a publishable state. Do you even preview your edits before you publish them, or review them after? Take a break from editing and learn by reading articles (including reading the source via the editor). Everything you need to know is right here on the wiki if you just take the initiative to absorb it. If you need any specific guides on how to do something, most of the countless guides on Wikipedia that can easily be found via Google apply here as well. Also remember to sign all of your comments on talk pages with "<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>" --[[User:Potsk|Potsk]] ([[User talk:Potsk|talk]]) 11:40, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

==List of characters==
I didn't want to rummage around in your sandbox, so I wanted to tell you that I found, what I think are, some errors with the coas you assigned. Jaehaerys II and Aegon V Targaryen have a Royce coa; Olyvar and Elmar Frey have a Manderly one; and Robert Ashford's personal sigil is missing. Regarding Amory Lorch's personal sigil, there was a bit of a discussion on the wiki thread at the forum and we came to the conclusion that there is no evidence in the books that he has a personal sigil at all. I also think Tyrek Lannister should have the Hayford coa as well, because with Ermesande being the ruling lady of her house, he married into her family. Otherwise, I like the way it looks so far! -[[User:Alyx Rivers|Alyx Rivers]] ([[User talk:Alyx Rivers|talk]]) 20:47, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
:Hi, thanks for telling me. But I have no problem with anyone else editing the sandbox. Fix errors or expand to your heart's content. [[User:Potsk|Potsk]] ([[User talk:Potsk|talk]]) 20:52, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

::Since you said you use my spreadsheet as a basis for this list, I've taken the liberty to add the characters from ''The Princess and the Queen''. I've started with that one, to be sure to not impact your own work with the main series novels. Feel free to modify what I did if you want. --[[User:Thomaerys Velaryon|Thomaerys Velaryon]] ([[User talk:Thomaerys Velaryon|talk]]) 20:55, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

:::Regarding the spreadsheet, there's a slight problem in that it's not sorted in publishing order (it starts with the 5 main novels in a row) so some characters who first appear in one of the Dunk and Egg novellas are listed as first being mentioned in one of the main ASOIAF novels. I don't have any of the Dunk and Egg novellas on hand so I can't verify exactly where they first appear [[User:Potsk|Potsk]] ([[User talk:Potsk|talk]]) 23:09, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

==Vermithor==
Was Vermithor confirmed to appear in the finale episode ? Or did you simply added him as people think it is him with Daemon in the trailer ? The number of 9 dragons appearing this season was all over the pre-season promotional interviews, it is strange if we get 10 in the end. --[[User:Thomaerys Velaryon|Thomaerys Velaryon]] ([[User talk:Thomaerys Velaryon|talk]]) 16:30, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

:I misinterpreted what an article said as official confirmation. I'll remove it. [[User:Potsk|Potsk]] ([[User talk:Potsk|talk]]) 07:42, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

::That is fine. By the way, I also think this is Vermithor and we will have 10 dragons this season. I was just wondering if there was an official confirmation out there or not. We will have to wait a few days I guess. --[[User:Thomaerys Velaryon|Thomaerys Velaryon]] ([[User talk:Thomaerys Velaryon|talk]]) 10:02, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
::It is Vermithor in the end. I will put the reference back on his article. --[[User:Thomaerys Velaryon|Thomaerys Velaryon]] ([[User talk:Thomaerys Velaryon|talk]]) 19:29, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

==COA in your character list==
Hi Potsk, I made a new template {{tl|coa}} that works for both PNGs and SVGs. It abstracts away the filename so it will be much easier to maintain in the future. As a bonus, it also links back to the relevant article, e.g. {{coa|Lannister}} {{tl|coa|Lannister}} links to [[House Lannister]] and {{coa|Lannister of Lannisport}} {{tl|coa|Lannister of Lannisport}} links to [[House Lannister of Lannisport]]. Would it be okay if I update your list to use the new template? [[User:Abjiklam|Abjiklam]] ([[User talk:Abjiklam|talk]]) 11:43, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

:Go ahead [[User:Potsk|Potsk]] ([[User talk:Potsk|talk]]) 11:56, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

==Drafts information==
Hi Potsk, I just wanted to let you know that per the discussion in the forums regarding non-canon information ([https://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?/topic/34958-the-asoiaf-wiki-thread/&do=findComment&comment=8899373 see here]), adding a "behind the scenes" section or a redirect is fine but creating a new page for a character that was never canon in the first place is not. Cheers. --[[User:Thomaerys Velaryon|Thomaerys Velaryon]] ([[User talk:Thomaerys Velaryon|talk]]) 22:51, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

==Flames in the Targaryen COA==
You are right. While it is an immediate assumption that the color of the flames matches that of the scales (red for the Targaryen dragon), in the text of ''The Citadel: Heraldry'' the color is only specified for the flames of the Blackfyre dragon. I've undone that edit. --[[User:Somnium Draconis|Somnium Draconis]] ([[User talk:Somnium Draconis|talk]]) 13:39, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

==Coldmoat==
The banners at Coldmoat displaying both there arms means nothing, they have just married and reconciled there differences and would have flown them in celebration. You do not take them down immediately because that defeats the purpose of the display, so they would have flown for a few days maybe as much as a fortnight.
Besides to use your own argument of precedent, we have no precedent of co-rulership in the books so by your own argument there would then be no such thing.
The truth is we do not know and the wiki should reflect that doubt. [[User:Direpupy|Direpupy]] ([[User talk:Direpupy|talk]]) 08:21, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

:One instance and its from pre-conquest Targaryens who held markedly different believes and customs, that's not a precedent at all, that is an outlier completely unsuitable for this situation. Besides there are many more instances of ruling lady's who do not share power with there husband, why would Rohanne agree to share power, and please don't give they argument that she had to marry, in a pinch now that they need no longer fear the Longinch she could have just married one of her household knights. I see no reason why Eustace would be co-ruler, nor does the text of the book say this. As long as there is uncertainty as to his position the wiki should reflect this, that's why i placed the uncertain nature of his position in the wiki articles. [[User:Direpupy|Direpupy]] ([[User talk:Direpupy|talk]]) 16:00, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

::Picky backing on the discussion here to highlight an adjacent issue I've uncounter while make the succession boxes for Dornish titles. I've used the parameter "under" for the "Prince(ss) Consort of Dorne" titles by default but that is not quite correct as they do not serve under their spouses and they do not rule alongside them either, they are kind of in between. I was wondering if it would be possible to create a "Consort:" parameter for the S-ttl template similar to the regent one instead. I don't know if such consort parameter should be used for the spouses of ruling lords/ladies (e.g. the 8 Lady Frey) but it certainly be useful for the Queen Consort of Westeros. --[[User:Thomaerys Velaryon|Thomaerys Velaryon]] ([[User talk:Thomaerys Velaryon|talk]]) 20:10, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

==Noble Houses rank==
Hello Potsk,
I'm not digging your recent changes on the infobox for the noble Houses and I'm wondering what is the point of it to be honest. First, the pictures of the different ranks are very similar. If they are not easy to differentiate, it defeats the purpose of having them in the first place, no ? And second, the placement of pictures that big on top of the sigil might not be ideal.
Does this idea of distinguishing the noble rank visually comes from somewhere and I am missing something ? I'm just a bit perplexed about the all thing, maybe we should discuss it with other editors either here or on the forums. Good day to you. --[[User:Thomaerys Velaryon|Thomaerys Velaryon]] ([[User talk:Thomaerys Velaryon|talk]]) 16:11, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

:It's based on real-life [[w:Achievement (heraldry)|heraldic achievement]]. Barons/baronets (equivalent to ASOIAF's landed knights) display open-faced helmets, nobility ranked count and up (equivalent to ASOIAF's lords) display barred helmets, while crowns (either on their own directly on top of the escutcheon, or on top of a helmet) generally denotes royalty, but sometimes other ranks as well depending on the type of crown. Showing rank and prestige gets even more extensive than that (mantles, pavilions, supporters, crests, etc.) COAs on The Citadel show helmets and mantles, so I thought of adding mantles too but that would be very complicated to implement without directly changing the COA files. I thought of it as kind of a continuation of the decision to put house mottos on ribbons, which is also part of achievement. [[User:Potsk|Potsk]] ([[User talk:Potsk|talk]]) 17:35, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

==AI art==

I don't have any of the Dunk and Egg novellas on hand so I can't verify exactly where they first appear [[User:Potsk|Potsk]] ([[User talk:Potsk|talk]]) 23:09, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

==Vermithor==
Was Vermithor confirmed to appear in the finale episode ? Or did you simply added him as people think it is him with Daemon in the trailer ? The number of 9 dragons appearing this season was all over the pre-season promotional interviews, it is strange if we get 10 in the end. --[[User:Thomaerys Velaryon|Thomaerys Velaryon]] ([[User talk:Thomaerys Velaryon|talk]]) 16:30, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

::That is fine. By the way, I also think this is Vermithor and we will have 10 dragons this season. I was just wondering if there was an official confirmation out there or not. We will have to wait a few days I guess. --[[User:Thomaerys Velaryon|Thomaerys Velaryon]] ([[User talk:Thomaerys Velaryon|talk]]) 10:02, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

==COA in your character list==
Hi Potsk, I made a new template {{tl|coa}} that works for both PNGs and SVGs. It abstracts away the filename so it will be much easier to maintain in the future. As a bonus, it also links back to the relevant article, e.g. {{coa|Lannister}} {{tl|coa|Lannister}} links to [[House Lannister]] and {{coa|Lannister of Lannisport}} {{tl|coa|Lannister of Lannisport}} links to [[House Lannister of Lannisport]]. Would it be okay if I update your list to use the new template? [[User:Abjiklam|Abjiklam]] ([[User talk:Abjiklam|talk]]) 11:43, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

:Go ahead [[User:Potsk|Potsk]] ([[User talk:Potsk|talk]]) 11:56, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

==Drafts information==
Hi Potsk, I just wanted to let you know that per the discussion in the forums regarding non-canon information ([https://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?/topic/34958-the-asoiaf-wiki-thread/&do=findComment&comment=8899373 see here]), adding a "behind the scenes" section or a redirect is fine but creating a new page for a character that was never canon in the first place is not. Cheers. --[[User:Thomaerys Velaryon|Thomaerys Velaryon]] ([[User talk:Thomaerys Velaryon|talk]]) 22:51, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

==Flames in the Targaryen COA==
You are right. While it is an immediate assumption that the color of the flames matches that of the scales (red for the Targaryen dragon), in the text of ''The Citadel: Heraldry'' the color is only specified for the flames of the Blackfyre dragon. I've undone that edit. --[[User:Somnium Draconis|Somnium Draconis]] ([[User talk:Somnium Draconis|talk]]) 13:39, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

==Coldmoat==
The banners at Coldmoat displaying both there arms means nothing, they have just married and reconciled there differences and would have flown them in celebration. You do not take them down immediately because that defeats the purpose of the display, so they would have flown for a few days maybe as much as a fortnight.
Besides to use your own argument of precedent, we have no precedent of co-rulership in the books so by your own argument there would then be no such thing.
The truth is we do not know and the wiki should reflect that doubt. [[User:Direpupy|Direpupy]] ([[User talk:Direpupy|talk]]) 08:21, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

:One instance and its from pre-conquest Targaryens who held markedly different believes and customs, that's not a precedent at all, that is an outlier completely unsuitable for this situation. Besides there are many more instances of ruling lady's who do not share power with there husband, why would Rohanne agree to share power, and please don't give they argument that she had to marry, in a pinch now that they need no longer fear the Longinch she could have just married one of her household knights. I see no reason why Eustace would be co-ruler, nor does the text of the book say this. As long as there is uncertainty as to his position the wiki should reflect this, that's why i placed the uncertain nature of his position in the wiki articles.

::Picky backing on the discussion here to highlight an adjacent issue I've uncounter while make the succession boxes for Dornish titles. I've used the parameter "under" for the "Prince(ss) Consort of Dorne" titles by default but that is not quite correct as they do not serve under their spouses and they do not rule alongside them either, they are kind of in between. I was wondering if it would be possible to create a "Consort:" parameter for the S-ttl template similar to the regent one instead. I don't know if such consort parameter should be used for the spouses of ruling lords/ladies (e.g. the 8 Lady Frey) but it certainly be useful for the Queen Consort of Westeros. --[[User:Thomaerys Velaryon|Thomaerys Velaryon]] ([[User talk:Thomaerys Velaryon|talk]]) 20:10, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

==Noble Houses rank==
Hello Potsk,
I'm not digging your recent changes on the infobox for the noble Houses and I'm wondering what is the point of it to be honest. First, the pictures of the different ranks are very similar. If they are not easy to differentiate, it defeats the purpose of having them in the first place, no ? And second, the placement of pictures that big on top of the sigil might not be ideal.
Does this idea of distinguishing the noble rank visually comes from somewhere and I am missing something ? I'm just a bit perplexed about the all thing, maybe we should discuss it with other editors either here or on the forums. Good day to you. --[[User:Thomaerys Velaryon|Thomaerys Velaryon]] ([[User talk:Thomaerys Velaryon|talk]]) 16:11, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

:It's based on real-life [[w:Achievement (heraldry)|heraldic achievement]]. Barons/baronets (equivalent to ASOIAF's landed knights) display open-faced helmets, nobility ranked count and up (equivalent to ASOIAF's lords) display barred helmets, while crowns (either on their own directly on top of the escutcheon, or on top of a helmet) generally denotes royalty, but sometimes other ranks as well depending on the type of crown. Showing rank and prestige gets even more extensive than that (mantles, pavilions, supporters, crests, etc.) COAs on The Citadel show helmets and mantles, so I thought of adding mantles too but that would be very complicated to implement without directly changing the COA files. I thought of it as kind of a continuation of the decision to put house mottos on ribbons, which is also part of achievement. [[User:Potsk|Potsk]] ([[User talk:Potsk|talk]]) 17:35, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

'''Yoren''' is a [[sworn brother]] of the [[Night's Watch]]. A recruiter, or [[wandering crow]], he travels the [[Seven Kingdoms]], and is responsible for collecting recruits and prisoners who would take the black. He then escorts them to [[Castle Black]] for training.{{Ref|AGOT|13}}

In the television adaptation ''[[Game of Thrones]]'', Yoren is portrayed by [[List of actors of the televised series#Francis Magee,Yoren|Francis Magee]].

==Appearance and Character==
{{See also|:Category:Images of Yoren|l1=Images of Yoren}}

Yoren is stooped and sinister, with a twisted shoulder.{{Ref|AGOT|13}} His coarse and ugly features are hidden behind a thick and matted black beard.{{Ref|AGOT|13}} Yoren has hard black eyes.{{ref|AGOT|65}}

The recruiter is lice-ridden and smells foul, wearing garments that are tattered and have long since faded to grey.{{Ref|AGOT|13}}{{Ref|rpg|guardiansorder}} Yoren carries dirk,{{ref|AGOT|9}} sword,{{ref|ACOK|5}} and a black-bannered staff representing the [[Night's Watch]].{{ref|ACOK|14}}

Yoren is hard and grim, and he has little patience for fools.{{Ref|rpg|guardiansorder}} He is not the most refined person, but is loyal and trustworthy.{{Ref|ACOK|9}} Yoren's manners are brusque and he does not mince his words. However, he believes in the rules of the Night's Watch, and laments the fact that the order is not treated with the same respect it used to be. He frequently chews [[sourleaf]], and has the habit of spitting the juice out if he wants to express contempt about something. Yoren is familiar with [[House Lannister guards]] in [[King's Landing]].{{Ref|ACOK|1}}

==History==
Yoren suffered a shoulder injury that made it impossible for him to fight well any longer. He has spent the past thirty years traveling the [[Seven Kingdoms]] and recruiting for the [[Night's Watch]], losing only three recruits in that time. His travels frequently bring him to [[Winterfell]], thus he knows the members of [[House Stark]] and has a certain loyalty to them.{{Ref|ACOK|9}}

Yoren brought [[Chett]] to the [[Wall]] after the criminal was judged by [[Walder Rivers]].{{ref|ASOS|Prologue}}

==Recent Events==
===''A Game of Thrones''===
[[File:Yorens Task by chrzan666.jpg|thumb|350px|Yoren's Task, by Piotr Chrzanowski © Fantasy Flight Games]]
At a wooden holdfast at the edge of the [[wolfswood]], Yoren joins the party led by [[Benjen Stark]] that is heading north to the [[Wall]], with [[Tyrion Lannister]] and [[Jon Snow]] also coming along. Yoren brings two young rapists from the [[Fingers]] as recruits for the [[Night's Watch]]. Yoren's ragged appearance as well as his charges serve as a rude awakening to Jon, who might have thought that the Watch just consisted of noble men like his uncle Benjen.{{Ref|AGOT|13}}

Yoren returns south, arriving at [[Winterfell]] in the company of four black brothers and Tyrion, the latter receiving a cold welcome from [[Robb Stark]]. Yoren is present when Tyrion hands over his plans for building a saddle that can carry the crippled [[Bran Stark]]. As Yoren is senior among the Night's Watch men, he is seated with Robb and [[Maester]] [[Luwin]] for dinner that night. Yoren refers to Jon as the bane of Ser [[Alliser Thorne]], and he angers Bran by stating that the missing Benjen is probably dead.{{Ref|AGOT|24}}

Yoren is present when [[Catelyn Stark]] arrests Tyrion at the [[crossroads inn]], and afterwards he continues to [[King's Landing]] to inform her husband, Lord [[Eddard Stark]], the new [[Hand of the King]].{{Ref|AGOT|32}} Yoren remains in the capital to gather more recruits. No [[knight]]s volunteer for the Watch, so Eddard gives Yoren his pick of the king's dungeons.{{ref|AGOT|44}} At some point, Yoren is approached by [[Varys|a man]] who gives him gold to take [[Gendry|a boy]] with him to the Wall, and after Eddard's imprisonment Yoren is told to be ready to take Eddard to the Wall.{{Ref|ACOK|1}}

Yoren is present at the [[Great Sept of Baelor]] when Eddard publicly confesses to [[treason]], and he recognizes Eddard's daughter [[Arya Stark|Arya]] in the crowd. When King [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey I Baratheon]] unexpectedly orders Lord Stark to be beheaded by Ser [[Ilyn Payne]], Yoren grabs Arya and prevents her from seeing her father's execution. Calling her "boy", Yoren drags Arya away.{{Ref|AGOT|65}}

===''A Clash of Kings''===
[[File: Yoren by Roman Papusev.jpg|thumb|350px|Yoren, by Roman Papusev © Fantasy Flight Games]]
Yoren cuts [[Arya Stark]]'s hair to a stubble with his dagger so she can pass as an orphan boy called "Arry". He intends to bring her with his band of recruits headed for the [[Wall]], and is going to drop her off at [[Winterfell]]. Yoren's band consists of approximately thirty people. In addition, he takes along five wagons laden with supplies, as well as two [[courser]]s and a couple of donkeys for the boys.{{Ref|ACOK|1}}

While heading north on the [[kingsroad]], Yoren stops Arya from beating [[Hot Pie]] with a wooden sword. He strikes her behind with a stick, but gives her [[sourleaf]] for the pain. He informs her that Lord [[Eddard Stark]] was supposed to join the [[Night's Watch]], and that something must have gone wrong, arousing Arya's suspicion that King [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey I Baratheon]] is responsible for her father's death.{{Ref|ACOK|1}}

The band is confronted with refugees, warning of [[War of the Five Kings|war]] and armed men. [[Praed]] dies, only the fourth recruit Yoren has lost. Yoren remains undisturbed at first, insisting that the Night's Watch takes no part in the wars of the realm and that his band will be safe.{{Ref|ACOK|5}}{{Ref|ACOK|9}}

At an inn on the kingsroad where Yoren protects Arya from revealing her [[north]]ern identity, a group of [[City Watch of King’s Landing|gold cloaks]] present a warrant for [[Gendry]], signed by Queen Regent [[Cersei Lannister]]. Yoren refuses their demand that the boy be handed over, pointing out that laws protect members of the Night's Watch. Yoren makes the unimpressed gold cloaks retreat, although they announce they will be back. Yoren gives Arya and Gendry the two coursers, advising them to flee as fast as they can if the gold cloaks reappear.{{Ref|ACOK|5}}

[[File:Yoren 01.png|thumb|350px]]
Avoiding the kingsroad afterwards, the band marches west- and northwards toward the [[Gods Eye]], which Yoren wants to pass along its western shore. The hostility of the fieldhands at [[Briarwhite]], who take the recruits for possible looters, make Yoren increasingly bitter about disrespect shown to the Night's Watch. Yoren admits to Arya that he might have made a mistake taking orphans away from the safety of the city or, at least, not going by ship to the Wall this time.{{Ref|ACOK|9}}

The band arrives at the eastern side of [[Gods Eye river|the river]] running south from the Gods Eye. Having no means to cross the river with their wagons, Yoren wants to rent a boat in an [[Gods Eye town|unnamed town]] on the southern shore of the Gods Eye and to cross it towards [[Harrentown]], going on from there or finding shelter with Lady [[Shella Whent]] at [[Harrenhal]]. However, when they arrive at the town, it is deserted and no boats can be found.{{Ref|ACOK|14}}

While Yoren and his recruits stay in an abandoned [[holdfast]] overnight, a party led by Ser [[Amory Lorch]], part of the Lannister campaign in the riverlands, arrives and torches the town. In the name of King Joffrey, Amory commands Yoren to open the gate. Again pointing out that the Night's Watch takes no part in the war, Yoren refuses, prompting Lorch to order his men to [[Storming of the Gods Eye town holdfast|storm the holdfast]] and kill everyone inside. They open the attack by thrusting a spear in Yoren's direction, but kill [[Woth]] instead. Yoren organizes the defense of the walls, and during the ensuing assault he kills the man with whom he had the first exchange that night. When he realizes that the attackers have won, Yoren tells Arya that she and Gendry should rescue as many boys as possible, directing her towards a tunnel they found earlier.{{Ref|ACOK|14}}

Arya and Gendry return to the holdfast the next evening, after the departure of Amory's men, but the rest of Yoren's band has been killed. They find Yoren's body, with his skull split by an axe, and surrounded by the bodies of four enemies. They bury him on Arya's insistence, leaving the bodies of the others, as they have no time to bury them all.{{Ref|ACOK|19}}

Back in King's Landing, [[Tyrion Lannister]] is told by [[Bronn]] that a black brother has arrived from the Wall. Tyrion is disappointed when he learns it is Ser [[Alliser Thorne]] instead of Yoren.{{Ref|ACOK|17}} After the [[fall of Harrenhal]], Amory is fed to a black [[bear]], which reminds Arya of Yoren.{{ref|ACOK|47}}

===''A Feast for Crows''===
With Yoren missing and presumed dead, [[Dareon]] is named by [[Jon Snow]], [[Lord Commander of the Night's Watch]], as a replacement recruiter.{{ref|AFFC|15}}

==Yoren's Recruits==
[[File:Yoren Leaves KIng's Landing.png|thumb|350px|Francis Magee as Yoren in ''[[Game of Thrones]]'']]
The last recruits that Yoren tried to bring to the Wall with their status and individual fate:

'''Rohanne Webber''', known as '''the Red Widow''', was the Lady of [[Coldmoat]] and the head of [[House Webber]] during the reign of King [[Aerys I Targaryen]]. She was the daughter of Lord [[Wyman Webber]].{{Ref|TSS}} Later, she married Lord [[Gerold Lannister]] and became Lady of [[Casterly Rock]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Westerlands: House Lannister Under the Dragons}}

==Appearance and Character==
{{See also|:Category:Images of Rohanne Webber|l1=Rohanne Webber}}
Lady Rohanne was short (4'11"), slim, and had strawberry-blond red hair and grey-green eyes. She had a dimpled chin, a snub nose, and freckles. Rohanne usually kept her hair bound in a braid that reached down to her thighs, and she frequently played with it.{{Ref|TSS}}

Rohanne tried hard to appear ferocious to other [[lord]]s and [[knight]]s. She enjoyed archery.{{Ref|TSS}}

==History==
===Early life===
During her childhood, Rohanne was fond of young [[Addam Osgrey]], who served as her father [[Wyman Webber|Wyman's]] page and later [[squire]] at [[Coldmoat]]. The two had an innocent romance, though it never went past a few kisses. Because of this relationship, Addam's father, Ser [[Eustace Osgrey]], proposed that they marry, but Lord Wyman refused him. Instead, Rohanne was married to a different squire of her father's. During the [[First Blackfyre Rebellion]], her father and husband fought in the [[Battle of the Redgrass Field]] in {{Date|196}}, on the side of [[House Targaryen]]. Rohanne's husband, twelve years old, was slain in battle, and she became a widow for the first time at the age of ten. Addam also died during the battle, fighting on the side of [[House Blackfyre]] as his father's squire, which caused Rohanne to develop a grudge against Ser Eustace.{{Ref|TSS}}

At age thirteen, Rohanne was married again to a fifty-four-year-old man, who soon died of a chill. Six months after his death, she gave birth to their son, who was weak and died within three days. Her third husband, Ser [[Simon Staunton]], choked to death on a chicken bone, while her fourth husband, Ser [[Rolland Uffering]] died of the [[Great Spring Sickness]]. Rohanne bore a daughter by either her third or fourth husband, but the girl did not live a year. Because of the unfortunate deaths of her husbands and children, Rohanne was called the Red Widow, and the [[smallfolk]] accused her of poisoning her husbands and being a [[witch]] who sold her unborn babies to the Lord of the [[Faith of the Seven#Practices|Seven Hells]] so that he would teach her the [[magic|black arts]].{{Ref|TSS}}

Before his death, Lord Wyman attempted to marry Rohanne to his castellan, Ser [[Lucas Inchfield]], but she refused him. As such, Wyman stated in his will that Rohanne had two years to marry after his death. If she would remain unwed, Coldmoat would be granted to her cousin, Ser [[Wendell Webber]]. On his deathbed, Rohanne's father charged Lucas to scare off unworthy suitors, though in the two years that would follow, Lucas would attempt to scare off all who traveled to Coldmoat. Lucas's behavior, in addition to the rumors concerning the deaths of Rohanne's four husbands and the two children who died, caused the number of suitors to be lower than would have been expected based on her beauty and status, but she did have several suitors. Among them were [[Cleyton Caswell]] and [[Simon Leygood]], both rather persistent, and Ser [[Gerold Lannister]], who sent her flattering letters from [[Casterly Rock]], but whom Rohanne did not believe to be willing to leave the [[westerlands]] and his position at his [[Tybolt Lannister|brother's]] seat.{{Ref|TSS}}

===Fifth marriage===
Lady Rohanne continued to rule [[Coldmoat]] in {{Date|211}}, though she had only until the new moon to marry in order to keep her seat. When her people built a dam on the [[Chequy Water]], Ser [[Bennis of the Brown Shield]], working for Ser [[Eustace Osgrey]], assaulted one of her workers. Ser [[Duncan the Tall]] came to Coldmoat on behalf of Eustace to pay the blood price, but she rejected the offer. Lady Rohanne brought her forces to the Chequy Water, where she was confronted by Duncan, Eustace, and Duncan's squire, [[Aegon V Targaryen|Egg]]. She accepted a [[trial by battle]], choosing Ser [[Lucas Inchfield]] as her champion to fight Eustace's champion, Duncan. Lucas Longinch was killed in the trial, however, and the valor of Duncan reconciled Eustace and Rohanne. Rohanne visited [[Addam Osgrey]]'s grave at [[Standfast]], and when she began to weep, Eustace comforted her. They married the next day, allowing Rohanne to keep Coldmoat.{{Ref|TSS}}

During Duncan's attempts to defuse the feud between Eustace and Rohanne, he and she developed a certain attraction. When he woke after nearly being killed in the trial by combat and found Rohanne had married Eustace, and then never visited him while he was recovering, Duncan felt rejected. On the day he left Coldmoat, Rohanne tried to offer Duncan a place as captain of her guards, but he refused the offer. She then offered him one of her horses to give him something to remember her by, but Duncan refused that as well. At the conclusion of their argument, they kissed passionately, and Duncan cut off her famous braid to keep to remember her by.{{Ref|TSS}}

Rohanne owned a courser with some [[Dornish sand steed]] ancestry called [[Flame]], which she tried to gift to Ser Duncan,{{Ref|TSS}} and a young palfrey that she gifted to Egg{{Ref|TSS}} and that was eventually named [[Rain]].{{Ref|TMK}}

===Lady Lannister===
[[File:Rohanne Webber 02.png|thumb|250px|right]]
Rohanne eventually married Lord [[Gerold Lannister]] and had four sons with him, twins [[Tywald Lannister|Tywald]] and [[Tion Lannister|Tion]], [[Tytos Lannister|Tytos]], and [[Jason Lannister (son of Gerold)|Jason Lannister]]. She was the grandmother of Lord [[Tywin Lannister|Tywin]], Ser [[Kevan Lannister|Kevan]], [[Gerion Lannister|Gerion]], Ser [[Tygett Lannister|Tygett]], Lady [[Genna Lannister|Genna]], Lady [[Joanna Lannister|Joanna]], Ser [[Stafford Lannister|Stafford]], and [[Damon Lannister (son of Jason)|Damon Lannister]]. Lady Rohanne disappeared under mysterious circumstances in {{Date|230}}, less than a year after giving birth to Jason.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Westerlands: House Lannister Under the Dragons}}

To spite the widowed Lord Gerold, Lady [[Ellyn Reyne]] named her first daughter, [[Rohanne Tarbeck]], after Rohanne Webber in {{date|240}}, according to a semi-canon source.<ref>''[[The World of Ice & Fire]]'': The Westerlands (unabridged).

'''Ben Plumm''', better known as '''Brown Ben Plumm''', is a descendant of [[House Plumm]], and the captain and commander of the [[Second Sons]].

==Appearance==
{{See also|:Category:Images of Ben Plumm|l1=Images of Ben Plumm}}
Ben is an aging man, but still fit.{{Ref|ADWD|47}} He has a broad, weathered face, brown skin, a broken nose, and grey-white hair.{{Ref|aDwD|36}} He has a salt and pepper beard.{{Ref|ADWD|47}} He has large, dark, almond-shaped [[Dothraki]] eyes that he inherited from his mother.{{Ref|aSoS|57}} There are wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.{{Ref|aDwD|36}}

==History==
Ben's mother is a Dothraki, and his grandmother was half-[[Ibbenese]] and half-[[Qohor]]ik. His grandfather was killed by a Dothraki prior to Ben's birth.{{Ref|aSoS|57}}

Ben says he is part [[Braavos]]i, [[Summer Islands|Summer Islander]], [[Ibben]]ese, [[Qohor]]ik, [[Dorne|Dornish]], [[Dothraki]], and [[Westeros]]i. He claims to have a drop of [[House Targaryen|Targaryen]] blood, which must be why [[Dragon|dragons]], particularly [[Viserion]], have an affinity for him. He states an [[Ossifer Plumm|old member]] of [[House Plumm]] married a "[[Elaena Targaryen|dragon princess]]". He vaguely says that the wedding took place in the reign of [[Aegon IV Targaryen|Aegon Targaryen]]. [[Daenerys Targaryen|Daenerys]] points out that there were five Aegons who reigned in Westeros and asks which one, but Ben fails to remember the regnal number requested.{{Ref|aSoS|57}} [[Tyrion Lannister]] suspects him to be a distant descendant of a younger son of [[Viserys Plumm]] and a possible distant relation to the famous [[Ossifer Plumm]], and that Ben thus has "two drops" of dragon blood, not just one,{{Ref|aDwD|57}} as Viserys Plumm was rumored to have been fathered by King [[Aegon IV Targaryen]] on Princess [[Elaena Targaryen]], Ossifer's wife.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Baelor I}}

Ben once served as a bodyguard to the uncle of [[Oznak zo Pahl]] in [[Meereen]], before joining the [[Second Sons]]. When someone Ben knew was killed by Oznak for looking at a woman the wrong way, Ben fled, escaping the city through its sewer system, an experience that haunts him.{{Ref|aDwD|57}}

While plundering after his first battle with the Second Sons, Plumm took some leather armor from a dead sellsword, and discovered a fortune of coins the man had sewn into the lining of the armor. In his naivety, Ben told a fellow sellsword whom he believed a friend. The fellow sellsword told their sergeant, and his colleagues relieved Ben of his fortune. Ben loves [[gold]], but this incident made him realize that it is useless if one is not alive to enjoy it.{{Ref|aDwD|50}}

Ben claims to have fought in a hundred battles, but he does not claim to have fought bravely in all of them.{{Ref|aSoS|57}}

==Recent Events==
===''A Storm of Swords''===
Ben is elected as the new commander of the Second Sons after [[Mero]] disappears during the fight at [[Yunkai]]. Ben sits on [[Daenerys Targaryen]]'s war council. It is his idea to use the sewer system of [[Meereen]] as a route to besiege the city.{{Ref|aSoS|57}}

===''A Dance with Dragons''===
Daenerys sends Brown Ben and the Second Sons to guard the south against any incursions by Yunkai.{{Ref|aDwD|2}} When Plumm returns to the city and discovers Daenerys could no longer control her dragons, he decides her cause is lost and goes over to the Yunkai'i.{{Ref|aDwD|36}}{{Ref|aDwD|50}}

During the slave market held outside [[Meereen]], Plumm sees [[Tyrion Lannister]] and [[Penny]] being sold, and attempts to buy them,{{Ref|aDwD|47}} with a mind to delivering Tyrion's head to Daenerys as a wedding gift,{{Ref|aDwD|50}}, or to [[Cersei Lannister]] to claim the reward of a lordship.{{Ref|aDwD|57}} However, he is outbid by [[Yezzan zo Qaggaz]].

Ben is present when [[Yezzan zo Qaggaz]] feasts the Yunkish commanders. He plays [[cyvasse]] with Tyrion, losing the games to Tyrion, and a small fortune to Yezzan.{{Ref|aDwD|47}}

Ben, along with the other three sellsword commanders, is allowed to enter Meereen when peace is declared. He explains to Dany the reasons he turned his cloak.{{Ref|aDwD|50}} After Tyrion and [[Jorah Mormont]] escape the dying Yezzan, Plumm allows them to join the Second Sons. Tyrion writes sixty documents promising large sums of gold to several high ranking members in the company. To Plumm, he promises the largest reward, "One hundred thousand gold dragons, fifty [[w:Hide (unit)|hides]] of fertile land, a castle, and a lordship". Tyrion promises to honor the documents when he becomes [[Lord of Casterly Rock]].{{Ref|aDwD|66}}

'''Eustace Osgrey''' was the [[knight]] of [[Standfast]] and the head of [[House Osgrey]] during the reign of King [[Aerys I Targaryen]].{{Ref|TSS}}

==Appearance and Character==
Eustace was tall, broad, and handsome in his youth. As he grew older, he remained big-boned, broad-shouldered, and barrel-chested, with strong, sharp features. He wore a thick mustache and kept his hair close-cropped. Eustace's hair turned white as milk, but his mustache and eyebrows were ashy gray. His eyes were a paler gray color, and appeared to be full of sadness.{{Ref|TSS}}

Eustace was a stubborn [[knight]] proud of the past glories of [[House Osgrey]], although he grew forgetful in his old age. He treasured the broken shield of his ancestor, Ser [[Wilbert Osgrey]].{{Ref|TSS}} He admired valorous warriors, such as [[Daemon I Blackfyre]] and Ser [[Duncan the Tall]], and disliked King [[Daeron II Targaryen]] and [[Dornishmen]].{{Ref|TSS}}

The knight wore mail and plate. Eustace's long, woolen surcoat, decorated with the chequy lion of his family, was faded yellow. A chequy lion also adorned his frayed silk cloak, and he wielded a [[sword]]. The knight rode a [[Horse|grey gelding]].{{Ref|TSS}}

==History==
Ser Eustace had been good friends with his neighbor, Lord [[Wyman Webber]], before the [[First Blackfyre Rebellion]], though not without some jealousy, as much of the [[House Webber]] lands had once belonged to [[House Osgrey]], including the Webbers' castle [[Coldmoat]]. Eustace's youngest son, [[Addam Osgrey|Addam]], served at Coldmoat as Wyman's page and squire, and began a childhood romance with Wyman's daughter, [[Rohanne Webber|Rohanne]], who was the same age. However, when Eustace proposed that Addam marry Rohanne, Wyman courteously rejected him, though Eustace heard Wyman laughing with Ser [[Lucas Inchfield]] as he left. Eustace never returned to Coldmoat during Wyman's lifetime.{{Ref|TSS}}

===First Blackfyre Rebellion===
Eustace supported the pretender king [[Daemon I Blackfyre]] during the [[First Blackfyre Rebellion]], in hopes that he would reverse the losses [[House Osgrey]] had suffered under [[House Targaryen]]. Eustace also apparently believed the rumors about King [[Daeron II Targaryen]] being a [[bastard]], calling him "Daeron the Falseborn" years later, and proclaiming the merit of the "rightful king", Daemon.{{Ref|TSS}}

In the end the Rebellion failed, and Eustace's three sons, [[Edwyn Osgrey|Edwyn]], [[Harrold Osgrey|Harrold]], and [[Addam Osgrey|Addam]], were killed at the decisive [[Battle of the Redgrass Field]].{{Ref|TSS}}

===Aftermath of the Rebellion===
[[File:Eustace Osgrey 08.png|right|thumb|250px]]
Eustace was pardoned by King [[Daeron II Targaryen]] after the rebellion, although some lands of [[House Osgrey]], including the [[Chequy Water]], were granted to [[House Webber]], which had remained loyal to [[House Targaryen]].{{Ref|TSS}} Eustace's daughter [[Alysanne Osgrey|Alysanne]] was sent to [[King's Landing]] as a hostage. After Eustace brought home the bones of his sons and allowed Alysanne to be taken away, his wife committed suicide by throwing herself from the top of [[Standfast]]. Eustace's wife and sons were buried at Standfast by the blackberry bushes his sons had loved to pick. [[Rohanne Webber]] blamed Eustace for the death of [[Addam Osgrey]].{{Ref|TSS}}

Alysanne stayed in King's Landing for the rest of her life, becoming a [[silent sisters|silent sister]]. Ser Eustace went to visit her once, but she refused to break her vows of silence to speak with him. Alysanne died during the [[Great Spring Sickness]] (in {{Date|209}} or {{Date|210}}), which made Eustace the last of his line.{{Ref|TSS}}

===Conflict with Rohanne Webber===
In {{date|209}}, [[Dake]], a [[smallfolk|peasant]] of House Osgrey's villages who had served as a forager for Ser Eustace during the Blackfyre Rebellion, was accused of stealing sheep from the neighboring lands of House Webber. [[Rohanne Webber]], [[Lady of Coldmoat]], sent her [[knight]]s across the [[Chequy Water]] to seize Dake and bring him to [[Coldmoat]] for punishment. When Eustace arrived at Coldmoat to demand Dake's release, he learned the peasant had been sewn into a sack with rocks, which was sunk in the moat of Coldmoat. Eustace then swore a holy vow that he would never return to Coldmoat again, except to take possession of it.{{Ref|TSS}}

The aging Eustace took on [[hedge knight]]s to protect his lands, first Ser [[Bennis of the Brown Shield]] after Dake's death and later Ser [[Duncan the Tall]]. In {{Date|211}}, Bennis, Duncan, and Duncan's squire Egg, who was actually Prince [[Aegon V Targaryen|Aegon Targaryen]], happened upon the Chequy Water in the process of being dammed by peasants of House Webber. Believing that the men were trespassing on Osgrey lands, Bennis cut [[Wolmer]]'s face in an attempt to scare them off. Eustace, fearing that Lady Webber would demand Bennis's life as she had with Dake's, ordered Bennis and Duncan to raise troops from the peasant villages of House Osgrey and prepare them for a possible war.{{Ref|TSS}}

However, the meager amount of men of fighting age were untrained, and no match for the knights of House Webber. Seeing this, Eustace decided to pay a blood price to settle the matter, but as he had sworn to never return to Coldmoat, he sent Duncan to make the offer. However, Rohanne rejected the blood price, demanding that Bennis be brought to her to have his nose slit as a punishment, or that she would come to Standfast by the next day with fire and sword. Maester [[Cerrick]] revealed a document to Duncan, sealed by the crown, showing House Webber's possession of the Chequy Water and revealing that Eustace had been a traitorous supporter of the [[House Blackfyre|Blackfyres]]. Duncan also learned that Rohanne blamed Eustace for the death of her first love, Eustace's son [[Addam Osgrey]].{{Ref|TSS}}

When Duncan returned to Standfast, he confronted Eustace about his Blackfyre loyalties and about lying to him about the deaths of his sons and the status of the Chequy Water. Duncan planned to leave Standfast the next morning, but Standfast was awakened that night by a fire in [[Wat's Wood]]. Believing that Rohanne had set the fire, Eustace planned to use his peasant militia to make war on her lands and burn one of the Webber mills. However, Duncan realized that all the peasants would die in the conflict. Duncan sent home the smallfolk and told Eustace he would represent him at the confrontation with Rohanne.{{Ref|TSS}}

At the border of their lands, the Chequy Water, Eustace accused Rohanne of setting the fire, while she denied all complicity. Duncan and Rohanne parlayed in the middle of the river. She would not accept Duncan cutting his own cheek as payment for Bennis, and instead demanded an apology for Eustace's slander about the fire. They agreed to a [[trial by combat]] between Duncan and Rohanne's champion, Ser [[Lucas Inchfield]], the castellan of Coldmoat. Duncan prevailed, but almost drowned in the river in the process. While Eustace and Duncan were away from Standfast, Bennis tied up Eustace's servants, [[Sam Stoops]] and his wife, and stole the remaining valuables from Eustace's tower.{{Ref|TSS}}

While Duncan was unconscious, Eustace and Rohanne reconciled, speaking about Addam and visiting his grave at Standfast. When Rohanne began to weep, Eustace comforted her. The next day, Eustace married Rohanne, as a resolution to the will of her father, Lord [[Wyman Webber]], that she be married within two years of his death or lose her ruling rights to a Webber cousin, Ser [[Wendell Webber|Wendell]]. Egg attended Eustace, now Lord of Coldmoat, during the wedding feast. Eustace and Rohanne offered to make Ser Duncan their new captain of the guard at Coldmoat, but Duncan refused and left with Egg.{{Ref|TSS}}

===Legacy===
Not long after, while attending the [[Wedding tourney at Whitewalls|wedding tourney]] at [[Whitewalls]], Ser [[Duncan the Tall]] thought of [[Rohanne Webber]] and Eustace, and wondered if they ever thought of him. Upon encountering some other [[Second Blackfyre Rebellion|Blackfyre rebels]] at the tourney, he was also reminded of Eustace.{{Ref|TMK}}

Eustace died some time before {{Date|219}}.<ref name="calc"/> Rohanne later married [[Gerold Lannister]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Westerlands: House Lannister Under the Dragons}}

Eustace's youngest son, [[Addam Osgrey|Addam]], served at Coldmoat as Wyman's page and squire, and began a childhood romance with Wyman's daughter, [[Rohanne Webber|Rohanne]], who was the same age. However, when Eustace proposed that Addam marry Rohanne, Wyman courteously rejected him, though Eustace heard Wyman laughing with Ser [[Lucas Inchfield]] as he left. Eustace never returned to Coldmoat during Wyman's lifetime.{{Ref|TSS}}

===First Blackfyre Rebellion===
Eustace supported the pretender king [[Daemon I Blackfyre]] during the [[First Blackfyre Rebellion]], in hopes that he would reverse the losses [[House Osgrey]] had suffered under [[House Targaryen]]. Eustace also apparently believed the rumors about King [[Daeron II Targaryen]] being a [[bastard]], calling him "Daeron the Falseborn" years later, and proclaiming the merit of the "rightful king", Daemon.{{Ref|TSS}}

In the end the Rebellion failed, and Eustace's three sons, [[Edwyn Osgrey|Edwyn]], [[Harrold Osgrey|Harrold]], and [[Addam Osgrey|Addam]], were killed at the decisive [[Battle of the Redgrass Field]].{{Ref|TSS}}

===Aftermath of the Rebellion===
[[File:Eustace Osgrey 08.png|right|250px]]
Eustace was pardoned by King [[Daeron II Targaryen]] after the rebellion, although some lands of [[House Osgrey]], including the [[Chequy Water]], were granted to [[House Webber]], which had remained loyal to [[House Targaryen]].{{Ref|TSS}} Eustace's daughter [[Alysanne Osgrey|Alysanne]] was sent to [[King's Landing]] as a hostage. After Eustace brought home the bones of his sons and allowed Alysanne to be taken away, his wife committed suicide by throwing herself from the top of [[Standfast]]. Eustace's wife and sons were buried at Standfast by the blackberry bushes his sons had loved to pick. [[Rohanne Webber]] blamed Eustace for the death of [[Addam Osgrey]].{{Ref|TSS}}

Alysanne stayed in King's Landing for the rest of her life, becoming a [[silent sisters|silent sister]]. Ser Eustace went to visit her once, but she refused to break her vows of silence to speak with him. Alysanne died during the [[Great Spring Sickness]] (in {{Date|209}} or {{Date|210}}), which made Eustace the last of his line.{{Ref|TSS}}

===Conflict with Rohanne Webber===
In {{date|209}}, [[Dake]], a [[smallfolk|peasant]] of House Osgrey's villages who had served as a forager for Ser Eustace during the Blackfyre Rebellion, was accused of stealing sheep from the neighboring lands of House Webber. [[Rohanne Webber]], [[Lady of Coldmoat]], sent her [[knight]]s across the [[Chequy Water]] to seize Dake and bring him to [[Coldmoat]] for punishment. When Eustace arrived at Coldmoat to demand Dake's release, he learned the peasant had been sewn into a sack with rocks, which was sunk in the moat of Coldmoat. Eustace then swore a holy vow that he would never return to Coldmoat again, except to take possession of it.{{Ref|TSS}}

The aging Eustace took on [[hedge knight]]s to protect his lands, first Ser [[Bennis of the Brown Shield]] after Dake's death and later Ser [[Duncan the Tall]]. In {{Date|211}}, Bennis, Duncan, and Duncan's squire Egg, who was actually Prince [[Aegon V Targaryen|Aegon Targaryen]], happened upon the Chequy Water in the process of being dammed by peasants of House Webber. Believing that the men were trespassing on Osgrey lands, Bennis cut [[Wolmer]]'s face in an attempt to scare them off. Eustace, fearing that Lady Webber would demand Bennis's life as she had with Dake's, ordered Bennis and Duncan to raise troops from the peasant villages of House Osgrey and prepare them for a possible war.{{Ref|TSS}}

However, the meager amount of men of fighting age were untrained, and no match for the knights of House Webber. Seeing this, Eustace decided to pay a blood price to settle the matter, but as he had sworn to never return to Coldmoat, he sent Duncan to make the offer. However, Rohanne rejected the blood price, demanding that Bennis be brought to her to have his nose slit as a punishment, or that she would come to Standfast by the next day with fire and sword. Maester [[Cerrick]] revealed a document to Duncan, sealed by the crown, showing House Webber's possession of the Chequy Water and revealing that Eustace had been a traitorous supporter of the [[House Blackfyre|Blackfyres]]. Duncan also learned that Rohanne blamed Eustace for the death of her first love, Eustace's son [[Addam Osgrey]].{{Ref|TSS}}

When Duncan returned to Standfast, he confronted Eustace about his Blackfyre loyalties and about lying to him about the deaths of his sons and the status of the Chequy Water. Duncan planned to leave Standfast the next morning, but Standfast was awakened that night by a fire in [[Wat's Wood]]. Believing that Rohanne had set the fire, Eustace planned to use his peasant militia to make war on her lands and burn one of the Webber mills. However, Duncan realized that all the peasants would die in the conflict. Duncan sent home the smallfolk and told Eustace he would represent him at the confrontation with Rohanne.{{Ref|TSS}}

At the border of their lands, the Chequy Water, Eustace accused Rohanne of setting the fire, while she denied all complicity. Duncan and Rohanne parlayed in the middle of the river. She would not accept Duncan cutting his own cheek as payment for Bennis, and instead demanded an apology for Eustace's slander about the fire. They agreed to a [[trial by combat]] between Duncan and Rohanne's champion, Ser [[Lucas Inchfield]], the castellan of Coldmoat. Duncan prevailed, but almost drowned in the river in the process. While Eustace and Duncan were away from Standfast, Bennis tied up Eustace's servants, [[Sam Stoops]] and his wife, and stole the remaining valuables from Eustace's tower.{{Ref|TSS}}

While Duncan was unconscious, Eustace and Rohanne reconciled, speaking about Addam and visiting his grave at Standfast. When Rohanne began to weep, Eustace comforted her. The next day, Eustace married Rohanne, as a resolution to the will of her father, Lord [[Wyman Webber]], that she be married within two years of his death or lose her ruling rights to a Webber cousin, Ser [[Wendell Webber|Wendell]]. Egg attended Eustace, now Lord of Coldmoat, during the wedding feast. Eustace and Rohanne offered to make Ser Duncan their new captain of the guard at Coldmoat, but Duncan refused and left with Egg.{{Ref|TSS}}

===Legacy===
Not long after, while attending the [[Wedding tourney at Whitewalls|wedding tourney]] at [[Whitewalls]], Ser [[Duncan the Tall]] thought of [[Rohanne Webber]] and Eustace, and wondered if they ever thought of him. Upon encountering some other [[Second Blackfyre Rebellion|Blackfyre rebels]] at the tourney, he was also reminded of Eustace.{{Ref|TMK}}

Eustace died some time before {{Date|219}}.<ref name="calc"/> Rohanne later married [[Gerold Lannister]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Westerlands: House Lannister Under the Dragons}}

'''Cressen''' is a [[maester]] of the [[Citadel]] in service to [[Stannis Baratheon]], [[Lord of Dragonstone]]. He is the [[POV character]] in the [[A Clash of Kings-Prologue|prologue]] of ''[[A Clash of Kings]]''.{{Ref|ACOK|Prologue}}

In the television adaptation ''[[Game of Thrones]]'', Cressen is portrayed by [[w:Oliver Ford Davies|Oliver Ford Davies]].

==Appearance and Character==
:''See also: [[:Category:Images of Cressen|Images of Cressen]]''
At nearly eighty years old, Cressen is frail with a bad hip, causing him to have trouble walking. The maester has wrinkly, thin skin and trembling hands.{{Ref|ACOK|Prologue}}

Cressen loves [[Stannis Baratheon]] and is shameful of the sadness of Stannis's daughter, [[Shireen Baratheon|Shireen]]. He does not feel at home at [[Dragonstone]], although he has grown fond of its [[gargoyle]] decorations. The maester is unable to climb to the [[rookery]].{{Ref|ACOK|Prologue}}

==History==
At some point, Cressen and [[Walgrave]] knew each other.{{Ref|AFFC|Prologue}}

Maester Cressen served as the maester of [[Storm's End]]. When Lord [[Steffon Baratheon]] and his wife [[Cassana Estermont]] died in the wreck of ''[[Windproud]]'' in [[Shipbreaker Bay]], Cressen raised the Baratheon children. His favorite was [[Stannis Baratheon|Stannis]], who needed Cressen more because he lacked the charm of his brothers. Cressen came to regard Stannis as the son he never had.{{Ref|ACOK|Prologue}}

Following Lord Steffon's shipwreck, Cressen helped identify the deceased. When the fool [[Patchface]] washed ashore three days after the shipwreck, Ser [[Harbert]], the castellan of Storm’s End at the time, insisted the fool be put to death, but Cressen refused to agree. In the end, Cressen won the argument.{{Ref|ACOK|Prologue}}

Cressen was at Storm's End when it was [[Siege of Storm's End|besieged]] during [[Robert's Rebellion]]. When Ser [[Gawen Wylde]] and three other [[knight]]s were caught trying to sneak out a postern gate to surrender, Stannis, who held command, prepared to have them hurled at the [[House Tyrell|Tyrell]] host via catapult. Cressen convinced him instead to imprison the men, pointing out that the garrison might at some point be forced to eat their dead, and the four knights were "good meat".{{Ref|ACOK|33}} Cressen attended the [[knight]]ing of Ser [[Davos Seaworth]] by Stannis after the siege.{{Ref|ACOK|Prologue}}

When Stannis was named [[Lord of Dragonstone]] by his brother, King [[Robert I Baratheon]], Cressen followed him to the ancient stronghold. In {{Date|297}}, Cressen fell and broke his hip. In {{Date|298}}, when Cressen fell ill, Stannis requested the [[Citadel]] to send him a replacement for Cressen. In response, Maester [[Pylos]] was sent to Dragonstone.{{Ref|ACOK|Prologue}}

As a result of his long service to Stannis, Stannis has always confided in Cressen.{{Ref|ASOS|54}}

===''A Clash of Kings''===
[[File:J. Edwin Stevens Maester Cressen.jpg|thumb|Maester Cressen using the [[strangler]], by J. Edwin Stevens © Fantasy Flight Games]]
Cressen receives [[Shireen Baratheon]] and [[Patchface]] when they come to see the [[white raven]] the [[Citadel]] has sent to [[Dragonstone (island)|the island]] to announce the end of summer. He attempts to sooth her worries about being eaten by a [[dragon]], and discusses the [[red comet]] with her.{{Ref|ACOK|Prologue}}

After [[Stannis Baratheon]] declares himself king he unsuccessfully sends messengers to gather support for his claim, with only the vassals of [[Dragonstone]] supporting him. The lords of the [[stormlands]] support Stannis's younger brother, [[Renly Baratheon]], who has claimed the [[Iron Throne]] as well. Cressen advises Stannis to ally with the [[House Stark|Starks]] and the [[House Arryn|Arryns]], but Stannis insists that those crowning [[Robb Stark]] as [[King in the North]] are committing treason. Stannis's queen, Lady [[Selyse Florent]], urges Stannis to rely solely on [[R'hllor]] and says that Renly will die soon, according to [[Melisandre]], a [[red priest]]ess. Cressen thinks that Selyse is suggesting [[w:fratricide|fratricide]], and is shocked when Stannis dismisses him to listen to Selyse's counsel. Blaming Melisandre and her "madness", he plans to kill her.{{Ref|ACOK|Prologue}}

Stannis commands Maester [[Pylos]] to let Cressen rest, but Cressen insists upon attending the feast that night. After Patchface collides with Cressen and causes the old man to fall, Melisandre places the [[fool]]'s belled helm on Cressen's head, which the maester removes. Because of Cressen's age, Stannis announces he will now be taking counsel from the younger Pylos. Cressen is eventually seated beside Ser [[Davos Seaworth]]. He puts the [[strangler]], a potent [[poison]], in Davos's cup of [[wine]], shaking off the knight's hand and protest. Instead, Cressen invites Melisandre to drink the cup with him. Apparently aware of Cressen's plan, Melisandre suggests he can still spill the wine, but Cressen insists that they share the cup. Melisandre drinks the majority of the wine and remains unaffected. When Cressen drinks the final sip, the poison kills him.{{Ref|ACOK|Prologue}}

After Cressen's death, the gossip on Dragonstone is that Cressen had challenged R'hllor and been struck down for his impiety.{{Ref|ACOK|10}} When Davos meets with Stannis after the burning of Dragonstone's wooden statues of the [[Faith of the Seven|Seven]], Stannis admits that he had not wanted Cressen at the feast. Despite his anger at the maester's counsel, Stannis had not wanted the old man dead.{{Ref|ACOK|10}}

===''A Storm of Swords''===
Aboard the ''[[Bountiful Harvest]]'' Davos wonders if Melisandre can be killed by mortal weapons, recalling Cressen's attempt to kill her with poison.{{Ref|ASOS|10}}

When climbing up the narrow twisted steps of Sea Dragon Tower, Davos is reminded of Cressen, who had a lot of trouble climbing the steps of the tower after he had broken his hip.{{Ref|ASOS|54}}

When meeting with his the small group of [[king's men]], just before [[Edric Storm]] is secretly shipped away, Davos reminds them that when Maester Cressen attempted to kill Melisandre she knew at once.{{Ref|ASOS|54}}

===''A Feast for Crows''===
In [[Oldtown]], the elderly Archmaester [[Walgrave]] sometimes confuses the novice [[Pate (novice)|Pate]] with Cressen.{{Ref|AFFC|Prologue}}

==Quotes by Cressen==

{{Quote|Talking [[gargoyle]]s and [[red comet|prophecies in the sky]]. I am an old done man, grown giddy as a child again. Had a lifetime's hard-won wisdom fled him along with his health and strength? He was a maester, trained and chained in the great [[Citadel]] of [[Oldtown]]. What had he come to, when superstition filled his head as if he were an ignorant fieldhand?{{Ref|ACOK|Prologue}}|thoughts of Cressen}}

{{Quote|When a [[maester]] donned his collar, he put aside the hope of children, yet Cressen had oft felt a father nonetheless. [[Robert I Baratheon|Robert]], [[Stannis Baratheon|Stannis]], [[Renly Baratheon|Renly]] ... three sons he had raised after [[Shipbreaker Bay|the angry sea]] claimed Lord [[Steffon Baratheon|Steffon]]. Had he done so ill that now he must watch one kill the other? He could not allow it, would not allow it.{{Ref|ACOK|Prologue}}|thoughts of Cressen}}

{{Quote|'''Melisandre''': Now here is a riddle. A clever [[fool]] and a foolish [[maesters|wise man]]. A crown to match your chain, Lord Maester.<br>

==Quotes about Cressen==
{{Quote|'''Davos''': My liege, [[Pylos]] is pleasant enough, but I cannot see the chain about his neck without mourning for Maester Cressen.<br>
'''Stannis''': Is it his fault the old man died? I never wanted Cressen at that feast. He'd angered me, yes, he'd given me bad counsel, but I did not want him dead. I'd hoped he might be granted a few years of ease and comfort. He had earned that much, at least, but—but he died. And Pylos serves me ably.{{Ref|ACOK|10}}|[[Davos Seaworth]] and [[Stannis Baratheon]]}}

{{Quote|Arys, my sweet knight, why did you do it? You should have yielded. I tried to tell you, but the words caught in my mouth. You gallant fool, I never meant for you to die, or for [[Myrcella Baratheon|Myrcella]]...{{Ref|AFFC|40}}|thoughts of [[Arianne Martell]]}}

{{Quote|Did he charge at [[Areo Hotah]] in hopes of saving me? Or did he do it to escape me, to wash out his dishonor with his life's blood?{{Ref|AFFC|40}}|thoughts of [[Arianne Martell]]}}

==Behind the Scenes==
In an early draft of ''[[A Feast for Crows]]'', Arys was supposed to survive his encounter with [[Areo Hotah]], and Ser [[Boros Blount]], another Kingsguard, was supposed to die. [[George R. R. Martin]] later changed his mind as Boros is still alive by the end of ''[[A Dance with Dragons]]'' and Arys dies in the published version of ''A Feast for Crows''.<ref>Reddit: [https://www.reddit.com/r/asoiaf/comments/g37aln/spoilers_extended_we_might_not_have_twow_yet_but/fomihc3/] Comment from Elio Garcia (April 26, 2020)</ref>

Arys's name is once misspelled as "Aerys" in ''[[A Clash of Kings]]''.{{Ref|ACOK|65}}

'''Daemon Sand''', known as the '''Bastard of Godsgrace''', is the [[bastard]] son of Ser [[Ryon Allyrion]], the heir of [[House Allyrion]]. The [[knight]] is one of [[Dorne]]'s finest swords.<ref name="twow-arianne">''[[The Winds of Winter]]'', [[Arianne I (The Winds of Winter)|Arianne I]]</ref>

==Appearance==
{{See also|:Category:Images of Daemon Sand|l1=Images of Daemon Sand}}
Daemon is handsome, with a strong jaw, sky blue eyes, and light sandy brown hair. He has a close-cropped beard, and dimples appear when he smiles.<ref name="twow-arianne"/>

Daemon is tall and gallant on horseback.<ref name="twow-arianne"/>

==History==
Daemon is not much older than Princess [[Arianne Martell]].<ref name="twow-arianne"/> He took her [[maidenhead]] when they were both fourteen years old,{{Ref|aFfC|13}} and their couplings had been both clumsy and ardent. Arianne recalls that it had been sweet.<ref name="twow-arianne"/> Although her father [[Doran Martell|Doran]], [[Prince of Dorne]], eventually learned of this, he did not react to it.{{Ref|aFfC|13}} Daemon asked Doran for Arianne's hand, but was refused,{{Ref|aFfC|40}} and relations between Daemon and Arianne were not the same after.<ref name="twow-arianne"/>

Daemon [[squire]]d for Prince [[Oberyn Martell]],{{Ref|aFfC|24}} and received his [[knight]]hood from the Red Viper himself.<ref name="twow-arianne"/> There are rumors he also became Oberyn's lover, though this is seldom said to his face.<ref name="twow-arianne"/>

==Recent Events==
===''A Storm of Swords''===
[[File:Daemon Sand by Yapattackn.jpg|thumb|350px|Ser Daemon Sand, the Bastard of Godsgrace, by Yapattack ©]]
Ser Daemon is part of the nobles and knights that accompany Prince [[Oberyn Martell]] to [[King's Landing]] to take his place on the [[small council]], as had been negotiated by Oberyn's brother, [[Doran Martell|Doran]].{{ref|asos|38}} When Oberyn champions [[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion's]] cause in a [[trial by combat]], Daemon and Lord [[Dagos Manwoody]] attend the Red Viper.{{ref|asos|70}}

{{Warning/twow}}
[[File:Arianne Elia and Daemon by mylestoyne.jpg|thumb|350px|Daemon accompanies [[Arianne Martell]] and her cousin [[Elia Sand]], by mylestoyne ©]]
Daemon becomes the [[sworn shield]] to Princess [[Arianne Martell]], traveling with her and her companions to the [[Stormlands]] to meet with Lord [[Jon Connington]] and the alleged Prince [[Aegon Targaryen (Young Griff)|Aegon Targaryen]]. On the way to [[Ghost Hill]], Daemon informs Arianne what he knows of Jon Connington. At Ghost Hill, Arianne attempts to seduce Daemon, but he rejects her, as Doran had considered his bastard status unworthy of her hand. Instead, they talk of whether Aegon could be who he claims to be, an idea that Daemon rejects. From Ghost Hill, Arianne and her companions sail across the [[Sea of Dorne]] to [[Cape Wrath]]. Aboard the ''[[Peregrine]]'', Daemon defeats Arianne in a game of ''[[cyvasse]]'', and mocks her strategy. Arianne is frustrated by the fact that Prince Doran assigned Daemon as her shield, despite knowing of their history together.<ref name=twow-arianne/>

At [[Weeping Town]], Daemon gathers rumors for Arianne. From there, the company sets out for [[Mistwood]], traveling by horse through the [[rainwood]]. They take shelter from the rain in a cave, and Arianne loses another game of cyvasse to Daemon. They are about to sleep when Arianne realizes that her cousin, [[Elia Sand]], has not returned from exploring the cave. Daemon accompanies Arianne while the company searches for Elia, and they discover carvings of the [[children of the forest]] on the cave walls. The others find Elia, and after Arianne berates her, she asks Daemon why Doran inflicted the wild girl on her. Daemon jokingly suggests that perhaps it was revenge. From Mistwood, they are escorted by members of the [[Golden Company]] to [[Griffin's Roost]], and Arianne overhears that the [[sellsword]]s plan to take [[Storm's End]]. Both she and Daemon are perplexed why they would do so, but soon realize taking a great stronghold would make the realm consider Connington and his pretender more seriously. At Griffin's Roost, [[Haldon Halfmaester]] informs Arianne that they have taken Storm's End, and they will bring her there by ship the next morning. Daemon advises Arianne to refuse them, and send him to Storm's End in her stead, so that if Lord [[Mace Tyrell]] recaptures the castle, he will be considered just some knight, and there will be no proof that Dorne conspired with the pretender. However, Arianne reminds him that Doran entrusted her with the task of discovering the truth about Aegon, and she will go.<ref name="twow-arianne2">''[[The Winds of Winter]]'', [[Arianne I (The Winds of Winter)|Arianne II]]</ref>

Mero flees during the [[Battle of Yunkai]] and hides among the refugees and freedmen that follow Daenerys to [[Meereen]], shaving his beard to disguise his appearance.

Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)

2024-08-04T16:55:28Z

Scafloc:

__NOTOC__
{{Hatnote|Due to editing issues caused by the length of the calculations, the list is divided into four pages. Use the navigation box, or navigate here to [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages|page 1]], [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)|page 2]] or [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)|page 3]]. You are currently on page 4.}}
{{Calculations Policy}}

In the main series and novellas, [[George R.R. Martin]] on most occasions does not state specifically in which year a character has been born or has died. This page lists the calculations to determine such years, years of birth mostly, but also years of death at times, as specific as is possible, for all characters for all this is possible.
This information then can be used in articles and serves to give a more complete image of the world of ''A Song of Ice and Fire''.

The following guidelines are used for the calculations:
#A character, both male and female, will be at least 12 years old at the birth of his or her first born child, for the following reason: a girl who has had her first [[flowering]] (i.e. first menstruation) is considered to be fit for both marriage and consummation of the marriage.{{Ref|ACOK|52}} Most highborn girls have their first flowering at the age of twelve or thirteen,{{Ref|AGOT|67}} indicating twelve as the youngest a girl can be for getting pregnant, and, as such, give birth. For boys, the same minimum age is used. Furthermore, we are given the precedence of the age of twelve for both males and females: the daughter of [[Unwin Peake]] died in childbirth at the age of twelve,{{Ref|FAB|Under the Regents - War and Peace and Cattle Shows}} while [[Viserys II Targaryen]] impregnated [[Larra Rogare|his wife]] at the age of twelve.{{Ref|FAB|The Lysene Spring and the End of Regency}}
#Siblings are assumed to be at least one year apart in age, taking into consideration that a woman who has just given birth will not immediately become pregnant again. This is only when discussing full-blood siblings. For siblings with the same father, but with a different mother, no such recovery period is required.
#Where historic works are concerned which have been written by maesters, or sources recited from works written by maesters, it can be assumed that the age of a character stated in a year is the age that character would be turning that year. For example, Maegor I Targaryen was born in 12 AC. In historic works, his age in the year 25 AC will be stated as thirteen (the age he would be turning that year), without the author taking into account whether or not the described event took place before or after Maegor's nameday.<ref>asoiaf.westeros.org: [TWOIAF Spoilers] Inconsistency or Intentional? - [https://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/topic/119534-twoiaf-spoilers-inconsistency-or-intentional/page-18#entry6434723 Clarification]</ref> This goes for historical works (i.e. ''[[The Sons of the Dragon]]'', ''[[The Rogue Prince]]'', ''[[The Princess and the Queen]]'', ''[[Fire & Blood]]'', and ''[[The World of Ice & Fire]]''), not for POV-information, like ''A Game of Thrones'' and its sequels, or ''The Hedge Knight'', and other tales of Dunk & Egg. Do note that on some occasions, this rule might not apply.
#The following minimum ages for pages, squires, and knights are used, based on an overview of known ages:
##Boys are considered to be at least six years old when becoming a page.<ref>asoiaf.westeros.org: The Wiki-Timeline Project [Calculations] - [https://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?/topic/113885-the-wiki-timeline-project-calculations/&page=3#comment-6686954 Minimum age for pages]</ref>
##Boys are considered to be at least eight years old when becoming a squire.<ref>asoiaf.westeros.org: The Wiki-Timeline Project [Calculations] - [https://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?/topic/113885-the-wiki-timeline-project-calculations/&page=3#comment-6686954 Minimum age for squires]</ref>
##Men are considered to be at least fifteen years old when becoming a knight.<ref>asoiaf.westeros.org: The Wiki-Timeline Project [Calculations] - [https://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?/topic/113885-the-wiki-timeline-project-calculations/&page=3#comment-6686954 Minimum age for knights]</ref>
#A mother will be no older than ~52 years old at the earliest possibility for the birth of her youngest child, for the following reason: the Westerosi consider the age of forty-two to be "past [a woman's] childbearing years", and forty-four to be "well past her childbearing years",{{Ref|FAB|The Year of the Three Brides - 49 AC}}{{Ref|FAB|Birth, Death, and Betrayal Under King Jaehaerys I}}{{Ref|FAB|The Long Reign - Jaehaerys and Alysanne: Policy, Progeny, and Pain}} although women of forty-four have been known to give birth to a child.{{Ref|FAB|Birth, Death, and Betrayal Under King Jaehaerys I}}{{Ref|FAB|The Long Reign - Jaehaerys and Alysanne: Policy, Progeny, and Pain}} In real-life, the end of a woman's fertile cycle (menopause) occurs at an age of 49-52 on average, giving ~52 as a maximum age for giving birth to a child.

The characters are listed alphabetically, using full names. Maesters (like [[Aemon Targaryen (son of Maekar I)|Aemon]]), will also be listed alphabetically under their birth names, unless those are not known.

Names that belong to several characters (for example, the name Walder Frey) will be listed alphabetically, but will have their nickname or relations listed in parentheses, so they can be distinguished from one another.

For calculations on placings of events, see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Events|Calculations of Events]].

{{Alphabetized Navigation}}

==Ramsay Bolton==
===Birth===
[[Ramsay Bolton]] was born when Rickard Stark was still Lord of Winterfell.{{Ref|ADWD|32}} This places Ramsay's birth in {{Date|282}} the latest. No further specifications can be given.

==Raya Stark==
===Birth===
[[Raya Stark]] would have been at least one year younger than her older sister, Alys.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} Alys had been born no earlier than {{Date|134}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages #Alys Stark|Alys Stark]])'', meaning that Raya could not have been born any earlier than 135 AC.

Raya would have been at least one year older than her younger sister, Mariah Stark.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} As the latest possible year of birth for Mariah is 165 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Mariah Stark|Mariah Stark]])'', Raya would have been born no later than 164 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Raya was thus born in or between {{Date|135}} and {{Date|164}}.

==Raymont Baratheon==
{{Notice/Raymont Baratheon}}
===Birth===
[[Raymont Baratheon]] was a younger son of Lord [[Orys Baratheon]] and his wife Lady [[Argella Durrandon]].<ref group="N">''The World of Ice & Fire'' does not specify which Lord Baratheon is Raymont's father. However, ''Fire & Blood'' clarifies that Raymont is a son of Orys, as the sons of the Lord Baratheon that succeeded Orys are all named.</ref> Raymont's parents married at some time after the battle known as the [[Last Storm]] (during [[Aegon's Conquest]]){{Ref|FAB|Aegon's Conquest}}. As the Conquest began in 2 BC,{{Ref|FAB|Aegon's Conquest}} Orys's first son couldn't be born any earlier than 2 BC. Since there was at least one year between the birth of Raymont and his brother, Raymont couldn't be born any earlier than 1 BC.

Raymont was a member of the Kingsguard in {{Date|41}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Stormlands: The Men of the Stormlands}} At the age of fifteen, Jaime Lannister was the youngest to join the Kingsguard ever,{{Ref|ASOS|11}}{{Ref|AFFC|16}} indicating Raymont was ''at least'' sixteen years old when he joined the Kingsguard. As 41 AC is the year of the first mention of Raymont being a Kingsguard knight, he was ''at least'' sixteen years old in 41 AC, though possibly older. This means that Raymont Baratheon was born at the latest in 25 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Raymont was thus born in or between {{Date|-1}} and {{Date|25}}.

===Death===
[[Raymont Baratheon]] was a member of the [[Kingsguard]] by 41 AC.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Stormlands: The Men of the Stormlands}} He was not among the seven Kingsguard knights of Maegor I Targaryen in 48 AC.{{Ref|TSotD}} As the Kingsguard serve for life{{Ref|ASOS|12}}{{Ref|ASOS|44}} and Raymont is not one of Maegor's Seven, this implies he had died by 48 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Raymont thus died in or between {{Date|41}} and {{Date|48}}.

==Raymund Frey==
===Birth===
[[Raymund Frey]] is the youngest child of Amarei Crakehall.{{Ref|ACOK|Appendix}}{{Ref|ASOS|Appendix}}{{Ref|AFFC|Appendix}}{{Ref|ADWD|Appendix}} Amarei died before Catelyn Tully was born.{{Ref|AGOT|59}} Catelyn Tully was born in either 264 AC or 265 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Catelyn Tully|Catelyn Tully]])'', making 265 AC the last possible moment for Raymund to have been born.

Raymund's older brother Merrett was born in {{Date|262}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Merrett Frey|Merrett Frey]])''. After Merrett came Geremy and Raymund. Geremy and Raymund have not been mentioned to have been twins, indicating they were born at least one year apart. With Merret's birth in 262 AC, and with at least one year between Merrett and Geremy, and with at least one year between Geremy and Raymund, Merrett and Raymund will be at least two years apart in age, meaning that Raymund cannot have been born before 264 AC.

No further specification can be given. Raymund Frey was thus born in either {{Date|264}} or {{Date|265}}.

==Raynald Westerling==
===Birth===
[[Raynald Westerling]] is the older brother of Jeyne Westerling,{{Ref|ASOS|Appendix}} who was born in 283 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Jeyne Westerling|Jeyne Westerling]])''. This means that one year earlier, 282 AC, is the last possible year of birth for Raynald.

No further specifications can be given. Raynald was thus born in or before {{Date|282}}.

==Red Lamb==
===Birth===
The [[Red Lamb]] is part of a group of young former slaves in training with Ser Barristan Selmy. According to Barristan, his lads are between the age of eight and twenty in 300 AC.{{Ref|ADWD|55}}
Being twenty in 300 AC gives the following options:
* 19 turning 20 in 300 AC, placing their birth in 280 AC
* 20 turning 21 in 300 AC, placing their birth in 279 AC

Barristan knights the Red Lamb,{{Ref|ADWD|70}} thus he is at least fifteen in 300 AC.
Being fifteen in 300 AC gives the following options:
* 14 turning 15 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 285 AC
* 15 turning 16 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 284 AC

No further specifications can be given. The Red Lamb was thus born in or between {{Date|279}} and {{Date|285}}.

==Renly Baratheon==
===Birth===
[[Renly Baratheon]] is estimated by Sansa Stark to have been "near twenty" years old in {{Date|298}},{{Ref|AGOT|15}} and is known to have been twenty-one years old in {{Date|299}}.{{Ref|ACOK|Prologue}}{{Ref|ACOK|22}}{{Ref|AFFC|37}} Being twenty-one years old in 299 AC gives the following options:
* 20 turning 21 in 299 AC, placing his birth in 278 AC
* 21 turning 22 in 299 AC, placing his birth in 277 AC

According to a semi-canon source, Renly was "a boy of six at the time of Robert's Rebellion".{{Ref|AWOIAF|Renly Baratheon}} Robert's Rebellion took place in the latter part of {{Date|282}} and a large part of {{Date|283}}. Having been six years old during the war, would give Renly the following options:
* 5 turning 6 in 282 AC, placing his birth in 276 AC
* 6 turning 7 in 282 AC, placing his birth in 275 AC
* 5 turning 6 in 283 AC, placing his birth in 277 AC
* 6 turning 7 in 283 AC, placing his birth in 276 AC

The only overlapping year between the two sets of possibilities is 277 AC, meaning that Renly was twenty-one turning twenty-two in 299 AC, and five turning six in 283 AC, and that he was born in {{Date|277}}.

'' '''Note:''' Eddard Stark mentions that Renly had been a boy of eight when Robert won the throne.{{Ref|AGOT|20}} Renly having been eight years old in 283 AC would give the following options of birth:''
* ''7 turning 8 in 283 AC, placing his birth in 275 AC''
* ''8 turning 9 in 283 AC, placing his birth in 274 AC''

''Eddard's recollection does not align with the several statements of Renly's age as given in {{Date|299}}, where Maester Cressen, Catelyn Tully, and Brienne of Tarth all give Renly's age as twenty-one (with birth options of 277 AC and 278 AC). Considering the closer relationsip of both Cressen and Brienne to Renly, and the fact that their statements are repeated on several occassions, Eddard's recollection of Renly's age at the time of the Rebellion's end appears to be incorrect.''

==Renly Norcross==
===Birth===
[[Renly Norcross]] is two years old in 299 AC.{{Ref|ASOS|Appendix}} He is three years old in 300 AC.{{Ref|AFFC|Appendix}} That gives Renly the following options:
* 1 turning 2 in 299 AC, and 2 turning 3 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 297 AC
* 2 turning 3 in 299 AC, and 3 turning 4 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 296 AC

No further specifications can be given. Renly was thus born in either {{Date|296}} or {{Date|297}}.

==Rhae Targaryen==
===Birth===
[[Rhae Targaryen]] was younger than her brother Aegon, who was born in {{Date|200}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Aegon V Targaryen|Aegon V Targaryen]])''. That means that Rhae was born no earlier than one year later, in 201 AC.

Rhae's mother had died by the time of the Tourney at Ashford in {{Date|209}}.{{Ref|THK}} So technically, 209 AC is Rhae's last possible moment of birth.

No further specifications can be given. Rhae was thus born in or between {{Date|201}} and {{Date|209}}.

'' '''Note:''' That neither Maekar, nor Daeron, Aerion or Aegon are still in deep mourning over their mother, would indicate that Dyanna Dayne had been dead for at least a while. A second indication is that Rhae was old enough, at some point in or before 209 AC, to put a love potion in the drink of her brother Aegon, suggesting she was born closer to 201 AC than to 209 AC.''

==Rhaegar Frey==
===Birth===
[[Rhaegar Frey]] would have been at least twelve years old when his eldest child, Robert, was born. Robert was born in {{Date|286}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Robert Frey (son of Rhaegar)|Robert Frey (son of Rhaegar)]])'', meaning Rhaegar was born the latest twelve years prior to 286 AC, in 274 AC.

Rhaegar was the second born son of Aenys Frey. Aenys was born no earlier than 237 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Aenys Frey|Aenys Frey]])'', meaning that Rhaegar cannot have been born earlier than thirteen years later, in 250 AC.

However, according to Davos Seaworth, Rhaegar is thirty years old at the maximum, or close to thirty years old.{{Ref|ADWD|19}} Being 30 years old in 300 AC (with thus as a maximum being 30 turning 31 in 300 AC) would place Rhaegars birth in 269 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Rhaegar was thus born in or between {{Date|269}} and {{Date|274}}.

==Rhaegel Targaryen==
===Birth===
[[Rhaegel Targaryen]] was the thirdborn son of Daeron II. He was born at least two years after his eldest brother Baelor, who was born in {{Date|170}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Baelor Targaryen (son of Daeron II)|Baelor Targaryen (son of Daeron II)]])''. This would make the year 172 AC the first possible birth year of Rhaegel.

However, Rhaegel's aunt, Daenerys, was born in {{Date|172}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Daenerys Targaryen (daughter of Aegon IV)|Daenerys Targaryen (daughter of Aegon IV)]])''. As Daenerys was born ''before'' Rhaegel's older brother Aerys, Aerys could thus have been born in 172 AC the earliest (later in the year than Daenerys), meaning that Rhaegel’s first possible year of birth is a year later, in 173 AC.

Rhaegel was born at least one year before his brother Maekar. Maekar's last possible year of birth was 179 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Maekar I Targaryen|Maekar I Targaryen]])'', meaning that Rhaegel was born no later than 178 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Rhaegel was thus born in or between {{Date|173}} and {{Date|178}}.

==Rhaella Targaryen==
===Birth===
[[Rhaella Targaryen]]'s firstborn child Rhaegar was born in {{Date|259}}. She would have been at least twelve years old at his birth, meaning that she was born no later than 247 AC.

Rhaella is known to have been younger than her brother Aerys.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Targaryen Lineage}} Aerys was eighteen years old when he ascended the throne in {{Date|262}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II}} That would mean that Rhaella was seventeen years old, or younger, in 262 AC, placing her birth in 245 AC or later.

No further specification can be given. Rhaella was thus born in either {{Date|245}}, {{Date|246}} or {{Date|247}}.

===Death===
[[Rhaella Targaryen]] died when giving birth to Daenerys Targaryen. Daenerys was born in 284 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Daenerys Targaryen|Daenerys Targaryen]])''.

Rhaella thus died in {{Date|284}}.

==Rhaelle Targaryen==
===Birth===
[[Rhaelle Targaryen]] was the youngest child of Aegon V.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Targaryen Lineage}} Rhaelle's first elder sibling, Prince Daeron, was born in {{Date|228}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Daeron Targaryen (son of Aegon V)|Daeron Targaryen (son of Aegon V)]])''. This means that Rhaelle was born in 229 AC the earliest.

Rhaelle's firstborn (and possibly only) son was born in {{Date|246}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Stormlands: House Baratheon}} Rhaelle would have been at least twelve years old at his birth, placing her birth no later than 234 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Rhaelle was thus born in or between {{Date|229}} and {{Date|234}}.

===Death===
[[Rhaelle Targaryen]] gave birth to [[Steffon Baratheon]] in 246 AC.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Stormlands: House Baratheon}}

No further specifications can be given. Rhaelle thus died in {{Date|246}} or after.

==Rhaena Targaryen (daughter of Aegon III)==
===Birth===
[[Rhaena Targaryen (daughter of Aegon III)|Rhaena Targaryen]] was two years younger than her sister Daena,<ref name=Tower>[[So Spake Martin]]: [https://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/Three_Maidens_in_the_Tower Three Maidens in the Tower (June 27, 2006)]</ref> who was born in {{Date|145}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Daena Targaryen|Daena Targaryen]])''. This places Rhaena's birth in {{Date|147}}.

===Death===
[[Rhaena Targaryen (daughter of Aegon III)|Rhaena Targaryen]]'s claim to the Iron Throne was passed over after the death of King Baelor I in 171 AC.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Viserys II}}

No further specifications can be given. Rhaena thus died in {{Date|171}} or after.

==Rhaenys Targaryen==
===Birth===
[[Rhaenys Targaryen]] has been mentioned to have been “a year or two” younger than her brother Aegon, <ref name=TargDescrip>[[So Spake Martin]]: [https://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/More_Targaryen_Descriptions/ More Targaryen Descriptions (December 24, 2005)]</ref> who has been mentioned to have been born in {{Date|-27}}.{{Ref|AWOIAF}} This means that Rhaenys was born in either {{Date|-26}} or {{Date|-25}}.

==Rickard Redwyne==
===Birth===
[[Rickard Redwyne]] was knighted in 55 AC.{{Ref|FAB|Jaehaerys and Alysanne - Their Triumphs and Tragedies}} Rickard having been knighted in 55 AC means that he was at least fifteen years old by then. This places his birth no later than 40 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Rickard was thus born in or before {{Date|40}}.

==Rickard Stark==
===Birth===
[[Rickard Stark]]'s eldest son Brandon was born in {{Date|262}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II}} Rickard would have been at least twelve years old when Brandon was born, meaning that Rickard cannot have been born later than 250 AC.

Grand Maester Pycelle tells Rickard's son Ned that King Maekar's summer took place before Rickard was born. King Maekar ruled from {{Date|221}} until {{Date|233}}, and this summer lasted seven years during his reign.{{Ref|AGOT|25}} The winter that followed this summer began in {{Date|231}},{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon V}} though it is unknown how long the autumn had lasted. The autumn is mentioned to have been short, by Pycelle,{{Ref|AGOT|25}} however, suggesting one, perhaps one and a half years, compared to other autumns.
Thus, the summer ended in 230/231 AC. This shows that Rickard Stark, Ned's father, was born no earlier than 230 AC. However, since it is stated that the summer had been long forgotten,{{Ref|AGOT|25}} it suggests that at the time of Rickards birth, the winter following Maekar's summer had already begun, or there had been several other years that had passed as well, meaning that Rickard most likely had been born no earlier than several years after 230 AC, though no specificity can be given on how many years after 230 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Rickard Stark was thus born in or between {{Date|230}} and {{Date|250}}.

==Rickard Wylde==
===Birth===
[[Rickard Wylde]] has been mentioned to have been four years old in {{Date|299}}{{Ref|ACOK|Appendix}} and in {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|AFFC|Appendix}} Being four years old in both 299 AC and 300 AC means he was 3 turning 4 in 299 AC, and 4 turning 5 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 295 AC.

Rickard was thus born in {{Date|295}}.

==Rickon Stark==
===Birth===
[[Rickon Stark]] was three years old when the direwolves are found{{Ref|AGOT|2}} and during the welcoming feast at Winterfell.{{Ref|AGOT|5}} Both events occur in {{Date|298}}, giving the following options:
* 2 turning 3 in 298 AC, 3 turning 4 in 299 AC, 4 turning 5 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 295 AC
* 3 turning 4 in 298 AC, 4 turning 5 in 299 AC, 5 turning 6 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 294 AC

Rickon was “near four” when Robb left for war,{{Ref|AGOT|53}} and he was four when the news of Ned's death reached Winterfell. Rickon was still four when Theon Greyjoy attacked Winterfell. After the Sack of Winterfell Rickon is still four.{{Ref|ASOS|Appendix}} In 300 AC, Rickon is still four years old.{{Ref|AFFC|Appendix}} This shows that the only correct option for Rickon is 3 turning 4 in 299 AC, placing his birth in 295 AC.

Rickon was thus born in {{Date|295}}.

==Rickon Stark (son of Benjen)==
===Birth===
[[Rickon Stark (son of Benjen)|Rickon Stark]]'s son Cregan was born in {{Date|108}} ''(See [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Cregan Stark|Cregan Stark]])''. As Rickon would have been at least twelve years old at the birth of his son, Rickon had thus been born no later than 96 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Rickon was thus born in or before {{Date|96}}.

==Robar Royce==
===Birth===
[[Robar Royce]] is of an age with Renly Baratheon.{{Ref|ACOK|31}} Renly was born in 277 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Renly Baratheon|Renly Baratheon]])''. This means that Robar was born roughly speaking around {{Date|277}}, though he might have been born a year or two earlier or later.

==Robard Cerwyn==
===Birth===
[[Robard Cerwyn]] had at least one child.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} The child could not have been born later than the year after his death. Robard died no later than 298 AC, so the child was born no later than 299 AC. Robard would have been at least 12 years old at the birth, so he was born no later than {{Date|287}}.

===Death===
Robard was married to [[Aregelle Stark]], with whom he had at least one child.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} Robard cannot have died earlier than the year before the child was born. Aregelle, born no earlier than 154 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Aregelle Stark|Aregelle Stark]])'', would have been at least 12 years old at childbirth. Therefore the child was born no earlier than 166 AC, and Robard died no earlier than 165 AC.

Robard was Lord of Cerwyn.<ref>asoiaf.westeros.org: [https://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?/topic/152844-the-wiki-timeline-project-v2/&page=5&tab=comments#comment-8495418 The Wiki-Timeline Project v2 – Comment by Ran (March 16, 2020)]</ref> By 298 AC, [[Medger Cerwyn]] was the lord,{{Ref|AGOT|53}} so Robard died no later than 298 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Robard thus died in or between {{Date|165}} and {{Date|298}}.

==Robb Stark==
===Birth===
[[Robb Stark]] is fourteen years old in {{Date|298}}.{{Ref|AGOT|6}} He has turned fifteen at an unknown moment in time.{{Ref|AGOT|37}} Robb Stark is mentioned to have turned sixteen in {{Date|299}} (this remark is made after the ploy to free Jaime Lannister, created by Tyrion Lannister, has been tried and failed; Tyrion Lannister made the ploy on the day of Joffrey's thirteenth nameday, an event known to take place in {{Date|299}}; the remark is also made before the Purple Wedding, which takes place on the first day of {{Date|300}}).{{Ref|ACOK|55}} This means that Robb was 15 turning 16 in 299 AC, showing that Robb was born in {{Date|283}}.

===Death===
[[Robb Stark]] dies at the Twins during the Red Wedding. The news of his death reach King's Landing before the wedding of Joffrey Baratheon, which would occur on the first day of 300 AC. This shows that the news of Robb's death reach King's Landing in 299 AC. Robb is sixteen years old upon his death. Since Robb was born in 283 AC, he had turned sixteen in 299 AC.

Robb Stark thus died in {{Date|299}}.

==Robert Arryn==
===Birth===
[[Robert Arryn]] is six years old in {{Date|298}}.{{Ref|AGOT|4}}{{Ref|AGOT|34}}{{Ref|AFFC|41}} Catelyn Tully remarks how she had last seen her sister Lysa, Robert's mother, five years ago. Robert had been less than a year old.{{Ref|AGOT|34}}
With Robert Arryn being less than a year old in {{Date|293}},{{Ref|AGOT|34}} and with him being six years old halfway through {{Date|298}},{{Ref|AGOT|4}}{{Ref|AGOT|34}} and eight in early {{Date|300}},{{Ref|ASOS|68}}{{Ref|AFFC|10}} gives the following option:
* 8 in 300 AC gives:
** 8 turning 9, placing his birth in 291 AC
** 7 turning 8, placing his birth in 292 AC
* 6 in 298 AC gives:
** 6 turning 7, placing his birth in 291 AC
** 5 turning 6, placing his birth in 292 AC
* Less than 1 in 293 AC gives:
** Born in 293 AC
** Turning 1 in 293 AC, placing his birth in 292 AC
With 292 AC as the only overlapping year, Robert Arryn was thus born in {{Date|292}}.

==Robert Blackwood==
===Birth===
[[Robert Blackwood]] is at least one year younger than his older sister, Bethany Blackwood,{{Ref|ADWD|Appendix}} who was born in either 291 or 292 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Bethany Blackwood|Bethany Blackwood]])''. Robert was thus born no earlier than 292 AC.

Since there is at least one year in between the births of the two brothers, Robert could not have been born any later than {{Date|277}}. No further specifications can be given.

==Robert Brax (son of Flement)==
===Birth===
[[Robert Brax (son of Flement)|Robert Brax]] has been mentioned to have been nine years old in {{Date|299}}{{Ref|ACOK|Appendix}} and in {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|AFFC|Appendix}} Being 9 years old in both 299 AC and 300 AC means he was 8 turning 9 in 299 AC, and 9 turning 10 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 290 AC.

Robert was thus born in {{Date|290}}.

==Robert Frey (son of Raymund)==
===Birth===
[[Robert Frey (son of Raymund)|Robert Frey]] has been mentioned to have been sixteen years old in {{Date|299}}{{Ref|ACOK|Appendix}} and in {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|AFFC|Appendix}} Being 16 years old in both 299 AC and 300 AC means he was 15 turning 16 in 299 AC, and 16 turning 17 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 283 AC.

Robert was thus born in {{Date|283}}.

==Robert Frey (son of Rhaegar)==

===Birth===
[[Robert Redwyne]] was the older brother of Rickard Redwyne.{{Ref|FAB|The Long Reign - Jaehaerys and Alysanne: Policy, Progeny, and Pain}} Robert would have been at least one year older than Rickard. As Rickard was born no later than 40 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Rickard Redwyne|Rickard Redwyne]])'', Robert had been born no later than one year earlier, meaning that Robert could not have been born later than 39 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Robert was thus born in or before {{Date|39}}.

==Robert Rowan==
===Birth===
[[Robert Rowan]] was the eldest son of Lord [[Thaddeus Rowan]],{{Ref|FAB|The Lysene Spring and the End of Regency}} who was born in {{Date|76}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Thaddeus Rowan|Thaddeus Rowan]])''. As Thaddeus would have been at least twelve years old at the birth of Robert, Robert could not have been born any earlier than 88 AC.

Robert had been knighted by {{Date|134}}.{{Ref|FAB|The Lysene Spring and the End of Regency}} As he would have been at least fifteen years old at receiving his knighthood, he could not have been born any later than 119 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Robert was thus born in between {{Date|88}} and {{Date|119}}.

==Robin Greyjoy==
===Birth===
[[Robin Greyjoy]] was the ninth son of Quellon Greyjoy.{{Ref|AFFC|1}} He would have been at least nine months younger than his older brother Aeron, Quellon's eighth son. As Aeron and Robin have different mothers,{{Ref|AFFC|1}} following rule #2, it is possible that they were born in the same year. Aeron was born in 269 AC the earliest ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Aeron Greyjoy|Aeron Greyjoy]])'', indicating that Robin cannot have been born any earlier than that same year, thus 269 AC as well.

Robin did not live to manhood,{{Ref|AFFC|16}} and thus died before turning sixteen. When his mother, of House Piper, died, she was pregnant with a daughter. This daughter thus would have been at least one year younger than Robin. The girl cannot have been conceived any later than when their father left the Iron Islands on his final voyage, in {{Date|283}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Iron Islands: The Old Way and the New}} With her last possible moment of conception in 283 AC, her last possible year of birth will have been 284 AC, nine months later. This means that Robin cannot have been born any later that one year before, in 283 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Robin was thus born in or between {{Date|269}} and {{Date|283}}.

==Robin Penrose==
===Birth===
[[Robin Penrose]] was the eldest child of Ronnel Penrose and Elaena Targaryen.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Targaryen Lineage}} As the marriage of Elaena and Ronnel both began and ended during the reign of King Daeron II ({{Date|184|209}}){{Ref|AGOT|Appendix}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}} Robin could have been born in 184 AC the earliest.

As Robin's mother Elaena was born in {{Date|150}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Elaena Targaryen|Elaena Targaryen]])'', she would have reached the end of her child-bearing years near {{Date|200}}, when she turned 50. Robin was the first of four children of Ronnel and Elaena, indicating that he could not have been born any later than roughly 197 AC, when Elaena was 47 years old.

Given that Jeyne is known not to have been one of Rodrik's daughters, Rodrik had thus predeceased Jeyne's father. As such, by the time Jeyne's father died, Rodrik had already been dead. As Rodrik could have died the same year as Jeyne's father, Rodrik died no later than 97 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Rodrik thus died in or between {{Date|82}} and {{Date|97}}.

==Rodrik Cassel==

As it is possible than Barthogan, Brandon, and Rodwell had all died during the same year, 184 AC is also the first possible year of death for Rodwell.

Rodwell's successor and younger brother, [[Beron Stark]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} is the Lord of Winterfell during the events of ''[[The Mystery Knight]]'' which take place in 212 AC.{{Ref|TMK}}<ref>asoiaf.westeros.org: Small Questions v. 10105 - [https://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?/topic/137792-small-questions-v-10105/&do=findComment&comment=8291361 TMK timeline (January 22, 2019)]</ref> As such, Rodwell had died by 212 AC.

Ronald would have been at least twelve years old during Ronnet's birth, meaning that Ronald will not have been born any later than 262 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Ronald was thus born in or before {{Date|262}}.

===Death===
[[Ronald Connington]] tried to arrange a betrothal between his heir Ronnet and Brienne Tarth, the heir to Tarth.{{Ref|AFFC|27}} At the occasion, Brienne was twelve years old.{{Ref|AFFC|9}} As Brienne was born in {{Date|280}} ''(See [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Brienne of Tarth|Brienne of Tarth]])'', this occurred in either {{Date|292}} or {{Date|293}}. Thus, Ronald could have died no earlier than 292 AC.

In {{Date|300}}, Ronald is said to have died "years ago",{{Ref|ADWD|61}} implying at least a minimum of two years. That would place Ronald's death no later than 298 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Ronald thus died in or between {{Date|292}} and {{Date|298}}.

Ronnel and Elaena had four children,{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Targaryen Lineage}} meaning that Ronnel lived for at least four years during their marriage. This means that Ronnel could not have died prior to 188 AC.

Princess Elaena remarried shortly after Ronnel's death, and received King Daeron's blessing for this marriage, demonstrating that Ronnel died prior to the end of Daeron's reign. Daeron's reign ended in {{Date|209}},{{Ref|AGOT|Appendix}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}} indicating that Ronnel died in or prior to 209 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Ronnel thus died in or between {{Date|188}} and {{Date|209}}.

==Roone==
===Birth===
[[Roone]] is fourteen years old in {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|AFFC|Prologue}} This gives Roone the following options:

It is stated that Roone will turn sixteen in two years from {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|AFFC|Prologue}} This indicates that in {{Date|302}}, Roone will turn sixteen, which would place his birth in 286 AC.

Roone was thus born in {{Date|286}}.

==Roose Bolton==
===Birth===
[[Roose Bolton]] is well past fourty in 300 AC.{{Ref|ADWD|20}} That places his birth before {{Date|260}}. The time of birth of his son [[Domeric Bolton]] was between 273–281 AC<ref name=Calculation>''See the [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Domeric Bolton|Domeric Bolton]] calculation.''</ref> and the fact that Domeric was the son of his second wife makes it more likely that his birth was a number of years before 260.

==Rosamund Darry==
===Birth===
[[Rosamund Darry]] was one of the maidens presented to King Aegon III Targaryen during the Maiden's Day Ball in 133 AC.{{Ref|FAB|Under the Regents - War and Peace and Cattle Shows}} As the maidens were required to be under the age of thirty,{{Ref|FAB|Under the Regents - War and Peace and Cattle Shows}} this means she could not have been born any earlier than 103 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Rosamund was thus born in or between {{Date|103}} and {{Date|133}}.

==Rosey==
===Birth===
[[Rosey]] is fifteen years old in {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|AFFC|Prologue}} This gives Rosey the following options:

==Roslin Frey==
===Birth===
[[Roslin Frey]] is 16 years old at the day of her wedding, in late {{Date|299}}.{{Ref|ASOS|35}} This gives the following options for Roslin:
* 15 turning 16 in 299 AC, placing her birth in 283 AC
* 16 turning 17 in 299 AC, placing her birth in 282 AC

With Roslin still being 16 so very late in the year, it is most likely that Roslin had turned 16 in 299 AC, and was thus born in 283 AC, with a small possibility that Roslin would turn 17 in the last few days of the year, which would place her birth in 282 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Roslin was thus born in either {{Date|282}} or {{Date|283}}.

==Roy Connington==
===Birth===
[[Roy Connington]] was fifteen years old in {{Date|82}}.{{Ref|FAB|The Long Reign - Jaehaerys and Alysanne: Policy, Progeny, and Pain}} As the source for his age concerns a historical work, rule #3 applies, placing Roy's birth in {{Date|67}}.

===Death===
[[Roy Connington]] was sentenced to a 10-year-exile from Westeros in {{Date|84}}, but he died half a year before his exile was supposed to end.{{Ref|FAB|The Long Reign - Jaehaerys and Alysanne: Policy, Progeny, and Pain}} As his exile would have ended in 94 AC, Roy thus died in either the second half of {{Date|93}} or in {{Date|94}}.

==Royce Caron==
===Birth===
[[Royce Caron]] was the father of Lady [[Elenda Baratheon]],{{Ref|FAB|Under the Regents - The Hooded Hand}} who was born at the latest in {{Date|97}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Elenda Caron|Elenda Caron]])''.

==Ryman Frey==
===Birth===
[[Ryman Frey]] is judged to be "past forty" by his young cousins Walder and Walder in {{Date|299}}.{{Ref|ACOK|35}} However. Catelyn Tully judges Ryman's younger brother Aegon to be fifty. According to Catelyn Tully, Aegon Frey is born in roughly ~249 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Aegon Frey (son of Stevron)|Aegon Frey (son of Stevron)]])''. As Aegon and Ryman have different mothers (Jeyne Lydden and Corenna Swann respectively), it is possible they were born in the same year. With 249 AC as Aegon's roughly determined year of birth, Ryman could have been born no later than ~249 AC as well.

With Rymans father Stevron born in 233 AC the earliest ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Stevron Frey|Stevron Frey]])'', Ryman cannot have been born earlier than twelve years later, making 245 AC the first possible year of birth for Ryman.

No further specifications can be given. Ryman was thus born in or between {{Date|245}} and ~{{Date|249}}.

==Rymond Arryn==
===Birth===
[[Rymond Arryn]] was the father of [[Rodrik Arryn]],{{Ref|FAB|Birth, Death, and Betrayal Under King Jaehaerys I}} who was born in {{Date|44}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Rodrik Arryn|Rodrik Arryn]])''. As Rymond would have been at least twelve years old at Rodrik's birth, he was born no later than 32 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Rymond was thus born in or before {{Date|32}}.

==Ryon Allyrion==
===Birth===
[[Ryon Allyrion]] is the father of Ser [[Daemon Sand]],{{Ref|ASOS|38}} who was born at the latest in {{Date|276}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Daemon Sand|Daemon Sand]])''.

Samwell would have been at least twelve years old at the moment of Benjicot's birth, meaning 107 AC is the last possible year of birth for Samwell.

No further specifications can be given. Samwell was thus born in or before {{Date|107}}.

==Samwell Tarly==
===Birth===
[[Samwell Tarly]] is mentioned to have passed his 15th nameday in {{Date|298}}, meaning he is at least fifteen years old in 298 AC. Sam's arrival happens roughly halfway through the year, and he left for Castle Black the day of his fifteenth nameday (and the travel would have taken roughly three to four months if it was completely by horse). This places his fifteenth nameday in 298 AC.

It can also be said Samwell's nameday takes place early in the year, as Samwell is mentioned to have been a man grown by law (thus sixteen years old) in early {{Date|299}}, after the white raven from the Citadel has arrived.{{Ref|ACOK|6}} The white ravens are send out after the Red Comet has appeared in the sky. The Red Comet appears in 299 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Events#298 AC to 299 AC|298 AC to 299 AC]])''.

Sandor was thus born in {{Date|287}}.

==Sansa Stark==
===Birth===
[[Sansa Stark]] is eleven years old in {{Date|298}}{{Ref|AGOT|4}}, and two years older than her sister Arya,{{Ref|AGOT|5}} who was born in {{Date|289}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Arya Stark|Arya Stark]])''. Sansa is twelve in {{Date|299}},{{Ref|ACOK|32}} and tells Tyrion Lannister near the end of the year that she'll turn thirteen “in a moons turn”,{{Ref|ASOS|28}} indicating that maximally a month from that moment on, she'll have turned thirteen. Since this observation is made so close to the beginning of {{Date|300}}, the possibility exists that 300 AC is less than a month away, which gives rise to the possibility that Sansa turns thirteen 300 AC.

The minimum amount of time that passes from the moment of Sansa's statement until the first day of 300 AC can be determined:
* From Sansa's wedding until arrival of the news at Riverrun = 4 day minimum ''(see Note #1)''
* From arrival of the news of Sansa's wedding, until Hoster Tully's funeral = 1 day{{Ref|ASOS|35}}
* From funeral of Hoster Tully until the departude from Riverrun = 1 day (minimum) {{Ref|ASOS|35}}
* A minimum of 19 days traveling from Riverrun to the Twins{{Ref|ASOS|45}}
* From Green Fork to Twins = 1 day minimum{{Ref|ASOS|49}}
* From arrival at the Twins until the Red Wedding = 0 days{{Ref|ASOS|49}}
* From news of Red Wedding until King's Landing = 4 day minimum ''(see Note #1)''

It can be concluded that a minimum of thirty days days pass between Sansa's wedding and Joffrey's wedding to Margaery on the first day of the 300th year After the Conquest, and thus that Sansa turns thirteen in {{Date|299}}, placing her birth in {{Date|286}}.

It should be noted that, when the news of the Red Wedding reaches King's Landing, Joffrey Baratheon believes there is still time for a raven to reach the Twins, and for a rider to return from the Twins to King's Landing with Robb Stark's head, before Joffrey's wedding on the first day of {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|ASOS|53}} This suggests there are still several weeks (about a fortnight) between the news reaching King's Landing, and the beginning of {{Date|300}}, thereby confirming Sansa’s nameday taking place in late {{Date|299}}.

'''''Note #1:''' The minimum of four days travel for the ravens from King's Landing to the Twins and back, is a distance guessed, compared to the distance between Oxcross and King's Landing, and the fact a raven needs 6 days to cross that distance.''

'''''Note #2:''' But Arya and Sansa are said to be two years apart in age, as told from their points of view? Yes, that's true. Looking at Arya and Sansa a bit closer, and the placement of their namedays in the years, we see that Arya's nameday falls in the first few months of the year, while Sansa's nameday thus falls within the last month of the year. Whilst the number of years in between the two girls suggests a gap of three years, with Arya having been born close after the turning of the year, and Sansa close to the turning of the year, the gap in between the two sisters is two years and a few short months, which would then be rounded down to 2 years in speaking terms.''
''This also gives a look in the age differences between Catelyn and Lysa Tully ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Catelyn Tully|Catelyn Tully]] and [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Lysa Tully|Lysa Tully]])''. With Catelyn and Lysa two years apart, Catelyn later admits that she and Lysa are further apart in age than Arya and Sansa, showing that Catelyn and Lysa differ in age between 2 years and a few months, and 2 years and 6 months (since 2,5 years would be rounded up to 3, mathematically speaking).''

==Sansa Stark (daughter of Rickon)==
===Birth===
[[Sansa Stark (daughter of Rickon)|Sansa Stark]] was the eldest daughter of Rickon Stark,<ref name="BirthOrder">[https://discord.com/channels/621728862468046879/713812445692690564/757319992055169174 Serena and Sansa] (September 21, 2020)</ref><ref name="BirthOrder2">asoiaf.westeros.org: [https://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?/topic/34958-the-asoiaf-wiki-thread/&do=findComment&comment=8576838 The ASOIAF wiki thread (September 21, 2020)]</ref> who was born in 128 AC.{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - A Son for a Son}} Rickon would have been at least twelve years old at the moment of Sansa's birth, meaning 140 AC is the earliest year possible for Sansa's birth.

Sansa would have been born at least one year before her younger sister, Serena. Serena was born no later than 162 ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Serena Stark|Serena Stark]])'', meaning that Sansa had been born no later than 161 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Sansa was thus born in or between {{Date|140}} and {{Date|161}}.

===Death===
Lord [[Jonnel Stark]], [[Sansa Stark (daughter of Rickon)|Sansa Stark]]'s husband, married [[Robyn Ryswell]] after the death of Sansa.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}}<ref>asoiaf.westeros.org: [https://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?/topic/152844-the-wiki-timeline-project-v2/&page=5&tab=comments#comment-8495243 The Wiki-Timeline Project v2 – Comment by Ran (March 16, 2020)]</ref> As Jonnel died no later than 209 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Jonnel Stark|Jonnel Stark]])'', Sansa could not have died no later than {{Date|209}}.

No further specifications can be given. Sansa thus died in or before {{Date|209}}.

==Sarella Sand==
===Birth===
[[Sarella Sand]] is described to be nineteen years old during {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|AFFC|Appendix}} That leaves two options for Sarella:
* 18 turning 19 in 300 AC, placing her birth in 281 AC
* 19 turning 20 in 300 AC, placing her birth in 280 AC

No further specifications can be given. Sarella was thus born in either {{Date|280}} or {{Date|281}}.

==Sarra Frey==
===Birth===
[[Sarra Frey]] has been mentioned to have been fourteen years old in {{Date|299}}.{{Ref|ACOK|Appendix}}{{Ref|ASOS|Appendix}} This gives the following options:
* 13 turning 14 in 299 AC, placing her birth in 285 AC
* 14 turning 15 in 299 AC, placing her birth in 284 AC

Sarra's older brother Malwyn was born in 284 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Malwyn Frey|Malwyn Frey]])''. Sarra would have been born at least one year after Malwyn, leaving only the option 285 AC.

Sarra Frey was thus born in {{Date|285}}.

==Sarra Stark==
===Birth===
[[Sarra Stark]] was the eldest child of Lord Cregan Stark by his second wife, Lady Alysanne Blackwood.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} Cregan and Alysanne were married in 132 AC, after the death of Corlys Velaryon on the sixth day of the third moon of 132 AC.{{Ref|FAB|Under the Regents - The Hooded Hand}} Therefore, even if Alysanne became pregnant with Sarra on her wedding night, Sarra could not have been born in 132 AC. As such, the earliest possible year of birth for Sarra is 133 AC.

Sarra would have been at least one year older than her younger sister, Alys Stark.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} As the latest possible year of birth for Alys is 163 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Alys Stark|Alys Stark]])'', Sarra would have been born no later than 162 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Sarra was thus born in or between {{Date|133}} and {{Date|162}}.

==Sarya Whent==
===Death===
[[Sarya Whent]] was the fifth wife of Lord Walder Frey. She died after the death of Walder's fourth wife, Alyssa Blackwood, and before the marriage of Walder and his sixth wife, Bethany Rosby.{{Ref|ACOK|Appendix}} We do not know when Walder married Bethany but we have a range of years for the birth of their first child, Perwyn Frey.{{Ref|ACOK|Appendix}} He was born in or between 269 and 278 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Perwyn Frey|Perwyn Frey]])''. This range is the same as the range of years for the death of Alyssa ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Alyssa Blackwood|Alyssa Blackwood]])''. Therefore the range of years for the death of Sarya is also the same.

No further specifications can be given. Sarya thus died in or between {{Date|269}} and {{Date|278}}.

==Satin==
===Birth===
[[Satin]] claims to be eighteen years old during the attack on Castle Black,{{Ref|ASOS|55}} which occurs in either late {{Date|299}} or early {{Date|300}}. That gives him the following options:
* 17 turning 18 in 299 AC, placing his birth in 281 AC
* 18 turning 19 in 299 AC, placing his birth in 280 AC
* 17 turning 18 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 282 AC
* 18 turning 19 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 281 AC

No further specifications can be given. Satin was thus born in either {{Date|280}}, {{Date|281}} or {{Date|282}}.

==Selwyn Tarth==
===Birth===
[[Selwyn Tarth]] is 54 years old in {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|AFFC|37}} That gives the following options:
* 53 turning 54 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 246 AC
* 54 turning 55 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 245 AC

No further specifications can be given. Selwyn was thus born in either {{Date|245}} or {{Date|246}}.

==Serena Stark==
===Birth===
[[Serena Stark]] was the second daughter of Rickon Stark,<ref name="BirthOrder"/><ref name="BirthOrder2"/> who was born in {{Date|128}}.{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - A Son for a Son}} Serena had an older sister, [[Sansa Stark (daughter of Rickon)|Sansa Stark]]. Sansa had been born no earlier than {{Date|140}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Sansa Stark (daughter of Rickon)|Sansa Stark (daughter of Rickon)]])''. As Serena would have been at least one year younger than Sansa, Serena was thus born no earlier than 141 AC.

Serena's father Rickon died during the [[Conquest of Dorne]] ({{Date|157|161}}).{{Ref|TWOIAF|The North: The Lords of Winterfell}} As Serena could have been born no more than nine months after Rickon's death at the latest, and Rickon died no later than {{Date|161}}, Serena thus could not have been born after 162 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Serena was thus born in or between {{Date|141}} and {{Date|162}}.

===Death===
Serena cannot have died before her youngest child, [[Aregelle Stark]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} was born. Aregelle was born no earlier than 154 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Aregelle Stark|Aregelle Stark]])'', so Serena died no earlier than {{Date|154}}.

==Serenei of Lys==
===Birth===
[[Serenei of Lys]] had one daughter, [[Shiera Seastar]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}} She would have been at least twelve years old at the moment of Shiera's birth. Since 184 AC is the latest possible year of birth for Shiera ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Shiera Seastar|Shiera Seastar]])'', this means that {{Date|172}} is the latest possible year of birth for Serenei.

Following rule #5, Serenei was no older than ~52 years old at the birth of her child, Shiera Seastar,{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}} who was born no earlier than 178 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Shiera Seastar|Shiera Seastar]])''. Therefore Serenei would have been born no earlier than ~126 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Serenei was thus born in or between ~{{Date|126}} and {{Date|172}}.

===Death===
[[Serenei of Lys]] died while giving birth to [[Shiera Seastar]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}} who was born in or between 178 and 184 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Shiera Seastar|Shiera Seastar]])''.

No further specifications can be given. Serenei thus died in or between {{Date|178}} and {{Date|184}}.

==Serra Frey==
===Birth===
[[Serra Frey]] has been mentioned to have been fourteen years old in {{Date|299}}.{{Ref|ACOK|Appendix}}{{Ref|ASOS|Appendix}} This gives the following options:
* 13 turning 14 in 299 AC, placing her birth in 285 AC
* 14 turning 15 in 299 AC, placing her birth in 284 AC

Serra's older brother Malwyn was born in 284 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Malwyn Frey|Malwyn Frey]])''. Serra would have been born at least one year after Malwyn, leaving only the option 285 AC.

Serra Frey was thus born in {{Date|285}}.

==Shae==
===Birth===
[[Shae]] is known to have been eighteen in {{Date|299}}.{{Ref|AGOT|62}}{{Ref|ACOK|3}} That gives her the following options:
* 17 turning 18 in 299 AC, placing her birth in 281 AC
* 18 turning 19 in 299 AC, placing her birth in 280 AC

No further specifications can be given. Shae was thus born in either {{Date|280}} or {{Date|281}}.

==Shaera Targaryen==
===Birth===
[[Shaera Targaryen]] was fourteen years old when she got married in {{Date|240}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon V}} As the source is a historical work, rule #3 applies, meaning that Shaera was turning 14 in 240 AC, placing her birth in {{Date|226}}.

===Death===
The last mention of [[Shaera Targaryen]] is during the reign of King Jaehaerys II, in either late 259 AC, or early 260 AC, at the onset of the War of the Ninepenny Kings.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Jaehaerys II}} That means that Shaera died in either {{Date|259}} or later.

==Sharra Arryn==
===Birth===
[[Sharra Arryn]] was ten years older than Aegon I Targaryen.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Reign of the Dragons: The Conquest}} Aegon I Targaryen was born in {{Date|-27}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Reign of the Dragons: The Conquest}}
That places Sharra's birth in {{Date|-37}}.

==Sheepstealer==
===Birth===
[[Sheepstealer]] was born on [[Dragonstone]] when the Old King [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen]] "was still young",{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - The Red Dragon and the Gold}} which means not earlier than {{Date|34}} (it's unclear if that means in the early years of reign of Jaehaerys, thus in or after {{Date|48}}, or, more generally, during his youth). Furthermore, Sheepstealer was younger than [[Vermithor]], also born in {{Date|34}}, since it is said the Bronze Fury was the oldest and largest fighting dragon after [[Vhagar]] at the time of the [[Dance of the Dragons]].{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - Rhaenyra Triumphant}}{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - Rhaenyra Overthrown}}

No further specifications can be given. Sheepstealer was thus born in or after {{Date|35}}.

===Death===
The last known sighting of Sheepstealer was in {{Date|136}},{{Ref|FAB|The Lysene Spring and the End of Regency}} and the [[last dragon]] died in {{Date|153}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon III}}

No further specifications can be given. Sheepstealer thus died presumably between {{Date|136}} and {{Date|153}}.

==Shiera Crakehall==
===Birth===
[[Shiera Crakehall]]'s eldest child, [[Lucion Lannister]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Lannister Lineage}} was born no later than 285 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Lucion Lannister|Lucion Lannister]])''. Shiera would have been at least 12 years old at the birth, so she was born no later than {{Date|273}}.

==Shiera Seastar==
===Birth===
[[Shiera Seastar]] was the youngest of the Great Bastards. She was born to Serenei of Lys, the last mistress of King Aegon IV. The previous mistress, Jeyne Lothston, had been send from court no earlier than 178 AC. That means that Serenei arrived no earlier than 178 AC, and thus Shiera was born no earlier than 178 AC.

Shiera was born before the death of Aegon IV. Aegon IV died in {{Date|184}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}}{{Ref|AGOT|Appendix}}

No further specifications can be given. Shiera was thus born in or between {{Date|178}} and {{Date|184}}.

'' '''Note:''' Shiera had many suitors, amongst them were her half-brothers, [[Aegor Rivers]] and [[Brynden Rivers]], whose hatred towards each other only increase when Shiera choose Brynden over Aegor.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}} Shiera had to have chosen Brynden over Aegor at some time before Aegor's exile at the end of the First Blackfyre Rebellion in 196 AC. Considering Shiera was sexualy active by her own accord by 196 AC, she would have been born closer to 178 AC than 184 AC.''

===Death===
[[Shiera Seastar]] was still alive in 211 AC.{{Ref|TSS}}

No further specifications can be given. Shiera thus died in {{Date|211}} or after.

==Shireen Baratheon==
===Birth===
[[Shireen Baratheon]] is mentioned in early {{Date|299}} to be turning ten on her next nameday, showing that in early 299 AC, she's still nine years old.{{Ref|ACOK|Prologue}} Shireen was nine years old in 298 AC as well.{{Ref|AGOT|Appendix}} Being nine in 298 AC and 299 AC means that Shireen was 8 turning 9 in 298 AC and 9 turning 10 in 299 AC, placing her birth in {{Date|289}}.

==Shirei Frey==
===Birth===
[[Shirei Frey]] was six years old in {{Date|299}},{{Ref|ACOK|Appendix}}{{Ref|ASOS|51}} and seven years old in {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|AFFC|Appendix}} This gives Shirei the following options:
* 5 turning 6 in 299 AC, and 6 turning 7 in 300 AC, placing her birth in 293 AC
* 6 turning 7 in 299 AC, and 7 turning 8 in 300 AC, placing her birth in 292 AC

No further specifications can be given. Shirei was thus born in either {{Date|292}} or {{Date|293}}.

==Silverwing==
===Birth===
[[Silverwing]] was said to have hatched from a dragon's egg placed in the cradle of Alysanne Targaryen in {{Date|36}}.{{Ref|FAB|The Sons of the Dragon}} Silverwing could thus not have been born earlier than {{Date|36}}.

Silverwing contributed her flames to the funeral pyre of King Aenys I Targaryen in {{Date|42}}.{{Ref|FAB|The Sons of the Dragon}} Thus, Silverwing had been born by {{Date|42}} the latest.

No further specifications can be given. Silverwing was thus born in or between {{Date|36}} and {{Date|42}}.

===Death===
[[Silverwing]] survived the Dance of the Dragons, and was known to be living at Red Lake in the Reach during the plans for the sixteenth nameday progress of King Aegon III Targaryen, which was in {{Date|136}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon III}}{{Ref|FAB|The Lysene Spring and the End of Regency}} Silverwing thus could not have died earlier than {{Date|136}}.

The [[last dragon]] is known to have died in {{Date|153}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon III}} Thus, Silverwing could not have died any later than {{Date|153}}.

No further specifications can be given. Silverwing thus died in or between {{Date|136}} and {{Date|153}}.

==Simon Dondarrion==
===Birth===
[[Simon Dondarrion]] had been knighted by {{Date|55}},{{Ref|FAB|Jaehaerys and Alysanne - Their Triumphs and Tragedies}} meaning that he had the minimum age of 15. This would place his birth in {{Date|40}} or before. No further specifications can be given.

==Stafford Lannister==
===Birth===
[[Stafford Lannister]] was the younger brother of Joanna Lannister, who was born no earlier than 244 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Joanna Lannister|Joanna Lannister]])''. Thus, Stafford was born at least one year later than Joanna, making 245 AC his first possible year of birth.

Stafford is stated to have been a young squire in early {{Date|261}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Westerlands: House Lannister Under the Dragons}} This gives him the minimum age of eight in 261 AC,<ref group="N" name="Squire">Generally, [https://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?/topic/113885-the-wiki-timeline-project-calculations/&page=3#comment-6686954 boys seem to be at least 8 years old when becoming a squire], though they can also be older.</ref> placing his birth no later than 253 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Stafford was thus born in or between {{Date|245}} and {{Date|253}}.

==Stannis Baratheon==
===Birth===
[[Stannis Baratheon]] was 34 years old in the early months of {{Date|299}}.{{Ref|ACOK|Prologue}} This gives two options for Stannis:
* 33 turning 34 in 299 AC, placing his birth in 265 AC
* 34 turning 35 in 299 AC, placing his birth in 264 AC

In addition, we have the following quote from Stannis about his age in relation to Robert's:
{{Quote|I remember the first time my father took me to court, Robert had to hold my hand. I could not have been older than four, which would have made him five or six.{{Ref|ASOS|54}}}}

This quote shows that while Stannis was four, Robert could be both five and six. This means that after Stannis turned four, Robert remained five for a while, before turning six. It is unknown, however, when in the year the namedays fall. There are two scenarios:
* Robert turns 6 the same year Stannis has turned 4, placing Robert's nameday after Stannis' nameday in the same year
* Robert turns 6 the year after Stannis has turned 4, placing Robert's nameday before Stannis' nameday in the year.
The first option gives an age difference of two years, the second option gives an age difference of one year.

It is also mentioned by Eddard Stark that Stannis was “a bare year” younger than Robert{{Ref|AGOT|27}}, indicating the two brothers were born a year apart, and not two, eliminating the first option, leaving only the second option.

'''However''', it has been confirmed that Stannis was born in {{Date|264}}, and that Robert was born in {{Date|262}},{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II}} meaning that “a bare year apart” would indicate that Robert was born rather late in the year {{Date|262}}, and Stannis rather early in the year {{Date|264}} (think about the last few and first few months of the respective years), leaving roughly a year in between the two brothers, when counting the months.

Stannis was thus born in {{Date|264}}.

'''''Note:''' In addition, Davos mentions that Stannis "could not have been much more than twenty" when he had the command at Storm's End,{{Ref|ACOK|42}} during the Siege, indicating that Stannis had been twenty during the Siege at the eldest, but that he possibly had been younger. The Siege started in late 282 AC, lasting into 283 AC. If Stannis was twenty years or close to twenty during the Siege, that gives the following options:''
* ''18 turning 19 in 282 AC, placing his birth in 263 AC''
* ''19 turning 20 in 282 AC, placing his birth in 262 AC''
* ''18 turning 19 in 283 AC, placing his birth in 264 AC''
* ''19 turning 20 in 283 AC, placing his birth in 263 AC''

''As seen above, the only two options Stannis had in the first place were {{Date|264}} and {{Date|265}}. This eliminates both 263 AC and 262 AC as options for Stannis, leaving only 264 AC.''

''Making Stannis any younger during the Siege, would be in contrast with Davos's quote. If Stannis had been born in 265 AC, he would only have been sixteen or seventeen (depending on the timing of his nameday) at the beginning of the Siege, and seventeen or eighteen at the end of it. Though an age of eighteen years can be described as being close to twenty, being only seventeen years old, or younger, would truly be pushing the limit.''

''Both the timing of the mentioning of Stannis's age (the first month or the first half of the second month of 299 AC), and Stannis's age during the Siege for all available options, compared with Davos's quote, suggests that Stannis has yet to turn 35 in the year 299 AC, which would place his birth in 264 AC. This means Stannis was only seventeen or eighteen years old when the Siege at Storm's End began, and that he was either eighteen or nineteen when it ended.''

==Stannis Seaworth==
===Birth===
[[Stannis Seaworth]] is nine years old in 299 AC.{{Ref|ACOK|Appendix}} Stannis is ten years old in 300 AC.{{Ref|AFFC|Appendix}} That gives Stannis the following options:
* 8 turning 9 in 299 AC, and 9 turning 10 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 290 AC
* 9 turning 10 in 299 AC, and 10 turning 11 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 289 AC

No further specifications can be given. Stannis was thus born in either {{Date|289}} or {{Date|290}}.

==Steffon Baratheon==
===Birth===
[[Steffon Baratheon]]'s birth has been confirmed to have occurred in {{Date|246}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Stormlands: House Baratheon}}

===Death===
[[Steffon Baratheon]] went across the Narrow Sea on the orders of King Aerys II in {{Date|278}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II}} He died on his way back. After his death, Tywin Lannister brought his daughter Cersei to court,{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II}} at the age of 12.{{Ref|ASOS|11}} As Cersei was born in {{Date|266}},{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Westerlands: House Lannister Under the Dragons}} she would have been turning twelve in 278 AC, and would have been twelve turning thirteen in 279 AC.

Since Steffon left on his mission in 278 AC, this means that Steffon died either in 278 AC or 279 AC.

Steffon's mission was to find a bride for Prince Rhaegar Targaryen,{{Ref|ACOK|Prologue}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II}} in which he failed. Rhaegar was eventually betrothed to Elia Martell in early {{Date|279}},{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II}} indicating that Steffon's death could not have occurred later in that year.

No further specifications can be given. Steffon thus died in either {{Date|278}} or early {{Date|279}}.

==Steffon Connington==
===Birth===
[[Steffon Connington]] had been knighted by {{Date|132}}.{{Ref|FAB|Under the Regents - The Hooded Hand}} As Steffon would have been at least fifteen years old at receiving his knighthood, he would have been born no later than 117 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Steffon Connington was thus born in or before {{Date|117}}.

==Steffon Frey==
===Birth===
[[Steffon Frey]] is the eldest child of Walton Frey. Walton would have been at least twelve years old when Steffon was born. Walton was born no earlier than ~248 AC, meaning that Steffon cannot have been born earlier than ~260 AC.

Steffon would be older than his sister Walda Frey by at least a year. Walda Frey was born no later than 281 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Walda Frey (daughter of Walton)|Walda Frey (daughter of Walton)]])'', meaning that Steffon was born at least one year before the latest, thus in 280 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Steffon Frey was thus born in or between ~{{Date|260}} and {{Date|280}}.

==Steffon Hollard==
===Death===
[[Steffon Hollard]] died "some years" before the Defiance of Duskendale,{{Ref|AFFC|9}} which took place in 277 AC.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II}} Therefore 275 AC is the last possible year of death for Steffon.

Steffon is the father of Dontos Hollard,{{Ref|AFFC|9}} who was born at the earliest in 261 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Dontos Hollard|Dontos Hollard]])''. Therefore 260 AC is the earliest possible year of death for Steffon.

==Steffon Seaworth==
===Birth===

==Stevron Frey==
===Birth===
[[Stevron Frey]] is known to have been past sixty in early {{Date|299}},{{Ref|AGOT|59}} giving Stevron a minimum of being sixty-one years old in 299 AC. Big Walder Frey believes that Stevron was sixty-five years old when he died in 299 AC.{{Ref|ACOK|35}} If Big Walder is correct in his statement, Stevron has the following options:
* 64 turning 65 in 299 AC, placing his birth in 234 AC
* 65 turning 66 in 299 AC, placing his birth in 233 AC

No further specifications can be given. Stevron was thus born in either {{Date|233}} or {{Date|234}}.

'''''Note #1:''' However, Big Walder was also convinced that Stevron's eldest son Ryman was past forty in {{Date|299}}.{{Ref|ACOK|35}} Stevron's second born son, Aegon, was judged by Catelyn Stark to have been fifty years old. If Aegon Frey truly is fifty years old, Ryman would be at least one year older, 51, in the last days of 299 AC, placing his birth no later than 248 AC. This shows that even though Big Walder's statement is correct (being fifty-one years old is "past forty"), it is by no means exact.''

''If Ryman was indeed at least fifty-one years old in 299 AC, he would have been born at least in 248 AC, while Stevron was fourteen or fifteen years old. Seeing as how Stevron would have been at a minimum twelve years old at the birth of his first child, it would be possible for Stevron to have indeed been sixty-five years old when he died in 299 AC.''

'''''Note #2:''' Merrett Frey states in early 300 AC that Lord Walder had been grooming Stevron for ruling for sixty years.{{Ref|ASOS|Epilogue}} It is very well possible that Merrett was rounding down the years. Another possibility is that Big Walder was wrong about Stevrons age, as he seems to have been wrong about Ryman's age as well.''

==Sumner Crakehall==
===Death===
[[Sumner Crakehall]] is referred to as "old Sumner Crakehall" or "old Lord Sumner" on several occasions.{{Ref|ASOS|67}}{{Ref|ASOS|Epilogue}}{{Ref|AFFC|33}} He was still alive when he participated in the campaign against the Kingswood Brotherhood{{Ref|ASOS|67}}{{Ref|ASOS|Epilogue}} in {{Date|281}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Events#Final Battle against the Kingswood Brotherhood|Final Battle against the Kingswood Brotherhood]])''.

In early {{Date|299}}, Theon mentions he was taken away from Pyke ten years ago, when he was ten years old.{{Ref|ACOK|11}} This would make Theon twenty years old in 299 AC:
* 19 turning 20, placing his birth in 279 AC
* 20 turning 21, placing his birth in 278 AC

No further specifications can be given. Theon was thus born in either {{Date|278}} or {{Date|279}}.

==Timett==
===Birth===
[[Timett]] had not yet turned 20 in {{Date|298}}.{{Ref|AGOT|56}} Suggesting he was at the most 19 years old in 298 AC, though it is possible he would be turning 20 later that year, which would place his birth in {{Date|278}}.

This means that Tion was born at least one year before 285 AC, making 284 AC last possible year of birth for Tion.

Tion is also at least one year younger than his older brother Lyonel ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Lyonel Frey|Lyonel Frey]])''. Lyonel was born no earlier than 258 AC, meaning that Tion cannot have been born earlier than one year later, making 259 AC his first possible year of birth, theoretically.

However, Robb Stark estimates Tions age to be twelve or thirteen, when looking at Tion's corpse.{{Ref|ASOS|20}} This shows that Tion cannot have been that much older than his younger brother Walder, who was born in 285 AC.

As such, Tion's theoretical range of birth is in or between {{Date|259}} and {{Date|284}}. In reality Tion most likely had not been much older than fifteen when he died in {{Date|299}}, shortening the range of his years of birth. This because even though Tion must have been at least fifteen when he died, he was mistaken for a twelve year old or thirteen year old boy.

However, Tyshara is described as a "maiden of noble birth and marriageable age" in {{Date|133}}{{Ref|FAB|Under the Regents - War and Peace and Cattle Shows}}. Technically woman can be married at a [[Marriage#Age at marriage|very young age]] but it's rare and nothing indicates it was the case for Tyshara. Moreover, Tyshara was found in bed with a groom with whom she allegedly had sex in {{Date|133}}.{{Ref|FAB|Under the Regents - War and Peace and Cattle Shows}} All this points to Tyshara to at least have [[flowered]] by {{Date|133}}, at least twelve years old.

Since there was at least one year in between the births of Unwin's sons{{Ref|FAB|Under the Regents - War and Peace and Cattle Shows}} and Unwin would have to be at least 12 years old at the moment of his first son's birth, this means Unwin could not be born any later than {{Date|100}}.

When Catelyn Stark visits the Twins, Walder has turned 90.{{Ref|AGOT|59}} This event takes place in {{Date|299}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Walder Frey (son of Jammos)|Walder Frey (son of Jammos)]] and [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Events#298 AC to 299 AC|298 AC to 299 AC]])''.

When riding towards the Twins for the wedding of Edmure Tully and Roslin Frey, it is stated that Lord Walder is now (299 AC) 91 years old.{{Ref|ASOS|49}} Being 89 in 298 AC and both 90 and 91 in 299 AC can only be if Walder had been 89 turning 90 in 298 AC, and 90 turning 91 in 299 AC. Lord Walder Frey was thus born in {{Date|208}}.

As a second addition, Lord Walder is mentioned to be turning 92 “soon” in early {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|ASOS|Epilogue}}

==Walder Frey (son of Ryman)==
===Birth===
[[Walder Frey (son of Ryman)|Black Walder Frey]] is the second born son of Ryman Frey. He is younger than his brother Edwyn, but older than his brother Petyr.
Petyr was born in {{Date|281}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Petyr Frey|Petyr Frey]])'', meaning that Walder was born at least one year before, in 280 AC. 280 AC is thus Walder's last possible moment of birth.

Edwyn was born in 257 AC the earliest ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Edwyn Frey|Edwyn Frey]])''. This means that Walder cannot have been born earlier than one year later than Edwyn, thus in 258 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Black Walder was thus born in or between {{Date|258}} and {{Date|280}}.

==Walder Frey (son of Jammos)==
===Birth===
[[Walder Frey (son of Jammos)|Big Walder Frey]] is 52 days older than Little Walder.{{Ref|ACOK|4}} Both children are eight years old in {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|ADWD|12}} Being eight years old in 300 AC gives the following options:
* 7 turning 8, born in 292 AC
* 8 turning 9, born in 291 AC

When Catelyn Stark accepts them as wards, Big Walder had already turned eight, and Little Walder is still seven.{{Ref|AGOT|59}} It is unknown whether Catelyn Stark accepts the two boys in {{Date|298}} or in {{Date|299}}. Thus, the possible options are:
* In 298 AC, being 7 turning 8, placing his birth in 290 AC
* In 298 AC, being 8 turning 9, placing his birth in 289 AC
* In 299 AC, being 7 turning 8, placing his birth in 291 AC
* In 299 AC, being 8 turning 9, placing his birth in 290 AC

For Big Walder, the elder of the two boys, the only overlapping year is 291 AC. Walder Frey was thus born in {{Date|291}}.

'''''Note:''' This also means that Walder was accepted as a ward by Catelyn in 299 AC, placing everything that happens after the Twins in {{Date|299}}.''

==Walder Frey (son of Merrett)==
===Birth===
[[Walder Frey (son of Merrett)|Little Walder Frey]] is 52 days younger than cousin Big Walder.{{Ref|ACOK|4}} Both children are eight years old in {{Date|300}}, and when Catelyn Stark accepts them as wards, Big Walder had already turned eight, and Little Walder is still seven.{{Ref|AGOT|59}} In 300 AC, Little Walder is eight years old.{{Ref|ADWD|12}} In addition, before the year 300 AC has ended, Little Walder has turned nine.{{Ref|ADWD|51}}

Big Walder was born in 291 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Walder Frey (son of Jammos)|Walder Frey (son of Jammos)]])''. This means that Little Walder must have been born in 291 AC as well, since there are more than 52 days between Catelyn accepting the two boys as wards, and the first day of 300 AC taking place.

In addition, Little Walder's year of birth can be proven on its own. Little Walder is mentioned to be both eight{{Ref|ADWD|12}} and nine{{Ref|ADWD|51}} in 300 AC, showing that he was 8 turning 9 in {{Date|300}}, and thus confirming he was born in {{Date|291}}.

==Walder Frey (son of Emmon)==
===Birth===
[[Walder Frey (son of Emmon)|Red Walder Frey]] has been mentioned to have been fourteen years old in {{Date|299}}{{Ref|ACOK|Appendix}} and in {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|AFFC|Appendix}}. Being fourteen years old in both 299 AC and 300 AC means he was 13 turning 14 in 299 AC, and 14 turning 15 in 300 AC, placing his birth in {{Date|285}}.

==Walder Goodbrook==
===Birth===
[[Walder Goodbrook]] has been mentioned to have been nine in {{Date|299}}{{Ref|ACOK|Appendix}} and in {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|AFFC|Appendix}} Being nine years old in both 299 AC and 300 AC means he was 8 turning 9 in 299 AC, and 9 turning 10 in 300 AC, placing his birth in {{Date|290}}.

==Walder Haigh==
===Birth===
[[Walder Haigh]] is mentioned to be four years old in {{Date|299}}{{Ref|ACOK|Appendix}}, and five in {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|AFFC|Appendix}} Being four in 299 AC gives the following options:
* 3 turning 4, placing his birth in 295 AC
* 4 turning 5, placing his birth in 294 AC

Being five in 300 AC gives the following options:
* 4 turning 5, placing his birth in 295 AC
* 5 turning 6, placing his birth in 294 AC

No further specifications can be given. Walder was thus born in either {{Date|294}} or {{Date|295}}.

==Walder Vance==
===Birth===
[[Walder Vance]] is a squire in {{Date|299}},{{Ref|ACOK|Appendix}} meaning he would minimally have been turning 8 in {{Date|299}}.<ref group="N" name="Squire"/> That would make his last possible year of birth 291 AC.

Walder's mother was born in ~250 AC the earliest ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Maegelle Frey|Maegelle Frey]])''. Since Walder is the second child of his mother, his mother would have been at least thirteen years old when he was born, meaning that Walder's first possible year of birth was thirteen years after ~250 AC, placing his birth in ~263 AC the earliest, theoretically.

No further specifications can be given. Walder was thus born in or between ~{{Date|263}} and {{Date|291}}.

'''''Note:''' Walder's sister is at least one year older than him, and she is still a maiden unwed in {{Date|300}}, suggesting she is still rather young, which would suggest that Walder is still young as well in 300 AC.''

==Walderan Tarbeck==
===Birth===
[[Walderan Tarbeck]] was 55 years old in {{Date|239}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Westerlands: House Lannister Under the Dragons}} As the source for Walderan’s concerns a historical work, rule #3 applies, placing Walderan's birth in {{Date|184}}.

==Wallace Waynwood==
===Birth===
[[Wallace Waynwood]] is said to have been Robb Stark's age, had Robb still been alive in 300 AC.<ref name="AlayneI"/> Robb Stark was born in {{Date|283}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Robb Stark|Robb Stark]])''.

Wallace's older brother Donnel was born in 277 AC or 278 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Donnel Waynwood|Donnel Waynwood]])''. That means that Wallace's first possible year of birth is 278 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Wallace thus was born in or between {{Date|278}} and {{Date|283}}.

==Walton Frey==
===Birth===
[[Walton Frey]] is Stevron Frey's only child by his third wife, Marsella Waynwood, whereas his older sister Maegelle is Stevron Frey's youngest child by his second wife, Jeyne Lydden.{{Ref|ACOK|Appendix}} As they have different mothers, it is possible for Walton and Maegelle to have been born in the same year. Maegelle was born in roughly 250 AC the earliest ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Maegelle Frey|Maegelle Frey]])'', meaning that Walton Frey's first possible year of birth is also roughly 250 AC.

Walton would have been at least twelve years old when his eldest child was born, and thus at least thirteen when his second child was born. Walton's second child, Walda, was born in either 280 AC or 281 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Walda Frey (daughter of Walton)|Walda Frey (daughter of Walton)]])''. Walton would have been at least thirteen at her birth, meaning that the youngest he could have been, was thirteen in 281 AC, which would place his birth in 268 AC the latest.

No further specifications can be given. Walton Frey was thus born in or between ~{{Date|250}} and {{Date|268}}.

==Waltyr Frey==
===Birth===
[[Waltyr Frey]] was ten years old in both {{Date|299}} and {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|ACOK|Appendix}}{{Ref|AFFC|Appendix}} Being ten years old in both 299 AC and 300 AC means that Waltyr was 9 turning 10 in 299 AC, and 10 turning 11 in 300 AC, placing his birth in {{Date|289}}.

==Waymar Royce==
=== Birth===
[[Waymar Royce]] is eighteen years old in 297 AC. Being 18 in 297 AC gives his two options:
* Being 17 turning 18 in 297 AC, placing his birth in 279 AC
* Being 18 turning 19 in 297 AC, placing his birth in 278 AC

No further specifications can be given. Waymar was thus born in either {{Date|278}} or {{Date|279}}.

===Death===
During the Tourney of the Hand in 298 AC, Sansa Stark mentions that she met Ser Raymar Royce and his father when they visited Winterfell, on their way to the Wall. The timeframe Sansa mentions was two years ago.{{Ref|AGOT|29}} During the prologue of ''A Game of Thrones'', Ser Waymar has been on the Wall for almost half a year.{{Ref|AGOT|Prologue}} The time in between Sansa remembering having met the Royces (during the Tourney of the Hand), and one of Ser Warmar's fellow rangers getting decapitated (during [[A Game of Thrones]], Bran I), seems to have been at least seven months, since King Robert visited Winterfell for at least one month, and the journey from Winterfell to King's Landing, and thus also from King's Landing to Winterfell, took about 2 months each. Robert cannot have left for Winterfell until two weeks after Joffrey's 12th nameday (since he didn't leave until Jon Arryn had died, and Jon Arryn died a fortnight after Joffrey's nameday), which is known to have taken place in {{Date|298}} ''(see the [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey Baratheon]] calculation)'', although most likely more time passed in between Jon Arryn's death and Robert leaving for Winterfell, seeing as how Cersei and her children were not in King's Landing when Jon Arryn died (they were making a tour to Casterly Rock), but they were present in the royal party. Naturally, some weeks passed in between arriving at King's Landing and the Tourney of the Hand, which are guessed at the lower bar of one month.

Thus Sansa Stark remembers a while into the second half of 298 AC that she met the Royces 2 years prior, placing their visit to Winterfell into the second half of 296 AC. With Waymar dying after spending half a year on the Wall, Waymar's death thus occured in {{Date|297}}.

==Weasel==
===Birth===
[[Weasel]] was found in the Riverlands in {{Date|299}}. She was no older than two.{{Ref|ACOK|9}}
Weasel being two in 299 AC gives her the following options:
* 1 turning 2 in 299 AC, placing her birth in 297 AC
* 2 turning 3 in 299 AC, placing her birth in 296 AC

No further specifications can be given. Weasel was thus born in either {{Date|296}} or {{Date|297}}.

==Wendel Frey==
===Birth===
[[Wendel Frey]] was thirteen years old in both {{Date|299}} and {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|ACOK|Appendix}}{{Ref|AFFC|Appendix}} Being thirteen years old in both 299 AC and 300 AC means that Wendel was 12 turning 13 in 299 AC, and 13 turning 14 in 300 AC, placing his birth in {{Date|286}}.

==Wendel Manderly==
===Birth===
[[Wendel Manderly]] is the second born son of Wyman Manderly. He is at least one year older than Catelyn Tully,{{Ref|AGOT|55}} who was born no later than 265 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Catelyn Tully|Catelyn Tully]])''. This would place his birth in 264 AC at the latest.

Wendel's father Wyman was born in {{Date|239}} the earliest. Since Wyman would have been at least 12 years old at the birth of his eldest son, he would have been at least 13 years old at the birth of his youngest son. This would place Wendel's birth no earlier than 252 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Wendel was thus born in or between {{Date|252}} and {{Date|264}}.

==Wex Pyke==
===Birth===
[[Wex Pyke]] was twelve years old in {{Date|299}}.{{Ref|ACOK|24}} This leaves the following options for Wex:
* 11 turning 12 in 299 AC, and thus 12 turning 13 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 287 AC
* 12 turning 13 in 299 AC, and thus 13 turning 14 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 286 AC

In {{Date|300}}, Davos meets Wex. He guesses Wex to be fourteen or fifteen years old.{{Ref|ADWD|29}} As the two options above show, Wex would be either thirteen or fourteen in 300 AC. Comparing that to Davos's estimations, Wex seems to have been fourteen years old in 300 AC, eliminating the first option, and placing Wex’s birth in {{Date|286}}.

==Whalen Frey==
===Birth===
[[Whalen Frey]] is younger than Jammos Frey by at least one year. Jammos was born no earlier than 266 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Jammos Frey|Jammos Frey]])'', meaning that one year later, 267 AC, is the first possible birth year of for Whalen.

Whalen is older than his sister Morya Frey by at least one year. The last possible year of birth of Morya is 269 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Morya Frey|Morya Frey]])'', making Whalens last possible year of birth one year before, in 268 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Whalen was thus born in either {{Date|267}} or {{Date|268}}.

==Willam the Wasp==
===Birth===
[[Willam the Wasp]] was one of five champions to earn their slot in the Kingsguard in 49 AC.{{Ref|FAB|The Year of the Three Brides - 49 AC}} Jaime Lannister was the youngest knight to be named to the Kingsguard at the age of fifteen in 281 AC.{{Ref|ASOS|11}}{{Ref|AFFC|16}} As such, all other Kingsguard knights who were appointed before Jaime would have been at least sixteen years of age at their appointment, indicating Willam had been at least sixteen years old in 49 AC, placing his birth no later than 33 AC.

Samgood of Sour Hill was born in 14 BC and was the oldest of the five champions,{{Ref|FAB|The Year of the Three Brides - 49 AC}} meaning that Willam can not have been born earlier than 13 BC.

No further specifications can be given. Willam was thus born in or between {{Date|-13}} and {{Date|33}}.

==Willam Stark==
===Birth===
[[Willam Stark]]'s eldest child, [[Brandon Stark (son of Willam)|Brandon Stark]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} was born no later than 223 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Brandon Stark (son of Willam)|Brandon Stark (son of Willam)]])''. Willam would have been at least 12 years old at the birth, so he was born no later than 211 AC.

Willam's older sibling, [[Donnor Stark]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} was born no earlier than 184 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Donnor Stark|Donnor Stark]])''. Willam would have been born at least a year later, therefore he was born no earlier than 185 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Willam was thus born in or between {{Date|185}} and {{Date|211}}.

==Willamen Frey==
===Birth===
[[Willamen Frey]] is an older brother of Olyvar and Roslin, and a younger brother of Perwyn and Benfrey.{{Ref|ACOK|Appendix}} This means that Willamen was born at least one year before Olyvar, who was born in {{Date|281}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Olyvar Frey|Olyvar Frey]])'', meaning that Willamen was born no later than 280 AC.

Benfrey is Willamen's next oldest sibling and therefore born at least one year before him. Benfrey was born no earlier than 271 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Benfrey Frey|Benfrey Frey]])'', meaning that Willamen was born no earlier than 272 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Willamen was thus born in or between {{Date|272}} and {{Date|280}}.

==Willas Tyrell==
===Birth===
[[Willas Tyrell]] is the eldest son of Mace Tyrell and Alerie Hightower. With Mace Tyrell being born no earlier than {{Date|256}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Mace Tyrell|Mace Tyrell]])'', and second son Garlan being born to Mace in {{Date|277}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Garlan Tyrell|Garlan Tyrell]])'', Willas would have been born in between 268 AC (the first possible year of Mace turning twelve years old) and 276 AC (at least one year before Garlan).

Willas is said to be twice the age of Sansa Stark.{{Ref|ASOS|16}} Sansa, at that moment, is twelve. Since Garlan was twenty-two years old at that time, Willas would have been twenty-three years old (one year older than Garlan) or older. Being exactly twice Sansa's age would make him twenty-four years old, and keeping in mind that Sansa turns thirteen in roughly “a moons turn”,{{Ref|ASOS|28}} he could have been as old as twenty-six as well. Willas is considered a bit too old for Sansa by his grandmother, suggesting the age difference is reaching its limit. This means that Willas could not have been born any earlier than 273 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Willas was thus born in or between {{Date|273}} and {{Date|276}}.

==Willem Darry==
===Death===
[[Willem Darry]] fell sick when Daenerys Targaryen was five years old.{{Ref|AWOIAF|Daenerys Targaryen}} Daenerys was born in 284 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Daenerys Targaryen|Daenerys Targaryen]])'', which means that Willem fell sick in either 289 AC or 290 AC, as Daenerys would have been five years old in both years. It is unknown how long Willem was sick before he died, though it is stated that he died soon after.{{Ref|AWOIAF|Daenerys Targaryen}} Thus it can be stated that Willem died in {{Date|289}} or {{Date|290}}, roughly.

==Willem Frey==
===Birth===
[[Willem Frey]] has been mentioned to have been nine years old in {{Date|299}}{{Ref|ACOK|Appendix}} and ten in {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|AFFC|Appendix}} Being nine in 299 AC gives the following options:
* 8 turning 9, placing his birth in 290 AC
* 9 turning 10, placing his birth in 289 AC

Being ten in 300 AC gives the following options:
* 9 turning 10, placing his birth in 290 AC
* 10 turning 11, placing his birth in 289 AC

No further specifications can be given. Willem was thus born in either {{Date|289}} or {{Date|290}}.

==Willem Lannister==
===Birth===
[[Willem Lannister]] was judged to have been 12 or 13 years old in {{Date|299}} by Robb Stark.{{Ref|ASOS|20}} That gives Willem the following options:
* 11 turning 12 in 299 AC, placing his birth in 287 AC
* 12 turning 13 in 299 AC, placing his birth in 286 AC
* 13 turning 14 in 299 AC, placing his birth in 285 AC

No further specifications can be given. Willem was thus born in or between {{Date|285}} and {{Date|287}}.

==Willow (daughter of Aegon IV)==
===Birth===
[[Willow (daughter of Aegon IV)|Willow]]'s mother, Megette, was the mistress of King Aegon IV from {{Date|155}} until {{Date|158}}. Willow is listed as the third of four children.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}} This would place Willow's birth in {{Date|157}}.

==Willow Heddle==
===Birth===
[[Willow Heddle]] is ten years old in {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|AFFC|37}} That gives her the following options:
* 9 turning 10 in 300 AC, placing her birth in 290 AC
* 10 turning 11 in 300 AC, placing her birth in 289 AC

No further specifications can be given. Willow was thus born in either {{Date|289}} or {{Date|290}}.

==Wylis Manderly==
===Birth===
[[Wylis Manderly]] is the eldest son of Wyman Manderly, and older than Catelyn Tully, as is his younger brother Wendel.{{Ref|AGOT|55}} That both brothers are older than Catelyn, means that the youngest could have been born one year before Catelyn, the latest. Since Wylis is older than his brother, that would place his birth no later than two years before Catelyn, who was born in 264 AC or 265 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Catelyn Tully|Catelyn Tully]])''. With 265 AC as Catelyn's youngest option, this means that Wylis was born in 263 AC the latest.

Since Wylis's father Wyman was born in 239 AC the earliest, and would have been at least 12 years old at Wylis's birth, Wylis cannot have been born any earlier than 251 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Wylis was thus born in or between {{Date|251}} and {{Date|263}}.

==Wylla Fenn==
===Birth===
[[Wylla Fenn]]'s child, [[Lonnel Snow]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} was born no later than 195 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Lonnel Snow|Lonnel Snow]])''. Wylla would have been at least 12 years old at the birth, so she was born no later than {{Date|183}}.

===Death===
Wylla cannot have died before her child, [[Lonnel Snow]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} was born. Lonnel was born no earlier than 152 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Lonnel Snow|Lonnel Snow]])'', so Wylla died no earlier than {{Date|152}}.

==Wylla Manderly==
===Birth===
[[Wylla Manderly]] looked to be no older than fifteen to Davos Seaworth in {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|ADWD|19}} In 300 AC, Wylla was indeed fifteen years old.{{Ref|AFFC|Appendix}} That gives her the following options:
* 14 turning 15 in 300 AC, placing her birth in 285 AC
* 15 turning 16 in 300 AC, placing her birth in 284 AC

No further specifications can be given. Wylla was thus born in either {{Date|284}} or {{Date|285}}.

==Wyman Manderly==
===Birth===
[[Wyman Manderly]] was near sixty in {{Date|298}}.{{Ref|AGOT|55}} This means that in 298 AC, Wyman was fifty-nine years old at the latest. This would place his birth no earlier than {{Date|239}}.

Wyman's eldest son, Wylis, was born no later than {{Date|263}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Wylis Manderly|Wylis Manderly]])''. Wyman would have been at least twelve years old when Wylis was born, meaning that Wyman would have been at least twelve years old in 263 AC, placing his birth no later than {{Date|251}}.

However, "near sixty" suggests that Wyman is closer to sixty than to fifty, showing that he is at least fifty-six. Being 55 turning 56 in 298 AC at his youngest, would place Wyman's birth in 242 AC. Thus Wyman was born no later than 242 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Wyman was thus born in or between {{Date|239}} and {{Date|242}}.

==Wyman Webber==
===Death===
The second anniversary of Lord [[Wyman Webber]]'s death is less than a month away in ''[[The Sworn Sword]]''.{{Ref|TSS}} ''The Sworn Sword'' takes place in {{Date|211}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Events#The Sworn Sword|The Sworn Sword]])''. As it is unknown when in 211 AC ''The Sworn Sword'' takes place, it is possible that the start of {{Date|212}} is less than a month away, leaving the possibility that the second anniversary of Wyman's death took place in 212 AC.

No further specifications can be given. As the second anniversary of Wyman's death took place in either {{Date|211}} or {{Date|212}}, Wyman's death thus took place in either {{Date|209}} or {{Date|210}}.

==Wynafryd Manderly==
===Birth===
[[Wynafryd Manderly]] is nineteen years old in 300 AC.{{Ref|AFFC|Appendix}} That gives her the following options:
* 18 turning 19 in 300 AC, placing her birth in 281 AC
* 19 turning 20 in 300 AC, placing her birth in 280 AC

No further specifications can be given. Wynafryd was thus born in either {{Date|280}} or {{Date|281}}.

==Wynton Stout==
===Birth===
[[Wynton Stout]] has been a ranger of the Night's Watch for 80 years in {{Date|299}}.{{Ref|ASOS|48}} It is unknown how old he was when he became a ranger, meaning that the most specific year that can be given for his birth, is “before {{Date|219}}”.

{{Alphabetized Navigation}}

==Yandel==
===Birth===
[[Yandel]] was born in the 10th year of the reign of King Aerys II Targaryen.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Preface}} As King Aerys ascended the throne in {{Date|262}},{{Ref|AGOT|Appendix}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II}}, this would place Yandels birth in the year {{Date|272}}.

==Ygritte==
===Birth===
[[Ygritte]] claims to be three years older than Jon Snow.{{Ref|ASOS|15}}{{Ref|ASOS|26}} Jon Snow was born in {{Date|283}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Jon Snow|Jon Snow]])'', placing Ygritte's birth in {{Date|280}}.

==Ynys Yronwood==
===Birth===
[[Ynys Yronwood]] was the mother of two sons the last time [[Quentyn Martell]] saw her.{{Ref|ADWD|6}} Since Quentyn left Dorne in either late 299 AC or early 300 AC,{{Ref|AFFC|13}} technically Quentyn could have seen Ynys for the last time in early 300 AC. Ynys's second son was thus born at the latest in 300 AC. Since there is at least one year in between the births of Ynys's sons and she would have been at least twelve at the moment of her first son's birth, this means Ynys could not have been born any later than 287 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Ynys was thus born in or before {{Date|287}}.

==Yorbert Royce==
===Death===
[[Yorbert Royce]] was present at the Great Council of 101 AC at Harrenhal.{{Ref|FAB|Heirs of the Dragon - A Question of Succession}} By the time of King Viserys I Targaryen's coronotion in 103 AC, Yorbert's heir, Rhea Royce, had become the Lady of Runestone,{{Ref|TRP}} implying Yobert had died prior to Viserys's coronation.

No further specifications can be given. Yorbert thus died in either {{Date|101}}, {{Date|102}} or {{Date|103}}.

==Ysabel Staunton==
===Birth===
[[Ysabel Staunton]] was one of the maiden presented to King [[Aegon III Targaryen]] during the [[Maiden's Day Ball]] in 133 AC.{{Ref|FAB|Under the Regents - War and Peace and Cattle Shows}} As the maiden had to be under the age of thirty,{{Ref|FAB|Under the Regents - War and Peace and Cattle Shows}} this means she couldn't be born any earlier than 103 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Ysabel was thus born in or between {{Date|103}} and {{Date|133}}.

'''''Note:''' A rumor was spread before the Maiden's Day Ball that Ysabel was fond of wine. In order for the rumor to be believable, Ysabel would be born well before 133 AC.''

Timeline of major events

2024-08-02T19:04:47Z

Scafloc: Duncan Targaryen had already given up his position as crown prince so he was not the heir of Aegon V anymore

This '''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. For further detail, see [[years before Aegon's Conquest]] and [[years after Aegon's Conquest]].

According to tradition, the known history of Westeros extends back over twelve thousand years,{{ref|AGOT|66}} and its [[maesters]] speculate that the [[known world|world itself]] may be forty thousand years old (or older, possibly five hundred thousand years or more).{{Ref|TWOIAF|Ancient History: The Dawn Age}} However, the oldest historic recounts in [[Westeros]] were written after the [[Andal invasion|Andals' arrival]] to the continent, as the [[First Men]] used [[runes]] for carving on stone. Everything written about the [[Age of Heroes]], the [[Dawn Age]], and the [[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.{{ref|AFFC|5}} Additionally, [[George R. R. Martin]] is sometimes intentionally imprecise with dates or distances.<ref group=N>[[So Spake Martin]]: [https://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/Date_of_The_Hedge_Knight_and_Tyrions_Age Date of The Hedge Knight and Tyrion's Age], May 09, 1999. 'When we talk, we tend to be imprecise about such things, saying something happened "in the sixties" or "at the turn of the century," or that World War II was "fifty years ago." It's no different in the Seven Kingdoms. And that goes for distances as well as dates. A phrase like "a thousand leagues" is not meant to be a precise measure of distance, only the equivalent of "a million miles away," ie, "a very long way."'</ref>

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

===Dawn Age===
{| class="wikitable"
|width=85px|Prehistory
| '''Before the coming of men''': The lands of [[Westeros]] are inhabited in the [[Dawn Age]] by a mysterious race of diminutive humanoid creatures known as the [[children of the forest]], as well as [[giants]] and other magical [[Bestiary|creatures]].{{ref|TWOIAF|Ancient History: The Dawn Age}}
|-
| ca. {{date|-12000}}
| '''The [[First Men]] invade Westeros''': A human ethnic group from [[Essos]], the First Men, invades [[Westeros]] by crossing the [[Arm of Dorne]], bearing weapons of bronze. In a futile attempt to end the invasion, the children use the [[hammer of the waters]] to shatter the land bridge, creating the [[Broken Arm]] and the island chain known as the [[Stepstones]].{{ref|TWOIAF|Ancient History: The Coming of the First Men}}

The First Men are more numerous, larger, stronger, and more technologically advanced than the children, who try to resist the invaders using their [[magic]] and [[obsidian]] weapons. It proves unsuccessful, however, and the First Men gradually push deeper and deeper into Westeros, establishing hundreds of petty kingdoms.{{ref|AGOT|66}}{{ref|TWOIAF|Ancient History: The Coming of the First Men}}
|-
| ca. {{date|-10000}}
| '''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 on 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===
{| class="wikitable"
|width=85px| ca. {{date|-10000}}
| '''[[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]] and the [[Lady of the Waves]] and [[Lord of the Skies]] of the [[Three Sisters]], 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]] in the [[north]]; [[Lann the Clever]], founder of [[House Lannister]], who winkles [[Casterly Rock]] from the [[House Casterly|Casterlys]] in the [[westerlands]]; or [[Garth the Gardener]], founder of [[House Gardener]] in the [[Reach]]. Also during this the [[Storm King]]s of [[House Durrandon]] arise in the [[stormlands]]—a line with figures such as the founding [[Durran Godsgrief]], supposed builder of [[Storm's End]]—and the [[Grey King]] rules the [[ironborn]] of the [[Iron Islands]].
|-
| ca. {{date|-8000}} or {{date|-6000}}
|'''The [[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 with the [[Battle for the Dawn]]. The children and the First Men unite to defeat the Others with [[dragonglass]] weapons, with the [[Night's Watch]] pushing them back into the frozen reaches of the far north.{{ref|ACOK|21}} Legendary figures from this time include the [[last hero]] and [[Azor Ahai]], who wields a great sword of fire, [[Lightbringer]]. These events are believed to have occurred between eight thousand and six thousand years ago.{{ref|TWOIAF|Ancient History: The Long Night}}<hr>

'''Building of the [[Wall]]''': With the Others defeated, [[Bran the Builder]], with the aid of giants, the First Men, and perhaps the children of the forest, raises 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]] guards the Wall. It is said that Bran the Builder also builds [[Winterfell]], becomes the first [[King in the North|King of Winter]], and founds [[House Stark]].<hr>

'''[[Night's King]]''': According to legend, the thirteenth Lord Commander of the Night's Watch took a [[Corpse queen|mysterious pale woman]] as his lover. He declared her his queen, and himself a king. They controlled the Night's Watch with sorcery, and sacrificed to the [[Others]]. They ruled at the [[Nightfort]] for thirteen years, until [[Brandon Stark (Breaker)|King Brandon Stark]] and the wildling king [[Joramun]] cast down the Night's King, and the name of the Night's King was forbidden. Maesters largely dismiss this tale as myth.{{ref|ASOS|56}}{{ref|AFFC|5}}{{ref|TWOIAF|The Night's Watch}}
|}

===Coming of the Andals===
{| class="wikitable"
|width=85px|ca. {{date|-6000}}, {{date|-4000}}, or {{date|-2000}}
| '''Foundation of the Faith''': In the hills of [[Andalos]] on [[Essos]], a new religion takes shape, the [[Faith of the Seven]]. Supposedly, seven deities appear to [[Hugor of the Hill]], inspiring the [[Andals]] for their invasion of [[Westeros]].<hr>

'''The [[coming of the Andals]]''': The [[Andals]] cross the [[narrow sea]] and make landfall on its eastern shore at the [[Fingers]] in the [[Vale of Arryn|Vale]]. 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. When the Andals crossed the narrow sea from Essos is disputed; some sources indicate six thousand years ago,<ref>[[A Game of Thrones (game)|A Game of Thrones RPG and Resource Book]], Guardians of Order</ref>{{ref|AGOT|40}} the ''[[True History]]'' states it was four thousand years ago,{{ref|ADWD|48}} and some [[maesters]] claim it was two thousand years ago.{{ref|ADWD|48}}

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 most of the [[weirwood]]s are destroyed. Only 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. Though the north remains 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]].

The [[Iron Islands]] fall to the Andals a thousand years after the beginning of their invasion of Westeros,{{ref|TWOIAF|Ancient History: The Arrival of the Andals}} ending the line of [[Kings of the Iron Islands]] which originated from [[Urron Greyiron]]. Unlike in the other regions, however, Andals are assimilated to the native beliefs of the [[Old Way]] and the [[Drowned God]].
|}

===Age of Valyria===
{| class="wikitable"
|width=85px| ca. {{date|-8000|-4700}}
| '''Rise of the [[Valyrian Freehold]]''': While Westeros was recovering from the Long Night, in [[Essos]], the peaceful sheep-herding folk of the [[Valyrian peninsula]] find [[dragon]]s lairing in the [[Fourteen Flames]], 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>

'''[[Ghiscari wars]]:''' Five wars are fought between the [[Old Empire of Ghis]], the greatest empire on the eastern continent, and the Freehold — wars which Valyria wins with the help of its dragons. The Valyrians practice [[slavery]] learned from the [[Ghiscari]].{{ref|TWOIAF|Ancient History: The Rise of Valyria}}{{ref|TWOIAF|Ancient History: Valyria's Children}}
|-
| ca. {{date|-4700}}
| '''Fifth Ghiscari War''': The Ghiscari wars end with the fifth war in which [[Old Ghis]] is utterly destroyed by the Freehold, as to ensure there would not be a sixth war. The Valyrians destroy the city's walls and streets with [[dragonflame]], and salt and sulfur the fields. With the Ghiscari empire shattered, the Valyrian Freehold expands its influence over the surviving [[Slaver Cities]] of [[Slaver's Bay]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|Ancient History: The Rise of Valyria}}{{Ref|ASOS|23}}<ref>Some five thousand years ago in 299 AC, placing its occurrence roughly around 4700 BC</ref>
<hr>
Following the defeat of the [[Old Empire of Ghis]], the Freehold seeks to expand their territories. The Andals, who had been living in [[Andalos]], travel west to flee the upcoming Valyrians and prevent slavery. They first land in the [[Fingers]] in the [[Vale of Arryn]]. From there, they spread all across Westeros.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Ancient History: The Arrival of the Andals}}
|-
| ca. {{date|-3700}}
| After a thousand years, the Andals who invaded Westeros look towards the [[Iron Islands]]. There, they extinguish [[House Greyiron]], who had ruled the Iron Islands for "a thousand years".{{ref|AFFC|11}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|Ancient History: The Arrival of the Andals}}
|-
| {{date|-1436}}
| '''[[Lorath]]''': A sect of religious dissidents leave the Freehold to establish a temple upon Lorath's main isle, becoming the first inhabitants of the city that becomes the Free City of Lorath.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Free Cities: Lorath}}
|-
| ca. {{date|-950|-700}}
| '''The [[Rhoynish Wars]]''': With the destruction of Old Ghis, the Valyrian Freehold's slow westward expansion brings it into conflict with the Rhoynish cities along the great [[Rhoyne]], a vast waterway. This series of wars between the Freehold and the [[Rhoynar]], starting around 950 BC with the [[First Turtle War]], lasts for some two hundred and fifty years and ends with the [[Second Spice War]].<ref>The series of conflicts known as the [[Rhoynish Wars]] ended a thousand years before the main series in ~300 AC, and had lasted roughly two and a half centuries</ref>{{ref|TWOIAF|Ancient History: Ten Thousand Ships}}{{ref|ADWD|8}}{{Ref|ADWD|14}}{{ref|ADWD|18}}
|-
| ca. {{date|-700}}
| '''The Rhoynar migration''': Prince [[Garin the Great]] raises an army a quarter-million strong to oppose the Valyrians, but fails utterly against their dragons. Following the defeat of the Rhoynar in the [[Second Spice War]], [[Nymeria]], a Rhoynish warrior-queen, evacuates the survivors of Garin's war, mostly women and children, on [[ten thousand ships]], eventually 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 realm, establishing [[House Martell]] as the ruling house of Dorne after [[Nymeria's War]]. Mors adopts many Rhoynish [[customs]]. The unification of Dorne under Nymeria and Mors leads to new conflicts with the [[Kings of the Reach]] and the [[Storm Kings]], expressed through raids, skirmishes, and the occasional wars over the centuries.
|-
| ca. {{date|-314}}
| The Valyrian Freehold annexes a small island at the mouth of [[Blackwater Bay]], off the east coast of [[Westeros]]. Using [[magic|arcane arts]], they build a castle whose towers are shaped to look like [[dragon]]s, giving it its name: [[Dragonstone]].{{ref|TWOIAF|Ancient History: The Doom of Valyria}}
|-
| {{date|-114}}
| '''Migration of the Targaryens''': Following a prophetic dream of his daughter [[Daenys Targaryen|Daenys]], Lord [[Aenar Targaryen]] decides to leave Valyria with his family and all their belongings. The [[House Targaryen|Targaryens]] settle on [[Dragonstone]].
|-
| {{date|-102}}
| '''The [[Doom of Valyria]]''': The nature of the Doom is unclear, save that heavy volcanic and seismic activity are involved, likely due to the [[Fourteen Flames]], 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 crumbles apart in the [[Century of Blood]]. Its various city-states break apart, asserting their independence and surviving to this day as the [[Free Cities]] and the cities of [[Slaver's Bay]].

===The Seven Kingdoms===

__NOTOC__
[[Sansa Stark]] attends the [[tourney on King Joffrey's name day]]. After several poor contests, [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]] becomes enraged when Ser [[Dontos Hollard]] arrives half naked and too drunk to compete. Sansa manages to convince Joffrey to make Dontos his new fool instead of executing him. Afterward, while Prince [[Tommen Baratheon|Tommen]] is riding against a [[quintain]], [[Tyrion Lannister]] arrives to assume his position as acting [[Hand of the King]].

==Synopsis==
[[File:Sansa Stark.jpg|thumb|170px|left|Sansa Stark – by Amok ©]]

[[Sansa Stark|Sansa]] is watching the long tail of the [[red comet]] from her tower window when Ser [[Arys Oakheart]] arrives to escort her to the [[tourney on King Joffrey's name day]]. She asks him what it means. Ser Arys declares that it means glory to her betrothed, King [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]]; the gods have raised it as a banner in his honor, and the smallfolk have named it “King Joffrey’s Comet”. Sansa is not so sure and replies that she has heard the servants call it the “Dragon’s Tail.” Ser Arys replies that Joffrey sits on [[Aegon I Targaryen|Aegon the Dragon]]’s [[Iron Throne|throne]] and crimson is the color of [[House Lannister]], so it must mean he will triumph over his enemies. Sansa wonders apprehensively if this is true, since her [[Catelyn Stark|mother]] and [[Robb Stark|brother]] are among Joffrey’s enemies. Yet Joffrey is a [[House Baratheon of King's Landing|Baratheon]] as much as a Lannister, so his comet should be gold.

Ser Arys compliments Sansa on her gown, whose long sleeves hide the bruises given to her by Ser [[Boros Blount]] at Joffrey’s command when he learned that her brother [[Robb Stark|Robb]] had been proclaimed [[King in the North]]. Of all the [[Kingsguard]], Ser Arys is always courteous to Sansa, and is her preferred escort since he is the only one who objects to hitting her and never hits hard. The others all obey without question, except [[Sandor Clegane]], but Joffrey never commands the [[Hound]] to hit her.

As they walk, Sansa asks who will win the tourney. Ser Arys states he will, though there will be only 40 contestants, and there is small honor in unhorsing green boys. Sansa muses that this will be very different from the magnificent [[Hand's tourney]]. With King [[Robert I Baratheon|Robert]] dead and three kings vying for power it is not surprising that Joffrey’s tourney must be held within the [[Red Keep]]. Sansa asks if Queen [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei]] will attend, but learns that the queen has urgent business with the [[small council]]. Ser Arys also mentions that Cersei is furious that [[Tywin Lannister]] will not bring his army to the city as commanded.

The pitiful crowd in the small outer bailey fills only half the seats. Most of the spectators are [[City Watch of King's Landing|gold cloaks]] or wear the crimson of House Lannister. Only a few are nobility: grey-faced Lord [[Gyles Rosby]], Lady [[Tanda Stokeworth]] with her daughters [[Falyse Stokeworth| Falyse]] and [[Lollys Stokeworth|Lollys]], the exiled prince [[Jalabhar Xho]], and Lady [[Ermesande Hayford]], who is only a baby.

The Hound announces Sansa’s arrival at the royal box. Princess [[Myrcella Baratheon|Myrcella]] gives a shy nod, but Prince [[Tommen Baratheon|Tommen]] excitedly tells her that he is to ride in the tourney. Joffrey quickly interjects that Tommen will be riding against a straw quintain. After Ser Arys excuses himself, Joffrey studies Sansa and declares he is pleased she wore the stones he gave her. Sansa is relieved that Joffrey has chosen to play the gallant today.

[[File:MagaliVilleneuve JoffreyBaratheon.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Joffrey Baratheon – ©FFG]]

Once Sansa is seated, Joffrey informs her that the Beggar King [[Viserys Targaryen]] is dead. Joffrey is amused by the irony of a [[House Targaryen|dragon king]] being [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 46|killed]] with a molten gold crown. He suggests that perhaps he will feed Sansa’s brother Robb to wolves and boasts that he intends to challenge Robb to single combat. Sansa states that she would like to see that. Joffrey is suspicious of her meaning, so Sansa distracts him by asking if he will compete today. Joffrey responds that his mother claims it would not be fitting for him to compete in his own tourney, otherwise he would be champion. When asked to concur, the Hound says, “Against this lot? Why not?” When Sansa asks the Hound if he will joust, the scarred man replies that it would not be worth the bother, since this is a tourney of gnats. Joffrey suggests he should make the Hound fight the champion to the death, but the Hound replies that Joffrey would only be one knight the poorer (and the Hound is not a knight).

When the [[trumpet]]s sound, Joffrey takes Sansa’s hand, which repulses her, but she forces herself to be still.

In the first joust, Ser [[Meryn Trant]] of the Kingsguard defeats Ser [[Hobber Redwyne]] on the second pass. The [[House Redwyne|Redwyne]] twins are hostages like Sansa, and she doubts they entered the tourney voluntarily. Joffrey is disappointed by the poor show. Next, Ser [[Balon Swann]] faces the new-made squire [[Morros Slynt]], who is having difficulty with his lance. The sight of [[Janos Slynt]]’s heir takes Sansa back to the day her father was beheaded; it was Janos Slynt who threw her father down and held him while Ser [[Ilyn Payne]] swung the sword. Her prayer for Morros to embarrass himself is answered when the former commoner is violently unhorsed. Joffrey hoots in derision, telling Tommen that they picked the wrong foe for him, Morros jousts worse than a quintain. Then it is Ser [[Horas Redwyne]]’s turn. He fares better than his twin, unhorsing an old knight bedecked with silver griffins who makes a poor contest. Disgusted, Joffrey declares this a feeble show. He is getting bored and his mood is darkening, which worries Sansa.

[[File:Dontos Hollard.jpg|thumb|300px|left|”I lose! Fetch me some wine" – ©FFG]]

Next, Ser [[Dontos Hollard]] is called to face the freerider [[Lothor Brune]]. Brune takes his place, but Ser Dontos arrives drunk and half naked, struggling to catch and mount his horse. The audience all laugh at the drunken knight’s antics except for Joffrey. Eventually, Dontos gives up trying to mount, sits down in the dirt, forfeits the match, and asks for more wine. Joffrey stands and shouts, “A cask from the cellars! I’ll see him drowned in it.”

Without thinking, Sansa protests and is immediately shocked that she dared, given Joffrey’s mood. He turns on her, furious at being gainsaid, and Sansa struggles to make up a story that it is a curse to kill a man on one’s name day. Joffrey does not believe her, but the Hound comes to her rescue by agree that, “What a man sows on his name day, he reaps throughout the year.” Joffrey reluctantly agree to have the fool killed on the morrow. Sansa seizes the opportunity to suggest that Joffrey make Dontos wear motley and clown for him as a fool instead of executing him; he does not deserve the mercy of a quick death. Joffrey likes this idea and agrees. Ser Dontos thanks both Joffrey and Sansa.

Once Ser Dontos has been led away, the [[master of revels]] inquires whether he should summon a new opponent for Lothor Brune or proceed with the next tilt. Instead, Joffrey calls off the tourney in disgust, saying he would have them all put to death if it weren't his name day. Tommen vehemently protests that he was supposed to ride against the quintain. An argument among the royal siblings ensues. When Myrcella finally points out that their mother agreed, Joffrey mocks her for being childish, but Myrcella points out that they ’’are’’ children. The Hound, laughing, tells Joffrey that she has a point. Joffrey sullenly agrees.

Tommen’s opponent is a child-sized quintain wearing a helmet with antlers. Tommen hits it solidly, but it spins around to strike Tommen on the back of the head, unhorsing him. This incites a gale of laughter from the crowd, most of all from King Joffrey. Princess Myrcella rushes out to help her brother to his feet. Sansa, with queer courage, suggests that Joffrey should accompany her to help and tell Tommen he rode well. Joffrey angrily refuses, stating that getting unhorsed is not riding well. However, Tommen shows courage when he prepares to try again. Sansa finds herself wishing that Tommen was the eldest child; she wouldn’t mind marrying him.

Just then, the portcullis rises and the gates of the Red Keep open. A column of dusty horsemen enter under the golden lion banner of House Lannister. Some of the horsemen wear the armor of Lannister men-at-arms but the majority are freeriders, sellswords, and [[Vale mountain clans|monstrous savages]]. In their midst rides [[Tyrion Lannister]], the ugliest man Sansa has ever set eyes upon. Tommen and Myrcella rush to greet their uncle and Sansa is stunned to see that Tommen and Tyrion are the same height.

After greeting his niece and nephew, the dwarf waddles over to Joffrey, shadowed by a [[Bronn|black-haired sellsword]] and a [[Timett|one-eyed savage]]. When Tyrion greets him, Joffrey expresses surprise at Tyrion’s arrival and the Hound comments that they heard Tyrion was dead. Myrcella expresses happiness that he is alive. Tyrion thanks her and then gives his condolences to Joffrey and Sansa for the loss of their fathers. Sansa is speechless, wondering if Tyrion is mocking her. Joffrey is momentarily confused until Tyrion reminds him that his own father, King Robert, has also recently died. Joffrey responds “Oh, him. Yes, it was very sad, a boar killed him.” Tyrion asks him if that is what ‘they’ say. Sansa, armoring herself in courtesy, apologizes to Tyrion for his [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 28|abduction]] by her mother. Tyrion thanks Sansa for the sentiment, telling her that many people are sorry, and some will be even sorrier.

[[File:Thaldir Tyrion's Enforcers.jpg||thumb|300px|right|Tyrion Lannister – ©FFG]]

Then, Tyrion asks Joffrey where he might find Queen Cersei. Joffrey answers that she is with the small council; [[Jaime Lannister]] keeps losing battles and was captured, [[Battle of the Camps|Riverrun]] was lost, and Robb is calling himself king. Tyrion comments that all sorts of people are calling themselves kings these days. Suspicious of the comment, Joffrey tells Tyrion stiffly that he is happy he is alive, and asks about a gift for his name day. Tyrion responds that he has brought his wits, and Joffrey replies he would prefer Robb’s head. Before Joffrey departs with Myrcella and Tommen, the Hound tells Tyrion to guard his tongue. Sansa is left alone with Tyrion and his monsters.

Unable to think of anything else to say, Sansa comments on Tyrion's injured arm. Tyrion tells her that a northman hit him with a morning star, but he escaped by falling off his horse. Tyrion asks if it is mourning for her father that makes Sansa so sad. Sansa reflexively insists that her father, mother, and brother are traitors and that she is loyal to her beloved Joffrey. Tyrion is unconvinced and responds by comparing her to a [[deer]] surrounded by wolves. Sansa, without thinking, whispers “Lions.” The dwarf gently takes her hand and assures her that he is only a little lion and means her no harm, then departs.

Sansa notes that Tyrion speaks to her more gently than Joffrey, but then she remembers that Queen Cersei once spoke gently as well. She reminds herself that Tyrion is still a Lannister and that she must never trust a Lannister again.

__NOTOC__
[[Arya Stark]] is travelling north with [[Yoren]] of the [[Night's Watch]], disguised as a boy. When the orphan boy known as [[Hot Pie]] tries to steal her sword “[[Needle]],” Arya beats him bloody. Yoren takes her aside for punishment and reveals that [[Eddard Stark|her father]] was supposed to be allowed to take the black, rather than be executed.

==Synopsis==
[[File:Amokaarya.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Arya Stark as Arry the orphan – by Amok©]]

Arya used to think her nickname of “Arya Horseface” was bad, until the orphan boy [[Lommy Greenhands]] named her “Lumpyhead” because of her lumpy, uneven haircut. Her head actually feels lumpy when she touches it.

When [[Yoren]] dragged her into an alley after [[Eddard Stark|her father]]’s [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 65|execution]], Arya was sure he meant to kill her. Instead, the smelly old [[Night's Watch|black brother]] had only cut her hair and promised to deliver her to her home at [[Winterfell]] when he and his new recruits pass by. However, Yoren insisted that she pretend to be an orphan boy named Arry because half of the new recruits would turn her over to Queen [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei]] quick as spit for a pardon and a few silvers, and the other half would do the same but rape her first. Yoren claimed it should not be too hard to pass as a boy; the hardest part would be passing her water in the woods alone.

There are 30 of them; some of the recruits are orphan boys recruited with promises of food and clothing, but others are criminals from the dungeons under the [[Red Keep]]. The most frightening are the three from the [[black cells]], whom Yoren keeps chained in the back of a [[wagon]]. The five wagons contain supplies for the Wall: hides, bars of pig iron, a cage of ravens, cloth, books, paper, ink, [[sourleaf]], oil, medicine, and spices.

[[File:Yoren.jpg|thumb|170px|right|Yoren of the Night’s Watch – by Amok©]]

The gates of [[King's Landing]] were easy to pass, just as Yoren claimed. The [[House Lannister|Lannister]] guards were searching for the highborn daughter of the [[Hand of the King]], not a skinny boy with his hair chopped off. Yoren called one of them by name and they were waved through. As they were leaving, Arya wished that [[Blackwater Rush]] would rise and wash away the city until she remembered [[Sansa Stark|her sister]] would be washed away, too. Instead, she decided to wish for Winterfell.

Yoren was wrong about passing water being the hardest part. The men ignore her, but the orphan boys Lommy Greenhands and [[Hot Pie]] take her silence to mean she is frightened, stupid, or deaf. Arya is two years younger and quite a bit smaller than them. One morning, Lommy and Hot Pie begin questioning Arya about her sword, “[[Needle]],” wondering where she got it. Hot Pie sarcastically suggests that maybe she was a squire, but Lommy disagrees and argues that Needle is probably not even a real sword. Arya angrily shouts back that it is castle-forged steel, but this only gives rise to claims that she stole it. This angers Arya even more because Needle was a gift from her bastard brother [[Jon Snow]], and she will not let them call him a thief.

Then Hot Pie gets the idea that he can steal Needle from her and Lommy encourages him. Hot Pie’s declaration that she doesn’t even know how to use a sword takes Arya back to the stable boy she stabbed during her [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 50|escape]] from the [[Red Keep]], but she doesn't mention the incident. The boys continue to mock her, saying that she is going to cry and wet her pants.

[[Gendry|The Bull]]—an older boy with shaggy black hair and a bull-motif helmet—tells them to let her be, but Hot Pie continues. Arya attempts to diffuse the situation by offering to surrender her wooden practice sword, but Hot Pie threatens to beat her up like he did another boy and reaches for Needle. Arya uses her practice sword to whack Hot Pie’s donkey. The animal bucks and throws Hot Pie to the ground. Arya dismounts and breaks his nose with her practice sword before turning on Lommy, who cowers away in fear. The Bull shouts a warning and Arya turns to face Hot Pie. The injured boy throws a rock at her, but Arya ducks and closes the distance to strike him again on the hand, cheek, knee, and back of the head. Dazed and wounded, Hot Pie attempts to charge her, but Arya slips into a [[Water Dancer]] pose and stabs the boy in the groin.

By the time Yoren pulls her off, Arya has hit Hot Pie a dozen more times and the boy’s pants are brown and smelly. Yoren drags her off the road into a tangle of trees, cursing and muttering. There he orders her to drop her breeches and scream loudly, then whacks her several times with her own stick sword. Arya does not want to scream, but cannot help it, and her thighs and cheeks are ablaze with pain.

When he is finished, Yoren tells her that if she ever uses her stick sword on one of her companions again she will get twice what she gives. Yoren also explains that however much her punishment hurt, Hot Pie is feeling much worse. He points out that Hot Pie and Lommy had no part in her father’s death and hitting them won’t bring him back. Arya says she knows that. Yoren goes on to explain that he was set to leave when he received a message to wait for Lord Eddard, who was supposed to be allowed to take the black, only something went queer. Arya blames King [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]] and declares someone should kill him. Yoren replies that someone will, but not him and not her.

Afterward, Arya is unable to sit a donkey for several days, but Hot Pie is unable to do anything but lie in the back of a wagon for even longer and Lommy stays as far away from her as possible. The Bull points out that Lommy twitches whenever she looks at him now. Arya does not answer since it seems safer not to talk. That night, while looking up at the sky, the Bull calls the [[red comet]] the “Red Sword,” saying that it looks like a sword fresh from the forge. Arya can see it as a sword as well, but to her it is her father’s greatsword [[Ice]], covered with her father’s blood as it was after his head was cut off.

When she finally falls asleep, Arya dreams of Winterfell. She longs to see [[Catelyn Stark|her mother]], [[Robb Stark|Robb]], [[Bran Stark|Bran]], and [[Rickon Stark|Rickon]], but more than anyone she misses her brother [[Jon Snow|Jon]] on the Wall. She wishes that somehow they could come to the Wall before Winterfell, just so she could see Jon again.

'''Brandon Stark''', typically called '''Bran''', is the second son of Lord [[Eddard Stark]] and Lady [[Catelyn Stark|Catelyn Tully]]. He is one of the major [[POV character]]s in the books. He has four older siblings—[[Robb Stark|Robb]], [[Jon Snow|Jon]], [[Sansa Stark|Sansa]], [[Arya Stark|Arya]]—and one younger—[[Rickon Stark|Rickon]]. Like his siblings, he is constantly accompanied by his [[direwolf]], [[Summer]], with whom he shares a strong [[Skinchanger|warg]] connection.{{Ref|ACOK|21}} He is seven years old at the beginning of ''[[A Game of Thrones]]''. In the television adaptation ''[[Game of Thrones]]'' he is played by [[w:Isaac Hempstead-Wright|Isaac Hempstead-Wright]].<ref name=hbo/>

==Appearance and Character==
:''See also: [[:Category:Images of Bran Stark|Images of Bran Stark]]''
Bran favors his mother [[Catelyn Stark|Catelyn]] in appearance, having the thick auburn hair and deep blue eyes of the [[House Tully|Tullys]].{{Ref|AGOT|7}}{{Ref|AGOT|14}}

Bran is a sweet and thoughtful boy, well-loved by everyone at [[Winterfell]]. He has a fascination with climbing and exploring along the walls and ramparts of the castle. Catelyn once jested that Bran could climb before he could walk, however, his climbing often distresses her.{{Ref|AGOT|6}} Like his siblings, Bran is also dutiful and tough-minded, but also possesses a propensity for adventure and excitement; he yearns to see far off places one day and dreams of becoming a [[knight]].{{Ref|ACOK|28}} His half-brother [[Jon Snow]] fondly thinks to himself that Bran was always "stubborn and curious", and in like manner constantly wanted to join in the play of the older boys, believing himself an adult at seven.{{Ref|AGOT|19}}

Bran owns grey breeches and a white doublet, the sleeves and collar of which are trimmed with vair.{{ref|ACOK|16}}{{ref|ACOK|21}} When riding, he wears a dark grey woolen surcoat with [[silver]] buttons, as well as fur-lined boots and gloves.{{ref|AGOT|37}} Bran clasps his fur-trimmed cloak with a heavy silver pin,{{ref|AGOT|37}} but the boy's favorite clasp{{ref|ACOK|37}} is a [[wolf]]'s-head brooch of silver and polished [[jet]] which makes him look [[lord]]ly.{{ref|ACOK|21}}

==History==
[[File:Ned Bran.jpg|thumb|350px|[[Eddard Stark]] and Bran - by Amok ©]]
Born at [[Winterfell]] in {{Date|290}} at the height of summer, Bran is the second son and fourth child of [[Catelyn Stark|Catelyn Tully]] and [[Eddard Stark]], head of [[House Stark]]. He is [[named after]] his late uncle, Eddard's elder brother [[Brandon Stark|Brandon]], whose death was one of the major events that led to [[Robert's Rebellion]] in {{Date|282}}.{{Ref|ACOK|69}}

Bran has three older siblings ([[Robb Stark|Robb]], [[Sansa Stark|Sansa]], and [[Arya Stark|Arya]]) and one younger ([[Rickon Stark|Rickon]]). He also has a [[bastard]] half-brother, [[Jon Snow]]. As a child, Bran was educated by Maester [[Luwin]] and trained with [[armament|weapons]] by the master-at-arms, Ser [[Rodrik Cassel]]. A year before Bran's birth, in {{Date|289}}, Eddard brought to Winterfell a hostage, [[Theon Greyjoy]], the last surviving son of [[Balon Greyjoy]], [[Lord of the Iron Islands]]. Although Robb and Theon became close after [[Greyjoy's Rebellion]], Bran never warmed to his father's ward.{{Ref|AGOT|38}}

Bran enjoys exploring the castle, as he believes it allows him to know its secrets. Since he was a babe, Bran often climbed the walls of Winterfell, scaring Catelyn to death. Once, she pleaded for him to stop, and extracted a promise for him to do so, which he kept for barely a fortnight. When Bran, wracked with guilt, confessed this to Eddard, he ordered his son to the [[Winterfell godswood]] to cleanse himself, where Bran was eventually found asleep in the tallest [[sentinel tree]]. Ned then accepted his climbing, but told him to try to not let his lady mother see him.{{Ref|AGOT|8}} Lady Stark then turned to others in the castle: first, Maester Luwin, who once made a boy out of pottery and threw it from Winterfell's walls to show Bran what would happen if the boy were to fall while climbing, then, to [[Old Nan]], who told him a story of a boy who climbed too high, was struck by lightning and had his eyes eaten by [[crow]]s, and finally the castle guards, who chased Bran from tower to tower in an attempt to haul him down. Each attempt was fruitless, and Bran continued his climbing.{{Ref|AGOT|8}} The boy enjoys swinging from the [[gargoyle]]s of the [[First Keep]] and feeding corn to the crows atop the [[broken tower]].{{Ref|AGOT|8}}

Bran loves hearing Old Nan's stories, preferring the scary ones above all else concerning the [[children of the forest]], the [[Long Night]], and the [[Others]].{{Ref|ACOK|2}}{{Ref|AGOT|28}} He is also enthralled by tales of [[mystery knight]]s and the [[Kingsguard]], and asks to hear their stories over and over until their names become like music to him. However, he is disappointed to be informed by his father that the new Kingsguard is not as it once was.{{Ref|AGOT|8}}

==Recent Events==
===''A Game of Thrones''===
[[File:Aaron Riley the things I do for love.jpg|thumb|[[Jaime Lannister]] pushes Bran from the [[First Keep]] window, by Aaron Riley © Fantasy Flight Games]]
Bran is among a group of twenty who witness his father, Lord [[Eddard Stark]], dispense the king's justice to [[Gared]], a deserter of the [[Night's Watch]], the first time Bran is allowed to accompany such a group.{{Ref|AGOT|1}} When they find a dead [[direwolf]] and her pups on the way back to [[Winterfell]], Bran passionately protests against killing the pups. Bran and each of the other Stark siblings receives one of the young animals as a pet.{{Ref|AGOT|1}}

When Eddard is named [[Hand of the King]], Bran is excited at the prospect of seeing the knights and royalty of [[King's Landing]], yet he is still apprehensive about leaving.{{Ref|AGOT|8}} During the royal visit to Winterfell, Bran fights Prince [[Tommen Baratheon]] in the yard under the supervision of master-at-arms, Ser [[Rodrik Cassel]], which ends in Bran's victory.{{Ref|AGOT|7}}

When King [[Robert I Baratheon]] and the older men leave on a hunting trip, Bran begins climbing to Winterfell's [[broken tower]] so he can feed the [[crow]]s one last time. When near a window in the [[First Keep]], however, he discovers Queen [[Cersei Lannister]] and her brother, Ser [[Jaime Lannister|Jaime]], having sex, although the boy does not understand their actions. Jaime pushes Bran from the window, intending to kill the boy to keep the incestuous love affair a secret,{{Ref|AGOT|8}} but Bran survives and enters a coma.{{Ref|AGOT|9}}

While Bran is comatose, an attempt is made on his life by an unnamed [[catspaw]] with a [[Valyrian steel dagger]]. His mother, [[Catelyn Stark]], delays the assassin long enough for Bran's unnamed direwolf to arrive and tear out his throat.{{Ref|AGOT|14}} In the meantime, Bran has many visions in his coma, including a hazy memory of falling from the tower, a [[three-eyed crow]] that tells him it can teach him to fly, and the [[Land of Always Winter|heart of winter]]. With the crow's guidance, Bran wakes and immediately names his direwolf "[[Summer]]".{{Ref|AGOT|17}}

Crippled by his fall, Bran is confined to a tower chamber where [[Old Nan]] keeps him company. She tells Bran stories of the [[north]] and the [[Long Night]].{{Ref|AGOT|24}} When [[Tyrion Lannister]] stops at Winterfell on his way back from the [[Wall]], he gives schematics for a saddle designed for Bran's crippled form, despite threats from Bran's brother [[Robb Stark|Robb]], acting as Lord of Winterfell, and the direwolves. Bran, however, is overjoyed at the prospect of learning to ride again.{{Ref|AGOT|24}} [[Joseth]] trains [[Dancer]] to obey Bran's commands.{{ref|AGOT|37}} Later, while testing Tyrion's suggestion out on a ride in the [[wolfswood]], Bran is ambushed by a band of [[free folk|wildlings]] and [[Night's Watch]] deserters, but is rescued by Robb, [[Theon Greyjoy]], [[Grey Wind]], and Summer.{{Ref|AGOT|37}}

Afterwards, Bran begins to bond with the sole survivor of that band, [[Osha]], due to their shared faith in the [[old gods]]. When Robb calls the northern banners following Lord Eddard's arrest in [[King's Landing]], Bran witnesses the incident with the [[Jon Umber|Greatjon]], and is the acting Lord of Winterfell when Robb rides south.{{Ref|AGOT|53}}

Later, Bran has a dream of his father in the [[crypt of Winterfell]]. He ventures there with Osha, finding nothing. [[Rickon Stark]] also reveals that he dreamed the same dream last night. Almost immediately after leaving the crypts, Maester Luwin receives a raven-borne message informing Winterfell of Ned's execution by King [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey I Baratheon]]'s command.{{Ref|AGOT|66}}

===''A Clash of Kings''===
[[File:Bran stark and raven by daaria.jpg|thumb|Bran and a [[raven]], by Daria ©]]
After [[Robb Stark|Robb]] becomes [[King in the North]], Bran, as Robb's heir, becomes the [[Prince of Winterfell]], and he rules the castle in his brother's absence.{{Ref|ACOK|16}} Bran dislikes his mother Catelyn's new wards, [[Walder Frey (son of Jammos)|Big Walder]] and [[Walder Frey (son of Merrett)|Little Walder Frey]].{{Ref|ACOK|4}} Bran meets several bannermen during the [[harvest feast]] and he befriends [[Meera Reed|Meera]] and [[Jojen Reed]], children of his father Eddard's most trusted friend, Lord [[Howland Reed]].{{Ref|ACOK|21}}

While sleeping, Bran frequently enters [[Summer]]'s mind—though the boy thinks he is simply dreaming—and begins to become more bestial. Jojen recognizes Bran's ability as [[skinchanger|skinchanging]], and instructs him on how to use it properly. After learning of Bran's visions, Jojen claims that if Bran goes north [[beyond the Wall]], he can find the [[three-eyed crow]] from his dreams. Maester Luwin, however, does not believe that Jojen has [[greensight]].{{Ref|ACOK|28}}

[[Theon Greyjoy]], Eddard's ward, [[Capture of Winterfell|captures Winterfell]] and, claiming to be the Prince of Winterfell, holds Bran and Rickon as hostages. Bran, Rickon, Osha, Hodor, and the Reeds escape one night{{Ref|ACOK|50}} and hide in the [[crypt of Winterfell|crypts]].{{Ref|ACOK|69}} Unable to find them in the [[wolfswood]],{{Ref|ACOK|50}} Theon has two miller's boys murdered and skinned by "[[Reek]]" and proclaims them to be Bran and Rickon.{{Ref|ACOK|56}} Theon prevents Luwin from burying the bodies in the crypts.{{Ref|ACOK|56}}

At [[Riverrun]], Catelyn is informed that Bran and Rickon were captured by Theon on the [[Acorn Water]] and their heads are now displayed at Winterfell.{{Ref|ACOK|55}} [[Jaime Lannister]], a captive since the [[Battle in the Whispering Wood|Whispering Wood]], admits to Catelyn that he flung Bran from a window but insists he was not involved with the [[catspaw]]'s attempt on Bran's life.{{Ref|ACOK|55}}

In the [[Skirling Pass]], [[Jon Snow]], Bran's half-brother, dreams he is his own direwolf, [[Ghost]]. A dreaming Jon sees a three-eyed Bran in the face of a [[weirwood]].{{Ref|ACOK|53}}

Theon is eventually betrayed by Reek, actually [[Ramsay Snow]], the bastard of Lord [[Roose Bolton]]. Men of [[House Bolton]] scatter Ser [[Rodrik Cassel]]'s men in a [[battle at Winterfell|battle in the winter town]]. Ramsay then orders the killing of Theon's [[ironborn]] and the [[sack of Winterfell]], although he spares the Freys.{{Ref|ACOK|66}}

Bran and his companions emerge from the crypts to find Winterfell in ruins. The brothers find a mortally-wounded Maester Luwin, who advises their traveling party to split. Rickon and Osha set off in the direction of [[White Harbor]]. Bran, Hodor, and the Reed siblings set off north to seek the [[three-eyed crow]].{{Ref|ACOK|69}}

===''A Storm of Swords''===
[[File:MiguelRegodónHarkness_Bran_Hodor.jpg‎|thumb|[[Hodor]] carrying Bran in a basket, by Miguel Regodón Harkness ©]]

The burning of Winterfell is attributed to Theon, and Ramsay is said to be flaying Theon in vengeance for the supposed deaths of Bran and Rickon.{{Ref|ASOS|48}} Ramsay conspired with Theon regarding the miller's children, so Bolton men search the [[north]] for the real Bran and Rickon.{{Ref|ASOS|24}} Bran travels in secret with [[Meera Reed|Meera]], [[Jojen Reed|Jojen]], and [[Hodor]], avoiding the main roads. They stay at the so-called [[Tumbledown Tower]] and Jojen warns Bran against staying too long in [[Summer]].{{Ref|ASOS|9}}

When the weather turns colder in the [[northern mountains]], Summer finds shelter and they meet a [[House Liddle|Liddle]] who shares his food with them. When they ask if they should take the [[kingsroad]], the [[northern mountain clans|clansman]] tells them that it is treacherous for travelers, as [[War of the Five Kings|the war]] has made everywhere dangerous. The group decide to head to the [[Nightfort]] instead of [[Castle Black]] due to Jojen's [[greensight|green dream]]. Meera then tells Bran about the [[Knight of the Laughing Tree]], a story which the Reeds are surprised that Bran has never heard before.{{Ref|ASOS|24}}

En route to the [[Wall]], the party stops in the [[Gift]] at [[Queenscrown]], an abandoned holdfast surrounded by water, which they are able to get to due to a concealed passageway through the moat remembered by Bran from one of [[Old Nan]]'s stories. While hidden inside the tower they spot men in the village. Hodor is terrified by a thunderstorm, so Bran briefly enters the stableboy's mind to calm him.{{Ref|ASOS|40}} Summer attacks the men, among whom is Bran's half-brother, [[Jon Snow]]. Bran then enters Summer's mind and attacks the men trying to slay Jon, giving him the opportunity to escape his [[wildling]] companions. Summer is wounded by an arrow in the skirmish, but manages to recover after being treated by Meera.{{Ref|ASOS|41}}

The troupe eventually reaches the Wall at the Nightfort, and, while sleeping, Bran is awoken by footsteps. At first, the group are terrified to have been discovered, and Bran again enters Hodor's mind. As Meera attacks the intruders, Bran recognizes one as a brother of the [[Night's Watch]] and meets [[Samwell Tarly]], accompanied by the wildling [[Gilly]]. Sam leads them through a secret door at the bottom of a well that takes them through to the north side of the Wall. There they meet [[Coldhands]], an enigmatic figure of uncertain allegiance. Bran, Jojen and Coldhands all extract a promise from Sam that he will tell no one that they are alive. Sam reluctantly agrees, even keeping the secret from Jon Snow, his sworn brother of the Night's Watch.{{Ref|ASOS|56}}

Bran's mother, [[Catelyn Stark|Catelyn]], and brother, King [[Robb Stark|Robb]], are slain in the [[Red Wedding]].{{Ref|ASOS|51}} The [[Iron Throne]] legitimizes Ramsay and names his father, Lord [[Roose Bolton]], the new [[Warden of the North]].{{Ref|ASOS|72}}

===''A Feast For Crows''===
At the Wall, Samwell is summoned to Jon, the new [[Lord Commander of the Night's Watch]], who mentions his message to the new king, [[Tommen Baratheon|Tommen I Baratheon]], requesting aid for the Watch. He notes bitterly that Bran once bested Tommen at swords in the yard at [[Winterfell]]; now Bran is dead, and Tommen sits upon the [[Iron Throne]]. Sam wants to tell Jon his brother is alive and [[beyond the Wall]], but he keeps his promise and does not say a word.{{Ref|AFFC|5}}

===''A Dance with Dragons''===
[[File:Three eyed crow Marc Simonetti.jpg|300px|thumb|Bran meets the [[three-eyed crow]]. by Marc Simonetti©]]

Bran, [[Meera Reed|Meera]], [[Jojen Reed|Jojen]], [[Hodor]], and [[Coldhands]] continue their journey through the [[haunted forest]] in search of the [[three-eyed crow]]. Bran begins to become infatuated with Meera, while Jojen grows thin and weak. The journey is long and cold, and they suffer on the brink of starvation. The group is briefly left by Coldhands, who returns after killing [[mutiny at Craster's Keep|oathbreakers]] of the [[Night's Watch]]. To try and sate his hunger, Bran feasts on the flesh of the deserters while inside [[Summer]].{{Ref|ADWD|4}}. Returning to his own skin, Bran eats meat which Coldhands claims to be pig.{{Ref|ADWD|4}}

As they continue north, Coldhands' elk collapses and is butchered by the ranger and Meera for meat. Despite promising himself he would rather go hungry than feast on a friend, Bran eats the meat twice; once in his own skin, and once in Summer's. The steaks sustain the group for seven days.{{Ref|ADWD|13}}

In the depths of the haunted forest, the group is ambushed by [[wights]] outside the [[cave of the three-eyed crow]], and Bran enters Hodor's mind to fight off the wights. Inside they meet one of the [[children of the forest]], [[Leaf]], who reveals she saved them by burning the wights. However, the cave is warded against [[white walkers]] and wights, so Coldhands cannot accompany them inside. Leaf takes them deeper into the cave, underneath [[weirwood]] roots and across a floor of bones, until they reach a skeletal body sitting on a throne made of roots - the three-eyed crow, the last [[greenseer]]. The pale lord tells Bran that the boy will not walk again, but he will fly.{{Ref|ADWD|13}}

The three-eyed crow, whom Bran learns was named [[Brynden Rivers|Brynden]],{{Ref|ADWD|34}} begins to teach Bran about [[greensight]] and [[skinchanger|skinchanging]]. Bran is fed [[weirwood paste]], which awakens his greenseeing gifts. He then enters the weirwood roots around them and sees his father, [[Eddard Stark|Eddard]], through [[Winterfell godswood|Winterfell's heart tree]] in the past. Grief-stricken, Bran tries to speak to Ned, but all that is heard is a whisper on the wind. Brynden explains that Bran can learn from the past through the weirwoods, but it is impossible to change it.{{Ref|ADWD|34}}

Bran continues to enter Hodor to explore the deeper parts of the cave, with the stableboy no longer resisting and the Reeds unaware. When the crow sends him to rest, Bran dreams through the [[heart tree]] in the [[godswood of Winterfell]] and sees flashes of the past as far back as the old [[King in the North|Kings of Winter]]:{{Ref|ADWD|34}}

{{Quote|I'd sooner be a [[wolf]]. Then I could live in the wood and sleep when I wanted, and I could find [[Arya Stark|Arya]] and [[Sansa Stark|Sansa]]. I'd smell where they were and go save them, and when [[Robb Stark|Robb]] went to battle I'd fight beside him like [[Grey Wind]]. I'd tear out [[Jaime Lannister|the Kingslayer]]'s throat with my teeth, ''rip'', and then [[War of the Five Kings|the war]] would be over and everyone would come back to [[Winterfell]].

Hi, I am Scafloc.

I live in [[w:Groningen|Groningen]], [[w:Netherlands|The Netherlands]].

Great idea to have a Wiki about [[A Song of Ice and Fire]]! I have worked on some of the [[w:ASOIF|ASOIF]] pages on [[w:Main_Page|Wikipedia]]. Wikipedia is great but for fans there is not enough detail (not should there be because too much detail may scare of other users of Wikipedia).

'''New projects'''
* Using the hidden table feature. It has to look better then it currently does.
* [[A Dance with Dragons]] summaries. Still a number to go or to improve.
* Some of the battles can use a map:
**[[Battle of the Blackwater]]
**[[Battle of Castle Black]]
*Revision of [[House Targaryen]] article
*To improved to feature pages:
**[[Arya Stark]]
**[[Tyrion Lannister]]
*Interwikilinks
**The new idea is to use the api's of each wiki to see what links. For instance if Laguarde de Nuit links "[http://www.lagardedenuit.com/wiki/index.php?title=A_Dance_with_Dragons A Dance with Dragons]" to
our "[[A Dance with Dragons]]" AND to "[http://chronarda.ru/wiki/index.php/Танец_с_Драконами Танец с Драконами]" and we don't then we should! And of course French vs English can be easily recognized (LGN [http://www.lagardedenuit.com/wiki/index.php?title=A_Clash_of_Kings,_Chapitre_69,_Jon A Clash of Kings, Chapitre 69, Jon] = AWOIAF [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 69]].
**Usefull links:
***http://awoiaf.westeros.org/api.php?format=xml&action=query&generator=allpages&prop=langlinks&llurl&gaplimit=5000&gapfrom=A (1st 500 pages with langlinks up from A from AWOIAF
***http://www.lagardedenuit.com/wiki/api.php?format=xml&action=query&generator=allpages&prop=langlinks&llurl&gaplimit=5000&gapfrom=A The same but now for LGD
***http://zh.asoiaf.wikia.com/api.php?format=xml&action=query&generator=allpages&prop=langlinks&llurl&gaplimit=5000&gapfrom=A and for the Chinese wiki

***http://hieloyfuego.wikia.com/api.php?format=xml&action=query&generator=allpages&prop=langlinks&llurl&gaplimit=5000&gapfrom=A Spanish
**As I do not understand anything about bots I use [http://www.iopus.com/iMacros/ iMacros]. They even have their [http://wiki.imacros.net/Main_Page own wiki]. The only problem is that you cannot use If / Else constructions within the macro itself.

Hello. Thanks for helping with the quotes. The Tyrion quote, "Give me sweet lies and keep your bitter truths" is from "A Storm of Swords." It is on page 903. It is Chapter 66, Tyrion IX. Please let me know if you need any additional information. I have the books on kindle so searching for things is easy. -Kyle

==Daeryssa==
Three reasons why I made Daeryssa a Targaryen. One Serwyn of the Mirror-shield, a knight of the Kingsguard. They were founded by the Targaryens. Two the spelling of her name is consistent with the spelling of those of Valyrian descent. Her title princess eliminates the other valyrian houses, Baratheon, Qoherys and Velaryon. I`m also sure that somewhere, Martin said she was Targaryen, I just have not found that link yet.

But doesn't Tyrion say that Serwyn was never even in the Kingsguard because he lived before the Conquest? I think probably Daeryssa is a princess of one of the old Andal kingdoms, and the smallfolk have misremembered the details. --[[User:Ser_Aeron_Connel|Ser_Aeron_Connel]] 20:32, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

== Shields ==
Hi. Great work on all the coats of arms you have done. I'd like to fill in a few gaps. Obviously the design studio program has its limitations, but I have done some shields in another program. The only thing is, the shield shape is slightly different to the ones you have done. Does that matter? --[[User:Crackclaw|Crackclaw]] 22:29, 15 November 2010 (CST)

== Maps ==
Originally I was just going to list all the places on the maps and consider them like another appendix because I was unsure about the copyright status of the maps. I like your idea of the non-copyright maps but I have to admit that I have no idea how to make or edit those. That being said, something like the fan art maps on Westeros would be great. A map where you can see all the sites on one map because even the maps of the south and north change from book to book, places are dropped, names are added. That's why I was adding a reference to each map from each book. Mainly because the map of the north in AFFC has a bunch of names that are not on the AGOT map.

On the other hand, if we are going to put spoiler-like tags on each book section in articles, should the maps have the same progression? Or should there just be one map with everything on it? In the meantime while we make our own maps if that's what we want to do, are the maps fair-use? I assumed since they weren't considered publicity material they wouldn't be available.[[User:The Pale Griffin|The Pale Griffin]] 17:23, 18 March 2011 (CDT)

:: It's my understanding that as long as the maps is the "subject for commentary in the article" there is no problem of using the original maps, which means that we can definitively use it for all those [[:Category:Maps|articles]]. Cant say for sure for the rest thou. btw great new seven kingdoms map scafloc, cheers [[User:Mordin999|Mor]] 18:14, 1 September 2011 (CDT)

===Wow, Fantastic Work===
Wow, Fantastic work on the maps. They look fantastic! [[User:The Pale Griffin|The Pale Griffin]] 10:52, 10 April 2011 (CDT)

===Battle Maps===
Fantastic work once again Scafloc. Seriously, you're really outdoing yourself there.[[User:The Pale Griffin|The Pale Griffin]] 17:45, 10 August 2011 (CDT)

==Images==
===Amoka Pictures===
Thanks. I kinda knew you weren't saying that about me, it was more directed at the people who complained without contributing. I thought it was unfair of them to be piling on you after you had made the effort of putting those pictures up. I also thought it unfair that they assumed you would change it since you had put the first set of pictures up. That's why I offered to help, instead of dumping all that work on you. Also, the cynical part of me knew that those same people who had been complaining had never contributed, so I knew they weren't going to do anything. Thanks for doing the stuff you do on the project. Anyone like me can add the info. The templates and the pictures, that's the harder stuff. Just wanted to say I appreciate it.([[User:The Pale Griffin|The Pale Griffin]] 18:16, 14 June 2011 (CDT))

===COA===
Thanks for your kind words on the new coats of arms. I'm reaching my limits a bit with the skills and software I have. Anything Rayonne is beyond me. As is stuff like two-headed pelicans! Plus some of GRRM's descriptions do not make sense either! --[[User:Crackclaw|Crackclaw]] 18:20, 16 August 2011 (CDT)

===CSS===
Wow, that is fantastic. Thanks for the tip.[[User:The Pale Griffin|The Pale Griffin]] 19:17, 11 August 2011 (CDT)

===New Images==
About the new images that have been added to the wiki in recent days. Do you know if we are allowed to use Other-in-Laws images? I know the Amoka Targaryen stuff is being used without permission. As are most of the maps that have been uploaded. I'm just worried that things are starting to spiral out of control on the wiki.

Hi Scafloc! I'm Rhaena, the admin of the wiki in spanish. I wanted to ask for your help: I have been trying to create a template in my wiki similar to [[Template:Kings of Westeros]], but my knowledge about template creation is almost none. Could you help me? I don't know very well what I must do to create a similar template in my wiki, but I thought it would be better if I ask you first, instead of doing something wrong and create a "monster-template".

==Ideas & suggestions==
I've opened up the main page for editing. I'd love to eventually get this page looking like [http://lotr.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page LotR Wikia's] or [http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Main_Page Battlestar Wiki's], but one step at a time. ([[User:Ran|Ran]] 02:20, 23 April 2007 (CDT))

::Agreed! Excellent work, Scafloc. --[[User:Ran|Ran]] 09:59, 8 May 2007 (CDT)

I updated the layout and colors. It's aint no LOTR layout nor do I like the colors I choose (personally I like the brownish colors) but untill we get a new CSS colors and start changing everything I went with the formal wikipidea look to keep consistant with the rest of the interface. I hope you like it (if not we can always revert), if there is anything you dont like please post some feedback. [[User:Mordin999|Mor]] 18:15, 25 August 2011 (CDT)

Few people said they liked the new layout. While I think it was an improvement, we are still have a long way to go, also to be Honest I HATE the new color scheme, i made it on my old crappy laptop at work, where it looked great but since then I seen it on few other newer monitors and it looks saturated, crude and ugly to me, I just wish someone would point it out to me at the time. Anyway, we probably have a long way before our next redesign but i thought to start some discussion and see what you guys want and like to see, here are few things that on my reference list for further work:
# [http://theportalwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page Portal Wiki] I really like the simplistic design of their main page, its simple, informative and easy on the eyes. (additionally they have a spoiler thingy but I am not sure how it is relevant here).
# [http://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Portal:Books tolkiengateway] I like their Book portal, its simple, informative and easy on the eyes.
# [http://lotr.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page Lotr wikai Ran linked] I like their sidebar menus, which show that we dont nessary need banners, sometimes simple layout is better.
# [http://www.westeros.org/GoT/ westeros] and the [http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/forum/20-general-asoiaf/ forum] because Ran has expressed his wish that all the sites have a unified scheme and while I personally dont particularly fond of the color scheme or think that it fits the wiki huge text walls, the must be taken into account in any design.
# Most of all content is the king, thus any idea should first consider our content and needs first.

==="News" paragraph===
I'd like to add a paragraph to the Main Page with the latest News. The news can be anything interesting that is linked to the series but is not an article itself, as there are enough of those. For instance the confirmation of a new actor / actress, site maintenance of Westeros or news about the next Dunk and Egg novel. Please add your thoughts. [[User:Scafloc|Scafloc]] 09:52, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

==Navigation==
Although the main portals to content are in the top header, has anyone considered doubling them up and providing a section of the main page to also link to them ''(the portals for Books · Chapter Summaries · Characters · Houses · History · Geography · Organizations · TV Series)''? It just seems like having the main left column top area devoted to a navigational intersection would probably be a good idea. Thoughts? For an example: [http://reddead.wikia.com/wiki/Red_Dead_Wiki RedDeadWiki]'s left section that has a small button link to main portals.
Additionally, is anyone opposed to adding information about other media releases of the series ''(example: the rpgs and upcoming games)''? {{User:Hooper/autosig2}} 01:44, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
: I think that the Idea of devoting some additional space on the mainpage, for site navigation is a good one, as at the moment it's too small and easy to miss and we want to make it as the experience as intuitive and effective, as possible. we could easily replace the stale "What keeps us occupied?" sction and move the "about" section as footer. With that being said we have added the portals only recently and still in the process of finalizing few of them, so it's a little problematic to design the layout before we finish it, plus I would love if we could make them with some simple representative art(to add some colour to the page) not just big buttons, the problem that we donr really have anything like that yet, you may have noticed that most of the portals images are place holders I made on paint... yeah ...

: so personally I'd prefer to wait untill we have all the content before we start with this, but other than that IMO it's great idea, we can see it's being used on [http://lotr.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page LotR Wikia's] and [http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Main_Page Battlestar Wiki's] that were suggested before as reference. our french [http://www.lagardedenuit.com/wiki/index.php?title=Accueil sister project] doing a good job of it, also for reference here is [http://theportalwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page portal wiki] doing a great job of simplistic design and [http://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Main_Page tolkiengateway] that apparently was my inspiration for some of the portals. [[User:Mordin999|Mor]] 19:21, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

In the last Iteration of our main page, we introduced banners to our main page as suggested by 'Hooper' above. While they are very crude and ugly(I warned you I am no artist) IMO the layout change is a step in the right direction and should improve the wiki navigation, providing better access to the various materials on the wiki. --[[User:Mordin999|Mor]] 09:56, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

== References ==
Do we need the references section on the main page? because the more quotes and 'did you knows' we will add the more cluttered the main page will get with the endless list of ref's.

The way I see it there are few way to deal with it:
# Remove the section and make sure that that the info presented is referenced on the linked pages.
# split the reference list on the into two columns <nowiki>{{reference|2}}</nowiki> (which will cause problems for those with low screen res)columb
# split the reference list into two and make its text smaller <nowiki><small>{{reference|2}}</small></nowiki> as it is not the focus of the Main page.
# The current situation is acceptable - Do nothing.
# ?

The references on the main page are very important to show were the information on the qotes came from. Making the reference section small and 2 columns is good at equalizing the length of the columns on full sized screens.
you could also reduce the white space on the left column. To improve the appearance of the images in the right column use a center html around the groups of images. see [[Main Page/Test 1]]

[[User:ASHaber|Ser Ash the Red]] 23:21, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

I seen you have updated the Reference, so this is resolved then. As for the white space problem, while the center tag does make it nicer, it is not the solution. The problem is that my calculation were a bit off, because [http://i39.tinypic.com/34pdlyo.jpg this] is how you suppose to see it, as mentioned I am working with native 1680x1050, so sometimes I miss those things, thanks for pointing out. I have a solution in mind for this and other problems I had with cursed html, if it wont work i'd just resize it. --[[User:Mordin999|Mor]] 01:03, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

== Main Page ==
I just joined the wiki and wanted to point out that the character tab on the main page is spelled incorrectly. Otherwise, I like the changes.

It's my bad, it was late and I was trying to finish them all. I'll update it as soon, thanks for pointing it out. (I will also upload all the source files, to allow everyone to make fixes or further improvements) --[[User:Mordin999|Mor]] 22:15, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

-----------

I fixed the Characters graphic for ya, but I'm not sure I know how to upload it / or re-direct the image link to the new file. --[[User:Tyrion of House Lannister|Tyrion of House Lannister]] 00:19, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

I figured it out....it's not as clean as I'd like, but I figured getting something up there that was passable was better than having the typo remain on the main page....obviously, Mor, you're welcome to replace it with your corrected original file whenever you get a chance....but at least now it's not as urgent and you can get around to it whenever. :) --[[User:Tyrion of House Lannister|Tyrion of House Lannister]] 00:31, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

I see you solved it. for further use here the location of the [[:Category:Portal_Images|Portal Images]], you should choose the Image you worked on and click on the ''Upload a new version of this file''. We have tiny problem with re-uploads, so the thumbs might not be up-to-date --[[User:Mordin999|Mor]] 00:43, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

== Edit War In Progress.... ==

Another user has been overwriting and applying incorrect edits to a navigation template. Can these templates be protected to keep this user off them and end the edit war? [[User:Dkendr|Dkendr]] 16:08, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

== Sections ==

* I think it should be "Featured" Article/Quote rather than "Feature" Article/Quote. I mean, "featured" is the adjective that describes the article/quote, while "feature" is, well, it's a noun and kind of awkward paired with another noun... Uh, correct me if I'm wrong.

* Also, shouldn't it be "quotes" rather than "quote"? There seems to be more than one.

* Lastly, maybe change "Did you know..." to "Did you know that..." and it would connect well with the entries there, such as "''Did you know that'' the lords of House Arryn..." rather than "''Did you know'' the lords of House Arryn...".

Sorry, the points I mentioned above just felt kinda awkward grammatically to me, though I'm not really super expert on English or anything... – [[User:Sinslash|Sinslash]] 18:57, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

==pictures==
it was from fantasy flight games pictures, i saw many of them in this wiki used, so thats why i used them, if it is problem i can change them back. --[[User:Marco|Marco]] 15:28, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

== Automatic searchbox highlight ==

Is its possible to make the wiki's searchbox automatically highlighted when the page is loaded?--[[User:Octavio Malibaires|Octavio Malibaires]] 15:49, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
:Perhaps. To do this we need two things: time and more time ;-)
:We have only one administrator: Ran and as he a lot to do he probably does not have enough time to look into this. So if you really want it you should check how this can be done. It is probably a [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Extensions wiki extension] that has to be installed. And if you have found it you have to convince Ran to install it. Regards,[[User:Scafloc|Scafloc]] 15:44, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
::Thanks! I will look into it. Also, sorry for not signing my message earlier hehe --[[User:Octavio Malibaires|Octavio Malibaires]] 15:49, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

== Double spaces ==
For consistency, we should reach a consensus on whether to use two spaces after periods. I think it's pointless but some editors do this. --[[User:Potsk|Potsk]] ([[User talk:Potsk|talk]]) 11:49, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

==Wikis in Other Languages==
The Dutch wiki was removed from the list (though the Main page is still linked to the Dutch one). Was this done on purpose or was it a mistake -> the list contains now 10 wikis but the header says "Eleven sisters". [[User:Scafloc|Scafloc]] ([[User talk:Scafloc|talk]]) 11:12, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

==Synopsis==
There have been more murders by the [[Harpy's Sons]] on the streets of [[Meereen]]. This time they involved an attack on fully-armed [[Unsullied]] in pairs. Nine died, including one of [[Missandei]]'s brothers, [[Mossador]]. Once again, [[Daenerys Targaryen|Daenerys]] orders an investigation, permitting [[Skahaz mo Kandaq]] to torture a wineseller when she discovers that three [[freedmen]] were among the slain. Furious, Dany orders the Unsullied to restrict themselves to patrolling the walls, and imposes a blood tax on the great families of Meereen to fund a new mixed force of freedmen and [[shavepates]] to patrol the city streets under the control of Skahaz. The families of [[House of Zhak|Zhak]] and [[House of Merreq|Merreq]] are preparing to leave the city; the Queen orders that their wealth must remain behind, as well as some of their children in her custody.

That night, Dany offers Missandei the chance to return to [[Naath]], but the girl feels safer with her. Dreaming of [[Daario Naharis]], Dany hopes that the sellsword will remain loyal to her. Dany goes to take a bath on her terrace, when she is surprised by the voice of [[Quaithe]], speaking to her via some magic. "Hear me, Daenerys Targaryen. The [[glass candle]]s are burning. Soon comes the [[bloody flux|pale mare]], and after her the others. [[House Greyjoy|Kraken]] and dark flame, [[Tyrion Lannister|lion]] and griffin, the [[Quentyn Martell|sun's son]] and the mummer's dragon. Trust none of them. Remember the [[House of the Undying|Undying]]. Beware the [[perfumed seneschal]]." After telling her to remember who she is, Quaithe is gone. As the sun rises, Dany breaks her fast and prepares for court.

At court she gazes suspiciously at [[Reznak mo Reznak]] - could he be a traitor? [[Hizdahr zo Loraq]] pleads for the seventh time for the reopening of the fighting pits, this time cunningly presenting former fighters who themselves willingly ask to be returned to combat. She promises to consider all they have said and then ends the session.

[[Barristan Selmy]] relates how he escaped from [[King's Landing]] and [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]]'s guards, and defends [[Eddard Stark]] when Daenerys angrily denounces him as a traitor, asserting that Stark argued against having her killed in the [[small council]]. Dany asks to see her dragons: [[Rhaegal]] and [[Viserion]] have been chained up in a pit since the killing of the little girl [[Hazzea]], but [[Drogon]] could not be taken and was last seen flying off north to the [[Dothraki Sea]].

Three [[ranger]]s of the [[Night's Watch]] are tracking a group of [[wildling]] raiders [[beyond the Wall]], and encounter the [[Others]], who had not been seen for eight thousand years.

==Synopsis==
[[Gared]], [[Will]], and [[Knight|Ser]] [[Waymar Royce]], three [[ranger]]s from the [[Night's Watch]], are tracking a band of [[wildling]] raiders in the [[haunted forest]]. Will has reported on wildlings that he found, claiming they are all dead. Gared, an older man who has been in the Night's Watch for decades, is uneasy, and insists that they turn back to the [[Wall]]; they have eight or nine days of travel ahead of them, which can turn into a fortnight if it snows. Waymar, a noble born youth of eighteen, however, has the command, and after making light of Gared's fears asks Will again for the details of what he saw.

Will explains that he saw the wildlings' encampment. Their lean-to was covered by snow, they had no fire, and none of the wildlings moved the entire time he was watching. They were lying on the ground as if dead, but no blood was visible. Waymar suggests they might have been sleeping, but Will insists they are dead. There was also a woman up in a tree, but she did not move either. Gared suggests the wildlings must have been killed by the cold, but Waymar points out that the weather has not been cold enough to freeze men like that. He asks Will to lead them to the dead wildlings.

With night falling, the rangers ride back to the wildling camp. Both Will and Gared sense something is wrong, but Waymar mocks them again and commands Gared to stay behind to guard the [[horse]]s. When Gared suggests starting a fire, Waymar sardonically orders him not to. Will fears that Waymar's insolence will provoke Gared into drawing his sword, but Gared eventually acquiesces and no fire is lit.

Will and Waymar climb up the ridge, Waymar much noisier than Will. When Will reaches his previous vantage point, he sees that the bodies are gone. Waymar, walking upright, reaches the top of the ridge and stands in plain sight. Will warns Waymar to get down, but Waymar just laughs. Determined to find the wildlings and make his first ranging a success, Waymar orders Will to climb a tree and look for a fire.

Will reluctantly climbs a nearby [[sentinel]] tree. Below him, Waymar challenges an unseen foe. Will thinks he sees a white shadow moving below, but is not sure. He is about to call down a warning, but stops, unsure. Waymar calls to Will with unease in his voice as he turns in a circle with his sword drawn, and asks about the sudden cold, which Will also feels.

[[File:Royce vs other.jpg|thumb|left|350px|Waymar Royce faces off against an Other. (art by Jon Neimeister)]]

An [[Others|Other]] emerges from the woods: tall, gaunt, and white, dappled with a gray-green shimmer. Waymar nervously commands it to come no further and prepares himself for battle, challenging the Other to "dance" with him. Will notes that Waymar, in that moment, is no longer a boy, but truly a man of the Night's Watch. When more Others appear among the trees, Will considers calling out a warning, but decides not to do so, as it would require him to reveal his position. The sword of the first Other is made of inhumanly-sharp translucent crystal. Waymar is able to check the oncoming blows until his parry comes a bit too late and the Other's sword cuts through the mail under his arm. Waymar screams "For [[Robert I Baratheon|Robert]]!" and charges, but as his blade strikes the Other's sword, it shatters. One of the shards hits Waymar's left eye and he falls to his knees, blinded. All of the Others move in and slash at him mercilessly.

Will turns his head away for a long time before looking back to see that the Others are gone. When he finally dares, Will climbs down, examines Royce's body, then picks up the knight's twisted and broken sword. He decides to bring it back to show to their commanders, hoping Gared is still with the horses. When Will stands up again, Waymar [[Wights|has risen]] and is standing over him. His remaining eye has turned blue. With an icy cold touch, Waymar's hands go around Will's throat.

Three [[ranger]]s of the [[Night's Watch]] are tracking a group of [[wildling]] raiders [[beyond the Wall]], and encounter the [[Others]], who had not been seen for eight thousand years.

==Synopsis==
[[Gared]], [[Will]], and [[Knight|Ser]] [[Waymar Royce]], three [[ranger]]s from the [[Night's Watch]], are tracking a band of [[wildling]] raiders in the [[haunted forest]]. Will has reported on wildlings that he found, claiming they are all dead. Gared, an older man who has been in the Night's Watch for decades, is uneasy, and insists that they turn back to the [[Wall]]; they have eight or nine days of travel ahead of them, which can turn into a fortnight if it snows. Waymar, a noble born youth of eighteen, however, has the command, and after making light of Gared's fears asks Will again for the details of what he saw.

Will explains that he saw the wildlings' encampment. Their lean-to was covered by snow, they had no fire, and none of the wildlings moved the entire time he was watching. They were lying on the ground as if dead, but no blood was visible. Waymar suggests they might have been sleeping, but Will insists they are dead. There was also a woman up in a tree, but she did not move either. Gared suggests the wildlings must have been killed by the cold, but Waymar points out that the weather has not been cold enough to freeze men like that. He asks Will to lead them to the dead wildlings.

With night falling, the rangers ride back to the wildling camp. Both Will and Gared sense something is wrong, but Waymar mocks them again and commands Gared to stay behind to guard the [[horse]]s. When Gared suggests starting a fire, Waymar sardonically orders him not to. Will fears that Waymar's insolence will provoke Gared into drawing his sword, but Gared eventually acquiesces and no fire is lit.

Will and Waymar climb up the ridge, Waymar much noisier than Will. When Will reaches his previous vantage point, he sees that the bodies are gone. Waymar, walking upright, reaches the top of the ridge and stands in plain sight. Will warns Waymar to get down, but Waymar just laughs. Determined to find the wildlings and make his first ranging a success, Waymar orders Will to climb a tree and look for a fire.

Will reluctantly climbs a nearby [[sentinel]] tree. Below him, Waymar challenges an unseen foe. Will thinks he sees a white shadow moving below, but is not sure. He is about to call down a warning, but stops, unsure. Waymar calls to Will with unease in his voice as he turns in a circle with his sword drawn, and asks about the sudden cold, which Will also feels.

[[File:Royce vs other.jpg|thumb|left|350px|Waymar Royce faces off against an Other. (art by Jon Neimeister)]]

An [[Others|Other]] emerges from the woods: tall, gaunt, and white, dappled with a gray-green shimmer. Waymar nervously commands it to come no further and prepares himself for battle, challenging the Other to "dance" with him. Will notes that Waymar, in that moment, is no longer a boy, but truly a man of the Night's Watch. When more Others appear among the trees, Will considers calling out a warning, but decides not to do so, as it would require him to reveal his position. The sword of the first Other is made of inhumanly-sharp translucent crystal. Waymar is able to check the oncoming blows until his parry comes a bit too late and the Other's sword cuts through the mail under his arm. Waymar screams "For [[Robert I Baratheon|Robert]]!" and charges, but as his blade strikes the Other's sword, it shatters. One of the shards hits Waymar's left eye and he falls to his knees, blinded. All of the Others move in and slash at him mercilessly.

Will turns his head away for a long time before looking back to see that the Others are gone. When he finally dares, Will climbs down, examines Royce's body, then picks up the knight's twisted and broken sword. He decides to bring it back to show to their commanders, hoping Gared is still with the horses. When Will stands up again, Waymar [[Wights|has risen]] and is standing over him. His remaining eye has turned blue. With an icy cold touch, Waymar's hands go around Will's throat.

Lord [[Eddard Stark]] dispenses justice to a [[Night's Watch]] deserter. When they are on their way back to [[Winterfell]], and [[Jon Snow]] and [[Robb Stark]] find six orphaned [[direwolf]] pups.

==Synopsis==
It is the ninth year of summer<ref group="N">Seasons in [[Westeros]] are of varying length, with summer and winter usually lasting several years. However, this has been an exceptionally long summer.</ref> Seven-year-old [[Bran Stark]] is traveling with a party of twenty men, including his father Lord [[Eddard Stark]], to see the king's justice done. This is the first time that he is allowed to join. Bran's older brother [[Robb Stark|Robb]] thinks the man to be executed must be a [[wildling]] sworn to [[Mance Rayder]], the [[King-Beyond-the-Wall]], which makes Bran think of the tales Old [[Nan]] has told him about wildlings.

The [[Gared|offender]] turns out to be an old man dressed in the ragged blacks of the [[Night's Watch]] who has lost his ears and a finger to frostbite.<ref group="N">The [[Night's Watch]] [[ranger]] [[Gared]] from the [[A Game of Thrones-Prologue|Prologue]]</ref> Lord Eddard questions the man briefly. Then two guardsmen drag the man to the stump of a tree and [[Theon Greyjoy]], Eddard's ward, brings Eddard his [[Valyrian steel]] sword, [[Ice]]. Eddard pronounces the sentence (desertion of the Night's Watch is punished by death) and raises the blade. [[Jon Snow]], Bran's [[bastardy|bastard]] brother, reminds Bran not look away and so Bran watches as his father strikes off the man's head with a single stroke. The head lands near Theon, who laughs and kicks it away. Jon calls Theon an ass under his breath and compliments Bran on his poise during the execution.

On the way back to [[Winterfell]], Robb and Jon argue about whether or not the deserter died bravely before racing their horses to the bridge, leaving Bran and his pony behind. Eddard rides up and asks if Bran knows why he executed the man himself. Bran replies that the man was a wildling. Eddard corrects that the man was a deserter, then explains that the [[First Men]] – of whom the [[House Stark|Starks]] descendant – believed that the man who passes the sentence should perform the execution himself, lest he become too comfortable with ordering deaths; the Starks still hold to that principle.

[[File:Mark Evans direwolf pups.jpg|thumb|310px|left|[[Jon Snow]] and [[Robb Stark]] find the corpse of a direwolf.]]

Jon calls from up ahead for them to come see what he and Robb have found. They find Robb holding something in his arms next to the corpse of a wolf larger than Bran's pony. Jon correctly identifies the corpse as a [[direwolf]]. Theon comments that direwolves have not been seen south of [[the Wall]] for two hundred years. Bran then notices that Robb is cradling a small pup, and gives it a stroke after Robb reassures him. Then Jon gives him another pup.

When they inspect the mother's corpse, they find a large piece of shattered antler lodged in her throat. The soldiers in the company feel this to be a bad omen. Theon offers to kill the pups but Bran protests. Eddard initially states killing them would be best but changes his mind when Jon points out that there are five pups, one for each of Eddard's legitimate children; since the direwolf is the sigil of House Stark, they must be meant to have the wolves. Bran immediately realizes, along with everyone else, that the comparison only works because Jon is not claiming a pup for himself.

Robb and Bran both declare that they are willing to nurse their pups by hand themselves. Eddard stresses that the children must feed and raise the pups themselves, not pass them off to the servants, and must treat them well lest they become dangerous. Both Robb and Bran state they will not allow the pups to die. As they begin to ride away, Jon hears a noise and goes back to discover [[Ghost|a sixth pup]], an albino with red eyes, that had crawled away from its mother. Bran finds it curious that it is the only pup that has opened its eyes. Theon claims that the albino will die quicker than the others, but Jon disagrees, claiming it for himself.

Lady [[Catelyn Tully]] seeks out her husband, Lord [[Eddard Stark]], in the [[godswood]] of [[Winterfell]] to inform him of the news that his foster father, Lord [[Jon Arryn]], the [[Hand of the King]], is dead and that King [[Robert I Baratheon]], his family, and half his court are on their way to [[Winterfell]].

==Synopsis==

[[File:Ned & Ice.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Eddard Stark in the godswood]]

[[Catelyn Stark]] seeks out her husband [[Eddard Stark|Eddard]] in the [[godswood]] following his return to [[Winterfell]]. She knows her husband always goes there after executing a man. She finds the godswood very dark and unsettling compared to the sunny one she remembers from her childhood home in [[Riverrun]]. Unlike her own [[House Tully|family]], the Starks keep faith with the [[old gods]], rather than the [[Faith of the Seven]].

She finds Ned polishing his ancestral greatsword, [[Ice]], under the [[heart tree]] at the center of the grove. He asks after the children, and Catelyn tells him they are deciding on the names for their new wolves. Ned notes that the [[Gared|man]] he excecuted is the fourth deserter this year. He adds that the man was half mad, that something had put a fear into him so deep that he could not reach him. The [[Night's Watch]] is dwindling, down to less than a thousand men, not just from desertions, but from ranging casualties. One day Ned may have to call his banners to fight [[Mance Rayder]] himself. Catelyn warns him that there are darker things beyond [[the Wall]]. Ned replies that the [[Others]] have been dead for eight thousand years, and that [[Maester]] [[Luwin]] claims they never existed at all. Catelyn replies that nobody had seen [[direwolf|direwolves]] until today.

When Ned asks why Catelyn has come, she tells him that [[Jon Arryn]], his foster father and her brother-in-law, is dead. The news came in King [[Robert Baratheon|Robert]]'s own hand. When asked, Catelyn explains that Jon Arryn's widow--Catelynn's sister [[Lysa Arryn]]--and her [[Robert Arryn|son]] have returned to the [[Eyrie]] and says that she thinks her sister should not be alone and should have gone back to [[Riverrun]]. Ned urges Catelyn to take the children to keep her sister company, but then Catelyn informs him that [[Robert Baratheon]] has also written to say he is coming to [[Winterfell]]. This news gladdens Ned; it has been nine years since he last saw his old friend. However, Catelyn is worried about the omen of a [[House Stark|direwolf]] found dead in the snow with an [[House Baratheon|antler]] buried in its throat.

With Robert coming, Catelyn confirms with Ned that they should send word to his brother [[Benjen Stark|Benjen]] on [[the Wall]]. Then Catelyn informs Ned that Robert's wife [[Cersei Lannister]], their children, and her [[House Lannister|Lannister]] brothers are also coming. Ned does not like the Lannisters because they came to Robert’s cause only after [[Sack of King's Landing|victory]] was certain. Eddard is looking forward to seeing the children and then announces his worry about feeding them all.

The exiled Princess [[Daenerys Targaryen]] prepares to be presented to the [[Dothraki]] ''[[khal]]'', [[Drogo]], as her brother, King [[Viserys Targaryen]], hopes to gain a Dothraki [[military strength|army]] by making such a [[marriage]] alliance.

==Synopsis==
For the past half year, the exiled king [[Viserys Targaryen]] and his thirteen year old sister, Princess [[Daenerys Targaryen]], having been residing in the [[Illyrio's manse|manse]] of [[Illyrio Mopatis]], a [[Magister]] of the [[Free City]] of [[Pentos]]. Viserys wishes to win back [[Aerys II Targaryen|his father's]] [[Iron Throne|throne]] and is in need of an army, which he hopes to acquire by making a [[marriage]] alliance with a [[Dothraki]] ''[[khal]]'' who leads a large ''[[khalasar]]''.

Viserys presents Daenerys with a gift from Magister Illyrio, a fine silk dress. Daenerys has to look like the princess she is, so Khal [[Drogo]] will ask for her hand in marriage. Although Daenerys is doubtful of Illyrio's motives, Viserys insists that the Magister simply wants to earn his good graces. Afraid of angering her brother (which he calls "waking the [[dragon]]"), Daenerys keeps silent about her mistrust. Viserys warns Daenerys not to fail him, and twists one of her niples to emphasize his threat. According to Viserys, when history of his reign is written, it will be said that his reign began that night.

[[File:Aprilis420 targaryen.jpg|thumb|220px|left|Daenerys and Viserys Targaryen]]

Viserys departs, leaving Daenerys alone with her thoughts. She dreads the feast she has to attend that evening, and her mind wanders to [[Westeros]], the homeland she has never seen. She had been conceived shortly before her mother, Queen [[Rhaella Targaryen]], fled [[King's Landing]] with Viserys, and born nine months later on [[Dragonstone]]. Yet she knows the stories Viserys has told her, the flight from King's Landing to Dragonstone; Her eldest brother, [[Rhaegar Targaryen]] [[Battle of the Trident|fighting]] [[Robert I Baratheon|Robert Baratheon]] and dying; The [[Sack of King’s Landing]], the gruesome death of Prince [[Aegon Targaryen (son of Rhaegar)|Aegon Targaryen]], and the murder of her father, King [[Aerys II Targaryen]], in the throne room, committed by [[Jaime Lannister|a knight]] of his own [[Kingsguard]]. Nine months after the deaths of her brother and father, Daenerys's mother died giving birth to her (something for which Viserys has never forgiven her), during a summer storm which destroyed most of the [[House Targaryen|Targaryen]] fleet which had been Dragonstone's last defense. When the garrison of Dragonstone was wiling to give Viserys and Daenerys over to [[Stannis Baratheon]], who was [[Assault on Dragonstone|on his way to take Dragonstone]], Ser [[Willem Darry]] and four loyal men secretly took them to [[Braavos]]. There they lived in a big [[The house with the red door in Braavos|house with a red door]]. However, Ser Willem died, leaving them without a guardian, and the servants stole what money was left. When Viserys and Daenerys were put out of the house not long afte, they began to travel from city to city, never staying anywhere long, as Viserys feared the Usurper's assassins. Daenerys recalls how rich merchants, archons and magisters became less and less willing to host the Targaryens as the years went by, and how Viserys had been forced to sell their mother's crown. However, despite the lack of support, Viserys has become obsessed with recovering the Iron Throne. Daenerys knows that he is being called "the Beggar King" behind his back, and wonders if people have given her a nickname too.

Illyrio's servants come to bathe Daenerys and prepare her for the feast given at the manse of Khal [[Drogo]], where she is to meet and impress the Khal, so he will ask for her hand in [[marriage]]. The servants tell her how lucky she is to marry a man so rich that even his slaves wear golden collars. Once she is properly dressed, her brother returns with Magister Illyrio and commands her to stand up and turn around. Illyrio showers Daenerys with compliments while Viserys complains she is too skinny and too young. Illyrio reassures him that she is old enough for the ''khal'' and comments on her silver-gold hair and purple eyes, the hallmarks of old [[Valyria|Valyrian]] nobility. When Viserys states that barbarians are said to have queer tastes such as boys and sheep, Illyrio warns him not to say these things to Khal Drogo, creating a flare of anger in Viserys’ eyes.

The three of them journey in Illyrio's litter to Khal Drogo's manse in the pitch dark. Viserys states that ten thousand Dothraki “screamers” will be enough to overthrow [[Robert I Baratheon|the usurper]] when combined with those in [[Westeros]] that are awaiting his return. He speculates on those who would join their cause: [[House Tyrell]], [[House Redwyne]], [[House Darry]], [[House Greyjoy]], and the [[Dorne|Dornishmen]]. Illyrio assures Viserys that the people in the [[Seven Kingdoms]] secretly await his return, though Daenerys doubts him.

Illyrio says that Drogo’s mansion was a gift from the magisters of [[Pentos]], to help win Drogo's friendship. They arrive at the mansion and are announced as King Viserys III and Princess Daenerys. Illyrio points out several prominent guests, including Ser [[Jorah Mormont]], who had fled the Seven Kingdoms under sentence of death several years before, and has since spent much time among the Dothraki. Illyrio then points out Khal Drogo himself, who is as graceful as a panther, and younger than Daenerys had expected. Viserys notes his long braid, which means he has never been defeated in combat. Daenerys only notes his cold, hard face and is afraid of him. She asks to go home, provoking a rant from Viserys about how their [[King's Landing|home]] has been taken away from them. Daenerys only meant their rooms in Illyrio’s estate, but none of the places they have stayed in have been Viserys' home. Viserys also assures Daenerys that he would let Khal Drogo's whole ''[[khalasar]]'', including their horses, rape her if it would win him back the Seven Kingdoms. He then tells her to stop crying, because Illyrio is leading Khal Drogo over to meet them. Daenerys stops crying, stands up straight, and smiles.

[[Jon Snow]] attends the feast Winterfell is holding for the royal guests and speaks with both [[Benjen Stark]] and [[Tyrion Lannister]].

==Synopsis==

A feast is held in [[Winterfell]] in honor of King [[Robert Baratheon|Robert]]'s royal visit. Jon decides he is thankful his bastardy has relegated him to the far end of the hall with the younger squires instead of the king's family. Here he can drink as much as he wants (he has a man’s thirst) and mingle freely with those around him.

Jon watches the king and his family as they arrive. He recognizes Queen [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei]]'s false smile and is disappointed with fat, red-faced King Robert. The 8-year-old Princess [[Myrcella Baratheon|Myrcella]] seems smitten with her escort [[Robb Stark|Robb]], leading Jon to decide she is insipid. [[Arya Stark|Arya]] is escorted by plump, young Prince [[Tommen]]. The 12-year-old Crown Prince [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]] (who is even taller than Robb) is escorting the radiant [[Sansa Stark|Sansa]]. Jon decides he does not like Joffrey’s pouty lips or the disdain the prince seems to hold for Winterfell. He also notes that the queen's brother [[Jaime Lannister]] looks like a proper king, and that waddling dwarf [[Tyrion Lannister]] is grotesquely fascinating, as ugly as Jaime and Cersei are beautiful. The last to enter are [[Benjen Stark]] and [[Theon Greyjoy]].

[[File:Sardag jon snow.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Jon Snow, the Snow of Winterfell]]

Jon feeds his [[direwolf]] [[Ghost]] under the table and watches the pup silently face down a full-grown dog three times his size. Bringing his wolf to the feast is another perk to being the bastard. Jon is soon joined by his uncle Benjen, who asks Jon how much he's had to drink, adding that Jon is older than he was when he first got truly drunk. Benjen asks about Ghost and Jon explains that he named him Ghost for his white color and because he never makes a sound. Benjen then asks why Jon is not at the main table and Jon says flatly that Lady [[Catelyn Stark|Catelyn]] thought seating a bastard with the king might give offense.

Benjen comments that [[Eddard Stark|Eddard]] does not seem festive and Jon adds that neither does the queen, probably because of King Robert's visit to the crypts. Benjen commends Jon's keen observation and remarks that he could use a man like him on [[the Wall]]. Jon asks if he can return to the Wall with Benjen. Benjen replies that the Wall is a hard place for a boy, but Jon counters that he will turn 15 on his next name day and it's said bastards grow up faster than purebloods. Jon thinks about how all his half brothers and sisters have futures, but there is no future for a bastard. Benjen says that he should know a woman and father a bastard or two first, to know what he will be giving up. This angers Jon, who states that he will ''never'' father a bastard and runs off with Ghost at his heels before anyone can see him cry.

As Jon is leaving, Tyrion Lannister speaks to him from a ledge in the deserted yard and asks if he can take a look at Ghost. Jon offers to help him down, but Tyrion jumps down, acrobatically landing on his hands and vaulting to his feet. Ghost is uncertain about Tyrion, but submits to examination at Jon's command. Tyrion asks if Jon is Eddard's bastard. Jon bridles and Tyrion apologizes that as a dwarf he can usually speak as he pleases, like a jester. He comments that Jon seems to have more of [[the North]] in him than his half-siblings. Tyrion advises Jon never to forget who and what he is so that no one can use it against him. When Jon questions what Tyrion would know about being a bastard, Tyrion replies that all dwarfs are bastards in their father’s eyes and that, although all dwarfs are bastards, not all bastards need to be dwarfs.

A secret letter from [[Lysa Tully|her sister]] leads [[Catelyn Tully|Catelyn]] to convince [[Eddard Stark|Ned]] to go to [[King's Landing]] and become the [[Hand of the King]].

==Synopsis==
[[Eddard Stark|Ned]] and [[Catelyn Stark|Catelyn]] are in Catelyn's bedchamber after making love. Uncomfortable with the warmth of the room, which is heated by hot springs beneath the castle, Ned opens the windows. As she watches him from the bed, Catelyn thinks he looks the same as when she married him and hopes they have conceived another child.

The couple discuss King [[Robert Baratheon|Robert]]'s offer, which Ned intends to refuse. Catelyn insists that he must accept so as not to offend the king, which might put them all in danger. While Catelyn contemplates the omen of the [[House Stark|direwolf]] killed by a [[House Baratheon|stag]], Ned wishes his brother [[Brandon Stark|Brandon]] had lived to be Lord of Winterfell instead.

They are interrupted by a guardsman named [[Desmond]], who says that [[Maester]] [[Luwin]] has an urgent message. The maester is shown in and explains that a carved wooden box containing a fine new glass lens was left in his observatory while he was napping. The way it was delivered made the maester wonder and he discovered a message hidden beneath a false bottom. Maester Luwin says he has not read it, and will not give it to Ned because it is addressed to Catelyn.

Catelyn takes the message apprehensively. It is from her sister [[Lysa Arryn|Lysa]] and written in a secret language only the two sisters share. Catelyn immediately burns the message after reading it, but explains to Ned that the message claims [[Jon Arryn]] was murdered by Queen [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei]] and her [[House Lannister|family]]. Catelyn insists that now Ned ''must'' be the [[Hand of the King]], to find the truth behind Lysa's accusations. Maester Luwin agrees with Catelyn, pointing out that the Hand's authority will help determine the truth and protect Lysa and [[Robert Arryn|her son]]. Ned reminds them both that [[Rickard Stark|his father]] went south once at the summons of a king and never returned. Luwin replies that that was a different time and a different king. Catelyn insist that if Ned truly loves King Robert like a brother, he will not leave him to face the Lannisters on his own.

Ned then makes his decision: he will go, but Catelyn must stay behind to govern Winterfell and teach his heir [[Robb Stark|Robb]] how to be a proper lord. He allows that young [[Rickon Stark|Rickon]] may stay with her as well, but the others must come south--[[Sansa Stark|Sansa]] to wed [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]], and [[Arya Stark|Arya]] to learn the ways of a southern court. Catelyn reluctantly agrees, but begs that seven-year-old [[Bran Stark|Bran]] be allowed to stay. Ned insists that Bran must bridge the gap between Robb and Joffrey. The house will be the safer for it, and Catelyn has to agree. Catelyn feels lonely already.

Maester Luwin asks about [[Jon Snow]] and Catelyn's anger flashes. She remembers the bastard child that Ned brought back with him in the early days of their marriage. She understood Ned fathering a bastard son, but could not understand raising a bastard in the castle. There were rumors that [[Ashara Dayne]] was the boy's mother, but Ned forbade Catelyn to ask about it, insisting that all she needed to know was that Jon was his blood. Ned would never send Jon away though, and Catelyn could never forgive him that. Catelyn insists that Jon must leave Winterfell, but Ned argues that there will be no place for Jon at court. Maester Luwin mentions Jon's ambitions to join the [[Night's Watch]]. Ned considers this for a while and finally agrees to let Jon take the black, though not until they are ready to leave for the south; he wants Jon to enjoy his last few days. Ned decides that when it is time, he will tell Jon himself.

[[Arya Stark|Arya]] runs out on her needlework session to watch the boys practice with swords in the yard.

==Synopsis==
[[Arya Stark|Arya]] is dismayed at her crooked stitches; she can't match her sister [[Sansa Stark|Sansa]]'s needlework. Their governess, [[Septa]] [[Mordane]], coos over Princess [[Myrcella Baratheon|Myrcella]]'s needlework, which Arya thinks is also crooked. Sansa is whispering with [[Jeyne Poole]] and [[Beth Cassel]]. When Arya asks what they are whispering about she is told it is about how handsome Prince Joffrey is, and that he has complimented Sansa and is going to marry her. Arya points out that [[Jon Snow]] thinks Joffrey looks like a girl. Sansa laments that Jon gets jealous because he is a [[bastard]] but Arya defends him, drawing the septa's attention to her.

Septa Mordane inspects Arya's stitches and pronounces her dissatisfaction. Humiliated, Arya bolts for the door, stopping only long enough to be forced to bow to Princess Myrcella. Arya wishes she had some of her sister's skill and beauty. She has her father’s looks, not the beauty of their mother like Sansa. Jeyne used to call her "Horseface", which was all the more hurtful because the only thing that Arya could do better than Sansa was ride. That and manage a household since Sansa has no head for figures.

Arya finds her direwolf pup [[Nymeria]] waiting for her and together they go to watch the boys sparring in the practice yard, not daring to go back to her room where she would be found and punished. On the covered bridge overlooking the yard, Arya comes across Jon Snow seated on a sill with [[Ghost]], watching the fighting below. She sits down beside him and they watch together.

In the yard below, heavily-padded [[Bran Stark|Bran]] and Prince [[Tommen Baratheon|Tommen]] are fighting each other with wooden swords under the watchful eye of Ser [[Rodrik Cassel]], the master-at-arms. The group of spectators includes [[Robb Stark|Robb]] and [[Theon Greyjoy|Theon]]. Jon comments that swords are a bit more exhausting than needlework, but Arya responds that they are also more fun. Arya remembers thinking when she was little that she was a bastard like Jon because they were the only children to take after their father. When Arya asks why Jon is not down in the yard with the others, Jon explains that bastards are not allowed to damage princes, only trueborn swords can do that. Arya says she could fight as well as Bran who is only seven while she is nine, but Jon says she doesn't have enough strength for a longsword.

[[File:John Matson Joff.jpg|thumb|240px|left|Prince Joffrey gives his mother's sigil equal place.]]

Jon points out that the newly-arrived Prince [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffery]] is wearing a sigil that has both the stag and lion on it, giving his [[Cersei Lannister|mother]]’s [[House Lannister|Lannister]] sigil equality to the royal [[House Baratheon|Baratheon]] sigil. Jon suggests that Arya should wear a combination sigil for the [[House Stark|Stark]]s and [[House Tully|Tully]]s, but Arya jokes that a wolf with a trout in its mouth would look silly. She questions why a girl would need a sigil if she isn't allowed to fight. Jon shrugs that girls get the sigils but not the swords, while bastards get the swords but not the sigils.

Below, Bran has knocked Tommen down and Ser Rodrik calls Robb and Joffrey for a bout. Joffrey acts as if it is beneath his dignity to fight Starks with practice swords. He suggests real swords and Robb readily accepts. Jon comments to Arya that Joffrey truly is a "little shit". Ser Rodrik states that he will only allow blunted tourney swords. Joffrey's scarred bodyguard [[Sandor Clegane]] remarks that he killed a man with a real sword when he was only twelve. Joffrey makes a few more condescending remarks that enrage Robb, then feigns a yawn and leaves with Tommen. Jon encourages Arya to go to her room and face her punishment. Arya insists it is not fair, but Jon says that nothing is fair as he walks away with Ghost. Arya returns to her room to find not only Septa Mordane, but also her mother.

[[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion]] meets up with his nephew [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]] and insists he pay his sympathies to the Starks, before joining his [[Jaime Lannister|brother]] and [[Cersei Lannister|sister]] for breakfast with news that [[Bran Stark]] will probably survive.

==Synopsis==
[[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion]] has been reading all night in Winterfell's library when he hears a wolf howl. He gives up on reading, noticing that it's near dawn and that Septon [[Chayle]] is asleep. Tyrion wakes him and goes out to break his fast. As he leaves, Tyrion hears [[Sandor Clegane]] complaining about how long [[Bran Stark]] is taking to die. [[Joffrey Baratheon|Prince Joffrey]] states that at least Bran is dying quietly, but the wolf's howling is disturbing his sleep. The Hound offers to go kill it, which Joffrey finds amusing, believing the [[House Stark|Stark]]s would not notice it missing. Tyrion notes that the Starks can count past six, unlike some princes.

The Hound uses the remark as an excuse to make fun of Tyrion's height. Tyrion brushes the comment off before advising Joffrey to pay a visit to the Starks to offer his sympathies. When Joffrey asks what good it would do, Tyrion tells him that his absence has been noticed. Joffrey continues to refuse, but Tyrion proceeds to browbeat him to the edge of tears until the boy acquiesces. The Hound, looming over Tyrion, warns him that the prince will remember how his uncle slapped him. Tyrion responds that he hopes he does and that the Hound should be a good dog and remind Joffrey if he forgets it.

Tyrion then seeks out his [[Jaime Lannister|brother]] and [[Cersei Lannister|sister]], who are having breakfast in the morning room of the guest house. He asks if [[Robert Baratheon|King Robert]] is still in bed and Cersei disdainfully explains that Robert has been up all night with Lord [[Eddard Stark|Eddard]] and has taken the Starks' sorrow deeply to heart. When Jaime adds that Robert has a big heart, Tyrion remembers that during his childhood Jaime was the only person who ever showed him any affection or respect. In return, Tyrion is willing to forgive Jaime almost anything.

As Tyrion orders breakfast, [[Tommen Baratheon|Prince Tommen]] asks after Bran and says he doesn't want him to die. Jaime comments on the name "Brandon" being [[Brandon Stark|unlucky]], but Tyrion states this may not be the case, explaining that [[Maester Luwin]] thinks that Bran may recover. As he speaks, Tyrion catches the significant glance between Jaime and Cersei. Cersei immediately insists it is no mercy for Bran to live. When [[Myrcella Baratheon|Myrcella]] asks if Bran will be alright, Tyrion replies that Bran will never walk again. Tyrion goes on to say that the [[Summer|wolf]] howling outside his window may be contributing to Bran's survival: when the window is closed Bran gets weaker, but his heart strengthens again when it is open. Cersei responds that the wolves disturb her and are dangerous, but Jaime tells her the girls' wolves will doubtless follow them to [[King's Landing]].

Tyrion then reveals to his family that he intends to visit [[the Wall]] before returning south. Jaime jokes that he hopes Tyrion is not planning to [[Night's Watch|take the black]], but Tyrion quips back that if he did the whores would go begging. Cersei leaves abruptly with her children, insisting they shouldn't hear such filth, while Jaime wonders if Eddard will leave [[Winterfell]] with Bran so ill. Tyrion insists that King Robert will make the choice for Eddard.

Jaime declares that if he were Eddard, he would end Bran's torment and save him from being a cripple. Tyrion, himself less than able-bodied, advises Jaime not to say as much to Eddard before wondering out loud what tale Bran might tell if he wakes up. Jaime is not amused and wonders aloud about Tyrion's loyalty. Tyrion replies that Jaime knows how much he loves his family.

[[Jon Snow|Jon]] says his last goodbyes, first to the comatose [[Bran Stark|Bran]], then to [[Robb Stark|Robb]], and finally to [[Arya Stark|Arya]], to whom he gives a [[Braavos|Braavosi]]-type [[Needle|sword]].

==Synopsis==
[[Jon Snow|Jon]] climbs the stairs to [[Bran Stark|Bran]]'s room with [[Ghost]] beside him, fearing that it might be the last time. [[Catelyn Tully|Catelyn]] is there, having never left Bran's side for close to a fortnight, which has kept Jon away, but now there is no more time. When Jon enters, Catelyn responds with hostility, asking why he is here and demanding he leave. While once this would have sent him crying, now it only makes Jon angry so that when Catelyn threatens to call the guards, he calls her bluff.

Jon finds Bran emaciated and shrunken, and the covers over his legs look wrong. Jon asks Bran not to die and tells him everyone is waiting for him to wake up. Jon remembers how much Bran was looking forward to the journey south while explaining that he is going north to [[the Wall]] with Uncle [[Benjen Stark|Benjen]]. Catelyn admits that she was wishing for Bran to stay home with her, and her wish seems to have been granted. When Jon attempts to reassure her, she lashes out at him and, as he is leaving, tells him that it should have been him that fell.

Jon makes the long walk to the yard, where things are in an uproar as the party prepares to leave. [[Robb Stark|Robb]] brings news that Benjen is looking for Jon. When Robb asks about his mother, Jon tells him she was kind. Robb then remarks that next time they meet, Jon will be all in black, and they hug farewell.

Next, Jon goes to see [[Arya Stark|Arya]], who is repacking her things with help from [[Nymeria]], not having folded them well enough for [[Septa]] [[Mordane]] the first time. Jon says he has a secret present for her. After Arya closes the door and sets Nymeria to guard it, Jon gives her a small sword made specially for her, one like the swords from [[Braavos]]. He explains to her that she will have to practise every day, shows her how to hold it, and then gives her her first lesson: stick them with the pointy end. He then warns her not to tell [[Sansa Stark|Sansa]]. Arya runs to him for a last hug. Just before he leaves, Jon tells Arya that all the best swords have a name. When she asks what her sword's name is he explains that it’s her very favorite thing. Then say the name together: "[[Needle]]".
