'''Chestnut''' was a [[horse]], a stot owned by Ser [[Arlan of Pennytree]], and later Ser [[Duncan the Tall]].{{Ref|THK}}

==Appearance and Character==
Chestnut was old, and swaybacked.{{Ref|THK}} The stot was too old to be worth much,{{Ref|THK}} but was patient, and never bucked or bit.{{Ref|TSS}} The horse's gait was less easy than the palfrey [[Sweetfoot]].{{Ref|THK}}

==History==
When [[Dunk]] became Ser Arlan's [[squire]], he would ride the [[hedge knight]]'s stot Chestnut,{{Ref|TSS}} while Arlan rode his palfrey Sweetfoot. (Arlan's destrier, [[Thunder]], was not ridden except in [[tourney]]s and battle.) Arlan frequently told Dunk that a [[knight]] should never love a horse, since they might die under him, but he loved his horses anyway. Arlan often spent his last [[currency|copper]] on an apple for Chestnut, or oats for Sweetfoot and Thunder.{{Ref|THK}}

In {{Date|209}}, the aged Arlan died from a chill on the way to [[Ashford Meadow]], and Dunk took ownership of Chestnut, along with Thunder and Sweetfoot. At first Dunk debated selling Thunder and Chestnut, and keeping Sweetfoot, but then he decided to attend the [[tourney at Ashford Meadow]] as the knight Ser Duncan the Tall. To afford a suit of [[armor]], Dunk reluctantly decided to sell Sweetfoot, as Chestnut was not worth much, and Thunder would be needed for the [[joust]].{{Ref|THK}}

Dunk rode Sweetfoot to [[Ashford]], finding her gait easier than Chestnut's, but still tiring. On the way, he stopped at an inn, where Dunk first met Prince [[Aegon V Targaryen|Aegon Targaryen]], disguised as "Egg", when he asked the (assumed) [[stableboy]] to rub down Sweetfoot and feed his horses. On the tourney grounds, Dunk was arrested when he attacked Prince [[Aerion Targaryen]], who was assaulting [[Tanselle|a girl]] that Dunk had met earlier. While Dunk was imprisoned, Egg and their friend [[Raymun Fossoway]] took care of Chestnut and Thunder.{{Ref|THK}}

After Prince [[Maekar Targaryen]] allowed his son Aegon to officially become Dunk's [[squire]], Egg rode Chestnut when they traveled, while Duncan rode Thunder.{{Ref|THK}}

Chestnut died in [[Dorne]], during the desert crossing between the [[Prince's Pass]] and [[Vaith]]. Dunk wanted to bury his old friend, but their Dornish companions would not wait, and so Chestnut's corpse was left to the [[dog|sand dogs]]. Afterwards, Dunk and Egg rode double on Thunder, until Egg's brother gave them [[Maester (mule)|Maester]] the [[mule]].{{Ref|TSS}}

Later, at [[Standfast]], Dunk dreamed of burying Chestnut in the sands while crying, as the Dornish [[knight]]s and others stood by and mocked him.{{Ref|TSS}}

==Quotes==
{{Quote|'''Egg''': [[Maekar Targaryen|My lord father]] says I am to serve you. 
'''Dunk''': Serve you, ''ser''. You can start by saddling the horses. Chestnut is yours, treat her kindly. I don't want to find you on [[Thunder]] unless I put you there.{{Ref|THK}}|[[Aegon V Targaryen|Aegon Targaryen]] and [[Duncan the Tall]]}}

{{Quote|Chestnut, his name was Chestnut, and he bore me on his back for years, and never bucked or bit. The old [[horse|stot]] had looked a sorry thing beside the sleek [[sand steed]]s that the [[Dornishmen]] were riding, with their elegant heads, long necks, and flowing manes, but he had given all he had to give.{{Ref|TSS}}|dreaming of [[Duncan the Tall]]}}

{{Quote|Weeping for a swaybacked stot? Why, lad, you never wept for me, who put you on his back.{{Ref|TSS}}|"[[Arlan of Pennytree]]" in [[Duncan the Tall|Duncan]]'s dream}}

'''House Hollard''' is a nearly extinct noble house of the [[crownlands]] once sworn to [[House Darklyn]] of [[Duskendale]]. Following the [[Defiance of Duskendale]], almost the entire family was executed by command of King [[Aerys II Targaryen]]. [[Hollard castle|Their castle]] lies in ruin.{{Ref|AFFC|9}}

The Hollards blazon their arms with barry red and pink, three [[gold]]en [[crown]]s on a blue chief.{{Ref|AFFC|9}}<ref>The Citadel. Heraldry: [http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/Heraldry/Houses/1/#In the area of King's Landing]</ref><ref group="N" name="ChiefColour">When first described in [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 61|Chapter 61]] of ''[[A Storm of Swords]]'', the blazon has a black chief. Later references, including the Westeros Heraldry section and [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 9|Chapter 9]] of ''[[A Feast for Crows]]'', have it as a blue chief.</ref>

==History==
===Age of Heroes===
During the [[Age of Heroes]], the Hollards were the bannermen and closest allies of [[House Darklyn]]. In these ancient times House Hollard had three daughters wedded to Darklyn kings.{{Ref|AFFC|9}}

===The Defiance of Duskendale===
During the [[Defiance of Duskendale]], Lord [[Denys Darklyn]] took captive King [[Aerys II Targaryen]], and Ser [[Symon Hollard]] slew Ser [[Gwayne Gaunt]] of the [[Kingsguard]]. The [[Hand of the King]], Lord [[Tywin Lannister]], assembled an army that could easily storm the town, but Lord Denys menaced that he would kill the king as soon as the attack started. Aerys was held prisoner in the [[Dun Fort]] for half a year with Tywin's army waiting outside Duskendale. The situation remained invariable until Ser [[Barristan Selmy]] of the Kingsguard entered the Dun Fort, slew Symon, and rescued the king. Having lost his hostage, Lord Denys had no other option then to surrender at once. He bent the knee and begged for mercy, but the king demanded his head and all his family's.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II}}

House Hollard, which had served House Darklyn during the defiance and had a close relationship with their lords, were attainted and had their lands taken, [[Hollard castle|the castle]] torn down, and its members also executed. Only young [[Dontos Hollard]], Symon's nephew, was spared because Barristan asked for mercy.{{Ref|AFFC|9}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II}}

==Recent Events==
===''A Game of Thrones''===
Ser [[Dontos Hollard]] stays at court in [[King's Landing]] when King [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey I Baratheon]] inherits the [[Iron Throne]].{{Ref|AGOT|57}}

===''A Clash of Kings''===
Intending to ride in the [[tourney on King Joffrey's name day]], Dontos the Red's first match is against [[Lothor Brune]]. However, Dontos is too drunk, arriving in the lists unarmored and hardly clothed. Joffrey takes this as a personal insult and commands that Dontos be put to death via drowning in a cask of wine. However, the pleading of [[Sansa Stark]] saves his life and Dontos is stripped of his knighthood and made a [[fool]] in motley instead.{{Ref|ACOK|2}}

Dontos leaves Sansa a note and promises to help her escape. Drawing inspiration from the tales of [[Florian the Fool|Florian]] and [[Jonquil]], he pleads to serve her and asks for patience since they can only escape at the right time.{{Ref|ACOK|18}} Dontos tells Sansa that she will be freed the night of [[Purple wedding|Joffrey's wedding]] and gives her a [[silver hair net]] laced with [[amethyst]]s.{{Ref|ACOK|65}}

===''A Storm of Swords''===
After several meetings in the godswood of the [[Red Keep]], Sansa tells Dontos of the plot to marry her to [[Willas Tyrell]].{{ref|ASOS|16}} Dontos attends the marriage of Sansa to [[Tyrion Lannister]], where he is used as a footstool by Tyrion when he goes to place his cloak around the shoulders of Sansa.{{Ref|ASOS|28}}

After the [[Purple Wedding|death of King Joffrey]] - poisoned with the [[Strangler]] contained in one of the amethysts of Sansa's hair net - at his wedding to [[Margaery Tyrell]], Dontos takes Sansa away during the confusion.{{Ref|ASOS|61}}

Ser Dontos escapes the Red Keep with Sansa and delivers her to Lord [[Petyr Baelish]], who had been waiting for them the ''[[Merling King]]'' in [[Blackwater Bay]]. Once Sansa has been rowed out and delivered onto the ship, Dontos asks for his payment of ten thousand [[currency|golden dragons]], as promised by Petyr. Instead, Petyr orders Dontos killed, and he is shot with crossbows. When it is done, Ser [[Lothor Brune]] tosses a torch on top of the corpse, burying the secret with the drunkard and finally ending the Hollard line.{{Ref|ASOS|61}}

===''A Feast for Crows''===
The story of the [[Defiance of Duskendale]] is recounted to [[Brienne of Tarth]] when she travels to [[Duskendale]] in search of [[Sansa Stark]] and Dontos Hollard. Later, about an hour's travel north of Duskendale, Brienne sees the ruins of a [[Hollard castle]], and thinks Dontos may have been born there.{{Ref|AFFC|9}}

==House Hollard at the end of the third century==
*Ser {[[Dontos Hollard]]}, known as "Dontos the Red", sole survivor after the [[Defiance of Duskendale]]. Slain by order of [[Petyr Baelish]].{{Ref|ASOS|61}}

==Historical members==
* Three Hollards women who became queen consort to [[House Darklyn|Darklyn]] kings.{{Ref|AFFC|9}}
*Ser [[Jon Hollard]], who was the steward of [[House Darklyn]]. He was married to the sister of Lord [[Denys Darklyn]].{{Ref|AFFC|9}}
*Ser [[Symon Hollard]], who was the former master-at-arms at the [[Dun Fort]] in Duskendale. He and Ser Steffon were Jon Hollard's brothers.{{Ref|AFFC|9}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II}}<ref group="N" name="Brother">It is said that both Jon and Symon Hollard were [[Denys Darklyn]]'s good-brothers. Since Lord Darklyn had only one sister, that means they were also brothers to each other, together with Steffon Hollard.</ref>
*Ser [[Steffon Hollard]] was the twin brother of Symon Hollard and the father of Ser Dontos Hollard.{{Ref|AFFC|9}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II}}
*[[Robin Hollard]], who was a squire during the Defiance of Duskendale. He may have been Jon Hollard's unnamed son.{{Ref|AFFC|9}}

Merryweather/Theories

2026-09-14T08:42:06Z

Somnium Draconis: /* Allied with Doran Martell */

{{Theory_Policy}}
There are several theories various theories regarding the true allegiances of [[Orton Merryweather]] and [[Taena of Myr]]. Some readers speculate that they might be in league with Lord [[Varys]] and his plan to seat [[Aegon Targaryen (Young Griff)|Aegon Targaryen]] on the Iron Throne, while others suppose that they are the mysterious [[Dorne|Dornish]] "friends at court" mentioned by Lord [[Doran Martell]].

==Allied with Varys==
The following pieces of information can be seen as evidence:
* The Merryweathers have always historically been noted Targaryen loyalists.{{Ref|FAB|The Sons of the Dragon}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II}}
* Both [[Owen Merryweather]] and [[Jon Connington]] served as [[Hand of the King]] to [[Aerys II Targaryen]] during [[Robert's Rebellion]], and were then exiled to Essos by Aerys.{{Ref|ASOS|11}} If Varys recruited Jon,{{Ref|AWOIAF|Jon Connington}} then it seems reasonable he may have recruited the Merryweathers too.
* The [[Golden Company]] states that they have "friends in the [[Reach]]", which could include the Merryweathers.{{ref|ADWD|24}}
* King [[Robert I Baratheon]] restored the Merryweather's titles and lands, but also emptied their treasury,{{Ref|AWOIAF|Longtable}} so the family's wealth and status have not completely recovered, with Orton not being as rich and powerful as his grandfather,{{Ref|SSM|1203}} which seems like a strong motivation for them wanting to support a regime change in the hope of restoring their house to its full former glory.
* Taena tells [[Cersei Lannister]] that [[Olenna Tyrell]] keeps a large chest of [[House Gardener]] [[gold]] [[currency|coins]] from before [[Aegon's Conquest]], which perfectly lines up with the coin found in [[Rugen]]'s chambers,{{Ref|AFFC|16}} which had been planted there by Varys as a ploy to cause tensions between the Lannisters and Tyrells.{{ref|ADWD|Epilogue}}
* Orton convinced Cersei to name Ser [[Bonifer Hasty]], a known Targaryen loyalist, as [[castellan]] of [[Harrenhal]],{{ref|AFFC|27}} which could easily be a mechanism for Aegon to take Harrenhal or bring in some of the Riverlords for Aegon.

* [[House Martell]] is known to have ties to the nobility of the [[Free Cities]], such as [[Braavos]],{{Ref|ADWD|43}} [[Norvos]],{{Ref|AFFC|40}} [[Tyrosh]]{{Ref|AFFC|40}} and [[Volantis]].{{Ref|AFFC|2}} Doran and [[Oberyn Martell]] may well have recruited the Merryweathers into their conspiracy for a Targaryen restoration thanks to shared connections in [[Myr]].
* According to Queen [[Cersei Lannister]], Taena is like a "serpent".{{Ref|AFFC|16}} Snakes are common in Dorne,{{ref|TWOIAF|Dorne: The Andals Arrive}} and [[Dornishmen]] are compared to those creatures by other [[Westeros|Westerosi]],{{ref|AFFC|1}}{{Ref|ADWD|54}}{{Ref|FAB|The Long Reign - Jaehaerys and Alysanne: Policy, Progeny, and Pain}} including Oberyn Martell and his daughters, who are dubbed the "Red Viper" and the "[[Sand Snakes]]".{{ref|AFFC|Appendix}} Even Taena's name resembles that of [[Tyene Sand]].

Kingdom of the Ifequevron

2026-09-14T08:38:46Z

Somnium Draconis:

{{Location map|Essos|long=140|lat=40|label=Kingdom of the Ifequevron| caption = [[Essos]] west of the [[Bone Mountains]] and the location of the Kingdom of the Ifequevron}}
The '''Kingdom of the Ifequevron'''{{ref|TWOIAF| Beyond the Free Cities: Ib}}{{ref|AWOIAF| Kingdom of the Ifequevron}} is a forested region of northern [[Essos]] along the [[Shivering Sea]]. [[Omber]] and the [[Bay of Tusks]] are to the west, while the [[Kingdom of Sarnor]] is to the southwest. East of the forest are the [[Realm of Jhogwin]] and the [[Krazaaj Zasqa]]. The [[Dothraki sea]] and [[Vaes Dothrak]] are to the south; a river from the [[Womb of the World]] by Vaes Dothrak runs through the kingdom to the Shivering Sea. East of the forest are the [[Ibben]]ese city [[New Ibbish]] and the ruins of [[Vaes Aresak]] (Ibbish).{{ref|TLOIAF| Central Essos}}

==History==
[[Ifequevron]], meaning "wood walkers", is the [[Dothraki language]] name for a people who once lived in the forest. Located on a small western peninsula, [[Vaes Leisi]] is a ruined settlement of carved trees and haunted grottoes.{{ref|AWOIAF| Vaes Leisi}}

The Dothraki are reported to have shunned the Kingdom of the Ifequevron out of reverence for the wood walkers or fear of their powers.{{ref|TWOIAF| Beyond the Free Cities: Ib}}

[[Corlys Velaryon]], after his return from the [[Thousand Islands]], wrote of carved trees, haunted grottoes, and strange silences at the Kingdom of the Ifequevron.{{ref|TWOIAF| Beyond the Free Cities: Ib}}

==Behind the Scenes==
In ''[[The Lands of Ice and Fire]]'' Ifequevron is misspelled as '''Ifeqevron'''.

In the [[World Map (HBO Game Of Thrones)|World Map]] published by HBO for the television series ''[[Game of Thrones]]'', prior to the release of ''The Lands of Ice and Fire'', the Kingdom of the Ifequevron was marked as "The Footprint."

Somnium Draconis:

{{Theory_Policy}}
There are several theories various theories regarding the true allegiances of [[Orton Merryweather]] and [[Taena of Myr]]. Some readers speculate that they might be in league with Lord [[Varys]] and his plan to seat [[Aegon Targaryen (Young Griff)|Aegon Targaryen]] on the Iron Throne, while others suppose that they are the mysterious [[Dorne|Dornish]] "friends at court" mentioned by Lord [[Doran Martell]].

==Allied with Varys==
The following pieces of information can be seen as evidence:
* The Merryweathers have always historically been noted Targaryen loyalists.{{Ref|FAB|The Sons of the Dragon}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II}}
* Both [[Owen Merryweather]] and [[Jon Connington]] served as [[Hand of the King]] to [[Aerys II Targaryen]] during [[Robert's Rebellion]], and were then exiled to Essos by Aerys.{{Ref|ASOS|11}} If Varys recruited Jon,{{Ref|AWOIAF|Jon Connington}} then it seems reasonable he may have recruited the Merryweathers too.
* The [[Golden Company]] states that they have "friends in the [[Reach]]", which could include the Merryweathers.{{ref|ADWD|24}}
* King [[Robert I Baratheon]] restored the Merryweather's titles and lands, but also emptied their treasury,{{Ref|AWOIAF|Longtable}} so the family's wealth and status have not completely recovered, with Orton not being as rich and powerful as his grandfather,{{Ref|SSM|1203}} which seems like a strong motivation for them wanting to support a regime change in the hope of restoring their house to its full former glory.
* Taena tells [[Cersei Lannister]] that [[Olenna Tyrell]] keeps a large chest of [[House Gardener]] [[gold]] [[currency|coins]] from before [[Aegon's Conquest]], which perfectly lines up with the coin found in [[Rugen]]'s chambers,{{Ref|AFFC|16}} which had been planted there by Varys as a ploy to cause tensions between the Lannisters and Tyrells.{{ref|ADWD|Epilogue}}
* Orton convinced Cersei to name Ser [[Bonifer Hasty]], a known Targaryen loyalist, as [[castellan]] of [[Harrenhal]],{{ref|AFFC|27}} which could easily be a mechanism for Aegon to take Harrenhal or bring in some of the Riverlords for Aegon.

'''Tyrion Lannister''' is a member of [[House Lannister]] and is the third and youngest child of Lord [[Tywin Lannister]] and the late Lady [[Joanna Lannister]]. His older siblings are [[Cersei Lannister]], the queen of King [[Robert I Baratheon]], and Ser [[Jaime Lannister]], a [[knight]] of Robert's [[Kingsguard]].

Tyrion is a [[dwarf]]; because of this he is sometimes called '''the Imp''' and '''the Halfman'''. He is one of the major [[POV character]]s in the books.

In the television adaptation ''[[Game of Thrones]]'', Tyrion is portrayed by [[List of actors of Game of Thrones#Peter Dinklage, Tyrion Lannister|Peter Dinklage]].<ref>HBO.com: [https://www.hbo.com/game-of-thrones/cast-and-crew Game of Thrones Cast & Characters]</ref>

==Appearance and Character==
{{See also|:Category:Images of Tyrion Lannister|l1=Images of Tyrion Lannister}}
Tyrion is a [[dwarf]] with stunted legs,{{Ref|AGOT|5}} stubby fingers,{{Ref|ACOK|49}} and a jutting forehead.{{Ref|AGOT|5}} He has mismatched eyes of green and black,{{Ref|AGOT|5}} so rumors spread that he has an "evil eye".{{Ref|ASOS|38}} Tyrion's thin hair is fair and flaxen,{{Ref|AGOT|35}}{{Ref|ACOK|29}} so blond it can appear white.{{Ref|AGOT|5}} He has some strands of black hair,{{Ref|ADWD|47}} however, and if he grows a beard it is yellow, white, and black.{{Ref|ASOS|12}} Tyrion's unique stare has been said to make people uncomfortable, which he tries to use to his advantage.{{Ref|ASOS|38}}

Tyrion is intelligent, well educated, and a ferocious reader. He is sharp of wit and tongue. Even though he is no warrior, he has been trained at arms<ref>[[So Spake Martin]]: [https://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/984 Tyrion's Training] (May 09, 1999)</ref> and shows great bravery in battle.{{Ref|AGOT|31}}{{Ref|AGOT|62}}{{Ref|ACOK|59}} Moreover, he knows some tumbling tricks, despite walking with difficulty.{{Ref|AGOT|5}}{{Ref|ADWD|14}}{{Ref|ADWD|40}} Tyrion has stated that what he lacks in size and strength he makes up for in mental acuity.{{Ref|AGOT|13}}

Tyrion generally receives little respect and is often mocked. His deformity is the cause of many problems and persecution, although mitigated to some extent by his high social standing and his family's wealth and power. He craves for love and respect from his family, but does not have a good relationship with all his family members. His deformity and the fact that his mother [[Joanna Lannister|Joanna]] died at his birth are two of the reasons that his father [[Tywin Lannister|Tywin]] and sister [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei]] despise him.{{Ref|ASOS|4}}{{Ref|ADWD|14}} Tywin has never forgiven him for Joanna's death.{{Ref|ASOS|4}} Unbeknownst to Tyrion, Cersei also despises him largely because of [[Maggy the Frog#Prophecies|a prophecy]] made to her when she was a young girl. The prophecy claimed that a ''[[valonqar]]'' ([[High Valyrian]] for "little brother"){{Ref|AFFC|39}} would eventually end her life.{{Ref|AFFC|36}} Cersei has always identified Tyrion as her ''valonqar'' and has thus been determined to rid herself of him ever since.{{Ref|AFFC|39}} Tyrion's older brother [[Jaime Lannister|Jaime]] was the only one who ever treated Tyrion with love and affection and for this Tyrion believed he would forgive his brother for anything.{{Ref|aGoT|9}}

At a young age, Tyrion married [[Tysha]], a commoner, but eventually Jaime told him the girl was a [[Prostitution|whore]] he had paid to take Tyrion's virginity. Tyrion was crushed, and the memory of her has long haunted him.{{Ref|ACOK|29}} Believing that no girl could ever truly love him for who he was,{{Ref|ACOK|3}}{{Ref|ACOK|44}}{{Ref|ASOS|60}} he began to seek his pleasure with prostitutes.{{Ref|ACOK|8}} Tywin felt this brought more shame on their house,{{Ref|ASOS|4}} further deteriorating their relationship.

==History==
===Birth===
Tyrion was born in {{Date|273}} as the third-born child to Lord [[Tywin Lannister|Tywin]] and Lady [[Joanna Lannister]]. Joanna died giving birth to him, and as a result his father blames him for her death.{{Ref|ASOS|4}} Tales about Tyrion were spread immediately after his birth; At [[Oldtown]], it was said that Tyrion was a monster, with a tail, monstrous huge head, thick black hair, a beard, an evil eye, lion's claws, with teeth so long he was not able to close his mouth, and both male and female genitals.{{Ref|ASOS|38}} It was said that Tyrion's birth was an omen to famine, plague and war,{{Ref|ASOS|38}} and the smallfolk named him "Lord Tywin's Doom" and "Lord Tywin's Bane".{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II}} King [[Aerys II Targaryen]] stated that Tyrion was a punishment for Tywin's arrogance,{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II}} and the same was said by begging brothers in Oldtown, stating that Tywin had made himself greater than the king, which was only allowed by a god.{{Ref|ASOS|38}}

Shortly after Tyrion's birth, the [[Princess of Dorne (mother of Doran)|Princess of Dorne]] arrived with her consort and two younger children, [[Elia Martell|Elia]] and [[Oberyn Martell]]. Tyrion was kept out of sight during the visit of the [[House Martell|Martells]], though he could sometimes be heard howling. [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei]] and [[Jaime Lannister|Jaime]] showed Tyrion to Elia and Oberyn the day before the Martells left, with Cersei claiming the infant would die soon. Lord Tywin, having refused to betroth Princess Elia to his heir Jaime, offered Tyrion as a betrothed to Elia instead, which the Martells took as an insult.{{Ref|ASOS|19}}{{Ref|ASOS|38}}{{Ref|ASOS|70}}

===Childhood===
[[File:Tyrion middle.jpg|thumb|250px|Tyrion, by Amok ©]]
During most of Tyrion's childhood, his father Tywin served as [[Hand of the King]] to King [[Aerys II Targaryen]] in [[King's Landing]], and as a consequence was absent from home for longer periods of time.{{Ref|ADWD|14}} Tyrion and his brother Jaime sometimes played in the [[Hall of Heroes]] as boys.{{ref|ASOS|60}} Tyrion was often lonely as a child, however;{{Ref|ADWD|5}} Jaime left Casterly Rock to serve as a squire at [[Crakehall]] in {{Date|277}},{{#tag:ref|[[Jaime Lannister]] went to [[Crakehall]] to serve Lord [[Sumner Crakehall]] as a squire at the age of eleven. He served as Sumner's squire for four years{{Ref|ASOS|11}} and received his knighthood in {{Date|281}}. This places the start of his service at Crakehall in {{Date|277}}.|group=N}} while his sister Cersei left for the court of [[King's Landing]] in {{Date|278}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II}} At the age of six or seven, his uncle [[Gerion Lannister|Gerion]] taught him tumbling, which he happily did for half a year at Casterly Rock, until Tywin returned from King's Landing and forbade it.{{Ref|ADWD|14}}{{Ref|ADWD|40}}

As a child, Tyrion used to dream of owning a dragon.{{Ref|AGOT|13}} He once even asked his uncles for a dragon as a [[name day]] present, "little, like I am", whereupon he was informed that the [[last dragon]] had died a century before.{{Ref|ADWD|5}} He used to start fires in the bowels of [[Casterly Rock]], and stared at them for hours, pretending they were [[dragonflame]],{{Ref|AGOT|13}} while he himself was a lost [[House Targaryen|Targaryen]] princeling, or a [[dragonlord]] from [[Valyria]].{{Ref|ADWD|5}} Sometimes, he imagined that he saw his father or sister burning in the fires.{{Ref|ADWD|5}} As he grew older, Tyrion would seldom ever dream of dragons, though he would always remain fascinated by them.{{Ref|AGOT|13}} When Cersei married King [[Robert I Baratheon]] in {{Date|284}},<ref group="N">''See the calculation for [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Events#Cersei Lannister's wedding to Robert I Baratheon|Cersei Lannister's wedding to Robert I Baratheon]].''</ref> Tyrion came to [[King's Landing]] for the wedding, where he sought out the [[dragon skulls]] which had decorated the throne room during the Targaryen dynasty, but which had been taken down by Robert.{{Ref|AGOT|13}}

In {{Date|281}}, when Tyrion was eight years old, his father Tywin Lannister had been discussing a [[betrothal]] between Tyrion's brother Jaime and the youngest daughter of Lord [[Hoster Tully]], [[Lysa Tully|Lysa]]. However, Jaime was named to the [[Kingsguard]], making him unavailable for marriage. Tywin offered Tyrion as a replacement, only to be told by Lord Hoster that his daughter required a "whole man".{{Ref|ASOS|19}} Tywin later tried to offer Tyrion to Lords [[Yohn Royce]] and [[Leyton Hightower]], but they took it in a similar fashion as the Princess of Dorne had done years before. Around {{Date|286}} or {{Date|287}},<ref group="N">''See the calculation for ''[[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Events#Stannis Baratheons wedding to Selyse Florent|Stannis Baratheon's wedding to Selyse Florent]]''.</ref> Tywin even offered Tyrion as a husband to [[Delena Florent]], who had been deflowered by King [[Robert I Baratheon]], but Ser [[Colin Florent]] preferred to marry his daughter to Ser [[Hosman Norcross]] instead.{{Ref|ASOS|19}}

Knowing he would never be a [[knight]], as a child Tyrion thought he could become the [[High Septon]] instead, as the crystal crown added a foot to one's height. As such, he studied the holy books.{{Ref|ADWD|5}}

===Tysha===
At the age of thirteen, around {{Date|286}}, Tyrion fell in love, and that quickly replaced the thoughts of priesthood. He and his brother Jaime rescued a common girl, [[Tysha]], from some bandits near [[Casterly Rock]]. While Jaime went after the bandits, Tyrion took care of Tysha. To his amazement Tysha liked him, and they eventually made love. Tyrion became so enamored by her, that he bribed a drunken [[septon]] and married her in secret.{{Ref|AGOT|42}} They lived in a little cottage by the [[sunset sea]], and spent whole days in bed. They would kiss and make love, and Tysha would sing the [[Myr]]ish song "[[The Seasons of My Love]]" for him.{{Ref|ACOK|67}}

However, their marriage lasted only two weeks, until the septon sobered up and confessed to Lord Tywin. When Tyrion's father learned about the [[wedding]], he commanded Jaime to say that Tysha was a [[prostitute]] whom Jaime had hired to take Tyrion's virginity. Because the "whore" had presumed to marry a Lannister, Tywin had his [[House Lannister guards|guards]] rape Tysha for a silver coin each, and then made Tyrion rape her as well, paying a [[Currency|gold coin]], stating that a Lannister was worth more.{{Ref|AGOT|42}} Afterwards, Tywin had the [[Marriage#Legality, divorce, and annulment|marriage undone]], and the [[septon]]s said it was as if Tyrion and Tysha had never been wed.{{Ref|ACOK|44}}

===Recent History===
[[File:Aleksander Karcz my mind is my weapon.jpg|thumb|Tyrion, by Aleksander Karcz © Fantasy Flight Games]]
As a young boy, Tyrion had committed to learn all sixteen of the wonders described by [[Lomas Longstrider]] to memory, and occasionally recited them during feasts. For years, he dreamed that one day he could travel the world and see them himself. In {{Date|289}}, when he became a man at sixteen, he wanted to take a tour of the nine [[Free Cities]], as his uncles [[Gerion Lannister|Gerion]] and [[Tygett Lannister|Tygett]] had done. Tywin forbade him to go, claiming he was irresponsible because of his marriage to Tysha, and instead gave him charge of all the cisterns and drains at [[Casterly Rock]].{{Ref|ADWD|8}} When Tyrion was eighteen, in {{Date|291}},<ref group="N">''See the [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Gerion Lannister|Gerion Lannister]] calculation.''</ref> his uncle Gerion left on a journey for [[Valyria]] to recover the ancient [[Valyrian steel]] [[greatsword]] [[Brightroar]] which had once belonged to [[House Lannister]]. Lord Tywin forbade Tyrion to go on this journey as well.{{Ref|ADWD|8}}

For his twenty-third name day, Tyrion received a mare from his brother Jaime.{{Ref|AGOT|31}} He keeps a suit of plate armor crafted for his atypical body at Casterly Rock.{{Ref|AGOT|62}}

When the royal family leaves Winterfell, Tyrion rides north to see the [[Wall]] before returning south, with Lord [[Eddard Stark]] allowing him to borrow a few rare books from the library.{{ref|AGOT|13}} Tyrion joins the [[First Ranger]], [[Benjen Stark]], and new recruit Jon Snow for the journey and is accompanied by a guard, [[Jyck]], and a servant, [[Morrec]].{{Ref|AGOT|13}} Tyrion reads about a book about the history and properties of [[dragon]]s.{{ref|AGOT|13}}

While at the Wall, Tyrion sees firsthand the poor state of the [[Night's Watch]];{{Ref|AGOT|13}}{{Ref|AGOT|19}} it is dwindling in numbers, ranging parties are going missing more often than usual, and [[wildlings]] are fleeing south like never before. He is implored by [[Jeor Mormont]], [[Lord Commander of the Night's Watch]], to make King Robert and his father, Lord [[Tywin Lannister]], aware of the Watch's needs.{{Ref|AGOT|21}}

Tyrion befriends and advises Jon Snow during his time at [[Castle Black]].

On his way back south, Tyrion stops at Winterfell. Despite initially receiving a hostile welcome from [[Robb Stark]] and an attack from the Stark [[direwolf|direwolves]] at his arrival, Tyrion gives [[Maester]] [[Luwin]] plans for a special saddle that will allow Bran to ride a horse despite his disability. Tyrion declines an offer for a room at Winterfell, choosing to stay at an inn in the nearby [[winter town]].{{Ref|AGOT|24}}

On his way back to [[King's Landing]] Tyrion encounters [[Catelyn Stark]] at the [[inn at the crossroads]]. Unknown to Tyrion, Catelyn was told by the [[master of coin]], Lord [[Petyr Baelish]], that the [[Littlefinger's blade|Valyrian steel dagger]] used in Bran's [[catspaw|failed assassination attempt]] belonged to Tyrion. As a result, Catelyn, with the help of some of her father’s [[bannermen]] present at the inn, arrests Tyrion and takes him to the [[Eyrie]] to be tried.{{Ref|AGOT|28}}{{Ref|AGOT|31}} On their way, they are attacked by the [[Vale mountain clans|clansmen of the Vale]], and Tyrion finds himself fighting in his first battle.{{Ref|AGOT|31}} Jyck and Morrec are slain during the journey.{{ref|AGOT|31}}{{ref|AGOT|34}}

[[File:MKomarck TyrionSkyCells.jpg|thumb|350px|Tyrion in the [[sky cells]] at the [[Eyrie]], by Michael Komarck ©]]

Once they reach the Eyrie, [[Lysa Arryn]] accuses Tyrion of killing her husband, Lord [[Jon Arryn]]. Tyrion is tried for both Jon's murder and Bran's attempted murder, though he is innocent of both. To break him, Lysa locks him up in the [[sky cells]]. Tyrion thinks it possible that his siblings were responsible for the crimes he is accused of, but that Bran's assassination attempt seems too clumsily done to be Jaime's or Cersei's work. Tyrion eventually manages to bribe his gaoler, [[Mord]], into telling Lysa that he is ready to confess. When Lysa summons the complete court of the [[Vale of Arryn|Vale]] to hear his confession, he demands a [[trial by combat]].{{Ref|AGOT|38}} Tyrion's champion, the sellsword [[Bronn]], kills Lysa's champion, Ser [[Vardis Egen]], securing Tyrion's freedom.{{Ref|AGOT|40}}

Tyrion and Bronn leave the Eyrie on the dangerous [[high road]], and along the way they are surrounded by men of the mountain clans, led by [[Shagga]]. Tyrion uses his quick wits and words to win over the clansmen by promising them weapons, armor, and glory.{{Ref|AGOT|42}} More clansmen join Tyrion on his way to the [[riverlands]]. The group rides out of the mountains, eventually reaching the Lannister host led by his father, Tywin, who has invaded the riverlands following Tyrion's capture. Tywin hangs [[Masha Heddle]] because Tyrion had been captured at her inn.{{Ref|AGOT|56}}

Tywin places Tyrion and his clansmen in the front for the upcoming battle with the Stark forces and Tyrion is given a number of new servants including a new [[squire]], [[Podrick Payne]]. That night, he sends Bronn looking for a female companion for him, and Bronn brings back a young [[camp follower]] named [[Shae]], whom Tyrion takes an immediate liking to and takes into his service. The next day, he fights in the [[battle on the Green Fork]] against Stark forces commanded by Lord [[Roose Bolton]].{{Ref|AGOT|62}} The battle is won, though afterward the Lannisters learn it was only a diversion. While Tywin had been marching north, Jaime was captured in the [[Battle in the Whispering Wood|Whispering Wood]] and his host was then defeated at [[Riverrun]] in the [[Battle of the Camps]].{{Ref|AGOT|69}}

At the crossroads inn, before he moves his host to [[Harrenhal]], Lord Tywin sends Tyrion to King's Landing to act as [[Hand of the King]] in his stead. Tywin does not trust the "jackanapes" on the [[small council]]: Baelish, Grand Maester [[Pycelle]], and [[Varys]], the [[master of whisperers]]. He wants Tyrion to rein in his newly crowned nephew and prevent further mistakes by Joffrey like Lord Eddard Stark's execution and Ser [[Barristan Selmy]]'s dismissal, but forbids Tyrion from taking Shae to court. Tyrion disobeys his father as much as he dares and brings Shae to King's Landing with him in secret.{{Ref|AGOT|69}}

[[File:Tyrion Shagga mountain clansmen.jpg|thumb|350px|Tyrion with [[Shagga]] and the [[Vale mountain clans|mountain clansmen]], by Amok ©]]
Tyrion, along with his mountain clansmen, Shae, and Bronn, arrives at King's Landing during the [[tourney on King Joffrey's name day]] and presents Tywin's letter which names him Hand in his father's absence, much to Cersei's dismay. She threatens to name it a forgery and throw him in the dungeon, but Tyrion promises to help her get Jaime back and Cersei concedes. She also admits she needs help and agrees to ally herself with Tyrion, though they both have no intention of keeping it. This leads to a power struggle between the two. Tyrion takes up residence in the [[Tower of the Hand]] and as his first act of business removes the heads of the executed [[House Stark|Stark]] household from the walls of the [[Red Keep]].{{Ref|ACOK|3}} He also grows a beard of blonde and black hair.{{Ref|ACOK|2}}

Tyrion forges an alliance with Varys who helps him to replace Lord [[Janos Slynt]] with Ser [[Jacelyn Bywater]] as Commander of the [[City Watch of King's Landing|City Watch]] and sends Janos and a few of his cronies to the Wall. Tyrion gives instructions for [[Allar Deem]] to be tossed overboard.{{Ref|ACOK|8}}

Tyrion concocts a plan to identify Cersei's informants on the small council. He tells Petyr Baelish, Varys, and Pycelle each different plans that he has for [[Myrcella Baratheon|Myrcella]] and [[Tommen Baratheon|Tommen]].{{Ref|ACOK|17}} When Cersei confronts him about the plan that he divulged to Pycelle, Tyrion knows that Pycelle is the informant.{{Ref|ACOK|20}} Tyrion's true plan is to send Myrcella to [[Dorne]] to be betrothed to Prince [[Trystane Martell]]. To further garner Dornish support, he offers [[Doran Martell]], [[Prince of Dorne]], a seat on the small council and promises to turn over the men that murdered Doran's sister [[Elia Martell|Elia]].{{Ref|ACOK|17}}{{Ref|ACOK|20}} For his part in giving Cersei private information, Pycelle is confined to the [[black cells]] beneath the Red Keep.

Tyrion tries to protect Sansa Stark from Joffrey's public cruelties.{{Ref|ACOK|32}}

With his place at court secure and successfully outsmarting Cersei at every turn, Tyrion begins a series of initiatives to prepare the city for the siege, commanding the construction of fishing boats. He also opens the [[kingswood]] for hunting and sends gold cloaks out to forage, but this is still not enough to feed the overcrowded city. Tyrion commands the blacksmiths around the city to begin construction on a giant chain which will allow him to close the [[Blackwater Rush]].{{Ref|ACOK|15}} He also has [[Hallyne]] of the [[Alchemists' Guild]] synthesize a large quantity of [[wildfire]].{{Ref|ACOK|20}} Eventually, he sends his clansmen to the kingswood to snuff out outriders and scouts loyal to [[Stannis Baratheon]].{{Ref|ACOK|49}}

Tyrion sets Shae up in a [[manse near the Iron Gate]] to keep her existence in King's Landing a secret.{{Ref|ACOK|8}} Varys, however, knows her location, and helps Tyrion use [[Chataya's brothel]] as a front. Once inside the brothel, Tyrion passes through a tunnel that takes him to a location near the [[Hill of Rhaenys]] where he can safely travel to Shae's manse without being followed.{{Ref|ACOK|15}} She is restless there, however, and wishes to see more of court. Following the [[riots in King's Landing]], Tyrion moves Shae to the Red Keep for her safety in the guise of [[Lollys Stokeworth]]'s maid.{{Ref|ACOK|44}}

Tyrion's cousin, Ser [[Cleos Frey]], brings peace terms from Robb Stark, asking that [[Sansa Stark|Sansa]] and [[Arya Stark]] be released (although Arya is not, in fact, held at King's Landing) in exchange for all captives save Jaime, and that Joffrey renounce all claims to the [[north]] and [[riverlands]].{{Ref|ACOK|7}} Tyrion deems the terms unacceptable.{{Ref|ACOK|20}} Tyrion drugs Cersei with a potion stolen from [[Pycelle's chambers]]{{Ref|ACOK|17}} so that she will not be able to attend court, being instead indisposed on the privy.{{Ref|ACOK|25}} Tyrion sends Cleos back with the counter-offer that he will release Sansa and Arya along with a number of captive Stark bannermen in return for Robb's fealty and Jaime's release, setting up an escape plan for Jaime to be orchestrated by men in Cleos's party.{{Ref|ACOK|25}} Tyrion's [[Plot to free Jaime Lannister|plot to free Jaime]] fails at Riverrun, however.{{Ref|ACOK|39}}

When Stannis's forces attack King's Landing in the [[Battle of the Blackwater]], Bronn raises the chain between two newly-built [[winch towers]] which traps many ships of the rival [[royal fleet]]s in the Blackwater Rush. The wildfire commissioned from the alchemists is then launched at the ships and they are trapped in the river to burn, unable to reach the safety of [[Blackwater Bay]].{{Ref|ACOK|58}}

During the battle, Tyrion is forced to lead a sortie out past the city walls because [[Sandor Clegane]], terrified of fire, refuses to do so.{{Ref|ACOK|59}} Tyrion heads his men in a wedge formation dispersing the men assaulting the [[King's Gate]]. He then continues with his men to hold the men crossing over a makeshift bridge made of the sinking galleys of Stannis's fleet in the river. During the battle, Ser [[Mandon Moore]] of the [[Kingsguard]] turns on Tyrion and tries to kill him, slicing off his nose, but Tyrion is saved by his squire, [[Podrick Payne]], before Mandon can kill him.{{Ref|ACOK|61}} Tywin's father, Lord Tywin, arrives with Lord [[Mace Tyrell]], and Stannis is forced to retreat.{{Ref|ACOK|65}}

Tyrion wakes up in bed sometime after the battle, suffering from serious facial wounds and the loss of most of his nose.{{Ref|ACOK|67}} The wounds are treated by Maester [[Ballabar]], but Tyrion asks for him to be replaced with Maester [[Frenken]], whom Tyrion is more familiar with.{{Ref|ACOK|67}}{{Ref|ASOS|4}} Tyrion suspects that Cersei was behind Mandon's assassination attempt.{{Ref|ACOK|67}}

Somnium Draconis: /* A article for the drafts */

==Flames in the Targaryen COA==
Source for the color of the flames in the Targaryen COA? As far as I know it is a pure assumption on [[:File:House Targaryen.svg]] and should not be reflected in the text. [[User:Potsk|Potsk]] ([[User talk:Potsk|talk]]) 09:36, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
:Looking at the description of the Targaryen sigil and the mention of the color of the flames there are the folowing example's from the books 1) Dany thinking about having a banner made in aSoS ''(She closed her eyes to imagine how it would look: all flowing black silk, and on it the red three-headed dragon of Targaryen, '''breathing golden flames''')'' 2)there is Dunk seeing a banner in THK ''(As Dunk turned his head, a gust of wind lifted the black silk pennon atop the tall staff, and the fierce three-headed dragon of House Targaryen seemed to spread its wings, '''breathing scarlet fire'''.)'' There are other mentions of the flames but those are either from personal sigils (aerion's breathing golden flames) or don't mention the color of the flames. Dany's imagining is what she would do if she had a banner made, not what a Targaryen banner would have actually looked like. Dunk however actually sees one, so the color of the flames at least in the reign of Daeron II was scarlet . [[User:Direpupy|Direpupy]] ([[User talk:Direpupy|talk]])
::Thank you! I'll restore the edit adding the reference about the scarlet fire. --[[User:Somnium Draconis|Somnium Draconis]] ([[User talk:Somnium Draconis|talk]]) 14:00, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

==Date of 48 for the birth of Sheepstealer==
What do you base this on? Because al we have is "born when Jaehaerys I was young" wich could be anything between birth and adulthood, so why did you make the earliest date of birth the start of Jaehaerys reign? [[User:Direpupy|Direpupy]] ([[User talk:Direpupy|talk]]) 09:53, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
:While you can read the use of the title king as an implication of it taking place in his reign, it can equaly just be because Gyldayn does not want his readers who only know him as king to get confused, or he could have just liked the good sounding phrase "when they old king was young". You have to keep in mind that this is a maester writing a literary work meant to capture they attention of his readers for a rather dry subject, history. You also have to wonder why he cals him by his epithet [old king] and not his name [Jaehaerys] this again reeks of a literary choise and not a hint at a timeframe. and lastly there is no reason to assume that a maester writing long after king Jaehaerys was dead would only call him king when writing about his reign or a event during his reign. I see no reason to assume the use of the phrase Old King means it must have been during Jaehaerys reign. I am going to undo your change because of this.[[User:Direpupy|Direpupy]] ([[User talk:Direpupy|talk]]) 14:09, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
::A note is a great idea, i did not mean to imply that you did not have a point, just that its not something that can be stated as a fact and therefore used to narrow down a time frame on the birth of Sheepstealer. Otherwise its actually a great catch on your part.[[User:Direpupy|Direpupy]] ([[User talk:Direpupy|talk]]) 15:29, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

==Rust==
I see you've changed some blazons with "rusted" in it to "brunâtre." This doesn't seem right to me considering brunâtre is a color while rust is inherently a quality of metal. The objects on these COAs are also specified as "rusted," not "rust" or "rust-colored." In my opinion "rusted proper" is correct. [[User:Potsk|Potsk]] ([[User talk:Potsk|talk]]) 13:09, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
:Hi. As far as I know, rust is not a quality of metal used in the traditional heraldry (I'm pretty sure that "rusted proper" is an incorrect definition, since a rusted axe, like in the case of the Dustins, is not "proper") and it's more plausible that "rusty" and "rusted" mean a certain color, the color of rust indeed. But, if it is really a quality, even so rust needs to be depicted with a color, like the other elements of the COAS. Since the color rust does not exist in traditional heraldry, one must refer to the tinctures that most closely resemble that red-brown hue. I used brunâtre, but the problem is that I may have been too hasty, because perhaps "sanguine" or simply "gules" would have been more appropriate, as suggested by [https://www.adrianempire.org/documents/manuals/heraldry%20%20manual%202016.pdf this text] ("Gules can be maroon, red-orange, fire-engine red, deep pink, rust, or even salmon"). Considering this, for now I will restore the form "rusted", waiting to understand how to better define that term. --[[User:Somnium Draconis|Somnium Draconis]] ([[User talk:Somnium Draconis|talk]]) 14:51, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

::Gules, sanguine, and brunâtre are all equally incorrect. They are all solid colors. "An axe brunâtre" can only be interpreted as a brown axe, it makes no indication of rust. Writing the rusted axe as an object in its own right "a rusted-axe" might do the trick, however. Specifying a tincture only complicates things. [[User:Potsk|Potsk]] ([[User talk:Potsk|talk]]) 13:18, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

:::@[[User:Potsk|Potsk]] I asked the opinion of a content creator who is making a series of videos analyzing Westerosi heraldry. She confirmed that there's no such thing as "rusted" or "spotted weapons" in the traditional heraldry, which means the blades of House Dustin's longaxes should be depicted as "gules", like in the previous version of [https://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/File:House_Dustin.svg File: House Dustin.svg]. --[[User:Somnium Draconis|Somnium Draconis]] ([[User talk:Somnium Draconis|talk]]) 16:22, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

:::: GRRM has stated that the heraldry in the books does not follow the formal rules, so applying these rules to his heraldry is incorrect. As such whether or not rusted weapons where a thing in traditional heraldry is a moot point and of no consequence when it comes to the heraldry of westeros. Here is a link to the so spake Martin page where you can find GRRM's statement on heraldry in his world https://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/Heraldry_in_Westeros [[User:Direpupy|Direpupy]] ([[User talk:Direpupy|talk]]) 14:33, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

::::: I'm aware of that, but the problem is that in the wiki we are already following the formal rules: in the books words like ''Or, a stag salient, crowned, sable'' for [[House Baratheon]]'s COA are never used; the description is simply " a crowned stag, black, on a golden field" (AGOT appendix). If we stick to what GRRM said, we should simply remove all the traditional blazons from the wiki, leaving only the "basic" description, but if we decide to keep the blazons, I think we should make them more observant of the formal rules for a matter of consistency. --[[User:Somnium Draconis|Somnium Draconis]] ([[User talk:Somnium Draconis|talk]]) 16:17, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

::::::Why should the traditional blazons be more observant of real-life heraldic norms than the actual heraldry from the books? Wouldn't that just be trading one inconsistency for another? (If there is an inconsistency in what we have now. I don't really see it) The formal blazons are attempts at translating the looser descriptions from the books as accurately as possible; as far as I understand it's to assist in constructing and fact-checking COA images, as well as having a consistent form for the blazons which the books don't really have. "A black stag on a gold field" can only be "Or, a stag sable," so it remains faithful. "A rusted longaxe" can be interpreted in a number of ways out of context, but the fact that characters look at the Dustin or Melcolm banners and know that the objects are "rusted" rather than simply brown, suggests that it is more than just a solid brown color like "brunâtre" indicates. Look at Duncan the Tall's arms as well: the color of the field is "sunset," and we know that's not just a poetic way of saying "gold (or)," "orange (tenné)," or "red (gules)" because Brienne remarks that it's more like a painting than a proper coat of arms. Thus using any of the standard tinctures in the blazon is highly inaccurate, and we can only make up a brand new tincture that we call "sunset." It's not like real-life heraldry is inflexible and unchanging anyway. There are institutions that define "the rules" (sometimes differing rules depending on the institution), but historically and in modern times they have not always been followed to the letter. The coat of arms of Albania breaks the rule of tincture. The coat of arms of Jordan has bronze which is a metal that doesn't really exist in heraldry according to the most authoritative institutes. It's like language - sometimes new words are coined. [[User:Potsk|Potsk]] ([[User talk:Potsk|talk]]) 17:26, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

:::::::We follow the rules in so far as it aplies to the heraldry but do not observe it strikly, this has always worked in the past as a compromise. Personaly i do not agree with it and think we should not use the formal rules at all, but again this is a compromise and i do not see the problem with adding things like rusted to the description.[[User:Direpupy|Direpupy]] ([[User talk:Direpupy|talk]]) 07:36, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

==Argent, white, and silver==
You're mostly right about this but you have it backwards. Since "argent" (despite the literal translation) always depicts the color white in heraldry, any mentions of "silver" in ASOIAF heraldry should be kept as "silver" while "white" should be translated as "argent." I'm starting to agree with your suggestion of removing the real-life traditional blazons because this is just too complicated... [[User:Potsk|Potsk]] ([[User talk:Potsk|talk]]) 01:22, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
:@[[User:Potsk|Potsk]] There's the same problem for yellow and gold. Yes, I still think it would be better removing traditional blazons. --[[User:Somnium Draconis|Somnium Draconis]] ([[User talk:Somnium Draconis|talk]]) 11:08, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

:@[[User:Potsk|Potsk]] Not true. Argent is often shown as white in heraldry, but not always. See [https://www.flickr.com/photos/baz_manning/8565782807 here] and [https://www.flickr.com/photos/baz_manning/8609307477 here] for counter-examples. [[User:Zacwill16|Zacwill16]] ([[User talk:Zacwill16|talk]]) 18:56, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
:I think it would be a shame if the traditional blazons were removed personally. Blazonry is a lot more concise and accurate than plain English once you get the hang of the jargon (e.g. instead of "a shield split into halves by a horizontal line" you can just say "per fess"). [[User:Zacwill16|Zacwill16]] ([[User talk:Zacwill16|talk]]) 21:34, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
::However, in Westeros traditional blazons are not used, as far as we know, and GRRM himself explained heraldry in Westeros is different from real-life heraldry. --[[User:Somnium Draconis|Somnium Draconis]] ([[User talk:Somnium Draconis|talk]]) 22:54, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
:::So keep the blazons, but note somewhere - perhaps on the [[Heraldry]] page, which I think already has something like this - that the blazons are fan-made wording rather than from the books (which should be obvious since they're in French, but hey), and may not follow the exact wording of traditional blazons. We could also note that real-world blazonry is much more regulated today than it was in the Middle Ages, as people broke the "rules" all the time, and GRRM is simply echoing that less-regimented period. --[[User:Mindset|Mindset]] ([[User talk:Mindset|talk]]) 23:29, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

:::The differences aren't so great that Westerosi arms can't be blazoned according to real-life rules (the main ones are that Westerosi heraldry has a greater number of tinctures and has no fixed system for differencing and marshalling). If the wiki were to contain only things that exist in-universe then it wouldn't have images like [[:File: The Eyrie-TN.jpg|this]] one, since Westerosi artists probably aren't capable of photorealism. [[User:Zacwill16|Zacwill16]] ([[User talk:Zacwill16|talk]]) 23:31, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

==Orys Baratheon BTS==
Hi, I was wondering if there were any similarity between Orys and Odo/Robert apart from them being half-brothers to Conquerors ? It seems a bit light to me to merit a mention. --[[User:Thomaerys Velaryon|Thomaerys Velaryon]] ([[User talk:Thomaerys Velaryon|talk]]) 11:54, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

:@[[User:Thomaerys Velaryon|Thomaerys Velaryon]] Hi. In my opinion there are several similarities. Odo and Robert were made earls by William I, like Orys was an important vassal of Aegon, but then they were involved in conflicts against William I and William II, like the Baratheons rebelled against the Targaryens. Even the name Odo and Robert call to mind Orys and Robert Baratheon. --[[User:Somnium Draconis|Somnium Draconis]] ([[User talk:Somnium Draconis|talk]]) 12:32, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

==House Toyne==
Why did you remove the SSM about Barristan confusing two tournaments from the House Toyne page? As far as i know no new information has come forward that this is incorrect.[[User:Direpupy|Direpupy]] ([[User talk:Direpupy|talk]]) 11:32, 2 February 2025 (UTC)
:@[[User:Direpupy|Direpupy]] Hi. I removed the note because I planned to create two separate entries for the Storm's End tourneys, one on the tourney Barristan talks about (with Lord Steffon Baratheon) and one on the tourney mentioned in the White Book (with Lord Robert Baratheon). Though, I have to admit the removal can appear confusing; it would have been better to remove the note only after working on the entries, so I'll restore it for the time being. --[[User:Somnium Draconis|Somnium Draconis]] ([[User talk:Somnium Draconis|talk]]) 12:09, 2 February 2025 (UTC)

==Jonquil Darke==
The name does have a similarity, but the similarities do end there Joan of arc was a peaseant girl and did not actually fight herselfmshe carried a banner and served as rallying point. Jonquil is a noble bastard and a fighter. Joan was also a religeus figure wich Jonquil is most certainly not. The new note about the name is a good one i will make a smal change to it about the sililareties ending there.[[User:Direpupy|Direpupy]] ([[User talk:Direpupy|talk]]) 08:39, 14 February 2025 (UTC)

==Thank you==
Thank you for cleaning up my age notes a little. Your attention to detail is always greatly appreciated :) [[User:Imriel|Imriel]] ([[User talk:Imriel|talk]]) 14:28, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

==Yoren in The Mad King==
Hey Somnium Draconis. So when the cast list was first posted last month, Lewis Howard's role was listed as “Lannister knight / Yoren, a wandering crow / Squire 3 / Smallfolk 7 / Puppeteer,” but now his role is just listed as Ensemble. I hadn’t seen that it is different now. I actually have a [https://imgur.com/a/H9SwKiq screenshot] that I’d sent to a friend. If this isn’t listed in any official public place anymore, we should just wait until the play officially opens to note that he is the crow at the tourney in the GoT verse. I would think I made it up if I didn’t have the screenshot LOL. [[User:Imriel|Imriel]] ([[User talk:Imriel|talk]]) 16:34, 22 June 2026 (UTC)
:Fair enough! --[[User:Somnium Draconis|Somnium Draconis]] ([[User talk:Somnium Draconis|talk]]) 20:12, 22 June 2026 (UTC)

== A article for the drafts ==

Just as there is an article for the [[Errata of main series]], shouldn't there also be an article for the [[Drafts of main series]] (or something like that), which would cover all of the unused drafts of the Cushing Library and beyond? Kind regards. [[User:Luis7M|Luis7M]] ([[User talk:Luis7M|talk]]) 22:11, 8 September 2026 (UTC)
:@[[User:Luis7M|Luis7M]] It's an interesting idea.

The '''founder of House Spicer''' was a wealthy merchant born to [[Maggy the Frog]].{{ref|AFFC|36}}

==History==
His father was trading [[saffron (spice)|saffron]] and pepper in [[Essos]] when he met and married his mother, a [[Maegi]] whom he brought to [[Westeros]].{{ref|ASOS|19}} Some claim that she enchanted him with a [[spell]], though more likely she only needed her sexual charms.{{ref|AFFC|36}} No one could pronounce her real name, so this [[witch]] woman soon became known as Maggy the Frog or simply "Maegi" to the people of [[Lannisport]] who visited her for her [[medicine|cures]] and [[love potion]]s.{{ref|ASOS|19}}

Presumably their eldest son, he became a wealthy merchant who was later elevated by Lord [[Tytos Lannister]], becoming a petty [[lord]] and the founder of [[House Spicer]].{{ref|AFFC|36}} House Spicer's wealth led the founder's daughter, [[Sybell Spicer]],{{ref|AFFC|44}} to marry [[Gawen Westerling]], lord of ancient but impoverished [[House Westerling]].{{Ref|aSoS|19}} This has made the younger generation of Westerlings poor marriage matches due to being descended of upjumped merchants.{{ref|AFFC|44}}

Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages

2026-09-04T20:12:56Z

Somnium Draconis: /* Balerion Otherys */

__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 (Continued)|page 2]], [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)|page 3]] or [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)|page 4]]. You are currently on page 1.}}
{{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:<ref group="N">However there are exceptions, like [[Duncan the Tall]] being a squire when he was six years old or [[Daemon Blackfyre]] being knighted when he was twelve years old.</ref>

#A mother will be no older than ~52 years old at the earliest possible birth year 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 in accordance with their page name, so they can be distinguished from one another.

==Addam Hightower==
===Birth===
[[Addam Hightower]] was the father of Manfred Hightower,<ref>asoiaf.westeros.org: [SPOILERS] Family trees and successions - [https://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?/topic/152622-spoilers-family-trees-and-successions/&do=findComment&comment=8276294 Hightower relations (December 13, 2018)]</ref> who was born at the latest in {{Date|-10}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Manfred Hightower (son of Addam)|Manfred Hightower (son of Addam)]])''. Addam would have been at least twelve years old at the moment of Manfred's birth, meaning that 22 BC is the latest possible year of birth for Addam.

No further specifications can be given. Addam was thus born in or before {{Date|-22}}.

===Death===
[[Addam Hightower]] succeeded his father, Manfred Hightower, as Lord of the Hightower when Manfred died. Manfred died "soon after" Oldtown had been attacked in 10 AC.{{Ref|FAB|Reign of the Dragon - The Wars of King Aegon I}} It is unknown how much time passed between the attack and Manfred's death. As 10 AC is the first possible moment for Manfred's death, Addam is known to have lived at least until 10 AC as well, placing his death no earlier than 10 AC.

Eventually, Addam was himself succeeded by his son, also named Manfred.{{Ref|FAB|The Sons of the Dragon}} Manfred already ruled Oldtown by {{Date|23}},{{Ref|FAB|The Sons of the Dragon}} demonstrating that Addam died no later than 23 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Addam thus died in or between {{Date|10}} and {{Date|23}}.

==Addam Osgrey==
===Birth===
[[Addam Osgrey]] was twelve years old in {{Date|196}}.{{Ref|TSS}} That gives him the following options:
* 11 turning 12 in 196 AC, placing his birth in 184 AC
* 12 turning 13 in 196 AC, placing his birth in 183 AC

No further specifications can be given. Addam was thus born in either {{Date|183}} or {{Date|184}}.

==Aegon Blackfyre==
===Birth===
[[Aegon Blackfyre]] was twelve years old when he died in {{Date|196}}.<ref name=GreatBastards>[[So Spake Martin]]: [https://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/Concerning_the_Great_Bastards/ Concerning the Great Bastards (April 06, 2004)]</ref>{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}}
Being twelve years old in 196 AC gives the following options:
* 11 turning 12 in 196 AC, placing his birth in 184 AC
* 12 turning 13 in 196 AC, placing his birth in 183 AC

Aegon's father, Daemon Blackfyre, married Aegon's mother, Rohanne of Tyrosh, in {{Date|184}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}} That means that Aegon could not have been conceived earlier than 184 AC.

This eliminates 183 AC as a possible birth year for Aegon, leaving only {{Date|184}}.

==Aegon Frey (son of Aenys)==
===Birth===
[[Aegon Frey (son of Aenys)|Aegon Frey]] is at least one year older than his younger brother Rhaegar. Rhaegar was born no later than {{Date|274}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Rhaegar Frey|Rhaegar Frey]])'', meaning that Aegon was born no later than one year before, in 273 AC.

Aegon was the firstborn child of his father, Aenys Frey. Aenys was born no earlier than {{Date|238}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Aenys Frey|Aenys Frey]])'', meaning that Aegon was born no earlier than twelve years after 238 AC, placing his first possible moment of birth in 250 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Aegon was thus born in or between {{Date|250}} and {{Date|273}}.

==Aegon Frey (son of Stevron)==
===Birth===
[[Aegon Frey (son of Stevron)|Aegon Frey]] appears to be fifty years old in {{Date|299}}.{{Ref|ASOS|49}} That would place his birth roughly in 249 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Aegon was thus born roughly in {{Date|249}}.

==Aegon V Targaryen==
===Birth===
[[Aegon V Targaryen|Aegon Targaryen]] was judged to be eight or nine in {{Date|209}}.{{Ref|THK}} Aegon being eight or nine in 209 AC would give the following options:
* 7 turning 8 in 209 AC, placing his birth in 201 AC
* 8 turning 9 in 209 AC, placing his birth in 200 AC
* 9 turning 10 in 209 AC, placing his birth in 199 AC

Aegon was known to have been ten years old in {{Date|211}}{{Ref|TSS}} and eleven years old in {{Date|212}}.{{Ref|TMK}}
This leaves the following options:
* 9 turning 10 in 211 AC, and 10 turning 11 in 212 AC, placing his birth in 201 AC
* 10 turning 11 in 211 AC, and 11 turning 12 in 212 AC, placing his birth in 200 AC

In addition, Aegon is stated to have been twenty years old in {{Date|220}} when he got married.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon V}} As the last source of his age concerns a historical work, following rule #3, Aegon was born in 200 AC.

Aegon was thus born in {{Date|200}}.

==Aegon Targaryen (son of Gaemon)==
===Birth===
[[Aegon Targaryen (son of Gaemon)|Aegon Targaryen]]'s eldest child, [[Maegon Targaryen]],{{Ref|FAB|Aegon's Conquest}} was born no later than 68 BC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Maegon Targaryen|Maegon Targaryen]])''. Aegon would have been at least twelve years old at the birth, he would have been born no later than 80 BC.

When Aegon's grandfather, [[Aenar Targaryen]], fled Valyria for Dragonstone in 114 BC, he took with him all his kin, including his children.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Reign of the Dragons: The Conquest}}{{Ref|FAB|Aegon's Conquest}} Aegon was not yet born at the time, therefore he would have been born no earlier than 114 BC.

No further specifications can be given. Aegon was thus born in or between {{Date|-114}} and {{Date|-80}}.

==Aegon Targaryen (son of Rhaegar)==
===Birth===
''The World of Ice & Fire'' states that on the last day of {{Date|281}} it began to snow in King's Landing, and that it took only a fortnight for the Blackwater to freeze. That caused King Aerys II to command the pyromancers "to drive the winter off with their magics", which led to the pyromancers burning their wildfire along the walls of the Red Keep for a month. It is then stated that Rhaegar Targaryen was not at King's Landing at that moment, nor was he at Dragonstone "with Princess Elia and their young son, Aegon", as he had taken to the road "with the coming of the new year".{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Fall of the Dragons: The Year of the False Spring}} When exactly Rhaegar left is unclear. As such, it is known that [[Aegon Targaryen (son of Rhaegar)|Aegon Targaryen]] had been born by early 282 AC.

Elia Martell married Prince Rhaegar in {{Date|280}}, and their first child, Rhaenys, was born later that same year.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II}} This means that Elia and Rhaegar were married within the first three months of the year, and Rhaenys was thus born within the last three months of the year. After Rhaenys' birth, Elia went on bedrest for half a year.{{Ref|ADWD|61}} With Rhaenys's birth within the last three months of the year, Elia's bedrest would have lasted until any point in either the fourth, fifth or sixth month of 281 AC. ''(Note that Elia's bedrest might not have lasted precisely six months.)'' Aegon will have been conceived after Elia's bedrest had ended, and with a nine month pregnancy, he will thus have been born no earlier than very late in the year 281 AC, and no later than very early 282 AC. Per the visions in the [[House of the Undying]], Rhaegar was with Elia when he named Aegon.{{Ref|ACOK|48}} Rhaegar left Elia and Aegon in early {{Date|282}}, thereby confirming that Aegon cannot have been born later than very early 282 AC.

When asked, ''The World of Ice & Fire'' co-author Elio Garcia stated that, in regards to the year of Aegon's birth, "''George, too, is unclear on this point.''"<ref>asoiaf.westeros.org: [TWOIAF Spoilers] Inconsistency or Intentional? - [https://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?/topic/119534-twoiaf-spoilers-inconsistency-or-intentional/&do=findComment&comment=6435302 Comment by Ran (November 9, 2014)]</ref>

No further specifications can be given. Aegon was thus born in either late {{Date|281}} or very early {{Date|282}}.

===Death===
[[Aegon Targaryen (son of Rhaegar)|Aegon Targaryen]] died during the Sack of King's Landing. The Sack of King's Landing took place in {{Date|283}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Events#Robert's Rebellion/War of the Usurper|Robert's Rebellion/War of the Usurper]]'').

Aegon thus died in {{Date|283}}.

==Aegor Rivers==
===Birth===
[[Aegor Rivers]] is known to have been twenty-four years old at the Battle of the Redgrass Field in {{Date|196}}.<ref name=GreatBastards/> This would give Aegor the following options:
*23 turning 24 in 196 AC, placing his birth in 172 AC
*24 turning 25 in 196 AC, placing his birth in 171 AC

Aegor's mother, Barba Bracken, gave birth to Aegor after Aegon had ascended to the throne. Aegon ascended to the throne in {{Date|172}},{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}} ruling out 171 AC as a possible year of birth.

In addition, Aegor was born a fortnight before Princess Daenerys, who was born in {{Date|172}},{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}} and after Aegon IV had become king in 172 AC.

Aegor was thus born in {{Date|172}}.

===Death===
Aegor Rivers was sixty-nine years old when he died.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon V}} As Aegor had been born in {{Date|172}}, following rule #3, this means that Aegor died in {{Date|241}}.

==Aelor Targaryen==
===Birth===
[[Aelor Targaryen]] and his twin sister Aelora were the eldest children of Prince Rhaegel Targaryen,{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Targaryen Lineage}} who was born in {{Date|173}} at the earliest ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Rhaegel Targaryen|Rhaegel Targaryen]])''. As Rhaegel will have been at least twelve years old at the birth of his twins, this places Aelor's birth no earlier than {{Date|185}}. However, in {{Date|211}}, Aelor and his twin are mentioned as Rhaegel's children, with the description of them still being "children",{{Ref|TSS}} indicating they were still young at the time, and thus that Aelor had not yet reached manhood, therefore had not yet turned sixteen.<ref name=Majority>[[So Spake Martin]]: [https://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/Age_of_Majority/ Age of Majority (November 4, 1999)]</ref> As it is possible Aelor would turn sixteen later than year, this places his birth no earlier than {{Date|195}}.

Aelor is known to have been born by {{Date|209}}.{{Ref|THK}}

No further specifications can be given. Aelor was thus born in or between {{Date|195}} and {{Date|209}}.

'''''Note:''' On first meeting Aerion Targaryen, who is about his own age, Duncan the Tall judges that he might be one of the sons of Baelor, Maekar, or Rhaegel Targaryen based on his age.{{Ref|THK}} Dunk was born in {{Date|193}} ''(See [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Duncan the Tall|Duncan the Tall]])'', suggesting Aelor was likely born closer to 195 AC than 209 AC.''

==Aelora Targaryen==
===Birth===
[[Aelora Targaryen]] and her twin brother Aelor were the eldest children of Prince Rhaegel Targaryen,{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Targaryen Lineage}} who was born in {{Date|173}} at the earliest ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Rhaegel Targaryen|Rhaegel Targaryen]])''. As Rhaegel will have been at least twelve years old at the birth of his twins, this places Aelora's birth no earlier than {{Date|185}}. However, in {{Date|211}}, Aelora and her twin are mentioned as Rhaegel's children, with the description of them still being "children",{{Ref|TSS}} indicating they were still young at the time, and thus that Aelora had not yet reached the age of majority, therefore had not yet turned sixteen.<ref name=Majority/> As it is possible Aelora would turn sixteen later than year, this places her birth no earlier than {{Date|195}}.

Aelora's twin brother Aelor is known to have been born by {{Date|209}},{{Ref|THK}} meaning she too was born by that point as well.

No further specifications can be given. Aelora was thus born in or between {{Date|195}} and {{Date|209}}.

'''''Note:''' On first meeting Aerion Targaryen, who is about his own age, Duncan the Tall judges that he might be one of the sons of Baelor, Maekar, or Rhaegel Targaryen based on his age.{{Ref|THK}} Dunk was born in {{Date|193}} ''(See the [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Duncan the Tall|Duncan the Tall]] calculation)'', suggesting Aelor was likely born closer to 195 AC than 209 AC. As Aelor's twin, the same would apply to Aelora.

===Death===
[[Aelora Targaryen]] outlived her brother-husband, Prince Aelor Targaryen, who died in 217 AC.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys I}} However, she did not outlived her uncle, King Aerys I Targaryen, who died in 221 AC as Aerys's last heir before his death was his brother, Prince Maekar Targaryen.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys I}}

No further specifications can be given. Aelora thus died in or between {{Date|217}} and {{Date|221}}.

==Aelyx Targaryen==
===Birth===
[[Aelyx Targaryen]] would have been at least one year older than his younger brother, [[Baelon Targaryen (son of Aerys)|Baelon Targaryen]].{{Ref|FAB|Aegon's Conquest}} As the latest possible year of birth for Baelon is 54 BC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Baelon Targaryen (son of Aerys)|Baelon Targaryen (son of Aerys)]])'', Aelyx would have been born no later than 55 BC.

Aelyx Targaryen was the first child of Lord [[Aerys Targaryen (son of Aegon)|Aerys Targaryen]],{{Ref|FAB|Aegon's Conquest}} who was born at the earliest in 101 BC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Aerys Targaryen (son of Aegon)|Aerys Targaryen (son of Aegon)]])''. Aerys would have been at least twelve years old at the moment of Aelyx's birth, meaning that 89 BC is the earliest possible year of birth for Aelyx.

No further specifications can be given. Aelyx was thus born in or between {{Date|-89}} and {{Date|-55}}.

==Aemon Blackfyre==
===Birth===
[[Aemon Blackfyre]] was twelve years old when he died, in 196 AC.<ref name=GreatBastards/>
Being twelve years old in 196 AC gives the following options:
* 11 turning 12 in 196 AC, placing his birth in 184 AC
* 12 turning 13 in 196 AC, placing his birth in 183 AC

Aemon's father, Daemon Blackfyre, married Aemons mother, Rohanne of Tyrosh, in 184 AC.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}} That means that Aemon could not have been conceived earlier than 184 AC.

This eliminates 183 AC as a possible birth year for Aemon, leaving only {{Date|184}}.

==Aemon Targaryen (son of Maekar I)==
===Birth===
[[Aemon Targaryen (son of Maekar I)|Aemon Targaryen]] is stated to have been born in {{Date|198}} in ''[[A World of Ice and Fire]]''.{{Ref|AWOIAF|Aemon}}

'''''Note:''' In addition, it is known that Aemon went to the Citadel at the age of 9 or 10.{{Ref|ACOK|6}} It is also known that Aemon was at the Citadel during the Ashford Tourney in {{Date|209}} already.<ref>[[So Spake Martin]]: [https://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/Many_Questions/ Many Questions (October 14, 1998)]</ref> With Aemon's birth having been in 198 AC, he would have turned 9 in 207 AC, and 10 in 208 AC, showing that Aemon either went to the Citadel in {{Date|207}}, {{Date|208}} or {{Date|209}} (9 turning 10).''

==Aemon Targaryen (son of Viserys II)==
===Death===
[[Aemon Targaryen (son of Viserys II)|Aemon Targaryen]] is known to have died defending his brother, King Aegon IV Targaryen, from the brothers of Ser Terrence Toyne. Terrence's brothers wanted to take revenge for Terrence's death, which occurred in {{Date|178}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}} It is unknown how long after his death, Terrence's brothers tried to take revenge.

It is known that both Aemon and Naerys, his sister, died during Aegon IV's reign, and that Naerys died a year after Aemon.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}} Aegons reign ended in {{Date|184}}, meaning that Naerys's last possible year of death was 184 AC. And thus Aemons last possible year of death was 183 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Aemon thus died in or between {{Date|178}} and {{Date|183}}.

==Aenar Targaryen==
===Birth===
[[Aenar Targaryen]] took his children, [[Daenys Targaryen|Daenys]] and [[Gaemon Targaryen (son of Aenar)|Gaemon Targaryen]], with him when he fled [[Valyria]] in 114 BC.{{Ref|FAB|Aegon's Conquest}} Aenar's exile was motivated by a vision foretelling the destruction of Valyria that Daenys had when she was a maiden, meaning that Daenys was born no later than 12 years prior, in 126 BC. Furthermore, Daenys being born in no later than 126 BC means that Aenar was born at least twelve years prior to that date, in 138 BC.

No further specifications can be given. Aenar was thus born in or before {{Date|-138}}.

===Death===
[[Aenar Targaryen]] was still alive when the [[Doom of Valyria]] occurred in 102 BC.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Ancient History: The Doom of Valyria}}

No further specifications can be given. Aenar thus died in {{Date|-102}} or after.

==Aenys Blackfyre==
===Birth===
[[Aenys Blackfyre]] was at least a year younger than his elder brother, Haegon I Blackfyre, who was born in 190 AC the earliest ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Haegon I Blackfyre|Haegon I Blackfyre]])''. This means that one year later, 191 AC, is the first possible year of birth for Aenys.

Aenys had two younger brothers.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Maekar I}} All of the children of Daemon I had been born before the First Blackfyre Rebellion began in early {{Date|196}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}} That means that 196 AC, early in the year, is the last possible moment for Aenys's youngest brother to have been born. Which, in turn, means that 194 AC is the last possible year of birth for Aenys.

No further specifications can be given. Aenys was thus born in or between {{Date|191}} and {{Date|194}}.

==Aenys Frey==
===Birth===
[[Aenys Frey]] is at least one year younger than his older brother Emmon, who was born in {{Date|237}} or {{Date|238}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Emmon Frey|Emmon Frey]])''. Therefore Aenys could have been born no earlier than 238 AC.

Aenys is older than his younger sister Perianne by at least one year. Perianne was born in 249 AC the latest ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Perriane Frey|Perriane Frey]])'', meaning that Aenys was born no later than one year before, in 248 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Aenys was thus born in or between {{Date|238}} and {{Date|248}}.

==Aerion Targaryen==
===Birth===
[[Aerion Targaryen]] was the second born son of Maekar I Targaryen. This means that Aerion was born at least 1 year after his older brother Daeron. Daeron was born in 190 AC the earliest ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Daeron Targaryen (son of Maekar I)|Daeron Targaryen (son of Maekar I)]])'', meaning that Aerion was born no earlier than 191 AC.

Aerion was allowed to participate in the Tourney at Ashford in {{Date|209}},{{Ref|THK}} meaning he would have been at least 15 years old. The last possible year Aerion could have turned 15 was thus 209 AC, meaning that he would have been born in 194 AC the latest.

Ser Duncan the Tall judged Aerion to be near his own age (with Duncan who thinks of himself being 16 or 17 years old) in 209 AC.{{Ref|THK}} However, “near his own age” can also mean a year or so older or younger, thus Aerion could be born between 191 AC and 194 AC, which offers no further specification.

No further specifications can be given. Aerion was thus born in or between {{Date|191}} and {{Date|194}}.

==Aerion Targaryen (son of Daemion)==
===Birth===
[[Aerion Targaryen (son of Daemion)|Aerion Targaryen]]'s eldest child, [[Visenya Targaryen]],{{Ref|FAB|Aegon's Conquest}} was born in 29 BC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Visenya Targaryen|Visenya Targaryen]])''. Aerion would have been at least twelve years old at the birth, Aerion would have been born no later than 41 BC.

Aerion was the only child of Lord [[Daemion Targaryen]].{{Ref|FAB|Aegon's Conquest}} As the earliest possible year of birth for Daemion is 87 BC, ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Daemion Targaryen|Daemion Targaryen]])'', Aerion would have been born no earlier than twelve years later, in 75 BC.

No further specifications can be given. Aerion was thus born in or between {{Date|-75}} and {{Date|-41}}.

===Death===
[[Aerion Targaryen (son of Daemion)|Aerion Targaryen]] was succeeded as Lord of Dragonstone by his son, [[Aegon I Targaryen]].{{Ref|FAB|Aegon's Conquest}} As Lord of Dragonstone, Aegon is known to have visited the Arbor and the Citadel of Oldtown, aided Pentos and Tyrosh against Volantis, then returned to Dragonstone where he planned his conquest of Westeros.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Ancient History: The Doom of Valyria}} As the conquest started in 2 BC,{{Ref|FAB|Aegon's Conquest}} Aerion would have died no later than 2 BC, though most likely before.

Aerion's youngest child, [[Rhaenys Targaryen]],{{Ref|FAB|Aegon's Conquest}} was born no earlier than 26 BC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Rhaenys Targaryen|Rhaenys Targaryen]])''. Therefore Aerion died no earlier than 27 BC, since his daughter's conception could have happened in either the year of her birth or the previous year.

No further specifications can be given. Aerion thus died in or between {{Date|-27}} and {{Date|-2}}.

==Aeron Greyjoy==
===Birth===
[[Aeron Greyjoy]] was sixteen years old or older when he named his ship ''The Golden Storm''.{{Ref|AFFC|1}} Aeron's ship went down during the Greyjoy Rebellion in {{Date|289}},{{Ref|AFFC|1}} showing that Aeron had turned sixteen at least by 289 AC, placing his birth no later than 273 AC.

Aeron's brother Urrigon was fourteen years old when he died,{{Ref|AFFC|1}} in 283 AC.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Iron Islands: The Old Ways and the New}} Aeron was younger than Urrigon, making him thirteen or younger in 283 AC. If Aeron was 13 years old in 283 AC, he was born in either 270 AC (12 turning 13 in 283 AC), or 269 AC (13 turning 14 in 283 AC). This places Aeron's birth in 269 AC or later.

No further specifications can be given. Aeron was thus born in or between {{Date|269}} and {{Date|273}}.

==Aerys I Targaryen==
===Birth===
[[Aerys I Targaryen|Aerys Targaryen]] was the secondborn son of King Daeron II Targaryen. This means that he was born at least one year after his elder brother Baelor, who was born in 170 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Baelor Targaryen (son of Daeron II)|Baelor Targaryen (son of Daeron II)]])''. This would make Aerys's first possible year of birth 171 AC.

However, it is stated that Aerys' aunt Daenerys was born after Daeron II, Aerys' father, himself already had a son, not “sons”, thereby indicating that Daenerys was born after Baelor, but before Aerys. Daenerys was born in 172 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Daenerys Targaryen (daughter of Aegon IV)|Daenerys Targaryen (daughter of Aegon IV)]])'', so the earliest that Aerys could have been born, would be the year 172 AC (placing his birth behind Daenerys’ birth in the year).

Aerys was older than his brother Maekar, who was born the latest in 179 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Maekar I Targaryen|Maekar I Targaryen]])''. Between Aerys and Maekar is one other brother, meaning that Aerys was born at least two years before Maekar. This makes 177 AC the last possible year of birth for Aerys.

No further specifications can be given. Aerys was thus born in or between {{Date|172}} and {{Date|177}}.

==Aerys II Targaryen==
===Birth===
[[Aerys II Targaryen|Aerys Targaryen]] was eighteen years old when he came into his throne in 262 AC.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II}} This gives Aerys the following options:
* 17 turning 18 in 262 AC, placing his birth in 244 AC
* 18 turning 19 in 262 AC, placing his birth in 243 AC

As the source for Aerys's age concerns a historical work, rule #3 applies, placing Aerys's birth in 244 AC.

Aerys was thus born in {{Date|244}}.

==Aerys Targaryen (son of Aegon)==
===Birth===

==Alyn Haigh==
===Birth===
[[Alyn Haigh]] is at least one year younger than his older brother Donnel. Donnel was born in 252 AC the earliest ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Donnel Haigh|Donnel Haigh]])'', meaning that Alyn was born at least one year later, in 253 AC.

Alyn is a squire, a position which can be granted to a child from the age of 8.<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> This means that Alyn cannot be younger than 8 years in {{Date|299}}, meaning the youngest Alyn can be is 7 turning 8 in {{Date|299}}, which would place his birth in 291 AC. So Alyn was born no later than 291 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Alyn was thus born in or between {{Date|253}} and {{Date|291}}.

==Alyn Velaryon==
===Death===
[[Alyn Velaryon]] had bastard twins with Princess Elaena Targaryen, after Elaena was freed from the Maidenvault in {{Date|171}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Baelor I}} Alyn went away, by ship, and never returned. It is unknown when Alyn left Westeros, but a year after his disappearance, Elaena gave up hope for his return, and agreed to wed elsewhere.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Baelor I}} This marriage was Elaena's first, to Ossifer Plumm, in {{Date|176}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Baelor I}} Thus, by 176 AC, Alyn had already died (or so history would record it).

As it is unknown how much time passed between Elaena agreeing to marry elsewhere, and her actually marrying in 176 AC, it is technically possible that Alyn's disappearance occurred rather quickly after Elaena having been freed from the Maidenvault. Therefore, Alyn's death can only be said to have occurred no earlier than 171 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Alyn thus died in or between {{Date|171}} and {{Date|176}}.

'''''Note:''' As it is most likely that only little time passed between Elaena agreeing to marry elsewhere, and Elaena actually marrying, Alyn's actual disappearance seems to have appeared closer to 176 AC than to 171 AC.''

==Alys Arryn==
===Birth===
[[Alys Arryn]] was the younger sister of Jon Arryn.{{Ref|AFFC|41}} Jon Arryn was born in or between ~218 AC and ~220 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Jon Arryn|Jon Arryn]])'', so Alys was born at least one year after Jon's first possible year of birth, placing her birth in ~219 AC or after.

Alys gave birth to nine children, first eight daughters, then one son. The youngest of the daughters gave birth to a son, Harrold Hardyng.{{Ref|AFFC|41}} Harrold was born in either 281 AC or 282 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Harrold Hardyng|Harrold Hardyng]])''. This means that in 282 AC at the latest, Alys' youngest daughter would have been at least 12 years old. In addition, as this concerns Alys's eighth daughter, Alys herself would have been at least 19 years old when this daughter was born, meaning that Alys was at least 31 years old when Harrold was born. That places Alys's birth no later than 251 AC.

She would have been at least twelve years old at their birth, meaning that 197 AC is her latest possible year of birth.

The earliest year of birth for her youngest child, Daenora, is 196 AC ''(see the [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Daenora Targaryen|Daenora Targaryen]] calculation)''. Following rule #5, Alys would be no older than ~52 at the birth of her youngest child, meaning that the earliest possible year of birth for Alys is ~144 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Alys was thus born between ~{{Date|144}} and {{Date|197}}.

'''''Note:''' Her husband Prince Rhaegel was born between 173 AC and 178 AC ''(See the [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Rhaegel Targaryen|Rhaegel Targaryen]] calculation)''. Given that Targaryen men most often marry women close to their own age, Alys's birth year is likely closer to Rhaegel's birth than otherwise.''

===Death===
The earliest possible year of birth for Alys's last born child is {{Date|196}} ''(See the [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Daenora Targaryen|Daenora Targaryen]] calculation)'', therefore Alys's earliest possible year of death is {{Date|196}}.

No further specifications can be given. Alys was thus born in or between ~{{Date|192}} and {{Date|233}}.

'''''Note:''' Alys is described as a "girl" at the time Jason Lannister deflowered her. This, along with the fact she was a maiden,<ref>''[[The World of Ice & Fire]]: [http://www.georgerrmartin.com/world-of-ice-and-fire-sample/ The Westerlands (unabridged) (georgerrmartin.com)]</ref> suggests she was more likely born nearer to 233 AC than 192 AC.''

Since Sarra and Alys were not twins,{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} Alys would have been at least one year younger than Sarra. Therefore, the earliest possible year of birth for Alys is 134 AC.

Alys would have been at least one year older than her younger sister, Raya Stark.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} As the latest possible year of birth for Raya is 164 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Raya Stark|Raya Stark]])'', Alys would have been born no later than 163 AC.

[[Arya Stark]] is 9 years old when the royal court is visiting Winterfell in {{Date|298}}.{{Ref|AGOT|7}} Arya tells Roose Bolton she is 10 years old when he takes Harrenhal in {{Date|299}}.{{Ref|ACOK|47}} Arya is still 10 after Joffrey Baratheon's wedding, in {{Date|300}}, when she's on the ship to Braavos.{{Ref|AFFC|6}} With Arya being 10 in both 299 AC and 300 AC, Arya was 9 turning 10 in 299 AC and 10 turning 11 in 300 AC. This also means that Arya was 8 turning 9 in 298 AC.

Arya was thus born in {{Date|289}}.

==Arys Oakheart==
===Birth===
[[Arys Oakheart]] joined the Kingsguard in 290 AC.{{Ref|AFFC|13}} As the fifteen-year-old Jaime Lannister is the youngest member in the history to have joined the order,{{Ref|AFFC|13}} Arys would have been at least sixteen when he became a kingsguard in 290 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Arys was thus born in or before {{Date|274}}.

==Asha Greyjoy==
===Birth===
[[Asha Greyjoy]] is three years older than her younger brother Theon.{{Ref|ACOK|11}} Theon was born in either 278 AC or 279 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Theon Greyjoy|Theon Greyjoy]])''. With Asha being three years older than Theon, Asha would have been born in either 276 AC or 275 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Asha was thus born in either {{Date|275}} or {{Date|276}}.

==Ashara Dayne==
===Birth===
[[Ashara Dayne]] is known to have been "in her thirties" in {{Date|300}}, had she lived.<ref>[[So Spake Martin]]: [https://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/A_Myriad_of_Questions/ A Myriad of Questions (March 27, 2002)]</ref> This would mean that Ashara, in 300 AC, was between the ages of 31 and 39, though it is possible she would be turning 40 later in the year. This would place Ashara's birth in or between 260 AC and 269 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Ashara was thus born in or between {{Date|260}} and {{Date|269}}.

==Aurane Waters==
===Birth===
[[Aurane Waters]] is known to have been twenty-two years old in {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|AFFC|16}} This gives Aurane the following options:
* 21 turning 22 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 278 AC
* 22 turning 23 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 277 AC

No further specifications can be given. Aurane was thus born in either {{Date|277}} or {{Date|278}}.

==Axell Florent==
===Birth===
[[Axell Florent]] is the elder brother of Ryam Florent,{{Ref|ACOK|Appendix}} who was born no later than 262 AC ''(See [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Ryam Florent|Ryam Florent]])''. Axell was born at least one year before his younger brother, therefore Axell was born in or before 261 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Axell was thus born in or before {{Date|261}}.

{{Alphabetized Navigation}}

==Baela Targaryen==
===Death===
[[Baela Targaryen]] was still alive by the end of the book ''Fire & Blood'' (136 AC).{{Ref|FAB|The Lysene Spring and the End of Regency}}

Baela's niece, Princess Elaena Targaryen, had an affair with Baela's husband, Alyn Velaryon. Elaena had hope to marry Alyn before his disappearance at sea,{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Baelor I}} which occurred at the latest in 176 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Alyn Velaryon|Alyn Velaryon]])''. This implies Baela had passed by then.

No further specifications can be given. Baela thus died in or between {{Date|136}} or {{Date|176}}.

'''''Note:''' [[Rennifer Longwaters]] says that [[Alyn Velaryon]] was married to another when he fell for [[Elaena Targaryen]].{{Ref|AFFC|8}} This may imply that Baela passed away nearer to {{Date|176}} than otherwise, as Elaena, born 150 AC, ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Elaena Targaryen|Elaena Targaryen]])'' was confined to the Maidenvault away from the presence of men from 161 to 171 AC,{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Baelor I}} starting when she was only eleven.<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>''

==Baelish (father of Petyr)==
===Birth===
[[Baelish (father of Petyr)|Lord Baelish]] was the father of Petyr Baelish{{Ref|ACOK|17}} who was born in 268 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Petyr Baelish|Petyr Baelish]])''. He would have been at least twelve years old at Petyr's birth. Therefore, the latest possible year of birth for him is 256 AC.

Lord Baelish fought in the War of the Ninepenny Kings of 260 AC where he befriended Hoster Tully.<ref>[[So Spake Martin]]: [https://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/US_Signing_Tour_Half_Moon_Bay_CA/ US Signing Tour (Half Moon Bay, CA) (November 18, 2005)]</ref>{{Ref|AWOIAF|Petyr Baelish}} Being born in 256 AC would make him a four year old boy at the time of the war which is impossible. He was therefore born several years before 256 AC, although it cannot be stated how many years before.

No further specifications can be given. Lord Baelish was thus born at least several years before {{Date|256}}.

===Death===
[[Baelish (father of Petyr)|Lord Baelish]] died "several years" before the start of the series in 298 AC.{{Ref|AGOT|18}} Therefore he could not have died after 296 AC.

When Catelyn Stark sees Petyr Baelish at the start of the series she remembers of his father's passing and reflects that event makes Petyr a lord now.{{Ref|AGOT|18}} This indicates Petyr had not succeeded his father yet the last time they saw each other when he left Riverrun in 282 AC.{{Ref|AWOIAF|Petyr Baelish}}{{Ref|AGOT|40}} Therefore Lord Baelish could not have died before 282 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Lord Baelish thus died in or between {{Date|282}} and {{Date|296}}.

==Baelon Targaryen (son of Aerys)==
===Birth===
[[Baelon Targaryen (son of Aerys)|Baelon Targaryen]] would have been at least one year older than his younger brother, [[Daemion Targaryen]].{{Ref|FAB|Aegon's Conquest}} As the latest possible year of birth for Daemion is 53 BC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Daemion Targaryen|Daemion Targaryen]])'', Baelon would have been born no later than 54 BC.

Baelon Targaryen would have been at least one year younger than his older brother, [[Aelyx Targaryen]].{{Ref|FAB|Aegon's Conquest}} As the earliest possible year of birth for Aelyx is 89 BC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Aelyx Targaryen|Aelyx Targaryen]])'', Baelon would have been born no earlier than 88 BC.

No further specifications can be given. Baelon was thus born in or between {{Date|-88}} and {{Date|-54}}.

==Baelor Targaryen (son of Daeron II)==
===Birth===
[[Baelor Targaryen (son of Daeron II)|Baelor Targaryen]] was thirty-nine years old when he died in 209 AC.{{Ref|THK}} This gives Baelor the following options:
* 38 turning 39 in 209 AC, placing his birth in 170 AC
* 39 turning 40 in 209 AC, placing his birth in 169 AC

It is known that Baelor was seventeen years old when Princess Daenerys, his aunt, wed Prince Maron Martell.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}} Daeron II started the negotiations for Daenerys's marriage soon after he became King (he became king in 184 AC), and the negotiations lasted two years, where Maron agreed to be betrothed to Daenerys, once she was of age. Daenerys was married to Maron a year later.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}}

With Baelor's possible years of birth being 170 AC and 169 AC, Baelor was seventeen years old in either
* 186 AC (born in 169 AC, having been 16 turning 17)
* 187 AC (born in 169 AC, having been 17 turning 18)
* 187 AC (born in 170 AC, having been 16 turning 17)
* 188 AC (born in 170 AC, having been 17 turning 18)

According to rule #3, the second and fourth option are not valid, as this is sourced by a historical work from Yandel. This leaves only 186 AC and 187 AC for the possible year of Baelor having been 17, and thus as the date for Daenerys's wedding. As at least three years passed between Daeron II ascending the throne (in 184 AC) and Daenerys and Maron marrying, 186 AC is no longer an option.

This shows that, according to Yandel, Baelor turned seventeen in 187 AC, placing his birth in 170 AC.

Baelor was thus born in {{Date|170}}.

==Baelor I Targaryen==
===Birth===
[[Baelor I Targaryen|Baelor Targaryen]] was seventeen years old in {{Date|161}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Baelor I}} As the source for his age concerns a historical work, rule #3 applies, placing Baelor’s birth in {{Date|144}}.

==Balerion==
===Birth===
[[Balerion]] was around 200 years old when he died{{Ref|ASOS|8}} in {{Date|94}}.{{Ref|TRP}} This places Balerion's birth near 107 BC, due to there not being a year "0". However, Balerion is known to have been alive already when the Targaryens left the Valyrian Freehold for Dragonstone, which occurred in {{Date|-126}},{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Reign of the Dragons: The Conquest}} 220 years before his death, implying that Balerion had been born in {{Date|-126}} or before, but likely not much before.

==Balerion Otherys==
===Birth===
[[Balerion Otherys]] was the youngest of three children of Bellegere Otherys and King Aegon IV Targaryen. Bellegere and Aegon were together from {{Date|161}} until {{Date|171}}, and all the children were born during that decade.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}} This would place Balerion’s birth in 163 AC the earliest, at least one year after his elder sister Narha, and in 171 AC the latest.

No further specifications can be given. Balerion was thus born in or between {{Date|163}} and {{Date|171}}.

==Balon Greyjoy==
===Birth===
[[Balon Greyjoy]] was the fourth son of Quellon Greyjoy.{{Ref|AFFC|1}} Thus, he would have been at least 9 months younger than his elder sibling, Donel, Quellon's third son.{{Ref|AFFC|1}} As Donel and Balon have different mothers,{{Ref|AFFC|1}} it is possible that they were born in the same year. Donel was born no earlier than 255 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Donel Greyjoy|Donel Greyjoy]])'', placing Balon's birth no earlier than 255 AC as well.

Balon's third child, Asha, was born in either 275 AC or 276 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Asha Greyjoy|Asha Greyjoy]])'', indicating that Balon was at least fourteen years old at her birth (being a minimum of twelve years old at the birth of his eldest child, and a minimum of thirteen at the birth of his second child). As Asha's last possible year of birth is 276 AC, and Balon would have been at least fourteen years old at her birth, Balon was thus born no later than 262 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Balon was thus born in or between {{Date|255}} and {{Date|262}}.

==Barba Bracken==
===Birth===
[[Barba Bracken]] was 16 years old in {{Date|171}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}} As the source for her age concerns a historical work, rule #3 applies, placing Barba's birth in {{Date|155}}.

==Barba Bolton==
===Birth===
[[Barba Bolton]] 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 had to be under the age of thirty, Barba could not have been born any earlier than 103 AC. As Barba spoke coherently at the ball, she must have been at least three years old.

No further specifications can be given. Barba was thus born in or between {{Date|103}} and {{Date|130}}.

==Barbrey Ryswell==
===Birth===
[[Barbrey Dustin|Barbrey Ryswell]]'s maidenhead was taken in her youth by a young Brandon Stark, with whom she had an affair.{{Ref|ADWD|41}} indicating the two were of an age with one another. As Brandon was born in 262 AC,{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II}} Barbrey would have been born in {{Date|262}}, give or take a few years.

==Barristan Selmy==
===Birth===
[[Barristan Selmy]] was 23 when he was raised to the Kingsguard during the reign of Jaehaerys II, thus in either 259 AC, 260 AC, 261 AC, or 262 AC.{{Ref|AGOT|57}}{{Ref|AGOT|Appendix}}{{Ref|ASOS|67}}{{Ref|ADWD|55}} This gives Barristan the following options:
* 22 turning 23 in 259 AC, placing his birth in 236 AC
* 23 turning 24 in 259 AC, placing his birth in 235 AC
* 22 turning 23 in 260 AC, placing his birth in 237 AC
* 23 turning 24 in 260 AC, placing his birth in 236 AC
* 22 turning 23 in 261 AC, placing his birth in 238 AC
* 23 turning 24 in 261 AC, placing his birth in 237 AC
* 22 turning 23 in 262 AC, placing his birth in 239 AC
* 23 turning 24 in 262 AC, placing his birth in 238 AC

This gives Barristan the options of 235 AC to 239 AC as his year of birth.

Barristan was named to the Kingsguard only after killing Maelys I Blackfyre.{{Ref|ASOS|67}} Barristan killed Maelys during the War of the Ninepenny Kings, in {{Date|260}},{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Jaehaerys II}} late in the year.<ref group="N">Tywin Lannister returned from the war and began to demand his father's bannermen pay their debts. This led to a fight between House Lannister and House Tarbeck, which escalated until Lord Tytos forced a peace, which was said to have lasted “not quite a year”. In late 261 AC, Tywin Lannister found a way to legally break the peace.</ref>

Thus, Barristan could not have been named to the Kingsguard in 259 AC, and therefore, would not have been 22 turning 23 in 259 AC, or 23 turning 24 in 259 AC, removing the option of 235 AC as his possible year of birth.

In {{Date|300}}, Barristan thinks to himself it has been 53 years since the tourney at Blackhaven, when he was 10.{{Ref|ASOS|24}}{{Ref|ASOS|67}}{{Ref|ADWD|59}} This means the tourney at Blackhaven occurred in 247 AC. Being 10 years old in 247 AC, gives the following options:
* 9 turning 10 in 247 AC, placing his birth in 237 AC
* 10 turning 11 in 247 AC, placing his birth in 236 AC

This leaves only the options 236 AC and 237 AC, further eliminating 238 AC and 239 AC.

Barristan was 61 years old in {{Date|298}} during the Tourney of the Hand.{{Ref|AWOIAF|Barristan Selmy}} This leaves the following options:
* Either 60 turning 61 in 298 AC, placing his birth in 237 AC
* Either 61 turning 62 in 298 AC, placing his birth in 236 AC

Further, Barristan is known to be 63 years old in the year 300 AC.{{Ref|ADWD|59}} This leaves two options:
* 62 turning 63 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 237 AC
* 63 turning 64 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 236 AC

As well, Barristan is known to have been 16 years old in {{Date|253}}.{{Ref|AWOIAF|Barristan Selmy}}{{Ref|AWOIAF|Duncan}}{{Ref|ASOS|67}} That gives the following two options:
*Being 15 turning 16 in 253 AC, placing his birth in 237 AC
*Being 16 turning 17 in 253 AC, placing his birth in 236 AC

Each of these entries show that the options of 238 AC and 239 AC are eliminated, leaving only two options.

Barristan was 57 when winning a tourney,{{Ref|ASOS|67}} which took place in 294 AC.{{Ref|AGOT|27}} Barristan being 57 in 294 AC means he was:
* 56 turning 57 in 294 AC, placing his birth in 237 AC
* 57 turning 58 in 294 AC, placing his birth in 236 AC
This gives no further clarification.

Barristan, who was 61 years old during the Tourney of the Hand in {{Date|298}}, was also 61 when he was dismissed from the Kingsguard by Joffrey Baratheon.{{Ref|ASOS|67}} It is unknown in which year this event takes place (either in late 298 AC or early 299 AC):
* 60 turning 61 in 298 AC, placing his birth in 237 AC
* 61 turning 62 in 298 AC, placing his birth in 236 AC
* 61 turning 62 in 299 AC, placing his birth in 237 AC
(Due to being already 61 in 298 AC, Barristan could not have been 60 turning 61 in 299 AC).

This gives no further clarification.

No further specifications can be given. Barristan Selmy was thus born in either {{Date|236}} or {{Date|237}}.

==Barsena==
===Birth===
[[Barsena]] is roughly thirty years old in 300 AC,{{Ref|ADWD|52}} placing her birth roughly around {{Date|270}}. No further specifications can be given.

==Barth==
===Birth===
[[Barth]] was appointed Hand of the King in 58 AC.{{Ref|FAB|The Long Reign - Jaehaerys and Alysanne: Policy, Progeny, and Pain}} Ser Tywin Lannister was the youngest ever to be appointed at that position at the age of twenty in 262 AC.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II}} Therefore Barth was at least twenty-one years old in 58 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Barth was thus born in or before {{Date|37}}.

==Barthogan Stark==
===Birth===
[[Barthogan Stark]] was the fourth child of Lord [[Cregan Stark]] by his third wife, Lady [[Lynara Stark]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} Barthogan would have been at least one year younger than his sister [[Lyanna Stark (daughter of Cregan)|Lyanna]], Cregan's third child by Lynara.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} Lyanna was born no earlier than {{Date|138}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Lyanna Stark (daughter of Cregan)|Lyanna Stark (daughter of Cregan)]])'', indicating that 139 AC is the earliest possible birth year for Barthogan.

Barthogan would have been at least one year older than his younger brother, Brandon Stark.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} As the latest possible year of birth for Brandon was 183 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Brandon Stark (son of Cregan)|Brandon Stark (son of Cregan)]])'', Barthogan would have been born no later than 182 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Barthogan was thus born in or between {{Date|139}} and {{Date|182}}.

===Death===
Barthogan was killed when [[Skagos]]i rose up against Winterfell during the reign of King [[Daeron II Targaryen]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|The North: The Stoneborn of Skagos}} which lasted from {{Date|184}} to {{Date|209}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}}

No further specifications can be given. Barthogan thus died in or between {{Date|184}} and {{Date|209}}.

==Bella==
===Birth===
[[Bella]] was conceived during the Battle of the Bells, which took place in {{Date|283}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Events#Robert's Rebellion/War of the Usurper|Robert's Rebellion/War of the Usurper]])''.{{Ref|ASOS|29}}{{Ref|ADWD|24}} After the Battle of the Bells, Eddard Stark was married to Catelyn Tully. They conceived a child within a fortnight of their wedding, Robb, who was born in {{Date|283}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Robb Stark|Robb Stark]])''. Since Robb was conceived after Bella was conceived, and Robb was both conceived and born in 283 AC, Bella will thus have been born in {{Date|283}} as well.

==Bellenora Otherys==
===Birth===
[[Bellenora Otherys]] was the eldest of the three children of Bellegere Otherys and King Aegon IV Targaryen. Bellegere and Aegon were together from {{Date|161}} until {{Date|171}}, and all the children were born during that decade.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}} This would place Bellenora's birth in 161 AC the earliest, and in 169 AC the latest (as she had two younger siblings).

No further specifications can be given. Bellenora was thus born in or between {{Date|161}} and {{Date|169}}.

==Ben==
===Birth===
[[Ben]] is six years old in {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|AFFC|37}} That gives him the following options:
* 5 turning 6 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 294 AC
* 6 turning 7 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 293 AC

No further specifications can be given. Ben was thus born in either {{Date|293}} or {{Date|294}}.

==Ben Beesbury==
===Birth===
[[Ben Beesbury]] was at least 80 years old when he became a potential suitor to Arianne Martell. He died a few years later.{{Ref|AFFC|40}}

It is unknown when Doran Martell began to propose betrothals to Arianne. It is most likely that he did not do this while she was too young, though it definitely occurred after the secret document was signed. The document was signed before Ser Willam Darry got sick. Darry got sick when Daenerys Targaryen was 5 years old.{{Ref|AWOIAF|Daenerys Targaryen}} With Daenerys having been born in 284 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Daenerys Targaryen|Daenerys Targaryen]])'', she was five in both 289 AC and 290 AC. This makes 290 AC the last possible year where Darry and Oberyn Martell could have signed the contract.

In 290 AC, Arianne Martell would have been turning 14. Since Arianne was 14 years old when Daemon Sand asked for her hand in marriage,{{Ref|AFFC|40}} it is possible that Doran Martell started here, though possibly he began earlier.

If Doran began in 290 AC with proposing marriages, that would be the first year that Ben Beesbury might have been considered. Ben has been mentioned in 300 AC to have been dead for a few years (he died a few years after having been proposed as a suitor, and in 300 AC is thus dead). That suggests that between the proposal and his death at least two years had passed. Since it is mentioned he died a few years after the proposal, and not that he died “this year”, there seem to be at least three years in between the proposal and 300 AC. This would mean that Beesbury was at least 80 years old in 297 AC the latest, and in 290 AC the earliest.

Being 80 years old in 297 AC (possibly turning 81 later in the year), would place Bens birth in 216 AC. Being at least 80 years old in 290 AC would place Beesbury's birth in 210 AC or later.

No further specifications can be given. Ben Beesbury was thus born in or between {{Date|210}} and {{Date|217}}.

==Ben Blackthumb==
===Birth===
[[Ben Blackthumb]] came to Harrenhal as a boy and first smithed for House Lothston.{{Ref|ACOK|47}} House Lothston went extinct during the reign of King Maekar I Targayren{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Riverlands: House Tully}} (221 AC to 233 AC),{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Maekar I}} meaning that Ben was born before 233 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Ben was thus born before {{Date|233}}.

==Benedict Royce==
===Birth===
[[Benedict Royce]] fathered three daughters by 299 AC according to Catelyn Tully.{{Ref|ASOS|45}} The youngest was therefore born no later than 299 AC, the second no later than a year earlier in 298 AC, and the eldest no later than another year earlier in 297 AC. Benedict would have been at least 12 years old at his eldest's birth, therefore he could not have been born later than {{Date|285}}.

'''''Note:''' As all three daughters are wed, they're likely significantly older, but 299 AC is the only solid date we have to go by.''

===Death===
Benedict was married to [[Jocelyn Stark]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} with whom he had three daughters.{{Ref|ASOS|45}} He cannot have died earlier than the year before the youngest was born. Jocelyn, born no earlier than ~198 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Jocelyn Stark|Jocelyn Stark]])'', would have been at least 12 years old at the birth of the first, 13 at the second, and 14 at the third. Therefore the youngest daughter was born no earlier than ~212 AC, and Benedict died no earlier than ~{{Date|211}}.

==Benfred Tallhart==
===Birth===
After [[Benfred Tallhart]] has formed a group of lances called the Wild Hares in {{Date|299}}, his uncle Leobald describes the group to exist of boys "none older than nineteen years",{{Ref|ACOK|16}} indicating that Benfred is 19 years old at most. As it is possible that Benfred will turn twenty later that year, he was born no earlier than 279 AC.

Benfred's younger sister, Eddara, was born no later than {{Date|290}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Eddara Tallhart|Eddara Tallhart]])''. As Benfred will be at least one year older than his younger sister, he cannot have been born after 289 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Benfred was thus born in or between {{Date|279}} and {{Date|289}}.

==Benfrey Frey==
===Birth===
[[Benfrey Frey]] is an older brother of Willamen, Olyvar and Roslin, and a younger brother of Perwyn. Perwyn was born no earlier than 269 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Perwyn Frey|Perwyn Frey]])''. Benfrey comes next, so the earliest he could have been born is one year later than Perwyn, meaning that Benfrey was born no earlier than 270 AC.

Willamen comes after Benfrey, and Willamen's latest possible year of birth is 280 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Willamen Frey|Willamen Frey]])''. Having been born at least one year before Willamen, Benfrey was born no later than 279 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Benfrey was thus born in or between {{Date|270}} and {{Date|279}}.

==Benjen Stark==
===Birth===
[[Benjen Stark]] was the younger brother of Brandon, Eddard and Lyanna Stark.{{Ref|ASOS|24}} Lyanna was his first elder sibling. She was born in either {{Date|266}} or {{Date|267}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Lyanna Stark|Lyanna Stark]])''. That Benjen was born after Lyanna, means that he would have been at least one year younger than her, placing his birth in 267 AC the earliest, though it is possible he was born later.

No further specifications can be given. Benjen was thus born in {{Date|267}} or after.

'''''Note:''' According to George R. R. Martin, Benjen joined the Night's Watch in the direct aftermath of Robert's Rebellion, roughly around when his brother Eddard returned from the south and Eddard's wife and two sons took residence in Winterfell.{{Ref|SSM|1095}} Robert's Rebellion ended in {{Date|283}}, meaning Benjen joined the Night's Watch in {{Date|283}} or {{Date|284}}. While his age is not specified, Martin has elsewhere stated that the Night's Watch would not give its oaths to a boy that was seriously minor, like a twelve year old,{{Ref|SSM|1054}} the only known exception being [[Osric Stark]], elected Lord Commander of the Night's Watch at the age of ten.{{Ref|AFFC|5}} If Benjen was indeed at least twelve when he joined the Night's Watch, he would be born no later than approximately {{Date|272}}.''

==Benjen Stark (lord)==
===Birth===
[[Benjen Stark (lord)|Benjen Stark]]'s eldest son [[Rickon Stark (son of Benjen)|Rickon]]{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} was born no later than {{Date|96}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Rickon Stark (son of Benjen)|Rickon Stark (son of Benjen)]])''. As Benjen would have been at least twelve years old at the moment of Rickon's birth, he was born no later than 84 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Benjen was thus born in or before {{Date|84}}.

===Death===
Benjen was succeeded as Lord of Winterfell by his son Rickon,{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} who died in 121 AC.{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - A Son for a Son}} As such, Benjen could not have died any later than 121 AC.

[[Ellard Stark]] was Lord of Winterfell before Benjen. He is known to have ruled in 101 AC,{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Jaehaerys I}}. As Benjen ruled Winterfell after Ellard, Benjen could not have died any earlier than 101 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Benjen thus died in or between {{Date|101}} and {{Date|121}}.

==Benjen Stark (son of Artos)==
===Birth===

Artos would have been at least 12 years old at the birth, so Benjen was born no earlier than {{Date|198}}.

===Death===
Benjen had at least one child.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} He cannot have died earlier than the year before they were born. Benjen, born no earlier than 198 AC, would have been at least 12 years old at the birth. Therefore the child was born no earlier than 210 AC, and Benjen died no earlier than {{Date|209}}.

==Benjen Stark (son of Bennard)==
===Birth===
[[Benjen Stark (son of Bennard)|Benjen Stark]]'s next youngest sibling, [[Brandon Stark (son of Bennard)|Brandon Stark]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} was born no later than 125 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Brandon Stark (son of Bennard)|Brandon Stark (son of Bennard)]])''. Benjen would have been born at least a year earlier, so he was born no later than {{Date|124}}.

===Death===
Benjen was alive in 126 AC.{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - A Son for a Son}}

No further specifications can be given. Benjen thus died in {{Date|126}} or after.

==Benjicot Blackwood==
===Birth===
[[Benjicot Blackwood]] was thirteen years old in {{Date|131}}.{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - The Short, Sad Reign of Aegon II}}{{Ref|FAB|Aftermath - The Hour of the Wolf}} Furthermore, he is known to have been both eleven{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - Rhaenyra Triumphant}} and twelve{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - Rhaenyra Overthrown}} years old in 130 AC, demonstrating he was eleven turning twelve in that year, and thus was born in {{Date|118}}.

===Death===
[[Benjicot Blackwood]] had a long life,{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - The Short, Sad Reign of Aegon II}} and was alive in 136 AC.{{Ref|FAB|The Lysene Spring and the End of Regency}} By 206 AC, the lordship of Raventree Hall had passed on to Lord [[Quentyn Blackwood]],{{Ref|THK}} indicating Benjicot had died by then.

No further specifications can be given. Benjicot thus died in or between {{Date|136}} and {{Date|206}}.

==Bennard Stark==
===Birth===
When [[Bennard Stark]]'s older brother Lord [[Rickon Stark (son of Benjen)|Rickon Stark]]{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} died in {{Date|121}},{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - A Son for a Son}} Bennard became the regent for his nephew, [[Cregan Stark]], during his minority.{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - A Son for a Son}} In order to be Cregan's regent, Bennard had to have reached manhood in 121 AC, meaning that he was at least 16 years old in 121 AC. Therefore, 105 AC is the latest possible year of birth for Bennard.

No further specifications can be given. Bennard was thus born in or before {{Date|105}}.

===Death===
Bennard is known to have been alive in 126 AC.{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - A Son for a Son}}

No further specifications can be given. Bennard thus died in {{Date|126}} or after.

==Beren Tallhart==
===Birth===
[[Beren Tallhart]] is nine years old during the Harvest Feast in {{Date|299}}.{{Ref|ACOK|16}} That gives him the following options:
* 8 turning 9 in 299 AC, placing his birth in 290 AC
* 9 turning 10 in 299 AC, placing his birth in 289 AC

Later on in 299 AC, Beren has turned ten.{{Ref|ASOS|Appendix}} Being both nine and ten years old during 299 AC, shows that Beren turned ten in 299 AC, and was thus born in {{Date|289}}.

==Berena Hornwood==
===Birth===
[[Berena Hornwood]]'s youngest child, Princess Beren Tallhart, was born in {{Date|189}}. ''(See [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Beren Tallhart|Beren Tallhart]])'' Following rule #5, Berena would be no older than ~52 at the birth of her youngest child, meaning that the earliest possible year of birth for Berena is ~135 AC.

Her oldest child, Brandon Tallhart, was born at the latest in {{Date|285}}. ''(See [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Brandon Tallhart|Brandon Tallhart]])'' Berena would have been at least twelve years old at the birth of Brandon, meaning that her latest possible year of birth is 173 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Berena was thus born between ~{{Date|135}} and {{Date|173}}.

==Berena Stark==
===Birth===
[[Berena Stark]]'s next youngest sibling, [[Alysanne Stark]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} was born no later than 225 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Alysanne Stark|Alysanne Stark]])''. Berena would have been born at least a year earlier, so she was born no later than 224 AC.

Berena's next oldest sibling, [[Artos Stark]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} was born no earlier than 186 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Artos Stark|Artos Stark]])''. Berena would have been born at least a year later, therefore she was born no earlier than 187 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Berena was thus born in or between {{Date|187}} and {{Date|224}}.

==Beric Dondarrion==
===Birth===
[[Beric Dondarrion]] was almost 22 years old when he went out to bring Gregor Clegane to justice.{{Ref|AGOT|44}} This means he was still 21 years old. It is known that this event occurred in {{Date|298}}, since Eddard Stark mentions Robert Baratheon has been the King for fifteen years after Beric has left King's Landing,{{Ref|AGOT|47}} placing this events still in 298 AC (Robert Baratheon was crowned in 283 AC{{Ref|ADWD|Appendix}}).This means that Beric has the following options:
* 20 turning 21 in 298 AC, placing his birth in 277 AC
* 21 turning 22 in 298 AC, placing his birth in 276 AC

No further specifications can be given. Beric was thus born in either {{Date|276}} or {{Date|277}}.

===Death===
[[Beric Dondarrion]] died his seventh and final time three days after the Red Wedding.{{Ref|ASOS|Epilogue}}{{Ref|AFFC|42}} Robb Stark was preparing to march to Moat Cailin, and to attack it at the first day of {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|ASOS|45}} Moat Cailin is located at the northern border of the Neck, whereas the Twins are located south of the Neck,{{Ref|TLOIAF|Westeros}} and the time to cross the Neck has been established to be twelve days.{{Ref|AGOT|15}} Since Robb was to leave the day after the wedding, and believed he could be in position to attack Moat Cailin by the first day of 300 AC, he thus seemed to be certain a journey stated earlier to last at least for about 12 days could be completed before then. Having been twelve days away from Moat Cailin, with Beric dying on the third day, Beric's death thus occurred before the new year began, in {{Date|299}}.

==Beron Stark==
===Birth===
[[Beron Stark]], in his thirties, was mortally wounded and "fading fast".<ref>[[So Spake Martin]]: [https://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/1409/ Boskone (Boston, MA; February 17-19) (February 17, 2006)] - report 2</ref> There exists the small possibility that he lived long enough to reach his next birthday, so we can say he died between the ages of 30 and 40. As he died no earlier than 212 AC, and would have been 40 years old at most, Beron was born no earlier than 172 AC. As he died no later than 226 AC, and would have been 30 years old at least, Beron was born no later than 196 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Beron was thus born in or between {{Date|172}} and {{Date|196}}.

===Death===
[[Beron Stark]] is alive during the events of ''[[The Mystery Knight]]'',{{Ref|TMK}} which take place in 212 AC.<ref name=SmallQuestions>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> Beron is followed as Lord of Winterfell by his first son [[Donnor Stark]], who was in turn succeeded by his younger brother [[Willam Stark]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} Willam died in 226 AC.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Wall and Beyond: The Wildlings}} Therefore, Beron could not have died after 226 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Beron thus died in or between {{Date|212}} and {{Date|226}}.

'''''Note:''' Approximately ninety years before the events ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'', a Lord of Winterfell was dying of a wound taken against the [[ironborn]].{{ref|SSM|1408}} In {{Date|212}}, Lord Beron Stark was gathering forces to face the ironborn led by [[Dagon Greyjoy]],{{Ref|TMK}} which is one of several conflicts in the decades that followed the reigns of Lords [[Jonnel Stark|Jonnel]] and [[Barthogan Stark]] in which Starks died.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The North: The Lords of Winterfell}} These facts suggest that Beron Stark was likely the unidentified Lord Stark dying of a wound and died nearer to {{Date|212}} than otherwise, although the gap between his gathering forces as of ''The Mystery Knight'' and taking the mortal wound is unknown.''

==Bessa (Hag's Mire)==
===Death===
Bessa was murdered by Chett, who was sent to the Night's Watch for the crime. Chett was brought to Wall by Yoren,{{Ref|ASOS|Prologue}} who had served as wandering crow for approximately thirty years as of 299 AC.{{Ref|ACOK|9}} Therefore, Bessa died no earlier than {{Date|269}}.

Chett served as steward to Maester Aemon for four years before his removal from the position in late 298 AC or early 299 AC.{{Ref|ASOS|Prologue}} As Bessa died prior to his joining the Watch, she died in {{Date|295}} at the latest.

==Bethany Hightower==
===Birth===
[[Bethany Hightower]]'s mother died in childbirth "some years" before Bethany's father remarried shortly before the [[Dance of the Dragons]] began.{{Ref|FAB|Aftermath - The Hour of the Wolf}} Since the Dance began in {{Date|129}}, this places the wedding of Bethany's father in 129 AC at the latest. This means that Bethany's mother died no later than at least two years prior, no later than 127 AC. In turn, this places Bethany's birth no later than 127 AC.

No further specification can be given. Bethany Hightower was thus born in or before {{Date|127}}.

Therefore Bethany would have been born no earlier than ~230 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Bethany was thus born in or between ~{{Date|230}} and {{Date|266}}.

===Death===
[[Bethany Rosby]]'s youngest child was born in 282 AC the earliest ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Roslin Frey|Roslin Frey]])''. That means that Bethany was still alive in 282 AC at least, though she could have died during the birth, or later in the year. The first possible year in which Bethany died is thus 282 AC.

Bethany was Walder Frey's sixth wife. In 285 AC, Walder's seventh wife has given birth to Arwyn Frey ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Arwyn Frey|Arwyn Frey]])''. This means that Arwyn was conceived in 284 AC, and that thus Walders marriage to his sixth wife took place no later than 284 AC. This means that Bethany died no later than 284 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Bethany thus died in or between {{Date|282}} and {{Date|284}}.

[[Braxton Beesbury]] was nineteen in 84 AC.{{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 Braxton's birth in {{Date|65}}.

==Brienne of Tarth==
===Birth===
When [[Brienne of Tarth]] was no older than 13, Renly Baratheon had just turned 16.{{Ref|AFFC|4}} Renly was born in 277 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Renly Baratheon|Renly Baratheon]])''. This means that Renly turned 16 in 293 AC. With Brienne having just turned 13 in 293 AC, this places her birth in {{Date|280}}.

Brienne was thus born in {{Date|280}}.

==Briony==
===Birth===
[[Briony]]'s only child, [[Joy Hill]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Lannister Lineage}} was born in 288 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Joy Hill|Joy Hill]])''. Briony would have been at least 12 years old at the birth, so she was born no later than {{Date|276}}.

==Bronn==
===Birth===
[[Bronn]] is said to have been in his early to mid-thirties, as stated by GRRM after the release of a Clash of Kings,<ref>[[So Spake Martin]]: [https://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/Bronns_Age Bronn's Age (June 05, 1999)]</ref> meaning that Bronn in his early to mid-thirties in 299 AC. That would place his birth between {{Date|264}} and {{Date|268}}.

==Bryan Frey==
===Birth===
[[Bryan Frey]] would have been born at least one year after his older sister Walda. Walda was born the earliest in 280 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Walda Frey (daughter of Walton)|Walda Frey (daughter of Walton)]])'', meaning that the first possible year of birth for Bryan is 281 AC.

Bryan is a squire in {{Date|299}}, meaning that the youngest he could possibly have been in {{Date|299}} was eight.<ref group="N" name=Squire/> Turning eight in {{Date|299}} would place Bryan's birth in 291 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Bryan Frey was thus born in or between {{Date|281}} and {{Date|291}}.

==Bryce Caron==
===Birth===
[[Bryce Caron]]'s younger brother had been betrothed to [[Brienne of Tarth]] when Brienne was 7 years old.{{Ref|AFFC|14}} Bryce's younger brother was three years older than Brienne,{{Ref|AFFC|14}} indicating that Bryce, at least one year older than his younger brother, would have been at least four years older than Brienne. Brienne was born in {{Date|280}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Brienne of Tarth|Brienne of Tarth]])'', meaning that Bryce was born in 276 AC or before.

No further specifications can be given. Bryce was thus born in or before {{Date|276}}.

'''''Note:''' Bryce Caron is among the youthful supporters of Renly Baratheon. Catelyn Stark observes that few of these men are much older than Loras Tyrell, born 282 AC, ''(See [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Loras Tyrell|Loras Tyrell]] calculation)'' and would have been babies during Robert's Rebellion and no more than boys during Greyjoy's Rebellion. This means that, while Bryce Caron cannot have been born later than 276 AC, he was likely not born much earlier than that.''

==Bryen==
===Birth===
[[Bryen]] was at least 80 years old in {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|ASOS|68}} This places his birth in {{Date|220}} or before. No further specifications can be given.

==Bryen Caron==
===Death===
[[Bryen Caron]] died together with his wife, daughters and second son, who was 12 at the time.{{Ref|AFFC|14}} Bryen's younger son was three years older than Brienne of Tarth, who was born in {{Date|280}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Brienne of Tarth|Brienne of Tarth]])'', placing his birth in {{Date|277}}. As his son was 12 years old when all fell ill and died, and was born in {{Date|277}}, he would have been 12 in either 289 AC (11 turning 12) or 290 AC (12 turning 13), indicating that Bryen died in either 289 AC or 290 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Bryen thus died in either {{Date|289}} or {{Date|290}}.

==Brynden Blackwood==
===Birth===
[[Brynden Blackwood]] was born at least one year before his younger brother, Lucas Blackwood,{{Ref|ADWD|Appendix}} who was born no later than 283 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Lucas Blackwood|Lucas Blackwood]])''.

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

==Brynden Tully==
===Birth===
When Jaime Lannister was a squire (which he was from the age of 11 until the age of 15), he went to Riverrun. Jaime notes he was a squire “as green as summer grass”, indicating that this likely took place in one of the earlier years of his being a squire (at the age of 11, 12 or 13). At this event, Jaime met [[Brynden Tully]]. Jaime remembers that Brynden had been younger than Jaime is when remembering this (34), and Jaime himself was younger than his own squire (who is 15) is at that moment.{{Ref|AFFC|33}}

This means that Jaime was 11, 12, 13 or 14 years old, meaning that his visit to Riverrun occurred in either 277 AC, 278 AC, 279 AC, and 280 AC or 281 AC. During these years, Brynden Tully was 33 years old at the maximum, though it is possible that Brynden would be turning 34 later in the year.

If Jaime's visit to Riverrun took place in:
* 277 AC, and Brynden was 33 turning 34 that year, Brynden would have been born in 243 AC
* 278 AC, and Brynden was 33 turning 34 that year, Brynden would have been born in 244 AC
* 279 AC, and Brynden was 33 turning 34 that year, Brynden would have been born in 245 AC
* 280 AC, and Brynden was 33 turning 34 that year, Brynden would have been born in 246 AC
* 281 AC, and Brynden was 33 turning 34 that year, Brynden would have been born in 247 AC

This shows that Bryndens earliest year of birth is 243 AC. If Brynden had been any younger than 33 (to be turning 34 later that year) during Jaime's first visit to Riverrun, Brynden's birth would take place later. If the event itself took place in one of the later years, Brynden would have been born later. The year 243 AC is therefore Brynden's earliest possible year of birth.

Brynden was a young knight during the War of the Ninepenny Kings,{{Ref|AWOIAF|Brynden Tully}} in {{Date|260}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Jaehaerys II}}

Knighthood can be received from the age of 15.<ref group="N" name=Knighthood>Generally, [https://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?/topic/113885-the-wiki-timeline-project-calculations/&page=3#comment-6686954 one seems to be at least 15 years old] - though usually at least a few years older - upon receiving knighthood.</ref> This means that Brynden was at least 15 years old during the war, which took place in 261 AC the latest. Turning 15 in 260 AC would place Bryndens birth in 245 AC. If Brynden had been at least 15 years old in 260 AC, he could not have been born any earlier than 245 AC, placing his birth in 245 AC or earlier.

No further specifications can be given. Brynden was thus born in either {{Date|243}}, {{Date|244}}, or {{Date|245}}.

==Buford Bulwer==
===Birth===
[[Buford Bulwer]] was past sixty{{Ref|TMK}} in 212 AC.<ref name=SmallQuestions/>

No further specifications can be given. Buford was thus born before {{Date|152}}.

{{Alphabetized Navigation}}

==Calla Blackfyre==
===Birth===
[[Calla Blackfyre]] was at least a year younger than her elder twin brothers, Aegon and Aemon Blackfyre, who were born in 184 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Aegon Blackfyre|Aegon Blackfyre]] and [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Aemon Blackfyre|Aemon Blackfyre]])''. This means that Calla could not have been born any earlier than one year later, placing her birth no earlier than 185 AC.

By the start of the First Blackfyre Rebellion in early {{Date|196}}, Calla and at least one sister had already been born.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}} As Calla was the eldest daughter,{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}} she would have been at least one year older than her sister. As her sister had been born no later than early 196 AC, Calla could not have been born any later than one year before, in 195 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Calla was thus born in or between {{Date|185}} and {{Date|195}}.

==Cameron Tarth==
===Death===
[[Cameron Tarth]] was present at the Myrish Bloodbath in 92 AC.{{Ref|FAB|The Long Reign - Jaehaerys and Alysanne: Policy, Progeny, and Pain}} In 133 AC, Bryndemere Tarth was the Lord of Tarth,{{Ref|FAB|Under the Regents - War and Peace and Cattle Shows}} implying Cameron had died no later than 133 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Cameron thus died in or between {{Date|92}} and {{Date|133}}.

==Cassana Estermont==
===Birth===
[[Cassana Estermont]] was the mother of [[Robert Baratheon]], who was born in {{Date|262}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II}} She would have been at least twelve years old at the moment of Robert's birth, meaning that 250 AC is the latest possible year of birth for Cassana.

Following rule #5, Cassana was no older than ~52 years old at the birth of her youngest child, Renly Baratheon,{{Ref|ACOK|Appendix}} who was born in 277 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Renly Baratheon|Renly Baratheon]])''. Therefore Cassana would have been born no earlier than ~225 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Cassana was thus born in or between ~{{Date|225}} and {{Date|250}}.

'''''Note:''' Cassana married Lord Steffon Baratheon, who was born in 246 AC.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Stormlands: House Baratheon}} As one of the most prominent lords of Westeros, Steffon probably married a woman close to his age. Therefore Cassana birth year is likely closer to 250 AC than 225 AC.''

===Death===
Cassana Estermont accompanied [[Steffon Baratheon]] when he went across the Narrow Sea on the orders of King Aerys II in {{Date|278}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II}} They died on their way back. After their 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 and Cassana left on their mission in 278 AC, this means that Cassana died either in 278 AC or 279 AC.

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

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

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

Cassandra was the older sister of [[Maris Baratheon]],{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - A Son for a Son}} who was born at the latest in 117 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Maris Baratheon|Maris Baratheon]])''. As Cassandra would have been at least one year older than Maris, she was born no later than 116 AC.

In {{Date|129}}, her father stated that even though Cassandra was his eldest daughter she had not [[Flowering|flowered]] yet, girls generally have their first period between 11 and 18 years of age thus Cassandra is unlikely to have been born earlier than 111 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Cassandra was thus born in or between {{Date|111}} and {{Date|116}}.

==Catelyn Tully==
===Birth===
[[Catelyn Stark|Catelyn Tully]] is two years older than her sister, Lysa Tully.{{Ref|AGOT|34}} At one point, Catelyn described a memory, during which she herself was no older than Sansa (who was 12 at that time), Lysa younger than Arya (who was 9, soon to turn 10) and Petyr Baelish even younger still.{{Ref|AGOT|71}} This indicates that Petyr was younger than Lysa by at least one year (otherwise, it would have stated that Petyr was the same age as Lysa had been at that point in time).

Sansa and Arya are two years apart in age.{{Ref|AGOT|5}}{{Ref|AGOT|7}}{{Ref|AGOT|15}} However, looking at the moment during the year their namedays take place, it is clear that Arya's nameday falls early in the year, while Sansa's nameday falls at the end of the year. So even though they were born three calendar years apart, they actually only differ two years and a few months in age, which is then rounded to two years when people are talking about it.

Looking at Catelyn's memory, she states there that she and Lysa are further apart in age than Sansa and Arya, yet she and Lysa still qualify as being two years apart in age. So Catelyn and Lysa differ nearly two and a half years in age. Petyr was "younger still" during the memory, meaning he was at least one year younger than Lysa (otherwise they would have had the 'same age'). So between Catelyn and Petyr seems to be at least three years in age.

Petyr was born in {{Date|268}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Petyr Baelish|Petyr Baelish]])'', and if Catelyn is at least three years older, that would place her birth no later than in 265 AC.

Amarei Crakehall died before Catelyn Tully was born.{{Ref|AGOT|59}} Amarei's son Merrett was born in {{Date|262}} ''(See [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Merrett Frey|Merrett Frey]])''. Amarei had two younger sons after Merrett, meaning that Amarei could not have died before 264 AC. As Catelyn could only have been born after Amarei's death, Catelyn cannot have been born before 264 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Catelyn Tully was thus born in either {{Date|264}} or {{Date|265}}.

===Death===
Catelyn dies during the Red Wedding,{{Ref|ASOS|51}} the news of which arrives at King's Landing before Joffrey's wedding,{{Ref|ASOS|53}} which will take place on the first day of {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|ASOS|4}} The Red Wedding has thus occurred in 299 AC, meaning that Catelyn died in {{Date|299}}.

==Cerelle Lannister (daughter of Jason)==
===Birth===
[[Cerelle Lannister (daughter of Jason)|Cerelle Lannister]] was one of the maidens presented to King Aegon III Targaryen during the Maiden's Day Ball in {{Date|133}}.{{Ref|FAB|Under the Regents - War and Peace and Cattle Shows}} As the maidens had 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.

Cerelle's father, Jason Lannister, departed from Casterly Rock in {{Date|129}} to fight in the Dance of the Dragons and died in battle in {{Date|130}},{{Ref|TPATQ}} meaning Cerelle could not have been conceived any later than 130 AC, and therefore that she could not have been born any later than 131 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Cerelle was thus born in or between {{Date|103}} and {{Date|131}}.

'''''Note:''' While women can be married at a [[Marriage#Age at marriage|very young age]], it is usually the case that women are closer to the age of majority. Cerelle is described as a "maiden of noble birth and marriageable age" in 133 AC,{{Ref|FAB|Under the Regents - War and Peace and Cattle Shows}} suggesting that she was probably closer to the age of majority or even older in 133 AC.''

==Cerelle Lannister (daughter of Tybolt)==
===Birth===
[[Cerelle Lannister (daughter of Tybolt)|Cerelle Lannister]] was three years old in {{Date|212}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Westerlands: House Lannister Under the Dragons}} As the source for her age concerns a historical work, rule #3 applies, placing Cerelle's birth in {{Date|209}}.

===Death===
[[Cerelle Lannister (daughter of Tybolt)|Cerelle Lannister]] became Lady of Casterly Rock in {{Date|212}}, after her father Tybolt died. She died less than a year later, after which the seat was inherited by her uncle, Gerold.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Westerlands: House Lannister Under the Dragons}} Gerold ruled for thirty-one years, and died in {{Date|244}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Westerlands: House Lannister Under the Dragons}} This places Cerelle's death in {{Date|213}}.

[[Cerissa Brax]]'s eldest son, Tybolt Lannister,{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Lannister Lineage}} was born no later than 194 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Tybolt Lannister|Tybolt Lannister]])''. Cerissa would have been at least twelve years old at the moment of Tybolt's birth, indicating that {{Date|182}} is the last possible year of birth for Cerissa.

No further specifications can be given. Cerissa was thus born in or before {{Date|182}}.

==Cerrick==
===Birth===
[[Cerrick]] was older than Ser [[Duncan the Tall]].{{Ref|TSS}} Since Ser Duncan was born in {{Date|193}} ''(See [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Duncan the Tall|Duncan the Tall]])'', Cerrick must have been born before {{Date|193}}.

No further specifications can be given. Cerrick was thus born before {{Date|193}}.

'''''Note:''' Dunk judges that Cerrick could not have been much older than himself, meaning he would have been born in the years leading up to 193.''

==Cersei Frey==
===Birth===
[[Cersei Frey]] has been mentioned to have been six years old in {{Date|299}}.{{Ref|ACOK|Appendix}} This gives the following options:
* 5 turning 6 in 299 AC, placing her birth in 293 AC

===Birth===
[[Ceryse Hightower]] was ten years older than [[Maegor I Targaryen]],{{Ref|FAB|The Sons of the Dragon}} who was born in 12 AC.{{Ref|FAB|The Sons of the Dragon}} As the source for both Maegor and Ceryse's ages concerns a historical work, rule #3 applies, placing her birth in {{Date|2}}.

No further specifications can be given. Clement was thus born in either {{Date|251}} or {{Date|252}}.

==Cleos Frey==
===Birth===
[[Cleos Frey]] is the eldest son of Emmon Frey and Genna Lannister. Both Emmon and Genna would have been at least twelve years old at the time of his birth. Emmon was born in either 237 AC or 238 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Emmon Frey|Emmon Frey]])'', Genna was born in 245 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Genna Lannister|Genna Lannister]])''. As Genna is younger than her husband Emmon, her age is used to determine the minimum.

With Genna having been born in 245 AC, and with her having been at least twelve years old when Cleos was born, Cleos was born no earlier than twelve years after 245 AC, making 257 AC the first possible year of birth for Cleos.

Cleos's eldest son Tywin was born no later than 288 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Tywin Frey|Tywin Frey]])''. Cleos would have been at least twelve years old when Tywin was born, meaning that Cleos was born no later than twelve years prior to 288 AC, making the year 276 AC the last possible year of birth for Cleos.

Coryanne is known to have been born by 132 AC.{{Ref|FAB|Under the Regents - The Voyage of Alyn Oakenfist}}

No further specifications can be given. Coryanne was thus born in or between {{Date|116}} and {{Date|132}}.

==Cregan Karstark==
===Birth===
[[Cregan Karstark]] is past fifty in {{Date|300}},{{Ref|ADWD|49}} placing his birth no later than 249 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Cregan was thus born in or before {{Date|249}}.

==Cregan Stark==
===Birth===
[[Cregan Stark]] was thirteen years old in {{Date|121}} and was twenty-one years old in {{Date|129}}.{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - A Son for a Son}} As the source for his age concerns a historical work, following rule #3, Cregan was thus born in {{Date|108}}.

Furthermore, Cregan is known to have turned sixteen in {{Date|124}},{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - A Son for a Son}} thereby confirming Cregan's birth in {{Date|108}}.

===Death===
[[Cregan Stark]]'s son Rickon died in one of the final battles during the Conquest of Dorne. This battle occurred in either 157 AC or 158 AC. Rickon is named Cregan's heir at this point in history, indicating that Cregan still ruled Winterfell. Thus, Cregan died in 157 AC or after.
Moreover, Cregan was succeeded as Lord of Winterfell by his second son, [[Jonnel Stark]], who died at the latest in 209 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Jonnel Stark|Jonnel Stark]])''. Cregan could have technically died the same year as Jonnel but not after, meaning that 209 AC is the lastest possible year of death for Cregan.

No further specifications can be given. Cregan thus died in or between {{Date|157}} and {{Date|209}}.

==Creighton Longbough==
===Birth===
[[Creighton Longbough]] was in his fifties{{Ref|AWOIAF|Creighton Longbough}} in 300 AC.{{Ref|AFFC|4}} That means in 300 AC he was 51 years old at the youngest, and 59 years old at the latest, though it is possible he would be turning 60 later in the year. That gives him the following options:
* 50 turning 51 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 249 AC
* 51 turning 52 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 248 AC
* 52 turning 53 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 247 AC

* 79 turning 80 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 220 AC
* 79 turning 80 in 299 AC, placing his birth in 219 AC

No further specifications can be given. Cressen was thus born in either {{Date|219}} or {{Date|220}}.

Cressen thus died in {{Date|299}}.

==Culiper==
===Birth===
[[Culiper]] was described as a man of eighty years in {{Date|50}},{{Ref|FAB|A Surfeit of Rulers}} but was said to have been closer to ninety than to eighty when he died in {{Date|54}}.{{Ref|FAB|Birth, Death, and Betrayal Under King Jaehaerys I}} This indicates he was no younger than eighty-five, and no older than eighty-nine, although it is possible he would have turned ninety later that year. As such, Culiper has the following options:
* turned 85 in 54 AC, placing his birth in 31 BC
* 85 turning 86 in 54 AC, placing his birth in 32 BC
* 86 turning 86 in 54 AC, placing his birth in 33 BC

==Cynthea Frey==
===Birth===
[[Cynthea Frey]] has been mentioned to have been 9 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 she was 8 turning 9 in 299 AC, and 9 turning 10 in 300 AC, placing her birth in 290 AC.

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

==Cyrenna Swann==
===Birth===
[[Cyrenna Swann]] gave birth to her first born child, Jared, in 249 AC the latest ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Jared Frey|Jared Frey]])''. With her firstborn child born in 249 AC the latest, and with Cyrenna having been at least twelve years old when her eldest child was born, Cyrenna cannot have been born any later than twelve years prior to 249 AC, in 237 AC.

Following rule #5, Cyrenna was no older than ~52 years old at the birth of her youngest child, Luceon Frey,{{Ref|ACOK|Appendix}} who was born in or between 248 and 258 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Luceon Frey|Luceon Frey]])''. Therefore Cyrenna would have been born no earlier than ~196 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Cyrenna was thus born in or between ~{{Date|196}} and {{Date|237}}.

===Death===
[[Cyrenna Swann]] was the second wife of Walder Frey. Walder's eldest child by his third wife, Hosteen, was born no later than 258 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Hosteen Frey|Hosteen Frey]])''. That means that Hosteen was conceived no later than 258 AC, and thus that Walder married his third wife no later than 258 AC. This means that Cyrenna could have died no later than 258 AC.

Cyrenna's youngest son, Luceon, was born in 248 AC the earliest ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Luceon Frey|Luceon Frey]])'', meaning that 248 AC is the first possible year in which Cyrenna could have died.

No further specifications can be given. Cyrenna thus died in or between {{Date|248}} and {{Date|258}}.

{{Alphabetized Navigation}}

==Daario Naharis==
===Birth===
[[Daario Naharis]] deems Quentyn Martell unfit as a husband to [[Daenerys Targaryen]] on account of being "a pup" and "a mewling boy," instead saying she needs a man beside her.{{Ref|ADWD|43}} This exchange indicates he is older than Quentyn. Since Quentyn was born in {{Date|281}} ''(See the [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Quentyn Martell|Quentyn Martell]] calculation.)'', the latest Daario could have been born in {{Date|280}}

No further specifications can be given. Daario Naharis was thus born in or before {{Date|280}}.

'''''Note:''' Daario's comments to Quentyn seem to indicate a greater age difference than a single year, but it is unclear how great a difference this is.''

==Dacey Mormont==
===Birth===
[[Dacey Mormont]] was born at least one year before her sister Alysane. Alysane was born in {{Date|278}} the latest ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Alysane Mormont|Alysane Mormont]])''. This means that Dacey was born in 277 AC the latest.

Dacey's mother Maege would have been at least twelve years old when Dacey was born. Maege Mormont was born the earliest in {{Date|239}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Maege Mormont|Maege Mormont]])'', meaning that Dacey could have been born the earliest in 251 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Dacey Mormont was thus born in or between {{Date|251}} and {{Date|277}}.

'''''Note:''' It seems most likely though, considering the ages of Maege's other children, that Dacey was born close to 277 AC.''

==Daella Targaryen (daughter of Maekar I)==
===Birth===
[[Daella Targaryen (daughter of Maekar I)|Daella Targaryen]] was at least one year younger than her brother Aemon, but at least one year older than her brother Aegon. As Aemon was born in {{Date|198}},{{Ref|AWOIAF|Aemon}} and Aegon in {{Date|200}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Aegon V Targaryen|Aegon V Targaryen]])'', Daella would have been born in 199 AC.

Daella was thus born in {{Date|199}}.

==Daemion Targaryen==
===Birth===
[[Daemion Targaryen]] had one child, [[Aerion Targaryen (son of Daemion)|Aerion Targaryen]],{{Ref|FAB|Aegon's Conquest}} who was born no later than 41 BC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Aerion Targaryen (son of Daemion)|Aerion Targaryen (son of Daemion)]])''.

Daemion Targaryen would have been at least one year younger than his older brother, [[Baelon Targaryen (son of Aerys)|Baelon Targaryen]].{{Ref|FAB|Aegon's Conquest}} As the earliest possible year of birth for Baelon is 88 BC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Baelon Targaryen (son of Aerys)|Baelon Targaryen (son of Aerys)]])'', Daemion would have been born no earlier than 87 BC.

No further specifications can be given. Daemion was thus born in or between {{Date|-87}} and {{Date|-53}}.

==Daemon II Blackfyre==
===Birth===
[[Daemon II Blackfyre|Daemon Blackfyre]] was seven years old in 196 AC, and twenty-two in 212 AC.{{Ref|TMK}}
Being seven years old in 196 AC gives the following options:
* 6 turning 7 in 196 AC, placing his birth in 189 AC
* 7 turning 8 in 196 AC, placing his birth in 188 AC

Being twenty-two in 212 AC gives the following options:
* 21 turning 22 in 212 AC, placing his birth in 190 AC
* 22 turning 23 in 212 AC, placing his birth in 189 AC

The only overlapping year is 189 AC. Daemon was thus born in {{Date|189}}.

===Death===
[[Daemon II Blackfyre]] was captured after his rebellion failed in {{Date|212}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys I}} He was kept alive, as this would prevent Aegor Rivers from crowning his brother Haegon the new Blackfyre Pretender. Haegon was crowned such eventually, and began his own rebellion in {{Date|219}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys I}} Since Haegon was able to launch his own rebellion, Daemon will have died before, making Haegon the new Pretender.

No further specifications can be given. Daemon thus died in or between {{Date|212}} and {{Date|219}}.

==Daemon III Blackfyre==
===Birth===
[[Daemon III Blackfyre|Daemon Blackfyre]] was the eldest son of Haegon I Blackfyre,{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}} who was born in 190 AC the earliest ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Haegon I Blackfyre|Haegon I Blackfyre]])''. Haegon would have been at least twelve years old when his first child was born, meaning that Daemon III was born no earlier than 202 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Daemon was thus born in {{Date|202}} or after.

==Daemon Blackfyre (cousin of Maelys I)==
===Death===
[[Daemon Blackfyre (cousin of Maelys I)|Daemon Blackfyre]] was killed by his cousin, Maelys Blackfyre, when they fought for the command of the Golden Company.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Jaehaerys II}} As Maelys is known to have been the captain-general of the company by 258 AC,{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon V}} Daemon could not have died no later than 258 AC.

After the death of the Company's founder and first captain-general, Ser Aegor Rivers, in 241 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Aegor Rivers|Aegor Rivers]])'', the command of the Company was held only by Blackfyres up until Daemon and Maelys.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}} Therefore, Daemon could have died no earlier than 241 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Daemon thus died in or between {{Date|241}} and {{Date|258}}.

==Daemon Sand==
===Birth===
[[Daemon Sand]] was 14 years old when Arianne Martell was 14 years old.{{Ref|AFFC|13}} Arianne Martell was born in {{Date|276}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Arianne Martell|Arianne Martell]])''. She would have been 14 years old in 290 AC (13 turning 14) and 291 AC (14 turning 15).
So Daemon was 14 years old in either 290 AC or 291 AC. That gives him the following options:
* 13 turning 14 in 290 AC, placing his birth in 276 AC
* 14 turning 15 in 290 AC, placing his birth in 275 AC
* 13 turning 14 in 291 AC, placing his birth in 277 AC
* 14 turning 15 in 291 AC, placing his birth in 276 AC

Daemon is known to be older than Arianne, though not by much.<ref name="ArianneI"/> As Arianne Martell was born in {{Date|276}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Arianne Martell|Arianne Martell]])'', Daemon will have been born either the same year, or before, eliminating 277 AC as a possibility.

No further specification can be given. Daemon was thus born in either {{Date|275}} or {{Date|276}}.

==Daemon Velaryon==
===Birth===
[[Daemon Velaryon]]'s eldest son, Aethan,{{Ref|FAB|The Year of the Three Brides - 49 AC}} has been born no later than 11 BC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Aethan Velaryon|Aethan Velaryon]])''. Daemon would have been at least twelve years old at the moment of Aethan's birth, meaning that he could not have been born any later than 23 BC.

No further specifications can be given. Daemon was thus born in or before {{Date|-23}}.

==Daemon Velaryon (son of Aethan)==
===Birth===
[[Daemon Velaryon (son of Aethan)|Daemon Velaryon]] died at the age of eighty-eight in or between {{Date|77}} and {{Date|89}}.{{Ref|FAB|Heirs of the Dragon - A Question of Succession}}

No further specifications can be given. Daemon thus died in or between {{Date|77}} and {{Date|89}}.

==Daena Targaryen==
===Birth===
[[Daena Targaryen]] was the third born child of King Aegon III and Queen Daenaera.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Targaryen Lineage}} She was thus at least one year younger than her brother Baelor, who was born in {{Date|144}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Baelor I Targaryen|Baelor I Targaryen]])'', placing her birth no earlier than {{Date|145}}.

Daena was sixteen years old when Baelor ascended the throne in {{Date|161}}.<ref>[[So Spake Martin]]: [https://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/Three_Maidens_in_the_Tower Three Maidens in the Tower (June 27, 2006)]</ref> As this would concern more of a historical work reference, Daena thus turned sixteen the year Baelor ascended the throne, and thus, was born in 145 AC.

Daena Targaryen was thus born in {{Date|145}}.

===Death===
[[Daena Targaryen]] refused to name the father of her son, [[Daemon I Blackfyre|Daemon Waters]], for "many years,"{{Ref|AWOIAF|Daena Targaryen}} meaning she lived at least two years past his birth, which was in {{Date|170}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}} Daena therefore died in or after {{Date|172}}.

No further specifications can be given. Daena thus died in {{Date|172}} or after.

'''''Note:''' Daena had a much shorter life than her little sister, [[Elaena Targaryen]], who is known to have lived at least to the age of 70.<ref>[https://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/Three_Maidens_in_the_Tower Three Maidens in the Tower]</ref>

==Daenaera Velaryon==
===Birth===
[[Daenaera Velaryon]] was six years old in {{Date|133}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon III}} As the source for her age concerns a historical work, rule #3 applies, meaning that Daenaera was born in {{Date|127}}.

===Death===
Daenaera Velaryon's youngest child, Princess [[Elaena Targaryen]], was born in {{Date|150}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Elaena Targaryen|Elaena Targaryen]])''.

No further specifications can be given. Daenaera thus died in {{Date|150}} or after.

==Daenerys Targaryen==
===Birth===
[[Daenerys Targaryen]] is mentioned to be fourteen years old by Eddard Stark in {{Date|298}}.{{Ref|AGOT|35}} This leaves the following possibilities:
* 13 turning 14 in 298 AC, placing her birth in 284 AC
* 14 turning 15 in 298 AC, placing her birth in 283 AC

In addition, it is known that Daenerys learns she is pregnant on her fourteenth nameday.{{Ref|AGOT|23}} Daenerys's pregnancy is discussed on two occasions in King's Landing, after the Tourney of the Hand has ended. The Tournament of the Hand of the King occurs at least six months into {{Date|298}}, if not more, giving an indication, but not specifying that Daenerys turned 14 in 298 AC.

When Daenerys is following the comet, she mentions she is still fourteen years old.{{Ref|ACOK|12}} The comet has appeared in the sky in {{Date|299}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Events#298 AC to 299 AC|298 AC to 299 AC]])''.{{Ref|AGOT|66}} This means that Daenerys has been mentioned to have been fourteen years old in both 298 AC and in 299 AC, eliminating 283 AC as Daenerys's possible birth year, leaving only the option 284 AC.

Daenerys was thus born in {{Date|284}}.

==Daenerys Targaryen (daughter of Aegon IV)==
===Birth===
Daenerys was born in or after {{Date|172}}, as the ''World of Ice & Fire'' states she was born after her father [[Aegon IV Targaryen]]'s ascension to the throne in that year.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV: The nine mistresses of Aegon IV, the Unworthy}} Further focus is found by the fact that Daenerys is stated to be two years younger than Daemon Blackfyre,{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}} who was born in 170 AC.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}} That places Daenerys's birth in 172 AC.

Daenerys was thus born in {{Date|172}}.

==Daenora Targaryen==
===Birth===
[[Daenora Targaryen]]'s elder siblings were born no earlier than {{Date|195}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Aelor Targaryen|Aelor Targaryen]] and [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Aelora Targaryen|Aelora Targaryen]])'', indicating that Daenora could not have been born any earlier than one year later, in {{Date|196}}.

In {{Date|215}}, Daenora's father, Prince Rhaegel, died,{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys I}} indicating that Daenora could not have been born any later than 216 AC, nine months after Rhaegel's death.

No further specifications can be given. Daenora was thus born in or between {{Date|196}} and {{Date|216}}.

'''''Note:''' Daenora is the only child of Prince Rhaegel not mentioned in the novella ''[[The Mystery Knight]]'', set in {{Date|212}}. It may indicate that Daenora was born no earlier than 212 AC herself.''

===Death===
Daenora's only son, Prince [[Maegor Targaryen (son of Aerion)|Maegor Targaryen]] was born in {{Date|232}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Maekar I}}

No further specifications can be given. Daenora thus died in {{Date|232}} or after.

'''''Note:''' Although if alive she would have been the only surviving child of Prince [[Rhaegel Targaryen]], Daenora has not been mentioned in relation to the [[Great Council of 233 AC]] as a possible claimant to the throne. This may suggest she was already deceased by this point, although it could also be because Daenora's claim had already been disregarded years before in favor of her uncle, King [[Maekar I Targaryen]], for unspecified reasons.''

==Daenys Targaryen==
===Birth===
[[Daenys Targaryen]] and her brother [[Gaemon Targaryen (son of Aenar)|Gaemon]] were taken to [[Dragonstone]] by their father, [[Aenar Targaryen|Aenar]], when he fled [[Valyria]] in 114 BC.{{Ref|FAB|Aegon's Conquest}} Aenar's exile was motivated by a vision foretelling the destruction of Valyria that Daenys had when she was a maiden, meaning that Daenys was born no later than 12 years prior, in 126 BC.

No further specifications can be given. Daenys was thus born in or before {{Date|-126}}.

===Death===
[[Daenys Targaryen]], her brother [[Gaemon Targaryen (son of Aenar)|Gaemon]] and their father [[Aenar Targaryen|Aenar]] were still alive when the [[Doom of Valyria]] occurred in 102 BC.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Ancient History: The Doom of Valyria}} Gaemon and Daenys ruled together Dragonstone as lord and lady after their father's death.

==Daeron I Targaryen==
===Birth===
[[Daeron I Targaryen|Daeron Targaryen]] was fourteen years old when he came into his throne in 157 AC.{{Ref|AGOT|14}}{{Ref|AGOT|Appendix}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron I}} Being 14 in 157 AC leaves the following possibilities:
* 13 turning 14 in 157 AC, placing his birth in 143 AC
* 14 turning 15 in 157 AC, placing his birth in 142 AC

It is also known that Daeron was eighteen years old when he died in 161 AC, which gives the same possibilities as above.{{Ref|AGOT|5}}{{Ref|AGOT|Appendix}}

As it is the work of Maester Yandel which stated that Daeron was fourteen when he ascended the throne in {{Date|157}},{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron I}} rule #3 applies, eliminating the option of 142 AC, thereby placing Daeron's birth in 143 AC.

Daeron was thus born in {{Date|143}}.

==Daeron Targaryen (son of Aegon V)==
===Birth===
[[Daeron Targaryen (son of Aegon V)|Daeron Targaryen]] was nine years old when he was betrothed to Olenna Redwyne in 237 AC. He was 18 years old in 246 AC, when he broke the betrothal.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon V}} On both occasions, rule #3 applies, placing Daeron's birth in {{Date|228}}.

==Daeron Targaryen (son of Aerys II)==
===Death===
[[Daeron Targaryen (son of Aerys II)|Daeron Targaryen]] was born in {{Date|269}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II}} He lived for only half a year,{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II}} placing his death in either 269 AC, if he was born early in the year, or 270 AC, if he was born later in the year.

No further specifications can be given. Daeron thus died in either {{Date|269}} or {{Date|270}}.

==Daeron Targaryen (son of Maekar I)==
===Birth===
[[Daeron Targaryen (son of Maekar I)|Daeron Targaryen]] was eighteen years old in 209 AC.{{Ref|THK}} This gives him the following options:
* 17 turning 18 in 209 AC, placing his birth in 191 AC
* 18 turning 19 in 209 AC, placing his birth in 190 AC

No further specifications can be given. Daeron was thus born in either {{Date|190}} or {{Date|191}}.

===Death===
[[Daeron Targaryen (son of Maekar I)|Daeron Targaryen]]'s daughter Vaella was born in {{Date|222}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Maekar I}} That means that Daeron had been alive at least until 221 AC, as Vaella's conception occurred nine months before her birth, and as it is unknown when Vaella's birth occurred in the year, it is possible that the year had turned between conception and birth. This makes 221 AC Daeron's first possible year of death.

Daeron predeceased his father Maekar, who died in 233 AC.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Maekar I}}{{Ref|AGOT|Appendix}} That means that Daeron could have died as late as 233 AC, only earlier in the year than his father.

No further specifications can be given. Daeron thus died in or between {{Date|221}} and {{Date|233}}.

==Daeron Velaryon==
===Birth===
[[Daeron Velaryon]] was the grandson of Corlys Velaryon's younger brother.{{Ref|FAB|Under the Regents - The Hooded Hand}} Since Corlys was born in {{Date|53}},{{Ref|FAB|The Long Reign - Jaehaerys and Alysanne: Policy, Progeny, and Pain}} Daeron's grandfather could not have been born any earlier than {{Date|54}}. As he would have been at least twenty-four years old at the moment of Daeron's birth, Daeron could not have been born any earlier than 78 AC.

Daeron's daughter Daenaera{{Ref|FAB|Under the Regents - War and Peace and Cattle Shows}} was born in {{Date|127}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Daenaera Velaryon|Daenaera Velaryon]])''. Daeron would have been at least twelve years old at her birth, meaning he could not have been born any later than 115 AC.

[[Dagon Greyjoy]] was alive in 212 AC.{{Ref|TMK}} His grandson, Quellon Greyjoy, is known to have been the Lord of the Iron Islands by 259 AC,<ref name=Westerlands/> demonstrating that Dagon died no later than 259 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Dagon thus died in or between {{Date|212}} and {{Date|259}}.

'''''Note:''' According to Dagon's great-grandson, Victarion, Dagon last sat in the Seastone Chair "almost a hundred years" before the events of A Song of Ice and Fire, while "a weak king sat the Iron Throne, his rheumy eyes fixed across the narrow sea where bastards and exiles plotted rebellion".{{Ref|ADWD|63}} Dagon thus died closer to 212 AC than 259 AC, presumably not beyond {{Date|221}}, when King [[Aerys I Targaryen]] died.''

==Dalbridge==
===Birth===
[[Dalbridge]] had been the squire for King Jaehaerys II.{{Ref|AWOIAF|Dalbridge}} Jaehaerys reigned from 259 AC until 262 AC.{{Ref|AGOT|Appendix}} This means that Dalbridge had been a squire to Jaehaerys in 262 AC the latest. With the minimum age of 8 for squires,<ref group="N" name=Squire/> Dalbridge had been at least 8 years old in 262 AC. This is the absolute youngest that Dalbridge could have been, showing that the absolute latest year in which he could have been born was 254 AC (8 years prior to 262 AC).

No further specifications can be given. Dalbridge was thus born in or before {{Date|254}}.

==Dalton Greyjoy==
===Birth===
[[Dalton Greyjoy]] was sixteen years old in 129 AC.{{Ref|TPATQ}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Iron Islands: The Red Kraken}} That gives him the following options:
* 15 turning 16 in 129 AC, placing his birth in 113 AC
* 16 turning 17 in 129 AC, placing his birth in 112 AC

As the sources for this information are the historical works of Maesters Yandel and Gyldyan, rule #3 applies, and the option 112 AC is eliminated.

Dalton was thus born in {{Date|113}}.

==Damion Lannister==
===Birth===
[[Damion Lannister]] was the son of Damon Lannister. Damon was born in either 244 AC or 245 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Damon Lannister (son of Jason)|Damon Lannister (son of Jason)]])''. Damon would have been at least twelve years old at Damion's birth, showing that Damion's first possible year of birth is 256 AC.

Damion would have been at least thirteen years old at the birth of his second born child, Lanna.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Lannister Lineage}} Lanna's last possible year of birth in 286 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Lanna Lannister|Lanna Lannister]])'', showing that Damion was born no later than 273 AC.

No further specification can be given. Damion was thus born in or between {{Date|256}} and {{Date|273}}.

==Damon Lannister (lord)==
===Birth===
[[Damon Lannister (lord)|Damon Lannister]]'s eldest son, [[Tybolt Lannister]], was born at the latest in 194 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Tybolt Lannister|Tybolt Lannister]])''. Damon would have been at least twelve years old at the moment of Tybolt's birth, meaning he could not have been born after {{Date|182}}

During his participation in a tourney which took place "many years before" {{Date|196}}, Damon had already been knighted.{{Ref|THK}} Although it is unclear when the tourney took place, it would have taken place at least two years before 196 AC, placing Damon's tourney no later than {{Date|194}}. As Damon had already had been knighted at the time, he would have been at least fifteen years old by 194 AC, placing his birth no later than 179 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Damon was thus born in or before {{Date|179}}.

''Note: Damon was known as the Grey Lion due to his age by 209 AC. This would put his birth way before 179 AC.''

==Damon Lannister (son of Jason)==
===Birth===
[[Damon Lannister (son of Jason)|Damon Lannister]] was the eldest trueborn child of Jason Lannister. According to semi-canon sources,<ref name=ConCarolinas>[[So Spake Martin]]: [https://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/ConCarolinas_Reading ConCarolinas Reading (June 02, 2014)]</ref> Jason was married to Damons mother, Alys Stackspear, at the age of 15. Jason was born in {{Date|229}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Jason Lannister (son of Gerold)|Jason Lannister (son of Gerold)]])'', and as the source for Jason's age at the time of marriage concerns a historical work, rule #3 applies, placing the wedding in {{Date|244}}. As Alys was already pregnant with Jason's child at the time of their wedding,<ref name=ConCarolinas/> Damon was born within nine months of the wedding, thus either in 244 AC, the same year as the marriage, or 245 AC, the next year (if the conception had occurred less than nine months before the turning of the year).

No further specifications can be given. Damon was thus born in either {{Date|244}} or {{Date|245}}.

==Damon Vypren==
===Birth===
[[Damon Vypren]] is at least one year younger than his older sister, Elyana. Elyana was born in 262 AC the earliest ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Elyana Vypren|Elyana Vypren]])'', meaning that Damon was born in 263 AC the earliest.

In {{Date|299}}, Damon is known to have been a knight,{{Ref|ASOS|49}} indicating he was fifteen years or older at the time. Being fifteen years old or older in 299 AC places his birth no later than 284 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Damon was thus born in or between {{Date|263}} and {{Date|284}}.

==Dancer==
===Birth===
[[Dancer]], the horse, was two years old in {{Date|298}}.{{Ref|AGOT|37}} This gives Dancer two options:
* 1 turning 2, placing her birth in 296 AC
* 2 turning 3, placing her birth in 295 AC

No further specifications can be given. Dancer was thus born in either {{Date|295}} or {{Date|296}}.

==Danwell Frey==
===Birth===
[[Danwell Frey]] is younger than his brother Symond by at least one year. Symond was born the earliest in 251 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Symond Frey|Symond Frey]])'', meaning that Danwells earliest possible year of birth is 252 AC.

Danwell is older than his younger brother Merrett by at least one year. Merrett was born in 262 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Merrett Frey|Merrett Frey]])'', meaning that Danwell cannot have been born any later than 261 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Danwell was thus born in or between {{Date|252}} and {{Date|261}}.

==Darlessa Marbrand==
===Birth===
[[Darlessa Marbrand]]'s only child, [[Tyrek Lannister]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Lannister Lineage}} was born in 286 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Tyrek Lannister|Tyrek Lannister]])''. Darlessa would have been at least 12 years old at the birth, so she was born no later than {{Date|274}}.

==Darnold Arryn==
===Birth===
[[Darnold Arryn]] was the older brother of Rymond Arryn,{{Ref|FAB|Birth, Death, and Betrayal Under King Jaehaerys I}} who was born no later than {{Date|32}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Rymond Arryn|Rymond Arryn]])''. As Darnold would have been at least one year older than his brother, Darnold was born no later than 31 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Darnold was thus born in or before {{Date|31}}.

==Daven Lannister==
===Birth===
[[Daven Lannister]] mentions in 300 AC that Kevan Lannister, born in {{Date|244}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Kevan Lannister|Kevan Lannister]])'', is twice his age.{{Ref|AFFC|33}} This would place Daven's birth roughly around {{Date|272}}.

==Davos Seaworth==
===Birth===
[[Davos Seaworth]] is known to have been sailing for forty years.{{Ref|ACOK|58}} It is unknown whether or not this includes Davos's time as a sailor, or whether or not this is only referring to Davos's time as a captain. Though Davos will not have been sailing since his birth, it is unknown how old he was when he started sailing. This means we can only give an absolute minimum for an indication of Davos's age, placing his birth absolutely no later than {{Date|260}}, though it seems certain and logical that Davos was born at least a few years earlier.

==Del==
===Birth===
[[Del]] is around the age of Jon Snow, who is born in {{Date|283}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Jon Snow|Jon Snow]])''.{{Ref|ASOS|41}} That places his birth roughly around {{Date|283}}.

==Delena Florent==
===Birth===
[[Delena Florent]]'s first son, [[Edric Storm]] was born in 287 AC ''(See [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Edric Storm|Edric Storm]])''. Delena would have been at least twelve years old at his birth, meaning she was born no later than {{Date|275}}.

Delena's youngest son, Renly Norcross, was born in 297 at the latest ''(See [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Renly Norcross|Renly Norcross]])''. Following rule #5, Delena would be no older than ~52 at the birth of her youngest child, meaning that the earliest possible year of birth for Delena is ~245 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Delena was thus born between ~{{Date|245}} and {{Date|275}}.

'''''Note:''' Delena was a maiden when Robert took her,{{Ref|ACOK|10}}{{Ref|ASOS|19}} suggesting her birth year is nearer to 275 than otherwise, though how near is unclear.''

==Della Frey==
===Birth===
[[Della Frey]] is mentioned to be three years old both {{Date|299}} and {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|ACOK|Appendix}}{{Ref|AFFC|Appendix}} Being 3 years old in both 299 AC and 300 AC means Della was 2 turning 3 in 299 AC, and 3 turning 4 in 300 AC, placing her birth in {{Date|296}}.

==Delonne Allyrion==
===Birth===
[[Delonne Allyrion]] is the mother of Ser Ryon Allyrion,{{Ref|AFFC|Appendix}} who was born at the latest in 264 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Ryon Allyrion|Ryon Allyrion]])''. Delonne would have been at least twelve years old at the moment of Ryon's birth, meaning that she could not have been born any later than 252 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Delonne was thus born in or before {{Date|252}}.

==Denyo Terys==
===Birth===
[[Denyo Terys]] is known to have been twelve years old in {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|AFFC|6}} This gives the following options:
* 11 turning 12 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 288 AC
* 12 turning 13 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 287 AC

No further specifications can be given. Denyo was thus born in either {{Date|287}} or {{Date|288}}.

==Denys Mallister==
===Birth===
[[Denys Mallister]] is described as old in {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|ASOS|78}} He has been Lord Commander of the Shadow Tower for thirty-three years in 300 AC.{{Ref|ASOS|78}} It is also known that he was twenty-two years old when he was a champion.{{Ref|ASOS|78}} That would have occurred before Denys joined the Night's Watch, which would give Denys the minimum age of 55 in 300 AC, placing his birth as occurring no later than 245 AC.

Denys Mallister is younger than Jeor Mormont.{{Ref|ASOS|79}} As Jeor was born in 230 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Jeor Mormont|Jeor Mormont]])'', Denys had been born no earlier than one year later, meaning that Denys could not have been born before 231 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Denys was thus born in or between {{Date|231}} and {{Date|245}}.

'''''Note:''' In early {{Date|300}}, [[Cotter Pyke]] derisively alludes to [[Denys Mallister]] unhorsing men in tourneys fifty years ago,{{Ref|ASOS|78}} which would suggest he is born nearer to {{Date|231}} than otherwise.''

==Denys Marbrand==
===Birth===
[[Denys Marbrand]] was a [[knight]] at the [[tourney at Ashford Meadow]] in {{date|209}}, according to a semi-canon source.{{Ref|THK|[[The Hedge Knight (comics)|Graphic Novel]], 2nd edition, [[List of characters and arms in The Hedge Knight graphic novel collection|Roll of Arms]]}} As a man must be at least fifteen years old when becoming a knight, that would give Denys the minimum age of 15 in 209 AC, placing his birth as occurring no later than 194 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Denys was thus born in or before {{Date|194}}.

==Deria Martell==
===Birth===
[[Deria Martell]] was the daughter of Nymor Martell,{{Ref|TWOIAF|Dorne: Dorne Against the Dragons}} who was born in 47 BC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Nymor Martell|Nymor Martell]])''. Nymor would have been at least twelve years old at the moment of Deria's birth, indicating that 35 BC is the earliest possible year of birth for Deria.

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

===Death===
[[Deria Martell]] was the ruling Princess of Dorne in 37 AC.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aenys I}} By 49 AC, Dorne was ruled by a Prince,{{Ref|FAB|The Year of the Three Brides - 49 AC}} indicating that Deria had died by then.

No further specifications can be given. Deria thus died in or between {{Date|37}} and {{Date|49}}.

==Desmera Redwyne==
===Birth===
[[Desmera Redwyne]] is 16 years old in 299 AC.{{Ref|ACOK|Appendix}} She is still 16 years old in 300 AC.{{Ref|AFFC|Appendix}} Being 16 in both 299 AC and 300 AC means that Desmera was born in {{Date|283}}.

==Desmond Grell==
===Birth===
[[Desmond Grell]] is of an age with Hoster Tully, in {{Date|299}}{{Ref|ACOK|39}} who was born in or between 238 AC and 240 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Hoster Tully|Hoster Tully]])''. That would place Desmonds birth roughly in or between {{Date|238}} and {{Date|240}} as well.

==Devan Seaworth==
===Birth===
[[Devan Seaworth]] is known to have been eleven years old in late {{Date|299}}.{{Ref|ASOS|54}} He is twelve years old in {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|ADWD|17}} This gives him the following options:
* 10 turning 11 in 299 AC, and 11 turning 12 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 288 AC
* 11 turning 12 in 299 AC, and 12 turning 13 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 287 AC

Devan Seaworth is known to be older than Edric Storm.{{Ref|ASOS|54}} Edric was born in 287 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Edric Storm|Edric Storm]])''. Since having been born in 288 AC would make Devan younger than Edric, 288 AC is eliminated, leaving only the option of 287 AC. Devan was thus born in 287 AC, the same year as Edric, and since Devan is the elder of the two, this means his birth occurred earlier in the year.

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

==Dickon Frey==
===Birth===
[[Dickon Frey]] has been mentioned to have been five years old in {{Date|299}}{{Ref|ACOK|Appendix}} and in {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|AFFC|Appendix}} Being 5 years old in both 299 AC and 300 AC means he was 4 turning 5 in 299 AC, and 5 turning 6 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 294 AC.

Dickon was thus born in {{Date|294}}.

==Dickon Tarly==
===Birth===
[[Dickon Tarly]] is described by Brienne of Tarth to be 10 or 12 in {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|AFFC|14}} Since Brienne proclaims that she is bad in estimating ages,{{Ref|AFFC|9}} her word cannot be trusted 100% (she estimated Podrick, of 12 years of age, to be 10,{{Ref|AFFC|9}} for example).

Being either 10, 11 or 12 in 300 AC would give Dickon the following options:
* 9 turning 10 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 290 AC
* 10 turning 11 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 289 AC
* 11 turning 12 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 288 AC
* 12 turning 13 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 287 AC

With Samwell having been born in {{Date|283}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Samwell Tarly|Samwell Tarly]])'', and with three sisters having been born in three years time {{Ref|AGOT|26}} in between Dickon and Samwell, Dickon cannot have been born before {{Date|287}}.That would make Dickon 12 turning 13 in {{Date|300}}, when the observation of 10 or 12 is made. It is, however, not known whether the eldest of Dickons sisters was born the year after Samwell, or whether there were more years in between their births.

No further specifications can be given. Dickon was thus born in or between {{Date|287}} and {{Date|290}}.

==Domeric Bolton==
===Birth===
[[Domeric Bolton]] had been fostered. After spending four years as a page for Lady Barbrey Dustin, Domeric spent three years in the Vale as a squire to Lord Redfort.{{Ref|ADWD|32}} Fostering usually ends at the age of sixteen, when the boy becomes a man grown by law.<ref>[[So Spake Martin]]: [https://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/Some_Questions Some Questions (March 16, 2000)]</ref>
When Domeric returned home, after having enjoyed spending time with Lord Redfort's sons, he learned he had a bastard brother. Domeric sought out his bastard brother, and died shortly thereafter.{{Ref|ADWD|32}} Domeric died in 297 AC ''(see below, under "Death")''. If Domeric was sixteen years old at the time of his death (and his death thus occurred shortly after his return from the Vale), Domeric would have been born in 281 AC.

It cannot be stated with certainty that Domeric died within a year of returning to the Dreadfort, or whether multiple years passed in between. It also cannot be stated with certainty that Domeric’s fostering ended at the age of sixteen. Although Domeric was said to have had the makings of a tourney knight, Domeric is not mentioned to have received his knighthood prior to leaving the Vale.

It is, however, certain that Domeric was at least sixteen years old when he died, as Roose Bolton mentions that his son had been "a man grown" when he went to visit his bastard brother.{{Ref|ADWD|32}}

Due to the uncertainty that arises with Domeric's birth, we can thus only conclude that Domeric was born in or before 281 AC.

In any case, Domeric had been fostered by Lady Barbrey Dustin.{{Ref|ADWD|32}} As Lady Barbrey has been Barbrey Ryswell until her marriage, Domeric's fostering thus took place after Barbrey's marriage to Lord Dustin.
Lady Barbrey was married to Lord Dustin in 282 AC, and thus, technically, this is the first year where Domeric could have been fostered. With fosterings usually ending at the age of 16, and Domeric's fostering in total having lasted seven years, four of which were spend at Lady Barbrey's, Domeric would have been 9 years old at the oldest when his fostering with Lady Barbrey started.

With Domeric's age at 9 at the maximum in 282 AC, Domeric cannot have been born before 273 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Domeric was thus born in or between {{Date|273}} and {{Date|281}}.

===Death===
In {{Date|299}}, Domeric is said to have died two years ago.{{Ref|ACOK|16}} This places Domerics death in {{Date|297}}.

==Donal Noye==
===Birth===
[[Donal Noye]] was "well past thirty" when he took a blow from an axe during the Siege of Storm's End during Robert's Rebellion.{{Ref|AGOT|19}} Robert's Rebellion ended in 283 AC.{{Ref|ADWD|Appendix}} This means that Donal had been at least thirty-one years old during the siege, placing his birth no later than 252 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Donal was thus born in or before {{Date|252}}.

==Donald Tarly==
===Birth===
[[Donald Tarly]] was the father of Samantha Tarly,{{Ref|FAB|Aftermath - The Hour of the Wolf}} who was born at the latest in 113 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Samantha Tarly|Samantha Tarly]])''. Donald would have been at least twelve years old at the moment of Samantha's birth, meaning that he could not have been born any later than {{Date|101}}.

===Death===
[[Donald Tarly]]'s daughter, Samantha Tarly,{{Ref|FAB|Aftermath - The Hour of the Wolf}} was born at the earliest in 112 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Samantha Tarly|Samantha Tarly]])''. Therefore Donald could not have died before 112 AC.

By early in 130 AC, the lordship of Horn Hill was held by Alan Tarly,{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - The Red Dragon and the Gold}} placing Donald's death no later than 130 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Donald thus died in or between {{Date|112}} and {{Date|130}}.

==Donel Greyjoy==
===Birth===
[[Donel Greyjoy]] was the third son of Quellon Greyjoy.{{Ref|AFFC|1}} Thus, he would have been at least one year younger than his older brother, Quenton. Quenton was born no earlier than 254 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Quenton Greyjoy|Quenton Greyjoy]])'', indicating that Donel could not have been born any earlier than 255 AC.

Donel would have been at least nine months older than Balon, Quellon's fourth son.{{Ref|AFFC|1}} As Donel and Balon have different mothers,{{Ref|AFFC|1}} following rule #2, it is possible that they were born in the same year. Balon was born in 262 AC the latest ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Balon Greyjoy|Balon Greyjoy]])'', indicating that Donel's last possible year of birth is 262 AC as well.

No further specifications can be given. Donel was thus born in or between {{Date|255}} and {{Date|262}}.

==Donella Manderly==
===Birth===
[[Donella Hornwood|Donella Manderly]] says she is "past her childbearing years" in {{Date|299}}.{{Ref|ACOK|16}} We should not apply rule #5 here because it is not known how old Donella's son, Daryn Hornwood, is and that her phrasing is relatively vague. However, as the minimum age of "past her childbearing years" for Westerosi is at least forty-two,{{Ref|FAB|The Year of the Three Brides - 49 AC}} Donella was therefore no younger than forty-two in 299 AC, placing her birth no later than 257 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Donella was thus born in or before {{Date|257}}.

==Donnel Haigh==
===Birth===
[[Donnel Haigh]] was born at least one year after his older brother Harys. Harys was born the earliest in 251 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Harys Haigh|Harys Haigh]])'', so Donnel was born no earlier than one year later, in 252 AC.

Donnel was born at least one year before his younger brother Alyn. Alyn was born no later than 291 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Alyn Haigh|Alyn Haigh]])'', meaning that Donnel was born no later than one year before that, making Donnels last possible year of birth 290 AC.

Donnel, however, is a knight, in 299 AC,{{Ref|ASOS|49}} meaning that he is at least fifteen years old at the time. Sandor Clegane mentions in 300 AC how he has ridden and won against Donnel many times,{{Ref|ASOS|50}} suggesting that Donnel has been a knight for several years already. Sandor Clegane also states how he had almost killed Donnel in a melee. There are no known melee's that Sandor took place in 299 AC, meaning that this melee would have taken place in 298 AC the earliest. With Donnel having been at least fifteen years old in 298 AC at the latest, puts his last possible year of birth in 283 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Donnel was thus born in or between {{Date|252}} and {{Date|283}}.

==Donnel Hightower==
===Birth===
[[Donnel Hightower]] was the grandfather of Ser Eustace Hightower,{{Ref|FAB|Jaehaerys and Alysanne - Their Triumphs and Tragedies}} who was born at the latest in 41 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Eustace Hightower|Eustace Hightower]])''. Donnel would have been at least twelve years old at the time of the birth of Eustace's father and at least twenty-four at the moment of Eustace's birth. This means that Donnel was born no later than {{Date|17}}.

No further specifications can be given. Donnel was thus born in or before {{Date|17}}.

==Donnel Waynwood==
===Birth===
[[Donnel Waynwood]] is mentioned to be twenty years old in {{Date|298}}.{{Ref|AGOT|34}} For Donnel, that gives two options:
* 19 turning 20 in 298 AC, placing his birth in 278 AC
* 20 turning 21 in 298 AC, placing his birth in 277 AC

No further specifications can be given. Donnel was thus born in either {{Date|277}} or {{Date|278}}.

==Donnor Stark==
===Birth===
[[Donnor Stark]]'s next youngest sibling, [[Willam Stark]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} was born no later than 214 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Willam Stark|Willam Stark]])''. Donnor would have been born at least a year earlier, so he was born no later than {{Date|213}}.

Donnor was the eldest child of [[Beron Stark]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} who was born no earlier than 172 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Beron Stark|Beron Stark]])''. Beron would have been at least 12 years old at Donnor's birth, so Donnor was born no earlier than 184 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Donnor was thus born in or between {{Date|184}} and {{Date|213}}.

===Death===
[[Donnor Stark]] inherited the lordship of Winterfell from his father, Lord [[Beron Stark]]. Since Beron was alive in 212 AC,{{Ref|TMK}} Donnor could not have died earlier than 212 AC.

Donnor was succeeded as Lord of Winterfell by his younger brother, [[Willam Stark|Willam]]. As Willam died in 226 AC,{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Wall and Beyond: The Wildlings}} Donnor could not have died any later than 226 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Donnor thus died in or between {{Date|212}} and {{Date|226}}.

==Dontos Hollard==
===Birth===
[[Dontos Hollard]] has been described as being “a knight of forty years” in {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|AFFC|4}} This places Dontos's age in 300 AC at roughly 40 years, placing his age between 37 and 43.

Dontos has been described as having been a young boy during the Defiance at Duskendale.{{Ref|AFFC|9}} The Defiance at Duskendale took place in {{Date|277}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II}} With Dontos still being named a “young boy” during this event, he would most likely not yet have reached the age of 16 yet (which is adulthood).

For Dontos, as per the descriptions of his age, the following options exist:
* 36 turning 37 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 263 AC
* 37 turning 38 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 262 AC
* 38 turning 39 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 261 AC
* 39 turning 40 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 260 AC
* 40 turning 41 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 259 AC
* 41 turning 42 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 258 AC
* 42 turning 43 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 257 AC
* 43 turning 44 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 256 AC

This gives the years 256 AC up to 263 AC as options for Dontos's birth.

The Defiance at Duskendale gives Dontos the following maxima:
* Being 15 turning 16 in 277 AC, placing his birth no earlier than 261 AC

Comparing this possibility to the possibilities gained by looking at Dontos's known age in 300 AC, the years of 256 AC, 257 AC, 258 AC, 259 AC and 260 AC are eliminated.

No further specifications can be given. Dontos was thus born in either {{Date|261}}, {{Date|262}}, or {{Date|263}}.

'''''Note:''' Being described as a “boy” suggests an age younger than 16 years, suggesting that Dontos's actual birth was closer to 263 AC than to 261 AC. Having been born in 263 AC (Dontos's youngest option) would have made him 13 years old in {{Date|276}}, the first possible option, and one of the most likely options, for the Defiance.''

==Doran Martell==
===Birth===
[[Doran Martell]] is 52 years old in {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|AFFC|2}} This gives Doran the following options:
* 51 turning 52 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 248 AC
* 52 turning 53 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 247 AC

No further specifications can be given. Doran was thus born in either {{Date|247}} or {{Date|248}}.

==Dorea Sand==
===Birth===
[[Dorea Sand]] is described as being eight years old in {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|AFFC|13}} That leaves two options for Dorea:
* 7 turning 8 in 300 AC, placing her birth in 292 AC
* 8 turning 9 in 300 AC, placing her birth in 291 AC

No further specifications can be given. Dorea was thus born in either {{Date|291}} or {{Date|292}}.

==Doreah==
===Birth===
[[Doreah]] is almost twenty in 298 AC,{{Ref|AGOT|23}} meaning she will turn twenty that year or the following one. That gives her the following options:
* 19 turning 20 in 298 AC, placing her birth in 278 AC
* 19 turning 20 in 299 AC, placing her birth in 279 AC

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

==Dorna Swyft==
===Birth===
[[Dorna Swyft]] was handed over as a hostage by her father, Ser Harys Swyft, to Ser Kevan Lannister. This happened after Kevan's return from the War of the Nine Penny Kings in 260 AC and before the Reyne-Tarbeck revolt which occurred in 261 AC.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Westerlands: House Lannister Under the Dragons}} This indicates Dorna was born at the latest in 261 AC.

Dorna eventually married Kevan and they had four children together. Following rule #5, Dorna was no older than ~52 years old at the birth of her youngest child, Janei Lannister,{{Ref|ACOK|Appendix}} who was born in either 296 or 297 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Janei Lannister|Janei Lannister]])''. Therefore Dorna would have been born no earlier than ~244 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Dorna was thus born in or between ~{{Date|244}} and {{Date|261}}.

==Drogo==
===Birth===
[[Drogo]] is mentioned to have been no more than 30 years old when meeting Daenerys Targaryen, in either 297 AC or 298 AC.{{Ref|AGOT|3}} Being 30 years old in 298 AC places Drogo's birth no later than 267 AC (being 30 turning 31 in 298 AC, with Drogo's nameday occurring after meeting Daenerys).

Drogo was thus born in {{Date|267}}, roughly.

==Duncan the Tall==
===Birth===
[[Duncan the Tall]] was 16 or 17 years old in {{date|209}}.{{Ref|THK}} He had squired for Ser [[Arlan of Pennytree]] since the age of 5 or 6.{{Ref|THK}} When Duncan was no more than 3 or 4 years old, the Redgrass Field, in {{date|196}}, was being fought.{{Ref|TSS}} He is 18 or 19 years old in {{date|211}}.{{Ref|TSS}} It is also known that Duncan was born "some time around {{date|192}}".{{Ref|AWOIAF|Duncan}}

Being 16 or 17 years old in 209 AC gives the following options:
* 15 turning 16, placing his birth in 193 AC
* 16 turning 17, placing his birth in 192 AC
* 17 turning 18, placing his birth in 191 AC

The same possibilities will be achieved with being 18 or 19 in 211 AC, and with being 3 or 4 in 196 AC.

Furthermore, in {{date|200}} Arlan was defeated by Prince [[Baelor Targaryen (son of Daeron II)|Baelor Targaryen]] in a tourney at Storm's End before meeting Duncan.{{Ref|THK}} Since Duncan began squiring for Arlan when he was 5 or 6, that means he became a squire later that year and his birth has to be placed not before 193 AC, being 6 turning 7 in 200 AC and 15 turning 16 in 209 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Duncan was thus born in {{date|193}}.

==Duncan Targaryen==
===Birth===
[[Duncan Targaryen]]'s parents, Aegon V Targaryen and Betha Blackwood, were married in 220 AC.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon V}} This means that Duncan's first possible year of birth is that same year, 220 AC.
Duncan would be at least one year older than his brother, Jaehaerys, who was born in 225 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Jaehaerys II Targaryen|Jaehaerys II Targaryen]])'', meaning that Duncan was born no later than 224 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Duncan was thus born in or between {{Date|220}} and {{Date|224}}.

==Dunstan Drumm==
===Birth===
[[Dunstan Drumm]] is mentioned to be younger than Erik Ironmaker.{{Ref|AFFC|19}} Since Erik was born in either 211 AC or 212 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Erik Ironmaker|Erik Ironmaker]])'', Dustan will have been born in {{Date|212}} or later.

==Duram Bar Emmon==
===Birth===
[[Duram Bar Emmon]] was 14 years old in early {{Date|299}}.{{Ref|ACOK|Prologue}} He was 15 in late 299 AC,{{Ref|ASOS|25}} between the Battle of the Blackwater and Joffrey’s wedding on the first day of {{Date|300}}. He was also 15 years old in 300 AC.{{Ref|AFFC|Appendix}} Being both 14 and 15 in 299 AC means Duram was 14 turning 15 in 299 AC, placing his birth in {{Date|284}}.

==Dyanna Dayne==
===Birth===
[[Dyanna Dayne]] married Prince Maekar Targaryen and they had six children together. The eldest of those was Daeron Targaryen, who was born in 190 or 191 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Daeron Targaryen (son of Maekar I)|Daeron Targaryen (son of Maekar I)]])''. Dyanna would have been at least twelve years old at the moment of Daeron's birth, meaning that 179 AC is the latest possible year of birth for Dyanna.

Following rule #5, Dyanna was no older than ~52 years old at the birth of her youngest child, Rhae Targaryen,{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Targaryen Lineage}} who was born in or between 201 and 209 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Rhae Targaryen|Rhae Targaryen]])''. Therefore Dyanna would have been born no earlier than ~149 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Dyanna was thus born in or between ~{{Date|149}} and {{Date|179}}.

'''''Note:''' Maekar was born the fourth son of King Daeron II Targaryen in or between 174 and 179 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Maekar I Targaryen|Maekar I Targaryen]])''. As a prince of the blood, Maekar probably married a woman close to his age. Therefore Dyanna birth year is likely closer to 179 AC than 149 AC.''

===Death===
[[Dyanna Dayne]] is mentioned to have died by the time the Ashford Tourney takes place in {{Date|209}}.{{Ref|THK}} This makes it possible that Dyanna had died earlier that same year, making 209 AC the last possible year of her death.

Dyanna's youngest child, Rhae, was born no earlier than 201 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Rhae Targaryen|Rhae Targaryen]])''. This means that Dyanna lived at least long enough to give birth to Rhae, making her first possible year of death 201 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Dyanna thus died in or between {{Date|201}} and {{Date|209}}.

'''Balerion Otherys''' was the youngest of the three [[bastard]] children of King [[Aegon IV Targaryen]] and his fourth mistress, [[Bellegere Otherys]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|4|11}}

==History==
After Princess [[Naerys Targaryen]] had almost died, giving birth in {{Date|161}}, her husband, Prince [[Aegon IV Targaryen|Aegon]] was sent to [[Braavos]] as an envoy, so Naerys would have sufficient time to recover. In Braavos, Aegon met Bellegere Otherys, with whom he started an affair. Aegon and Bellegere had an affair for ten years, during which Bellegere gave birth to three children: [[Bellenora Otherys|Bellenora]], [[Narha Otherys|Narha]] and Balerion. Their paternity remains doubtful, as Bellegere is said to have had a husband in every port she visited.{{Ref|TWOIAF|4|11}}

__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 (Continued3)|page 4]]. You are currently on page 3.}}
{{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:<ref group="N">However there are exceptions, like [[Duncan the Tall]] being a squire when he was six years old or [[Daemon Blackfyre]] being knighted when he was twelve years old.</ref>
##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}}

==Kaeth==
===Birth===
[[Kaeth]] was eighty years old when he was raised to the office of Grand Maester.{{Ref|AFFC|36}} This occurred in either {{Date|256}} or {{Date|257}} (due to his death, less than a year later, having occurred in either 257 AC or 258 AC, ''see below under "Death"''). If Kaeth was eighty years old in either 256 AC or 257 AC, that gives him the following options:
* 79 turning 80 in 256 AC, placing his birth in 176 AC
* 80 turning 81 in 256 AC, placing his birth in 175 AC
* 79 turning 80 in 257 AC, placing his birth in 177 AC
* 80 turning 81 in 257 AC, placing his birth in 176 AC

No further specifications can be given. Kaeth was thus born in either {{Date|175}}, {{Date|176}} or {{Date|177}}.

===Death===
[[Kaeth]] died within a year of being raised to the office of Grand Maester, after which he was replaced. His replacement, Ellendor, also died within a year of being raised to the office, which cause another replacement, Merion, to be send to King's Landing, who died on the journey over there. That was when [[Pycelle]] was raised, in {{Date|259}}.{{Ref|AFFC|36}}

With Pycelle having started in 259 AC, that means that Merion died in 259 AC. Merion died on the way to King's Landing, which means he was named Grand Maester either in 259 AC or in 258 AC (it is unknown how long the journey takes exactly, or in which part of the year this all occurred).This means that Ellendor died in either 258 AC or 259 AC. With Kaeth dying a little less than a year before Ellendor, places Kaeth's death in either {{Date|257}} or {{Date|258}}.

==Kermit Tully==
===Birth===
[[Kermit Tully]] was nineteen years old in {{Date|131}}.{{Ref|FAB|Aftermath - The Hour of the Wolf}} Following rule #3, this places his birth in 112 AC.

Kermit was thus born in {{Date|112}}.

===Death===
Kermit was alive in 136 AC, when he was passed over for Hand at the gathering of lords.{{Ref|FAB|The Lysene Spring and the End of Regency}} Thus he died no earlier than {{Date|136}}.

==Kerwin==
===Birth===
[[Kerwin]] is judged to be twenty-two years old in 300 AC.{{Ref|ADWD|56}} That gives Kerwin the following options:
* 21 turning 22 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 278 AC
* 22 turning 23 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 277 AC

No further specifications can be given. Kerwin was thus born in either {{Date|277}} or {{Date|278}}.

==Kevan Lannister==
===Birth===
[[Kevan Lannister]] was fifty-five years old in {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|AFFC|7}} This leaves two options for Kevan:
* He was 54 turning 55 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 245 AC
* He was 55 turning 56 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 244 AC

Kevan's younger sister Genna was born in {{Date|245}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Genna Lannister|Genna Lannister]])''. This would eliminate Kevan's option of having been born in 245 AC, placing his birth in 244 AC.

Kevan was thus born in {{Date|244}}.

==Khrazz==
===Birth===
[[Khrazz]] is roughly 40 years younger than Barristan Selmy,{{Ref|ADWD|67}} who was born in either 236 AC or 237 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Barristan Selmy|Barristan Selmy]])''. That means Khrazz was born roughly speaking in {{Date|276}} or {{Date|277}}.

==Kiera of Tyrosh==
===Birth===
[[Kiera of Tyrosh]]'s only living child, Princess Vaella Targaryen, was born in {{Date|222}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Maekar I}} Following rule #5, Kiera would be no older than ~52 at the birth of her youngest child, meaning that the earliest possible year of birth for Kiera is ~170 AC.

Prior to Vaella, Kiera also had stillborn sons with her first husband, Prince Valarr Targaryen.{{Ref|TMK}} The hunchback septon who accuses Bloodraven of killing them by summoning a shadow mentions multiple sons but only a single shadow, suggesting their sons may have been twins. As Valarr's sons are not mentioned as an impediment to his uncle King Aerys I Targaryen taking the throne, they were born prior to Valarr's death in {{Date|209}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Valarr Targaryen|Valarr Targaryen]])''. Kiera would have been at least twelve years old at the birth of her sons, meaning that her latest possible year of birth is 197 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Kiera was thus born between ~{{Date|170}} and {{Date|197}}.

===Death===
Kiera's youngest child, Vaella, was born in {{Date|222}},{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Maekar I}} meaning 222 AC is the earliest possible year of her death.

No further specifications can be given. Kiera thus died in {{Date|222}} or after.

==Kyle the Cat==
===Birth===
Kyle the Cat was a knight of Bitterbridge in his younger days, when he carved the young [[Joffrey Caswell]]'s first sword when he was three.{{Ref|TMK}} Joffrey Caswell's latest possible year of birth is 192 AC, ''(See [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Joffrey Caswell|Joffrey Caswell]])'' meaning the this happened at the latest in 196 AC. As a knight, Kyle the Cat would have been at least fifteen years old in 196 AC. Therefore he was born in or before {{Date|181}}.

No further specifications can be given. Kyle was thus born in or before {{Date|181}}.

'''''Note:''' Kyle the Cat is described as being "of middling years" in ''[[The Mystery Knight]]''.{{Ref|TMK}}

==Kyra==
===Birth===
[[Kyra]] is known to have been eighteen years old in {{Date|299}}.{{Ref|ACOK|50}} This would give Kyra the following two 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. Kyra was thus born in either {{Date|280}} or {{Date|281}}.

==Kyra Frey==
===Birth===
[[Kyra Frey]] would have been at least twelve years old when her eldest child, Walder, was born. Walder was born in {{Date|290}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Walder Goodbrook|Walder Goodbrook]])'', meaning that Kyra could not have been born any later than 278 AC.

Kyra would have been at least one year younger than her older brother Tytos. Tytos was born no earlier than 260 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Tytos Frey|Tytos Frey]])'', meaning that Kyra's earliest possible year of birth is 261 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Kyra was thus born in or between {{Date|261}} and {{Date|278}}.

{{Alphabetized Navigation}}

==Lady Butterwell==
===Birth===
[[Lady Butterwell]] was fifteen years old when she married in {{Date|212}}.{{Ref|TMK}} That gives her the following options:
* 14 turning 15 in 212 AC, placing her birth in 197 AC
* 15 turning 16 in 212 AC, placing her birth in 196 AC

No further specifications can be given. Lady Butterwell was thus born in either {{Date|196}} or {{Date|197}}.

==Lady Corbray==
===Birth===
[[Lady Corbray]] is sixteen years old when she marries Lyonel Corbray in {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|AFFC|41}} That gives her the following options:
* 15 turning 16 in 300 AC, placing her birth in 284 AC
* 16 turning 17 in 300 AC, placing her birth in 283 AC

No further specifications can be given. Lady Corbray was thus born in either {{Date|283}} or {{Date|284}}.

==Laena Penrose==
===Birth===
[[Laena Penrose]] was the second born child of Ronnel Penrose and Elaena Targaryen.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Targaryen Lineage}} Laena would have been born at least one year later than her older sibling, Robin. Robin was born in {{Date|184}} the earliest ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Robin Penrose|Robin Penrose]])'', indicating that Laena could have been born no earlier than 185 AC.

As Laena'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 fifty. Laena was the second of the four children of Ronnel and Elaena, indicating that she could not have been born any later than 198 AC, when Elaena was fourty-eight years old.

* 15 turning 16 in 298 AC, placing Lancels birth in 282 AC
* 15 turning 16 in 299 AC, placing Lancels birth in 283 AC
* 16 turning 17 in 299 AC, placing Lancles birth in 282 AC

In early {{Date|300}}, Lancel is seventeen years old.{{Ref|AFFC|7}}

Lancel was thus born in {{Date|282}}.

==Lanna (Happy Port)==
===Birth===

'' '''Note:''' [[Antario Jast]], Lanna's husband, had at least two sons by 299 AC, but it is unconfirmed whether they are from Lanna or an earlier wife.{{Ref|ACOK|32}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Lannister Lineage}} Since his sons are old enough to ride to battle, and boys are considered to be at least eight years old when becoming a squire, it can be determined that the second son was born no later than 291 AC. If Lanna was the mother of Antario's children, it could be determined that by 291 AC she was at least thirteen years old, the minimum age for giving birth to a second son. As such, Lanna could not have been born any later than 278 AC.''

==Leathers==
===Birth===
[[Leathers]] is well past forty in 300 AC, with sons and grandsons of his own.{{Ref|ADWD|35}} Leathers would thus be at least forty-one years old in 300 AC, and while the wording suggests that Leathers is older than that, no specification on that can be given, thus forty-one is the only number that can be stated. That would place his birth in {{Date|259}} or before. No further specifications can be given.

===Birth===
[[Lem (Standfast)|Lem]] was fifty if he was a day in {{Date|211}}.{{Ref|TSS}} He had been old enough to fight in the Blackfyre Rebellion in {{Date|196}}. Being around fifty years old means that Lem was born around {{Date|161}}. No further specifications can be given.

[[Lily]]'s mother, Megette, was the mistress of King Aegon IV from {{Date|155}} until {{Date|158}}. Lily is listed as the second of four children.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}} This would place Lily's birth in {{Date|156}}.

==Lollys Stokeworth==
===Birth===
[[Lollys Stokeworth]] was thirty-three years old during {{Date|299}},{{Ref|ACOK|17}} and she is also known to have been thirty-four years old in {{Date|299}}.{{Ref|ASOS|Appendix}} Lollys being both 33 and 34 during {{Date|299}}, places her birth in {{Date|265}}.

Brandon would have been at least twelve years old at the moment of Lonnel's birth. Therefore, Lonnel could not have been born before 152 AC.

Brandon's relationship with Lonnel's mother precedes his marriage to [[Alys Karstark (wife of Brandon)|Alys Karstark]],<ref>asoiaf.westeros.org: [https://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?/topic/152844-the-wiki-timeline-project-v2/&page=6&tab=comments#comment-8495560 The Wiki-Timeline Project v2 – Comment by Ran (March 16, 2020)]</ref> so Lonnel cannot have been born earlier than his younger half-sibling [[Rodwell Stark]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} however they could have been born in the same year. Rodwell was born no later than 195 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Rodwell Stark|Rodwell Stark]])'', so Lonnel was born in 195 AC the latest.

==Loras Tyrell==
===Birth===
[[Loras Tyrell]] is described as being sixteen years old during the Hand's tourney in {{Date|298}},{{Ref|AGOT|29}} and later also when Eddard Stark sends men after Gregor Clegane.{{Ref|AGOT|43}} Catelyn Tully, upon seeing Loras in {{Date|299}}, thinks he cannot have been more than two years older than Robb, who was, at that moment, fifteen, while also thinking how Loras could not yet have reached his second nameday wen Robert Baratheon won his crown in {{Date|283}}.{{Ref|ACOK|22}} When Tyrion is speaking with Ser Loras after the Battle of the Blackwater, but before Margaery's and Joffrey's wedding, thus in 299 AC, Loras is mentioned to be seventeen years old.{{Ref|ASOS|12}}
This could give the following options:
* 15 turning 16 in 298 AC, 16 turning 17 in 299 AC, and 17 turning 18 in 300 AC, placing his birth year in 282 AC
* 16 turning 17 in 298 AC, 17 turning 18 in 299 AC, and 18 turning 19 in 300 AC, placing his birth year in 281 AC

On the day of Margaery's wedding to Tommen, in the year {{Date|300}}, when Margaery herself is noted to be sixteen years old, Cersei notes that Loras is one year older than her.{{Ref|AFFC|12}} With Margaery still being sixteen years old, that would make Loras seventeen years old in 300 AC, meaning that Loras was born in 282 AC, as the other option would not be possible, compared to Cersei's quote.

In addition, Jaime Lannister mentions that Loras is seventeen years old in 300 AC,{{Ref|ASOS|67}} confirming that Loras was seventeen in both 299 AC and 300 AC, placing his birth in 282 AC.

Loras was thus born in {{Date|282}}.

Lucos is also sixteen years old in 300AC.{{Ref|AFFC|Appendix}} That eliminates the option of having been 16 turning 17 in 299 AC, leaving only the option of 283 AC for Lucos's birth year.

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

==Luthor Tyrell==
===Birth===
[[Luthor Tyrell]] was betrothed to Shaera Targaryen in 237 AC,{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon V}} so he cannot have been born later than that.

No further specifications can be given. Luthor was thus born in or before {{Date|237}}.

===Death===
[[Luthor Tyrell]] died at the earliest the year before the birth of his son, Mace Tyrell,{{Ref|ASOS|6}} who was born no earlier than 256 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Mace Tyrell|Mace Tyrell]])''. Therefore Luthor died no earlier than 255 AC.

Luthor was succeeded by Mace as Lord of Highgarden,{{Ref|ASOS|6}} as Mace held the title by the time of the Tourney at Harrenhal in 281 AC,{{Ref|ASOS|24}} Luthor could not have died any later than 281 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Luthor thus died in or between {{Date|255}} and {{Date|281}}.

==Lyanna Mormont==
===Birth===
[[Lyanna Mormont]] is mentioned to be "ten, or near enough to make no matter" in {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|ADWD|3}} This shows that Lyanna is either still nine, to be turning ten later in the year, or she already had turned ten in 300 AC. This places Lyanna's birth in {{Date|290}}.

==Lyanna Stark==
===Birth===
[[Lyanna Stark]] had been sixteen years old when she died in 283 AC.{{Ref|AGOT|4}} For Lyanna, this gives the following options:
* 15 turning 16 in 283 AC, placing her birth in 267 AC
* 16 turning 17 in 283 AC, placing her birth in 266 AC

No further specifications can be given. Lyanna was thus born in either {{Date|266}} or {{Date|267}}.

===Death===
[[Lyanna Stark]] died shortly after the Sack of King's Landing. The Sack took place in {{Date|283}}, around the time of the birth of Robb Stark. Since the year continues for a few more months after Robb's nameday, Lyanna thus also died in {{Date|283}}.

==Lyanna Stark (daughter of Cregan)==
===Birth===
[[Lyanna Stark (daughter of Cregan)|Lyanna Stark]] was the third child of Lord [[Cregan Stark]] by his third wife, Lady [[Lynara Stark]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} She would have been at least one year younger than her older brother Edric, who had been born no earlier than {{Date|137}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Edric Stark (son of Cregan)|Edric Stark (son of Cregan)]])''. As such, Lyanna could not have been born any earlier than 138 AC.

Lyanna would have been at least one year older than her younger brother, Barthogan Stark.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} As the latest possible year of birth for Barthogan is 182 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Barthogan Stark|Barthogan Stark]])'', Lyanna would have been born no later than 181 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Lyanna was thus born in or between {{Date|138}} and {{Date|181}}.

==Lyanne Glover==
===Birth===
[[Lyanne Glover]]'s son, [[Brandon Stark (son of Willam)|Brandon Stark]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} was born in or between 197 AC and 223 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Brandon Stark (son of Willam)|Brandon Stark (son of Willam)]])''. Lyanne would have been at least 12 years old at the birth, so she was born in or between {{Date|185}} and {{Date|211}}.

===Death===
[[Lyanne Glover]] died in childbirth, giving birth to [[Brandon Stark (son of Willam)|Brandon Stark]].{{Ref|AGOT|24}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} Brandon was born in or between 197 AC and 223 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Brandon Stark (son of Willam)|Brandon Stark (son of Willam)]])''.

No further specifications can be given. Lyanne thus died in or between {{Date|197}} and {{Date|223}}.

==Lyarra Stark==
===Birth===
[[Lyarra Stark]]'s eldest child, [[Brandon Stark]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} was born in 262 AC.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II}} Lyarra would have been at least twelve years old at the birth, so she was born no later than 250 AC.

Lyarra's older sister, [[Branda Stark]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} was born no earlier than 202 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Branda Stark|Branda Stark]])''. Lyarra would have been born at least a year later, therefore she was born in or after 203 AC.

Lyarra's youngest child, Benjen Stark, was born in 267 AC or after ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Benjen Stark|Benjen Stark]])''. Lyarra would have given birth to Benjen while she was still a fertile woman. 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. As such, Lyarra would have ben 52 years old at most when her youngest child was born. As Benjen was born in 267 AC or after, Lyarra could not have been older than ~52 in 267 AC, meaning she could not have been born any earlier than ~215 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Lyarra was thus born in or between ~{{Date|215}} and {{Date|250}}.

===Death===
Lyarra cannot have died before her youngest child, [[Benjen Stark]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} was born. Benjen was born no earlier than 267 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Benjen Stark|Benjen Stark]])'', so Lyarra died no earlier than 267 AC.

Lyarra was dead in 299 AC,<ref>[[So Spake Martin]]: [https://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/1035/ Numerous Questions (June 17, 1999)]</ref> so she died no later than 299 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Lyarra thus died in or between {{Date|267}} and {{Date|299}}.

==Lyman Beesbury==
===Birth===
[[Lyman Beesbury]] was eighty years old in 129 AC.{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - The Blacks and the Greens}} That gives him the following options:
* 79 turning 80 in 129 AC, placing his birth in 49 AC
* 80 turning 81 in 129 AC, placing his birth in 48 AC

As the source of information concerns a historical work, rule #3 applies, eliminating the option of 48 AC, leaving only 49 AC.

Lyman was thus born in {{Date|49}}.

==Lyman Darry==
===Birth===
[[Lyman Darry]] is eight years old in {{Date|299}}.{{Ref|ACOK|Appendix}} That gives Lyman the following options:
* 7 turning 8 in 299 AC, placing his birth in 291 AC
* 8 turning 9 in 299 AC, placing his birth in 290 AC

No further specifications can be given. Lyman was thus born in either {{Date|290}} or {{Date|291}}.

==Lyman Lannister==
===Birth===
[[Lyman Lannister]] had a bastard son, [[Tyler Hill]],{{Ref|FAB|The Sons of the Dragon}} who was born at the latest in {{Date|28}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Tyler Hill|Tyler Hill]])''. Lyman would have been at least twelve years old at the moment of Tyler's birth, meaning that {{Date|16}} is the latest possible year of birth for Lyman.

No further specifications can be given. Lyman was thus born in or before {{Date|16}}.

==Lymond Mallister==
===Death===
[[Lymond Mallister]] was Lord of Seagard during the reign of King Viserys I Targayren. He was present at the tourney celebrating Viserys's accession to the Iron Throne at Maidenpool in 104 AC.{{Ref|FAB|Heirs of the Dragon - A Question of Succession}} In 131 AC, the lordship of Seagard was held by Lord Jorah Mallister,{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - The Short, Sad Reign of Aegon II}} indicating Lord Lymond had passed away by then.

No further specifications can be given. Lymond thus died in or between {{Date|104}} and {{Date|131}}.

==Lyn Corbray==
===Birth===
[[Lyn Corbray]] is at least one year younger than his older brother, Lyonel Corbray.{{Ref|AFFC|Appendix}} Lyonel was born around 260 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Lyonel Corbray|Lyonel Corbray]])'', meaning that Lyn was born no earlier than around 261 AC.

Lyn was knighted during Robert's Rebellion,{{Ref|AFFC|23}} which took place in 282 and 283 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Events#Robert's Rebellion/War of the Usurper|Robert's Rebellion]])''. Lyn was at least fifteen years old by the time he received his knighthood. That leaves the following options for him:

* 14 turning 15 in 282 AC, placing his birth in 267 AC
* 15 turning 16 in 282 AC, placing his birth in 266 AC
* 14 turning 15 in 283 AC, placing his birth in 268 AC
* 15 turning 16 in 283 AC, placing his birth in 267 AC

No further specifications can be given. Lyn was thus born in or between ~{{Date|261}} and {{Date|268}}.

==Lynara Stark==
===Birth===
[[Lynara Stark]]'s eldest child, [[Jonnel Stark]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} was born no later than 179 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Jonnel Stark|Jonnel Stark]])''. Lynara would have been at least twelve years old at the birth, so she was born no later than {{Date|167}}.

===Death===
[[Lynara Stark]] cannot have died before her youngest child, [[Brandon Stark (son of Cregan)|Brandon Stark]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} was born. Brandon was born no earlier than 140 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Brandon Stark (son of Cregan)|Brandon Stark (son of Cregan)]])'', so Lynara died no earlier than {{Date|140}}.

==Lynesse Hightower==
===Birth===
[[Lynesse Hightower]] was "half [Jorah Mormont's] age" in {{Date|289}}, at the tourney held to celebrate the victory after the Greyjoy Rebellion.{{Ref|ACOK|12}} Jorah Mormont was born around roughly 254 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Jorah Mormont|Jorah Mormont]])'', and would have been roughly thirty-five years old at the time. If Lynesse was half his age, she would have been roughly seventeen and a half years old. This would place her birth around 271/272 AC, roughly.

No further specifications can be given. Lynesse was thus born roughly around {{Date|271}}/{{Date|272}}.

==Lynora Hill==
===Birth===
[[Lynora Hill]] is the bastard daughter of Jason Lannister. According to semi-canon sources, she was conceived when Jason was fourteen years old.<ref name=Westerlands>The World of Ice and Fire: [https://www.georgerrmartin.com/world-of-ice-and-fire-sample/ The Westerlands (unabridged version)]</ref> As the source for Jasons age concerns a historical work, rule #3 can be applied. As Jason was born in {{Date|229}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Jason Lannister (son of Gerold)|Jason Lannister (son of Gerold)]])'', that places Lynora's conception in {{Date|243}}, and therefore her birth in either {{Date|243}} or {{Date|244}}.
No further specifications can be given.

==Lyonel Baratheon==
===Birth===
[[Lyonel Baratheon]] had been knighted by {{Date|209}}.{{Ref|THK}} As Lyonel would have been at least fifteen years old at receiving his knighthood, he would have been born no later than 194 AC. Additionally, Lyonel chose to fight a trial by combat in {{Date|239}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Stormlands: House Baratheon}} Given the example of [[Barristan Selmy]], who fought a champion one-on-one at the age of 63,{{ref|ADWD|67}} we can assume Lyonel was approximately 65 at the oldest in 239, and thus would have been born no earlier than 174 AC.

Lyonel was thus born in or between {{Date|174}} and {{Date|194}}. No further specifications can be given.

===Death===
[[Lyonel Baratheon]] is known to have been alive in 239 AC, when Prince Duncan Targaryen broke his betrothal to Lyonel's daughter and married Jenny of Oldstones instead. By 245 AC, Lyonel's heir, Ormund Baratheon, was Lord of Storm's End, indicating that Lyonel had died by then.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon V}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Stormlands: House Baratheon}}

No further specifications can be given. Lyonel thus died in or between {{Date|239}} and {{Date|245}}.

==Lyonel Corbray==
===Birth===
[[Lyonel Corbray]] is 40-odd years old in {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|AFFC|41}} This indicates that he was born around {{Date|260}}. No further specifications can be given.

==Lyonel Frey==
===Birth===
[[Lyonel Frey]] is the second son of Emmon Frey and Genna Lannister. That means he is at least one year younger than his older brother Cleos, who was born in 257 AC the earliest ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Cleos Frey|Cleos Frey]])''. This would make one year later, 258 AC, the first possible year of birth for Lyonel.

Lyonel will have been older than his younger brother Tion by at least a year. Tion was born no later than 284 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Tion Frey|Tion Frey]])'', meaning that Lyonel was born no later than 1 year before, in 283 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Lyonel was thus born in or between {{Date|258}} and {{Date|283}}.

==Lyonel Hightower==
===Birth===
[[Lyonel Hightower]] was fifteen years old in {{Date|130}}.{{Ref|FAB|Aftermath - The Hour of the Wolf}} As the source for his age concerns a historical work, following rule #3, this would imply Lyonel's year of birth to have been 115 AC.

However, Lyonel is stated to have been fifteen years old, "on the cusp of manhood",{{Ref|FAB|Aftermath - The Hour of the Wolf}} when his father died in mid-130 AC.{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - Rhaenyra Triumphant}} Usage of "on the cusp of" suggests Lyonel was close to his sixteenth nameday, leaving the possibility he would turn sixteen at some point during the remainder of the year,<ref group="N">Prince Jacaerys Velaryon was said to be "on the cusp of his fifteenth nameday" in late {{Date|129}}, and turned fifteen later that same year (''[[Fire & Blood]]'', The Dying of the Dragons - The Red Dragon and the Gold).</ref> which would place his birth in 114 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Lyonel was thus born in either {{Date|114}} or {{Date|115}}.

===Death===
[[Lyonel Hightower]] kept Samantha Tarly as his paramour for thirteen years after the reigning High Septon forbade the union as a form of incest in {{Date|130}}.{{Ref|FAB|Aftermath - The Hour of the Wolf}} As such, Lyonel could not have died before 143 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Lyonel thus died in {{Date|143}} or after.

==Lyonel Selmy==
===Birth===
[[Lyonel Selmy]] was the father of Barristan Selmy, who was born in either 236 or 237 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Barristan Selmy|Barristan Selmy]])''. Lyonel would have been at least twelve years old at the moment of Barristan's birth, meaning that he could not have been born any later than 225 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Lyonel was thus born in or before {{Date|225}}.

===Death===
[[Lyonel Selmy]] was the head of his house when his son and heir, Barristan Selmy, joined the Kingsguard and gave up his claim to Harvest Hall.{{Ref|AGOT|57}}{{Ref|ASOS|67}} As this event occurred at the earliest in 260 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Barristan Selmy|Barristan Selmy]])'', 260 AC is the earliest possible year of death for Lyonel.

No further specifications can be given. Lyonel thus died in {{Date|260}} or after.

==Lyonel Strong==
===Birth===
[[Lyonel Strong]] had at least four children, the eldest of which was Harwin,{{Ref|FAB|Heirs of the Dragon - A Question of Succession}} who was born at the latest in 90 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Harwin Strong|Harwin Strong]])''. Lyonel would have been at least twelve years old at the moment of Harwin's birth, meaning that he could not have been born any later than 78 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Lyonel was thus born in or before {{Date|78}}.

'''''Note:''' If [[Alys Rivers]] was the daughter of Lyonel Strong, as is rumored,{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - A Son for a Son}} he would have to be born in or before {{Date|77}}, as her latest year of birth is 89 AC. ''(See [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Alys Rivers|Alys Rivers]])'' However, the true origins of Alys Rivers are mysterious and disputed, and Lord Lyonel may not have been her father.''

==Lyra Hayford==
===Birth===
[[Lyra Hayford]] 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. As Lyra was accused of having smothered her infant brother in a fit of jealousy, she must have been old enough to do so, at least three years old.

No further specifications can be given. Lyra was thus born in or between {{Date|103}} and {{Date|130}}.

==Lyra Mormont==
===Birth===
[[Lyra Mormont]] will have been at least one year younger than her older sister Alysane, who was born in 273 AC the earliest ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Alysane Mormont|Alysane Mormont]])''. This means that Lyra was born in 274 AC the earliest.

Lyra's next sister, Jorelle, is at least one year younger than her. Jorelle was born in 289 AC the latest ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Jorelle Mormont|Jorelle Mormont]])'', showing that Lyra will have been born in 288 AC the latest.

No further specifications can be given. Lyra was thus born in or between {{Date|274}} and {{Date|288}}.

==Lysa Locke==
===Birth===
[[Lysa Locke]]'s eldest child, [[Rickon Stark (son of Benjen)|Rickon Stark]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} had been born no later than {{Date|96}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Rickon Stark (son of Benjen)|Rickon Stark (son of Benjen)]])''. Lysa would have been at least twelve years old at Rickon's birth. Therefore, the latest possible year of birth for Lysa is 84 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Lysa was thus born in or before {{Date|84}}.

==Lysa Tully==
===Birth===
[[Lysa Tully]] was two years younger than her sister Catelyn.{{Ref|AGOT|34}} At one point, Catelyn describes a memory, during which she states that she herself was no older than Sansa (who was twelve at that time), while Lysa was ''younger'' than Arya (who was nine, soon to turn ten).{{Ref|AGOT|71}} Sansa and Arya are said to be two years apart in age.{{Ref|AGOT|5}}{{Ref|AGOT|7}}{{Ref|AGOT|15}} However, looking at the moment during the year their namedays take place, it is clear that Arya's nameday falls early in the year, while Sansa's nameday falls at the end of the year. So even though they are born three calendar years apart, they actually only differ two years and a few months in age, which is then rounded to two years when people are talking about it.

Looking at Catelyn's memory, she states there that she and Lysa are further apart in age than Sansa and Arya, yet she and Lysa still qualify as being two years apart in age. So Catelyn and Lysa differ nearly two and a half years in age (since anything more than two and a half years would be rounded up to three years, generally speaking). As Catelyn was born no earlier than 264 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Catelyn Tully|Catelyn Tully]])'', Lysa was born no earlier than 266 AC.

Catelyn Tully was born no later than 265 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Catelyn Tully|CatelynTully]])''. If Catelyn's birth fell in the first half of the year 265 AC, Lysa's birth, being between two and two and a half years later, would fall in 267 AC. If Catelyn's birth fell in the last few months of 265 AC, however, Lysa's birth could possibly fall in the first few months of 268 AC.

During Catelyn's earlier mentioned memory, she described Petyr Baelish as "even younger still" compared to Lysa.{{Ref|AGOT|71}} As Petyr Baelish was born in {{Date|268}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Petyr Baelish|Petyr Baelish]])'', this should indicate that, if Lysa had indeed been born in {{Date|268}}, Petyr would have been born much later that year.

No further specifications can be given. Lysa Tully was thus born in either {{Date|266}}, {{Date|267}}, or {{Date|268}}.

==Lysara Karstark==
===Death===
[[Lysara Karstark]]'s cannot have died before her only children, twins [[Brandon Stark (son of Artos)|Brandon]] and [[Benjen Stark (son of Artos)|Benjen Stark]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} were born. The twins were born no earlier than 198 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Brandon Stark (son of Artos)|Brandon Stark (son of Artos)]] and [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Benjen Stark (son of Artos)|Benjen Stark (son of Artos)]])'', so Lysara died no earlier than {{Date|198}}.

==Lysara Rogare==
===Birth===
[[Lysara Rogare]] would have been at least one year older than her younger sister, [[Larra Rogare|Larra]].{{Ref|FAB|Under the Regents - The Voyage of Alyn Oakenfist}} Larra was born in {{Date|115}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Larra Rogare|Larra Rogare]])'', indicating that Lysara had been born no later than 114 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Lysara was thus born in or before {{Date|114}}.

===Death===
Lysara was alive in 135 AC.{{Ref|FAB|The Lysene Spring and the End of Regency}} No further specifications can be given. Lysara thus died in or after {{Date|135}}.

==Lythene Frey==
===Birth===
[[Lythene Frey]] is younger than her brother Hosteen by at least one year. Hosteen was born the earliest in 248 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Hosteen Frey|Hosteen Frey]])'', meaning that Lythene's earliest possible year of birth is 249 AC.

Lythene is older than her younger brother Symond by at least one year. Symond was born in 260 AC the latest ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Symond Frey|Symond Frey]])'', meaning that Lythene was born no later than one year before, in 259 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Lythene was thus born in or between {{Date|249}} and {{Date|259}}.

{{Alphabetized Navigation}}

==Mace Tyrell==
===Birth===
[[Mace Tyrell]] is no more than ten years older than Cersei Lannister,{{Ref|AFFC|7}} who was born in 266 AC,{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Westerlands: House Lannister Under the Dragons}} indicating that Mace was born no earlier than 256 AC. Mace is older than his wife, Lady Alerie Hightower,{{Ref|ASOS|19}} who was born no later than 264 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Alerie Hightower|Alerie Hightower]])''. Mace was thus born no later than 263 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Mace was thus born in or between {{Date|256}} and {{Date|263}}.

'' '''Note:''' Though Mace and Cersei were born not ten years from each other, she thinks of him as being closer in age from her father, Lord Tywin Lannister, than her.{{Ref|AFFC|7}} In addition to Mace, his mother Lady Olenna Redwyne, also gave birth to two daughters, Mina and Janna Tyrell,{{Ref|ASOS|Appendix}} but it is unknown if the sisters are older or younger than Mace. If it is the latter, Olenna would have been relatively old during the birth of her first child as she was born in 228 AC (see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Olenna Redwyne|Olenna Redwyne]]), and thus was 28 years old in 256 AC. Therefore Mace Tyrell's birth seems to have been closer to 256 AC than 263 AC.''

==Maege Mormont==
===Birth===
[[Maege Mormont]]'s youngest daughter is ten years old. After about the age of fifty, after menopause has taken place, women can no longer give birth. This shows that when Lyanna Mormont (aged ten in {{Date|300}}, born in 289-291 AC) was born, Maege was not yet fifty. If Lyanna was born as the last child Maege could possibly have birthed, Maege would have been born around fifty years prior, around 239-241 AC. This is the earliest Maege could have been born.

Maege's eldest daughter Dacey was born no later than 277 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Dacey Mormont|Dacey Mormont]])''. Maege will have been at least twelve years old when giving birth to Dacey. This places the last moment of birth for Maege in 265 AC.

Maege tells Robb Stark, who is fifteen years old at that moment, that he was young enough to have been her grandson.{{Ref|AGOT|53}} With each generation of women being at least twelve years old at the birth of their first child, and with Robb Stark having been born in {{Date|283}}, Maege would have thus been born no later than twenty-four years prior to Robb, placing her birth in 259 AC the latest.

No further specifications can be given. Maege Mormont was thus born in or between {{Date|239}} and {{Date|259}}.

==Maegelle Frey==
===Birth===
[[Maegelle Frey]] will be at least one year younger than her older brother Aegon Frey. Aegon was born in roughly {{Date|249 AC}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Aegon Frey (son of Stevron)|Aegon Frey (son of Stevron)]])'', meaning that Maegelle was born no earlier than roughly 250 AC.

Maegelle's second child, Walder Vance, was born no later than 291 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Walder Vance|Walder Vance]])''. Maegelle would have been at least thirteen years old when giving birth to her second born child, Walder. With Maegelle having the minimum age of thirteen when giving birth to Walder, and with Walder having been born in 291 AC the latest, Maegelle was born no later than 278 AC.

However, Maegelle's younger brother, Walton, was born in {{Date|268}} at the latest ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Walton Frey|Walton Frey]])''. Maegelle is Stevron's youngest child by his second wife, Jeyne Lydden, and Walton is Stevron's only child by his third wife, Marsella Waynwood,{{Ref|ACOK|Appendix}}{{Ref|ASOS|Appendix}}{{Ref|AFFC|Appendix}} and thus, because they have different mothers, it is possible that Maegelle and Walton were born in the same year. As Walton was born in 268 AC the latest, Maegelle thus too could have been born no later than 268 AC.

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

==Maegon Targaryen==
===Birth===
[[Maegon Targaryen]] would have been at least one year older than his younger brother, [[Aerys Targaryen (son of Aegon)|Aerys Targaryen]].{{Ref|FAB|Aegon's Conquest}} As the latest possible year of birth for Aerys is {{Date|-67}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Aerys Targaryen (son of Aegon)|Aerys Targaryen (son of Aegon)]])'', Maegon would have been born no later than 68 BC.

Maegon Targaryen was the first child of Lord [[Aegon Targaryen (son of Gaemon)|Aegon]] and Lady [[Elaena Targaryen (daughter of Gaemon)|Elaena Targaryen]], who were siblings.{{Ref|FAB|Aegon's Conquest}} As we do not know which sibling was the elder and the earliest possible year of birth for both of them is 114 BC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Aegon Targaryen (son of Gaemon)|Aegon Targaryen (son of Gaemon)]] and [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Elaena Targaryen (daughter of Gaemon)|Elaena Targaryen (daughter of Gaemon)]])'', Maegon would have been born no earlier than twelve years later, in 102 BC.

==Maekar I Targaryen==
===Birth===
[[Maekar I Targaryen|Maekar Targaryen]]'s eldest son, Daeron, was born in 191 AC the latest ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Daeron Targaryen (son of Maekar I)|Daeron Targaryen (son of Maekar I)]])''. Maekar would have been at least twelve years old at Daeron’s birth. This means that 179 AC is the latest possible year of birth for Maekar.

Maekar'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)]])''. She was born before Aerys, one of Maekar's elder brothers. That would place Aerys's birth in 172 AC the earliest ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Aerys I Targaryen|Aerys I Targaryen]])''. Between Maekar and Aerys is another brother, Rhaegel. That means that Maekar cannot have been born before 174 AC.

* 14 turning 15 in 299 AC, placing his birth in 284 AC
* 15 turning 16 in 299 AC, placing his birth in 283 AC

Malwyn's older brother Robert was born in 283 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Robert Frey (son of Raymund)|Robert Frey (son of Raymund)]])''. Due to Robert being still sixteen in the first months (or so) in {{Date|300}}, and taking in account the amount of time that his mother would need to recover for a new pregnancy, this rules out that Malwyn was born in the same year as his older brother, thus ruling out the option of 283 AC.

Malwyn Frey was thus born in {{Date|284}}.

[[Mellario]] is known to be younger than her husband, Doran Martell.{{Ref|ASOS|19}} Doran Martell was born in {{Date|247}} the earliest ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Doran Martell|Doran Martell]])''. This means that Mellario was born in 248 AC or later.

Mellario gave birth to her first child, Arianne, in {{Date|276}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Arianne Martell|Arianne Martell]])''. Mellario would have been at least 12 years old at Arianne's birth, meaning that Mellario was born in 264 AC the latest.

No further specifications can be given. Mellario was thus born in or between {{Date|248}} and {{Date|264}}.

==Meraxes==
===Birth===
[[Meraxes]] was born on [[Dragonstone]] during the [[Century of Blood]] after the Targaryen exile from [[Valyria]] in {{Date|-114}},{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Reign of the Dragons: The Conquest}} and she was full-grown at the time of [[Aegon's Conquest]], in {{Date|-2}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Reign of the Dragons: The Conquest}}

Meraxes's head is described as one of the three largest [[skulls of the Targaryen dragons]], together with [[Balerion]] and [[Vhagar]],{{Ref|AGOT|13}} which means she was presumably older than [[Vermithor]], died at about the age of 96, who was the largest dragon at the time of the [[Dance of the Dragons]] after Vhagar.{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - Rhaenyra Triumphant}}{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - Rhaenyra Overthrown}} That would place place the birth of Meraxes in or before {{Date|-88}}, knowing that she died in {{Date|10}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Dorne: Dorne Against the Dragons}}

No further specifications can be given. Meraxes was thus born presumably between {{Date|-114}} and {{Date|-88}}.

==Meria Martell==
===Birth===
[[Meria Martell]] was eighty years of age in either 1 BC or 2 BC.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Reign of the Dragons: The Conquest}} As her “eighty years of age” will have been a rough indication, Meria was born "roughly" in {{Date|-81|-82}}.

==Merianne Frey==
===Birth===
[[Merianne Frey]] has been mentioned to have been eleven years old in {{Date|299}}{{Ref|ACOK|Appendix}}{{Ref|ASOS|Appendix}} and in {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|AFFC|Appendix}} Being eleven years old in both 299 AC and 300 AC means she was 10 turning 11 in 299 AC, and 11 turning 12 in 300 AC, placing her birth in 288 AC.

Merianne was thus born in {{Date|288}}.

==Meribald==
===Birth===
[[Meribald]] was no older than Podrick Payne, thus twelve years old, when he went off to war, to the War of the Ninepenny Kings.{{Ref|AFFC|25}} The War of the Ninepenny Kings took place in {{Date|260}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Jaehaerys II}} With Meribald no older than twelve in this year, that gives Meribald the following options:
* 11 turning 12 in 260 AC, placing his birth in 248 AC
* 12 turning 13 in 260 AC, placing his birth in 247 AC

Meribald states in {{Date|300}} that it will be 40 years “soon”, since he has been walking through the Seven Kingdoms, which he started doing after the War of the Ninepenny Kings.{{Ref|AFFC|25}} The War of the Ninepenny Kings had ended rather late in the year, whilst Brienne meets Meribald in the first half of the year. Meribald would have began is “walking” after the end of the war, so late 260 AC, early 261 AC.

Still, “soon” can be a matter of month, or it can be a matter of a year (or even two). No further specifications can be given, leaving the possibilities {{Date|247}} and {{Date|248}}.

==Merion==
===Birth===
[[Merion]] was sixty-six years old in 259 AC.{{Ref|AFFC|36}} That gives him the following options:
* 65 turning 66 in 259 AC, placing his birth in 193 AC
* 66 turning 67 in 259 AC, placing his birth in 192 AC

No further specifications can be given. Merion was thus born in either {{Date|192}} or {{Date|193}}.

===Death===
Merion died on his way to King's Landing. Merion left for King's Landing in 259 AC.{{Ref|AFFC|36}} This shows that Merion thus died in {{Date|259}}.

==Merrell Bullock==
===Birth===
[[Merrell Bullock]] was the father of [[Alyn Bullock]] and [[Howard Bullock]].{{Ref|FAB|A Surfeit of Rulers}} Alyn, the oldest of the two,{{Ref|FAB|A Surfeit of Rulers}} was born at the latest in 33 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Alyn Bullock|Alyn Bullock]])''. Merrell was at least 12 years old at the moment of Alyn's birth, meaning that he could not have been born any later than {{Date|21}}.

==Merrell Florent==
===Birth===
[[Merrell Florent]] was a squire in 299 AC. Squires are at least eight years old, therefore Merrell was born in or before {{Date|291}}.

No further specifications can be given. Merrell was thus born in or before {{Date|291}}.

==Merrett Frey==
===Birth===
[[Merrett Frey]] mentions in {{Date|300}} that he will be 40 years old in “less than three years”,{{Ref|ASOS|Epilogue}} meaning that he will thus be turning 38 in 300 AC, 39 in 301 AC and 40 in 302 AC, making it less than three but more than two years before Merrett turns fourty.

Turning 38 in 300 AC means that Merrett was born in {{Date|262}}.

==Mina Tyrell==
===Birth===
[[Mina Tyrell]]'s mother, Olenna Redwyne, was initially betrothed to Prince Daeron Targaryen until he repudiated the match in 246 AC,{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon V}} and Olenna later married Mina's father, Luthor Tyrell.{{Ref|ASOS|6}} Therefore 246 AC is the earliest possible year of birth for Mina.

Mina's eldest children, the twins Horas and Hobber Redwyne,{{Ref|ASOS|Appendix}} were born no later than 282 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Hobber Redwyne|Hobber Redwyne]] and [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Horas Redwyne|Horas Redwyne]])''. Mina would have been at least twelve years old at the moment of the Horas and Hobber's birth, meaning that 270 AC is the latest possible year of birth for Mina.

No further specifications can be given. Mina was thus born in or between {{Date|246}} and {{Date|270}}.

==Minisa Whent==
===Birth===
[[Minisa Whent]]'s daughter Catelyn was born in either 264 AC or 265 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Catelyn Tully|Catelyn Tully]])''. Before Catelyn was born, Minisa gave birth twice, to two boys.{{Ref|ACOK|45}} Thus, since Catelyn was Minisa's third child, Minisa will have been at least 15 years old at her birth, if not older. Since Catelyn was born in 265 AC the latest, Minisa was thus born no later than 250 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Minisa was thus born in or before {{Date|250}}.

===Death===
[[Minisa Whent]] died in childbirth, whilst giving birth to her sixth child.{{Ref|ACOK|33}} This child was at least one year younger than Minisa's youngest surviving child, Edmure. Edmure's earliest possible year of birth is 270 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Edmure Tully|Edmure Tully]])''. As Minisa's death thus occurred at least one year after Edmure's earliest possible year of birth, she died no earlier than 271 AC.

Minisa's death occurred before Catelyn's betrothal to Brandon Stark,{{Ref|ACOK|45}} when she was twelve years old.{{Ref|AGOT|6}} With Catelyn having been born in either 264 AC or 265 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Catelyn Tully|Catelyn Tully]])'', Catelyn's betrothal occurred in either 276 AC, 277 AC or 278 AC. As Minisa had died before Catelyn's betrothal was made, Minisa's death thus occurred no later than 278 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Minisa thus died in or between {{Date|271}} and {{Date|278}}.

==Mirri Maz Duur==
===Birth===
[[Mirri Maz Duur]] is said to have been fourty years old in either late {{Date|298}} or early {{Date|299}}.{{Ref|AGOT|61}} This gives Mirri the following options:
* 39 turning 40 in 298 AC, placing her birth in 258 AC
* 40 turning 41 in 298 AC, placing her birth in 257 AC
** This option is only valid if Daenerys meets Mirri Maz Duur in 298 AC
* 39 turning 40 in 299 AC, placing her birth in 259 AC
** This option is only valid if Daenerys meets Mirri Maz Duur in 299 AC
* 40 turning 41 in 299 AC, placing her birth in 258 AC

No further specifications can be given. Mirri was thus born in either {{Date|257}}, {{Date|258}} or {{Date|259}}.

===Death===
[[Mirri Maz Duur]] died the night the Red Comet appeared for the first time.{{Ref|AGOT|72}} The Red Comet appears in the sky in 299 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Events#298 AC to 299 AC|298 AC to 299 AC]])''. Mirri thus died in {{Date|299}}.

==Missandei==
===Birth===
[[Missandei]] is judged to be “no older than ten” in 299 AC{{Ref|ASOS|23}} and is known to be eleven years old in 300 AC.{{Ref|ADWD|43}} That gives her two options:
* 9 turning 10 in 299 AC, and 10 turning 11 in 300 AC, placing her birth in 289 AC
* 10 turning 11 in 299 AC, and 11 turning 12 in 300 AC, placing her birth in 288 AC

No further specifications can be given. Missandei was thus born in either {{Date|288}} or {{Date|289}}.

==Monford Velaryon==
===Birth===
[[Monford Velaryon]]'s son Monterys was born in {{Date|293}} ''(See the [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Monterys Velaryon|Monterys Velaryon]] calculation)''. As Monford would have been at least twelve years old at the birth of his son, Monford was born no later than 281 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Monford was thus born in or before {{Date|281}}.

==Monterys Velaryon==
===Birth===
[[Monterys Velaryon]] was six years old in {{Date|299}}.{{Ref|ASOS|36}} In {{Date|300}}, Monterys is still six years old.{{Ref|AFFC|Appendix}} Being six years old in both 299 AC and 300 AC shows that Monterys was 5 turning 6 in 299 AC and is 6 turning 7 in 300 AC. This places his birth in {{Date|293}}.

==Moreo Tumitis==
===Birth===
[[Moreo Tumitis]] had been sailing the Narrow Sea for thirty years in {{Date|298}}.{{Ref|AGOT|18}} This indicates Moreo started his sailing in 268 AC, or around this time. Since it is unknown how old Moreo was when he started sailing, so the year 268 AC is the maximum birth year for Moreo.

No further specifications can be given. Moreo was thus born in or before {{Date|268}}.

==Morgan Hightower==
===Birth===
[[Morgan Hightower]] had been knighted by {{Date|43}},{{Ref|FAB|The Sons of the Dragon}} meaning that he had the minimum age of 15. This would place his birth in {{Date|28}} or before. No further specifications can be given.

==Moriah Qorgyle==
===Birth===
[[Moriah Qorgyle]] 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. Moriah was thus born in or between {{Date|103}} and {{Date|133}}.

==Morning==
===Birth===
[[Morning]] was born during the Dance of the Dragons{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon II}} from an egg Rhaena Targaryen brought with her to the Vale. Rhaena left for the Vale in late 129 AC,{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - The Red Dragon and the Gold}} and news reached King's Landing that the dragon had been born by early 131 AC.{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - The Short, Sad Reign of Aegon II}} Morning is referred to as a "hatchling" upon arrival in King's Landing and in {{Date|132}}.{{Ref|FAB|Under the Regents - The Hooded Hand}} A dragon is not referred to as a hatchling past a certain age, and if the [[blacks]] had a dragon, then Rhaenyra Targaryen would have been notified by [[Jeyne Arryn]] in late {{Date|130}}.

No further specifications can be given. Morning was thus born between late {{Date|130}} and early {{Date|131}}.

===Death===
Morning was still alive in {{Date|136}}.{{Ref|FAB|The Lysene Spring and the End of Regency}} The last dragon, a stunted thing, died in 153 AC.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon III}}{{Ref|THK}} As Morning was healthy enough to be ridden several years after her birth,{{Ref|FAB|The Lysene Spring and the End of Regency}} she was not the last dragon, and thus died before the last dragon did. As she could have died in the same year as the last dragon, Morning thus died between {{Date|136}} and {{Date|153}}.

==Mors Martell (brother of Doran)==
===Birth===
[[Mors Martell (brother of Doran)|Mors Martell]] was born after Doran Martell, but before Elia Martell.{{Ref|AFFC|2}} Doran was born in 247 AC the earliest ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Doran Martell|Doran Martell]])'', and Elia Martell in 258 AC the latest ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Elia Martell|Elia Martell]])''. Mors would thus have been born at least one year after Doran, but one year before Elia, placing his birth in or between {{Date|248}} and {{Date|257}}.

===Death===
Mors died in the cradle, before the birth of Elia Martell.{{Ref|AFFC|2}} That places his death in or between {{Date|248}} and {{Date|258}}, since Mors could have died in the same year that Elia was born.

==Mors Umber==
===Birth===
[[Mors Umber]] is said to have been older than the father of Lady Donella Hornwood.{{Ref|ACOK|16}} Lady Donella is known to have been born no later than {{Date|257}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Donella Manderly|Donella Manderly]])''. Donella's father would have been at least twelve years old at her birth, since it is unknown if Donella had older siblings and Donella could thus potentially have been her fathers firstborn child. This would place Donella's fathers birth no later than {{Date|245}}. Since Mors Umber is said to have been older than Donella's father, Mors would have been born in 244 AC or earlier.

No further specifications can be given. Mors was thus born in or before {{Date|244}}.

'''''Note:''' Donella could very well have been older in {{Date|299}} than she is estimated here. But since Donella's age cannot be estimated, the numbers for Donella, her father, and Mors Umber are absolute minimums only.''

==Morya Frey==
===Birth===
[[Morya Frey]] is younger than her brother Whalen Frey by at least one year. Whalen was born no earlier than 267 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Whalen Frey|Whalen Frey]])'', meaning that one year later, 268 AC, is the first possible birth year of Morya.

Morya is older than her sister Tyta Frey by at least one year. The last possible birth year for Tyta is 270 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Tyta Frey|Tyta Frey]])'', making Morya's last possible year of birth one year before, in 269 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Morya was thus born in either {{Date|268}} or {{Date|269}}.

==Mushroom==
===Birth===
[[Mushroom]] was present at court when Prince [[Daemon Targaryen]] was named Master of coin in 103 AC.{{Ref|FAB|Heirs of the Dragon - A Question of Succession}}

No further specifications can be given. Mushroom was thus born before {{Date|103}}.

===Death===
[[Mushroom]] outlived King Aegon III Targaryen,{{Ref|FAB|The Lysene Spring and the End of Regency}} who died in 157 AC.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon III}}

No further specifications can be given. Mushroom thus died in {{Date|157}} or after.

==Mya Rivers==
===Birth===
[[Mya Rivers]] was at least two years older than her younger brother, Brynden, who was born in {{Date|175}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}} This places her birth in 173 AC the latest.

Mya's mother had been King Aegon's mistresses from either {{Date|172}} or {{Date|173}} (until either {{Date|176}} or {{Date|177}}),{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}} meaning that 172 AC is the earliest possible year for Mya to have been born.

No further specifications can be given. Mya was thus born in either {{Date|172}} or {{Date|173}}.

==Mya Stone==
===Birth===
[[Mya Stone]] was noted to be seventeen or eighteen years old by Catelyn Tully in {{Date|298}}.{{Ref|AGOT|34}} In addition, Ned Stark remembers, in {{Date|298}}, that Mya Stone was seventeen or eighteen years old, and that Robert Baratheon had been younger than that when he fathered her.{{Ref|AGOT|30}}

Being seventeen or eighteen years old in 298 AC would give Mya the following options:
* 16 turning 17 in 298 AC, placing her birth in 281 AC
* 17 turning 18 in 298 AC, placing her birth in 280 AC
* 18 turning 19 in 298 AC, placing her birth in 279 AC

Robert Baratheon was born in {{Date|262}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II}} When Eddard Stark remembers Mya's age to be either "seventeen or eighteen", he recalls that Robert was younger when fathering her.{{Ref|AGOT|30}} While Eddard is unsure about which age is correct for Mya, he is certain that Robert was younger than she is now, indicating that Robert was younger than seventeen when conceiving Mya. Thus, Mya's conception cannot have occurred later than 279 AC, with Robert being sixteen to-be-turning seventeen later that year.

The three possible birth years for Mya would then give the following options:
* If Mya was born in 279 AC, she was conceived in either 278 AC or 279 AC
* If Mya was born in 280 AC, she was conceived in either 279 AC or 280 AC
* If Mya was born in 281 AC, she was conceived in either 280 AC or 281 AC

Since Mya cannot have been conceived in 280 AC and 281 AC, she cannot have been born in 281 AC, leaving only 279 AC and 280 AC as her possible years of birth.

No further specifications can be given. Mya was thus born in either {{Date|279}} or {{Date|280}}.

'''''Note:''' The appendix of ''A Storm of Swords'' notes Mya to be nineteen years old.{{Ref|ASOS|Appendix}} It is unknown whether this appendix indicates that Mya is nineteen in 299 AC (as a large portion of the book covers events taking place in 299 AC) or whether it indicates that she was nineteen in 300 AC (as the Vale appears only in portions of the story taking place in 300 AC). As such, several options are left for Mya:''

* ''Being nineteen in {{Date|299}}''
** ''18 turning 19 in 299 AC, placing her birth in 280 AC''
** ''19 turning 20 in 299 AC, placing her birth in 279 AC''
* ''Being nineteen in {{Date|300}}''
** ''18 turning 19 in 300 AC, placing her birth in 281 AC''
** ''19 turning 20 in 300 AC, placing her birth in 280 AC''

''As Mya cannot have been born in 281 AC, she cannot have been 18 turning 19 in 300 AC.''

==Mycah==
===Birth===
[[Mycah]] is mentioned to have been thirteen years old in {{Date|298}}.{{Ref|AGOT|15}} That gives him the following options:
* 12 turning 13 in 298 AC, placing his birth in 285 AC
* 13 turning 14 in 298 AC, placing his birth in 284 AC

Mycah is also specified to have been one year older than Joffrey Baratheon,{{Ref|AGOT|15}} who was born in {{Date|286}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey Baratheon]])'', and several years older than Arya Stark,{{Ref|AGOT|15}} who was born in {{Date|289}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Arya Stark|Arya Stark]])''. Being one year older than Joffrey means Mycah was born in 285 AC, which would make him several years older than Arya as well.

Mycah was thus born in {{Date|285}}.

==Mylenda Caron==
===Birth===
[[Mylenda Caron]] was three times as old as her husband, Petyr Frey, when they got married.{{Ref|ASOS|49}} During their wedding, Petyr Frey was ten years old,{{Ref|ASOS|49}} making Mylenda roughly thirty years old at the time. In {{Date|300}}, Mylenda is mentioned to be twice as old as her husband.{{Ref|ASOS|Epilogue}} This allows for a calculation determining that Petyr was born in {{Date|280}} and Mylenda in {{Date|260}}, and that their wedding was in {{Date|290}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Petyr Frey|Petyr Frey]])''.

No further specifications can be given. Mylenda was thus born in {{Date|260}}.

==Myles Toyne==
===Death===
[[Myles Toyne]] is mentioned to have been dead for four years in {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|ADWD|24}} That places his death in {{Date|296}}.

==Myranda Lefford==
===Birth===
[[Myranda Lefford]]'s eldest child, [[Daven Lannister]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Lannister Lineage}} was born ~272 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Daven Lannister|Daven Lannister]])''. Myranda would have been at least 12 years old at the birth, so she was born no later than ~{{Date|260}}.

==Myranda Royce==
===Birth===
[[Myranda Royce]] is of an age of Mya Stone, in {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|AFFC|41}} Mya Stone was born in {{Date|279}} or {{Date|280}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Mya Stone|Mya Stone]])''. Myranda will have been born around those years as well.

==Myrcella Baratheon==
===Birth===
[[Myrcella Baratheon]] was seven years old during the welcoming feast in Winterfell in {{Date|298}}.{{Ref|AGOT|5}} She was nine years old when she was betrothed to Trystane Martell in {{Date|299}},{{Ref|ACOK|20}} and ten years old in {{Date|300}}, while residing at Sunspear.{{Ref|AFFC|13}} Being seven in 298 AC and nine in 299 AC gives only one option: Myrcella was 7 turning 8 in 298 AC, 8 turning 9 in 299 AC and 9 turning 10 in 300 AC. Myrcella was thus born in {{Date|290}}.

==Myriah Martell==
===Birth===
[[Myriah Martell]] was betrothed to Prince Daeron Targaryen in 161 AC.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Baelor I}} At that time, Myriah had not come of age yet.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Baelor I}} As the source stating Myriah had not come of age in 161 AC is a historical work, rule #3 applies. Therefore, Myriah turned sixteen at the earliest the following year, 162 AC, making 146 AC the earliest possible year of birth for Myriah.

Myriah's eldest child was Baelor Targaryen,{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Targaryen Lineage}} who was born in 170 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Baelor Targaryen (son of Daeron II)|Baelor Targaryen (son of Daeron II)]])''. Because Myriah and Daeron did not marry until they were both of age, Myriah would have been at least 16 years old at the moment of Baelor's birth, meaning that 154 AC is the latest possible year of birth for Myriah.

No further specifications can be given. Myriah was thus born in or between {{Date|146}} and {{Date|154}}.

===Death===
The last mention of Myriah is when she was stated to have become queen when her husband King Daeron II Targaryen came to the throne in 184 AC.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}} With no further specifications, Myriah thus died in either 184 AC or afterwards.

[[Myriah Stark]] would have been at least one year younger than her older sister, [[Raya Stark]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} who had been born no earlier than {{Date|135}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Raya Stark|Raya Stark]])''. As such, Myriah was born no earlier than {{Date|136}}.

Following rule #5, Myriah's mother, Alysanne Blackwood,{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} was no older than ~52 years old at the birth of Myriah. As Alysanne was born in 113 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Alysanne Blackwood|Alysanne Blackwood]])'', Myriah would have been born no later than 165 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Myriah was thus born in or between {{Date|136}} and {{Date|165}}.

==Myriame Manderly==
===Birth===
[[Myriame Manderly]] was married to [[Rodwell Stark]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} She cannot have been born after he died. Rodwell died no later than 212 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Rodwell Stark|Rodwell Stark]])'', so Myriame was born no later than {{Date|212}}.

===Death===
Myriame cannot have died before her husband was born. Rodwell was born no earlier than 152 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Rodwell Stark|Rodwell Stark]])'', so Myriame died no earlier than {{Date|152}}.

==Myrielle Lannister==
===Birth===
[[Myrielle Lannister]]'s next older sibling, [[Cerenna Lannister]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Lannister Lineage}} was born no earlier than ~273 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Cerenna Lannister|Cerenna Lannister]])''.

[[Myrielle Peake]] was one year older than King [[Aegon III Targaryen]],{{Ref|FAB|Under the Regents - War and Peace and Cattle Shows}} who was born in late {{Date|120}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Viserys I}} Myrielle was thus born in {{Date|119}}.

==Myrmadora Haen==
===Birth===
[[Myrmadora Haen]] 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. Myrmadora was thus born in or between {{Date|103}} and {{Date|133}}.

{{Alphabetized Navigation}}

==Naerys Targaryen==
===Death===
[[Naerys Targaryen]] died a year afther her bother Aemon, and during the reign of her husband, King Aegon IV.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}} Aemons first possible year of death is 178 AC, making Naerys's first possible year of death a year later, 179 AC. Aegons reign ended in 184 AC, making that Naerys's last possible year of death.

No further specifications can be given. Naerys thus died in or between {{Date|179}} and {{Date|184}}.

==Old Nan==
===Birth===
[[Old Nan]] came to Winterfell to nurse Brandon Stark, because his mother, Lyanne Glover, had died birthing him.{{Ref|AGOT|24}} Brandon was born {{Date|197|223}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Brandon Stark (son of Willam)|Brandon Stark (son of Willam)]])''. To be able to be Brandon's [[wet nurse]], Nan would have been at least twelve years old at the time of his birth. As such, Nan was born no later than 211 AC, and no earlier than 185 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Nan was thus born between {{Date|185|211}}.

==Omer Florent==
===Birth===
[[Omer Florent]] is the younger brother of Delena Florent.{{Ref|ACOK|Appendix}} Delena was born in 245 AC at the earliest, ''(See [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Delena Florent|Delena Florent]])'' meaning that Omer was born no earlier than 246 AC.

Omer also has a younger brother, Merrell Florent, who was born in 291 at the latest ''(See [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Merrell Florent|Merrell Florent]])''. Therefore, Omer was born no later than 290 AC, at least one year before Merrell.

No further specifications can be given. Omer was thus born between ~{{Date|246}} and {{Date|290}}.

'''''Note:''' Omer is a maester as of 299 AC.{{Ref|ACOK|Appendix}} The youngest possible age for a maester is unclear, but the youngest maester revealed thus far is [[Aemon Targaryen (son of Maekar I)|Aemon]], who took his vows at nineteen.{{Ref|AWOIAF|Aemon}} Thus, while the exact youngest possible birth year for Omer when taking into account his status as a maester is uncertain, it is likely nearer to 280 AC than 290 AC. Additionally, since his elder sister was a maiden{{Ref|ASOS|19}} and described as a girl when Robert Baratheon deflowered her,{{Ref|AGOT|35}} she was likely born significantly later than 245, as was Omer.''

==Narha Otherys==
===Birth===
[[Narha Otherys]] was the middle child of the three children of Bellegere Otherys and King Aegon IV Targaryen. Bellegere and Aegon were together from {{Date|161}} until {{Date|171}}, and all the children were born during that decade.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}}

This would place Narha's birth in 162 AC the earliest, at least one year after her elder sister Bellenora, and in 170 AC the latest (as she would have one younger sibling).

No further specifications can be given. Narha was thus born in or between {{Date|162}} and {{Date|170}}.

==Norman Hightower==
===Birth===
[[Norman Hightower]] had been knighted by {{Date|56}},{{Ref|FAB|Jaehaerys and Alysanne - Their Triumphs and Tragedies}} meaning that he had the minimum age of fifteen. This would place his birth in {{Date|41}} or before. No further specifications can be given.

==Norren (House Mooton)==
===Birth===
[[Norren (House Mooton)|Norren]] was twenty-two years old in 130 AC.{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - Rhaenyra Triumphant}} That gives him the following options:
* 21 turning 22 in 130 AC, placing his birth in 108 AC
* 22 turning 23 in 130 AC, placing his birth in 107 AC

As the source for Norren's age concerns a historical work, rule #3 applies, eliminating 107 AC. Norren was thus born in {{Date|108}}.

==Nymeria Sand==
===Birth===
[[Nymeria Sand]] is twenty-five years old in {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|AFFC|2}}{{Ref|AFFC|Appendix}} This leaves the following options:
* 24 turning 25 in 300 AC, placing her birth in 275 AC
* 25 turning 26 in 300 AC, placing her birth in 274 AC

No further specifications can be given. Nymeria was thus born in either {{Date|274}} or {{Date|275}}.

==Nymor Martell==
===Birth===
[[Nymor Martell]] was sixty years old in {{Date|13}}.{{Ref|FAB|Reign of the Dragon - The Wars of King Aegon I}} As the source for Nymor's age concerns a historical work, followign rule #3, Nymor had thus been born in {{Date|-47}}.

===Death===
Nymor inherited the title of [[Prince of Dorne]] when his mother Princess [[Meria Martell]] died in 13 AC.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Dorne: Dorne Against the Dragons}} By 23 AC, Nymor himself had been succeeded by his daughter [[Deria Martell|Deria]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|Dorne: Dorne Against the Dragons}}

No further specifications can be given. Nymor thus died in or between {{Date|13}} and {{Date|23}}.

{{Alphabetized Navigation}}

==Obara Sand==
===Birth===
[[Obara Sand]] is described as being twenty-eight years old in {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|AFFC|Appendix}} This leaves the following options:
* 27 turning 28 in 300 AC, placing her birth in 272 AC
* 28 turning 29 in 300 AC, placing her birth in 271 AC

No further specifications can be given. Obara was thus born in either {{Date|271}} or {{Date|272}}.

==Obella Sand==
===Birth===
[[Obella Sand]] is twelve years old in {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|ADWD|38}} That leaves two options for Obella:
* 11 turning 12 in 300 AC, placing her birth in 288 AC
* 12 turning 13 in 300 AC, placing her birth in 287 AC

No further specifications can be given. Obella was thus born in either {{Date|287}} or {{Date|288}}.

==Oberyn Martell==
===Birth===
[[Oberyn Martell]], according to his own account, was fourteen or fifteen years old when Tyrion Lannister had just been born. Tyrion Lannister was born in {{Date|273}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Westerlands: House Lannister Under the Dragons}} That leaves several options for Oberyn Martell to have been fourteen or fifteen years old:
* 13 turning 14 in 273 AC, placing his birth in 259 AC
* 14 turning 15 in 273 AC, placing his birth in 258 AC
* 15 turning 16 in 273 AC, placing his birth in 257 AC

This gives the years {{Date|257}} to {{Date|259}} as options.

Doran Martell was born in either 247 AC or 248 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Doran Martell|Doran Martell]])''. Oberyn is known to have been born ten years later than Doran, which would give two options: either Oberyn was born in 257 AC or in 258 AC. This eliminates one possibility, namely 259 AC.

When Tyrion meets Oberyn Martell in {{Date|299}}, he described Oberyn as a man past forty, not as a man of forty.{{Ref|ASOS|38}} This shows that Oberyn, in 299 AC, is at least fourty-one years old, if not older. The youngest Oberyn could be at that time, was 40 turning 41 prior to meeting Tyrion in 299 AC, meaning that he was born in 258 AC or before (since Oberyn being older than 40 turning 41 in 299 AC would place his nameday earlier in the century). This cannot further specify Oberyn's year of birth.

No further specifications can be given. Oberyn was thus born in either {{Date|257}} or {{Date|258}}.

'''''Note:''' Oberyn gives several accounts of having met Tyrion Lannister shortly after Tyrions birth. He states that Jaime and Cersei Lannister were "eight or nine years old",{{Ref|ASOS|38}} but with Tyrions birth in 273 AC, combined with the birth of Jaime and Cersei in 266 AC, it can be seen that in truth, Cersei and Jaime would have been either six or seven years old (6 turning 7 in 273AC). This shows that Oberyn's account is rather untrustworthy, and cannot be used to narrow down his own age. Other discrepancies in Oberyn's account can also be found. Oberyn tells he was "fourteen or fifteen, thereabouts", showing that he does not even recall how old he was when he visited Casterly Rock. He also states that between the twins and him and Elia were five or six years,{{Ref|ASOS|70}} but at another moment, he states that while Jaime and Cersei were eight or nine, he was fourteen or fifteen, and thus Elia fifteen or sixteen, giving age differences from five to eight years.''

==Olenna Redwyne==
===Birth===
[[Olenna Redwyne]] was nine years old in {{Date|237}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon V}} As the source for Olenna's age concerns a historical work, rule #3 applies, placing Olenna's birth in {{Date|228}}.

==Olyvar Frey==
===Birth===
[[Olyvar Frey]] is two years older than Robb Stark,{{Ref|AGOT|63}} and is known to have been eighteen in 299 AC.{{Ref|ACOK|Appendix}}{{Ref|ASOS|Appendix}} Olyvar was seventeen years old in {{Date|299}} as well. With Olyvar having been both 17 and 18 in 299 AC, Olyvar was thus 17 turning 18 in {{Date|299}}, which places his birth in {{Date|281}}.

==Olyvar Martell==
===Birth===
[[Olyvar Martell]] was born after Doran Martell, but before Elia Martell.{{Ref|AFFC|2}} Doran was born in 247 AC the earliest ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Doran Martell|Doran Martell]])'', and Elia Martell in 257 AC the latest ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Elia Martell|Elia Martell]])''. Olyvar would thus have been born at least one year after Doran, but one year before Elia, placing his birth in or between {{Date|248}} and {{Date|256}}.

===Death===
[[Olyvar Martell]] died in the cradle, before the birth of Elia Martell.{{Ref|AFFC|2}} That places his death in or between {{Date|248}} and {{Date|257}}, since Olyvar could have died in the same year that Elia was born.

==Ormond Yronwood==
===Death===
[[Ormond Yronwood]] was the Lord of Yronwood when Prince Doran Martell made the plan of sending his young son, Prince Quentyn Martell, as a ward to Yronwood to settle a blood debts between Houses Yronwood and Martell.{{Ref|AFFC|21}} Since Quentyn was born in 281 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Quentyn Martell|Quentyn Martell]])'', it means 281 AC is the earliest possible year of death for Ormond.

Ormond was eventually succeded as Lord of Yronwood by his son, Anders Yronwood.<ref name="ArianneI"/> Anders was the Lord of Yronwood when he knighted the eighteen-year-old Quentyn Martell,{{Ref|AWOIAF|Quentyn Martell}} which would have been taking place in 299 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Ormond Yronwood thus died in or between {{Date|281}} and {{Date|299}}.

==Ormund Baratheon==
===Birth===
[[Ormund Baratheon]] was the father of Steffon Baratheon, who was born in 246 AC.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Stormlands: House Baratheon}} Ormund would have been at least twelve years old at Steffon's birth, meaning he could not have been born any later than 234 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Ormund was thus born in or before {{Date|234}}.

'''''Note:''' Ormund was considered young in 245 AC.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Stormlands: House Baratheon}}''

==Ormund Hightower==
===Birth===
[[Ormund Hightower]]'s eldest son, Lyonel,{{Ref|FAB|Aftermath - The Hour of the Wolf}} was born in {{Date|115}} the latest ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Lyonel Hightower|Lyonel Hightower]])''. As Ormund would have been at least twelve years old at Lyonel's birth, he could not have been born any later than 103 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Ormund was thus born in or before {{Date|103}}.

==Orryn Baratheon==
===Birth===
[[Orryn Baratheon]] was ten years older than [[Alysanne Targaryen]],{{Ref|FAB|The Year of the Three Brides - 49 AC}} who was born in 36 AC.{{Ref|FAB|The Sons of the Dragon}} As the source for his age concerns a historical work, rule #3 applies, placing Orryn's birth in {{Date|26}}.

===Death===
[[Orryn Baratheon]] married the [[Archon's daughter (Jaehaerys I)|Archon's daughter]] in 51 AC. When her father’s term as Archon ended, Orryn left for Myr and died soon after.{{Ref|FAB|A Time of Testing - The Realm Remade}}

No further specifications can be given. Orryn thus died in {{Date|51}} or after.

==Orys Baratheon==
===Birth===
[[Orys Baratheon]] was appointed Hand of the King in 1 AC.{{Ref|FAB|Aegon's Conquest}} Ser Tywin Lannister was the youngest ever to be appointed at that position at the age of twenty in 262 AC.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II}} Therefore Orys was at least twenty-one years old in 1 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Orys was thus born in or before {{Date|-20}}.

'''''Note:''' Orys is the companion of [[Aegon I Targaryen]]'s youth,{{Ref|FAB|Aegon's Conquest}} suggesting he is likely of a similar age to Aegon, who was born in {{Date|-27}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Reign of the Dragons: The Conquest}}''

==Oscar Tully==
===Birth===
[[Oscar Tully]] was the younger brother of Kermit Tully.{{Ref|FAB|Aftermath - The Hour of the Wolf}} As Kermit had been born in {{Date|112}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Kermit Tully|Kermit Tully]])'', Oscar would have been born no earlier than one year later, in 113 AC.

Oscar had been knighted in {{Date|131}}.{{Ref|FAB|Aftermath - The Hour of the Wolf}} As he would have been at least fifteen years old at receiving his knighthood, Oscar was born no later than 116 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Oscar was thus born in or between {{Date|113}} and {{Date|116}}.

===Death===
Oscar was alive in 131 AC, when he set sail for Tyrosh.{{Ref|FAB|Under the Regents - The Hooded Hand}} Thus he died no earlier than {{Date|131}}.

==Osmund Frey==
===Birth===
[[Osmund Frey]] is mentioned to be two years old in both {{Date|299}} and {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|ACOK|Appendix}}{{Ref|ASOS|Appendix}}{{Ref|AFFC|Appendix}} Being two years old in both 299 AC and 300 AC, means Osmund was 1 turning 2 in 299 AC, and 2 turning 3 in 300 AC, placing his birth in {{Date|297}}.

==Osric Umber==
===Birth===
[[Osric Umber]] had at least one child.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} The child could not have been born later than the year after his death. Osric died no later than 226 AC, so the child was born no later than 227 AC. Osric would have been at least 12 years old at the birth, so he was born no later than {{Date|215}}.

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

Osric was Lord of Last Hearth.<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 226 AC, [[Harmond Umber]] was the Lord,{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Wall and Beyond: The Wildlings}} so Oscric died no later than 226 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Osric thus died in or between {{Date|165}} and {{Date|226}}.

==Otto Hightower==
===Birth===
[[Otto Hightower]] had several children, including [[Alicent Hightower|Alicent]] and her younger brother [[Gwayne Hightower|Gwayne]].{{Ref|FAB|Heirs of the Dragon - A Question of Succession}} Otto would have been at least twelve years old in {{Date|88}}, the year of Alicent's birth ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Alicent Hightower|Alicent Hightower]])''. Therefore, Otto had been born no later than {{Date|76}}.

No further specifications can be given. Otto was thus born in or before {{Date|76}}.

==Ottyn Wythers==
===Birth===
[[Ottyn Wythers]] is known to have been of an age with Jeor Mormont,{{Ref|ACOK|23}} who was born in {{Date|230}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Jeor Mormont|Jeor Mormont]])''. "Off an age with" does not mean that Ottyn was born in the same year as Mormont, but around the same time, possibly differing a few years. No further specifications can be given about Ottyn. His birth is thus placed in roughly in the year {{Date|230}}.

{{Alphabetized Navigation}}

==Patchface==
===Birth===
[[Patchface]]'s freedom was bought by Lord [[Steffon Baratheon]] when he visited Volantis in 278 AC.{{Ref|ACOK|Prologue}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II}} At the time, Patchface was described as a boy capable of singing in four tongues.{{Ref|ACOK|Prologue}}

Patchface still being named a "boy" in 278 AC, implies he would not yet been sixteen years old, the age of majority. Patchface was at the most fifteen turning sixteen in 278 AC, which would place his birth in 262 AC.

Patchface capable of singing in four tongues in 278 AC, implies he was no longer a babe. Patchface was at least three years old in 278 AC, placing is birth at the latest in 275 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Patchface was thus born in or between {{Date|262}} and {{Date|275}}.

==Pate (King's Landing)==
===Birth===
[[Pate (King's Landing)|Pate]] is eight years old in 300 AC.{{Ref|AFFC|Appendix}}{{Ref|ADWD|Appendix}} That gives him the following options:
* 7 turning 8 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 292 AC
* 8 turning 9 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 291 AC

No further specifications can be given. Pate was thus born in either {{Date|291}} or {{Date|292}}.

==Pate (novice)==
===Birth===
[[Pate (novice)|Pate]] has been at the Citadel for five years in {{Date|300}},{{Ref|AFFC|Prologue}} indicating that he arrived in {{Date|295}}. Pate is known to have been thirteen years old upon his arrival at the Citadel,{{Ref|AFFC|Prologue}} which gives him the following options:
* 12 turning 13 in 295 AC, placing his birth in 282 AC
* 13 turning 14 in 295 AC, placing his birth in 281 AC

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

==Pate of the Blue Fork==
===Death===
[[Pate of the Blue Fork]] died while fighting for [[Robb Stark]].{{Ref|aSoS|49}}{{Ref|aFfC|30}} As Pate was a member of [[House Frey]], which fought for [[House Stark]] only during {{Date|299}}, Pate's death must have occurred in {{Date|299}}.

==Pate the Woodcock==
===Birth===
[[Pate the Woodcock]] 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 Pate 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 Pate can not have been born earlier than 13 BC.

'' '''Note:''' Pate was the youngest of the five champions,{{Ref|FAB|The Year of the Three Brides - 49 AC}} he was most likely born during the reign of King Aegon I Targaryen.''

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

==Pate (Standfast)==
===Birth===
[[Pate (Standfast)|Pate]] was old enough in {{Date|211}} to have been fighting in the Blackfyre Rebellion in {{Date|196}}.{{Ref|TSS}} Fighting is usually done from the age of fifteen years old or older,{{Ref|TSS}} so Pate will have been fifteen years old in 196 AC, meaning he had been born by 181 AC at least.
In 211 AC, people older than fifty were not wanted for the upcoming fight. This means that Pate could not have been older than fifty in 211 AC, meaning that he was born the earliest in 161 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Pate was thus born in or between {{Date|161}} and {{Date|181}}.

'''''Note:''' Several twelve year old boys are known to have served as squires in the Blackfyre Rebellion, which could place Pate's birth as late as 184 AC. However, given that the minimum age of men Eustace Osgrey summons to fight in 211 AC is fifteen and twelve was considered very young for war,{{Ref|TSS}} he was more likely born no later than 181 AC.

==Patrek Vance==
===Birth===
[[Patrek Vance]] is at least one year younger than his brother Walder. Walder was born in ~263 AC the earliest ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Walder Vance|Walder Vance]])'', meaning that Patrek cannot have been born earlier than one year later, in ~264 AC.

Patrek is not mentioned to have been a babe during {{Date|299}} or {{Date|300}}, meaning he was at least 5 during the events of {{Date|299}}<ref group="N">Rickon Stark is still called a babe at the age of 4, making that the known minimum for being a babe</ref>. This would make Patrek turning 5 in {{Date|299}} the minimum of his birth range, placing his birth no later than 294 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Patrek was thus born in or between ~{{Date|264}} and {{Date|294}}.

==Patricia Redwyne==
===Birth===
[[Patricia Redwyne]] 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. Patricia was thus born in or between {{Date|103}} and {{Date|133}}.

==Paxter Redwyne==
===Birth===
[[Paxter Redwyne]] is older than his wife{{Ref|ASOS|19}} Mina Tyrell,{{Ref|ASOS|Appendix}} who was born no later than 270 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Mina Tyrell|Mina Tyrell]])''. Paxter was thus born in or before {{Date|269}}.

'' '''Note:''' Paxter was in charge of the fleet from the Reach at the siege of Storm's End during Robert's Rebellion (282-283 AC).{{Ref|AGOT|27}} It is unlikely he would have been trusted with this task if he was born in 269 AC, as it would have only been thirteen at the time. It is furthermore stated that, because of the difference in their age, his wife is likely to outlive him.{{Ref|ASOS|19}} Paxter was thus born some years before 269 AC, though how many years is unclear.''

==Penny==
===Birth===
[[Penny]] is guessed to be "seventeen, eighteen, no more than nineteen" by Tyrion Lannister in 300 AC.{{Ref|ADWD|33}} That gives Penny the following options:
* 16 turning 17 in 300 AC, placing her birth in 283 AC
* 17 turning 18 in 300 AC, placing her birth in 282 AC
* 18 turning 19 in 300 AC, placing her birth in 281 AC

No further specifications can be given. Penny was thus born in either {{Date|281}}, {{Date|282}} or {{Date|283}}.

==Perianne Moore==
===Birth===
[[Perianne Moore]] was the same age as Princess [[Saera Targaryen]] in 82 AC,{{Ref|FAB|The Long Reign - Jaehaerys and Alysanne: Policy, Progeny, and Pain}} who was born in 67 AC.{{Ref|FAB|The Long Reign - Jaehaerys and Alysanne: Policy, Progeny, and Pain}} As the source for Perianne's age is a historical work, rule #3 applies.

Perianne was thus born in {{Date|67}}.

==Perra Frey==
===Birth===
[[Perra Frey]] has been mentioned to have been five years old in {{Date|299}}{{Ref|ACOK|Appendix}}{{Ref|ASOS|Appendix}} and in {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|AFFC|Appendix}} This would mean she was 4 turning 5 in 299 AC, and 5 turning 6 in 300 AC, placing her birth in {{Date|294}}.

==Perra Royce==
===Birth===
[[Perra Royce]] gave birth to her first child in either 233 AC or 234 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Stevron Frey|Stevron Frey]])''. She would have been at least 12 years old when Stevron was born, which means she was born no later than {{Date|222}}.

Following rule #5, Perra was no older than ~52 years old at the birth of her youngest child, Perriane Frey,{{Ref|ACOK|Appendix}} who was born no earlier than 239 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Perriane Frey|Perriane Frey]])''. Therefore Perra would have been born no earlier than ~187 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Perra was thus born in or between ~{{Date|187}} and {{Date|222}}.

===Death===
[[Perra Royce]]'s last child was born in 239 AC the earliest ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Perriane Frey|Perrianne Frey]])''. Perra’s husband, Walder Frey, had remarried by at least 249 AC, since his eldest child with his second wife was born in 249 AC the latest ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Jared Frey|Jared Frey]])''.

This means that Perra had been married to Lord Walder Frey at least from 234 AC until 239 AC. They might have gotten married earlier, there are no further indications for that. Since her husband had remarried by 249 AC, this year is the last possible year for Perra to have been alive.

No further specifications can be given. Perra thus died in or between {{Date|239}} and {{Date|249}}.

==Perriane Frey==
===Birth===
[[Perriane Frey]] is younger than her brother Aenys by at least one year. Aenys was born the earliest in 238 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Aenys Frey|Aenys Frey]])'', meaning that Perianne's earliest possible year of birth is 239 AC.

Perianne is the youngest child of Walder Frey by his first wife, Perra Royce.{{Ref|ACOK|Appendix}}{{Ref|ASOS|Appendix}}{{Ref|AFFC|Appendix}}{{Ref|ADWD|Appendix}} Her younger brother Jared, born in either 248 AC or 249 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Jared Frey|Jared Frey]])'', is the eldest child of Walder Frey by his second wife, Cyrenna Swann.{{Ref|ACOK|Appendix}}{{Ref|ASOS|Appendix}}{{Ref|AFFC|Appendix}}{{Ref|ADWD|Appendix}} As Perianne and Jared have different mothers, it is possible that they were born in the same year, meaning that Perianne was born no later than 249 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Perianne was thus born in or between {{Date|239}} and {{Date|249}}.

==Perwyn Frey==
===Birth===
[[Perwyn Frey]]'s elder sister Tyta was born in 269 AC or 270 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Tyta Frey|Tyta Frey]])''. As Perwyn and Tyta have different mothers (Bethany Rosby and Alyssa Blackwood respectively),{{Ref|ACOK|Appendix}}{{Ref|ASOS|Appendix}}{{Ref|AFFC|Appendix}} it is possible they were born in the same year. Thus, 269 AC is the first possible year of birth for Perwyn.

Perwyn's younger brother Olyvar was born in {{Date|281}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Olyvar Frey|Olyvar Frey]])''. Between Perwyn and Olyvar are two brothers, meaning that Perwyn's latest possible birth year is 278 AC, three years before Olyvar.

No further specifications can be given. Perwyn was thus born in or between {{Date|269}} and {{Date|278}}.

==Petyr Baelish==
===Birth===
When [[Petyr Baelish]] was "scarcely fifteen", Brandon Stark was twenty years old.{{Ref|AGOT|18}} It is known that Brandon Stark died at the age of twenty in {{Date|282}},{{Ref|rpg|greenronin}} and that he was born in {{Date|282}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II}} That means that Brandon would have been twenty years old in both 282 AC (19 turning 20), and in 283 AC (20 turning 21). As Brandon died in 282 AC, this shows that the duel took place in {{Date|282}}.

Petyr Baelish was described as "still shy of 30" in {{Date|298}}.{{Ref|AGOT|18}} This shows he was still 29 years old in {{Date|298}}, though it is possible he turned 30 later that year, leaving the options:
* 28 turning 29 in 298 AC, placing his birth in 269 AC
* 29 turning 30 in 298 AC, placing his birth in 268 AC

"Still shy of 30" could suggest Petyr was even younger than 29 in 298 AC, which would place his birth more recently in the timeline.

Petyr's age in 282 AC is described as "scarcely fifteen"; However, several interpretations are possible. If Petyr was indeed fifteen years old in 282 AC, he would have been born in either {{Date|267}} (14 turning 15 in 282 AC) or {{Date|266}} (15 turning 16). As both options would have made Petyr thirty or older when meeting with Catelyn in {{Date|298}}, it would seem that this interpretation of "scarcely fifteen" is not the correct usage.

However, [http://www.dictionary.com/browse/scarcely "scarcely" can also be defined to mean ''"barely; hardly; not quite"''], indicating that the description of "scarcely fifteen" suggests that Petyr had not yet been fifteen years old at the time of the duel, but fourteen. This would give the following option:
* 13 turning 14 in 282 AC, placing his birth in 268 AC

As previously established, Petyr cannot have been 14 turning 15 in 282 AC, as it would place his birth before 268 AC.

Petyr Baelish was thus born in {{Date|268}}.

'''''Note:''' Should Petyr have been younger than twenty-nine during {{Date|298}}, his nameday would have occurred later (269, 270 etc.). As seen above, it would not be possible for Petyr to be either fourteen or fifteen during the time Brandon was twenty if this was the case, since it would lead to Petyr being turning 14 after Brandon had already died.''

==Petyr Frey==
===Birth===
According to Edmure Tully, [[Petyr Frey]] is "a year or two" older than Robb Stark,{{Ref|ASOS|49}} who was born in {{Date|283}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Robb Stark|Robb Stark]])''. Being one year older than Robb Stark would place Petyr's birth in 282 AC, being two years older would place his birth in 281 AC.

Petyr has a daughter, who was born in {{Date|294}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Perra Frey|Perra Frey]])''. With the minimum age of twelve at the birth of a firstborn child, this would place Petyr's birth in 282 AC or before.

However, Petyr married his wife [[Mylenda Caron]] at the age of ten, when she was three times his age.{{Ref|ASOS|49}} Mylenda is also mentioned to be twice as old as her husband in {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|ASOS|Epilogue}} This information clarifies matters, because now we can use two linear equations to solve the variables:
<pre>p = Petyr's age at wedding
m = Mylenda's age at wedding
x = years since wedding

m = 3p
m + x = 2 (p + x)

Solving:
m + x = 2p + 2x
m = 2p + x
3p = 2p + x
p = x

if p = 10
then x = 10

Therefore Petyr was 10 then, 20 now; Mylenda was 30 then, 40 now.</pre>

Petyr being twenty in {{Date|300}} and ten in {{Date|290}} gives him the following options:

* 19 turning 20 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 280 AC
* 20 turning 21 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 279 AC

As Robb Stark was born in {{Date|283}}, this eliminates Petyr's option of having been born in 279 AC, as four years is too much to be an estimate of "a year or two older".

Petyr was thus born in {{Date|280}}.

==Pia==
===Birth===
[[Pia]] was a young girl during the Tourney at Harrenhal of 281 AC when she saw Jaime Lannister.{{Ref|ASOS|44}} Being a young girl and recalling that event means that Pia had past her infancy and was at least three years old at the time. This also means she had not reach the age of majority (16 years old) yet. That gives Pia the following options:
* 2 turning 3 in 281 AC, placing her birth in 278 AC
* 15 turning 16 in 281 AC, placing her birth in 265 AC

No further specifications can be given. Pia was thus born in or between {{Date|265}} and {{Date|278}}.

==Podrick Payne==
===Birth===
[[Podrick Payne]] was twelve years old in {{Date|299}}.{{Ref|ACOK|15}} That gives Podrick 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

No further specifications can be given. Podrick was thus born in either {{Date|286}} or {{Date|287}}.

==Prince of Dorne (father of Maron)==
===Birth===
The [[Prince of Dorne (father of Maron)|Prince of Dorne]] was the father of [[Myriah Martell]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Baelor I}} who was born no later than 158 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Myriah Martell|Myriah Martell]])''. He would have been at least twelve years old at the moment of Myriah's birth, so he could have been born no later than 146 AC.

No further specifications can be given. He was thus born in or before {{Date|146}}.

===Death===
The [[Prince of Dorne (father of Maron)|Prince of Dorne]] made peace with King Baelor I Targaryen in 161 AC.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Baelor I}} Therefore, he could have died no earlier than 161 AC.

He was succeeded by his son, [[Maron Martell]], as Prince of Dorne and Lord of Sunspear.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}} As Maron is known to have been the ruling Prince of Dorne by 174 AC,{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}} Maron's father could have died no later than 174 AC.

No further specifications can be given. He thus died in or between {{Date|161}} and {{Date|174}}.

==Princess of Dorne (mother of Doran)==
===Birth===
The [[Princess of Dorne (mother of Doran)|Princess of Dorne]] gave birth to her first child, [[Doran Martell]], in either 247 or 248 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Doran Martell|Doran Martell]])''. The Princess was at least 12 years old at Doran's birth. Thus, she was born no later than 236 AC.

She gave birth to her last child, [[Oberyn Martell]] in either 257 or 258 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Oberyn Martell|Oberyn Martell]])''. A mother is no older than ~52 years old at the birth of her youngest child. Therefore, the Princess was born no earlier than ~205 AC

No further specifications can be given. The Princess of Dorne was thus born in or between ~{{Date|205}} and {{Date|236}}.

===Death===
According to [[Oberyn Martell]], the Princess arranged [[Elia Martell]]'s betrothal to [[Rhaegar Targaryen]],{{Ref|ASOS|70}} which was announced in {{Date|279}}. The Princess's son, [[Doran Martell]], was the ruler of Dorne by the time Elia married Rhaegar in early {{Date|280}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II}}

No further specifications can be given. The Princess of Dorne thus died in either {{Date|279}} or {{Date|280}}.

==Prudence Celtigar==
===Birth===
[[Prudence Celtigar]] was one of the two daughters of Lord Edwell Celtigar. Her sister was Prunella Celtigar.{{Ref|FAB|The Sons of the Dragon}}{{Ref|FAB|The Year of the Three Brides - 49 AC}} It is not know which sister was the eldest, but it is know they were twelve and thirteen in 47 AC.{{Ref|FAB|The Sons of the Dragon}} As the source of their ages concerns a historical work, following rule #3, Prudence was born in either {{Date|34}} or {{Date|35}}.

==Prunella Celtigar==
===Birth===
[[Prunella Celtigar]] was one of the two daughters of Lord Edwell Celtigar. Her sister was Prudence Celtigar.{{Ref|FAB|The Sons of the Dragon}}{{Ref|FAB|The Year of the Three Brides - 49 AC}} It is not know which sister was the eldest, but it is know they were twelve and thirteen in 47 AC.{{Ref|FAB|The Sons of the Dragon}} As the source of their ages concerns a historical work, following rule #3, Prunella was born in either {{Date|34}} or {{Date|35}}.

==Pycelle==
===Birth===
[[Pycelle]] mentions he was forty-two years old when he was chosen as King Aegon V’s Grand Maester.{{Ref|AFFC|36}} He also mentions he served King Aegon V for a few short months, until Aegon's death in 259 AC.{{Ref|AFFC|36}} Pycelle is eighty-four years old in {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|AFFC|36}}
* 41 turning 42 in 259 AC, placing his birth in 217 AC
* 42 turning 43 in 259 AC, placing his birth in 216 AC

And
* 83 turning 84 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 216 AC
* 84 turning 85 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 215 AC

The only overlapping year is 216 AC. Pycelle was thus born in {{Date|216}}.

==Pylos==
===Birth===
[[Pylos]] is mentioned to have been no older than twenty-five in {{Date|299}}.{{Ref|ACOK|Prologue}} Being twenty-five years old in 299 AC gives the following options:
* 24 turning 25 in 299 AC, placing his birth in 274 AC
* 25 turning 26 in 299 AC, placing his birth in 273 AC

No further specifications can be given. Since Cressen is not certain whether Pylos is actually twenty-five years old in 299 AC, but gives twenty-five as a maximum age for Pylos in 299 AC, we can assume that Pylos is absolutely no older than twenty-five at that moment, but might be a few years younger. Thus it can be concluded that Pylos was born in either {{Date|273}} or {{Date|274}}, possibly a few years later.

{{Alphabetized Navigation}}

==Qalen==
===Death===
[[Qalen]] died when Theon Greyjoy was a ward at Winterfell, in between his depart from Pyke in the aftermath of the Greyjoy's Rebellion in 289 AC and his return in 299 AC.{{Ref|ACOK|11}}

No further specifications can be given. Qalen thus died in or between {{Date|289}} and {{Date|299}}.

==Qoren Martell==
===Birth===
[[Qoren Martell]]'s eldest child, [[Aliandra Martell|Aliandra]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|Dorne: Dorne Against the Dragons}}{{Ref|FAB|Under the Regents - The Voyage of Alyn Oakenfist}} was born in {{Date|115}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Aliandra Martell|Aliandra Martell]])''. Qoren would have been at least twelve years old at the moment of Aliandra's birth, placing his birth no later than 103 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Qoren was thus born in or before {{Date|103}}.

===Death===
[[Qoren Martell]] is known to have still been alive in {{Date|129}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Dorne: Dorne Against the Dragons}} In {{Date|132}}, Princess [[Aliandra Martell]], his eldest child, is known to have very recently come into power.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Dorne: Dorne Against the Dragons}}{{Ref|FAB|Under the Regents - The Hooded Hand}}

No further specifications can be given. Qoren thus died in or between {{Date|129}} and {{Date|132}}.

==Quenton Greyjoy==
===Birth===
[[Quenton Greyjoy]] was the second son of Quellon Greyjoy.{{Ref|AFFC|1}} Thus, he would have been at least one year younger than his older brother Harlon. Harlon was born no earlier than 253 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Harlon Greyjoy|Harlon Greyjoy]])'', placing Quenton's birth no earlier than one year later, in 254 AC.

Quenton would have been at least one year older than Donel, Quellon's third son.{{Ref|AFFC|1}} Donel was born in 262 AC the latest ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Donel Greyjoy|Donel Greyjoy]])'', indicating that Quenton was born no later than one year prior, in 261 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Quenton was thus born in or between {{Date|254}} and {{Date|261}}.

==Quenton Hightower==
===Death===
[[Quenton Hightower]] died when Grand Maester Pycelle was still a boy learning at the Citadel of Oldtown.{{Ref|AFFC|8}} As Pycelle was born in 216 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Pycelle|Pycelle]])'', he reached the age of majority in 232 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Quenton thus died in or between {{Date|216}} and {{Date|232}}.

==Quentyn Blackwood==
===Death===
[[Quentyn Blackwood]] was killed three years prior to the Ashford Tourney in {{Date|209}},{{Ref|THK}} placing his death in {{Date|206}}.

==Quentyn Martell==
===Birth===
[[Quentyn Martell]] mentions he is eighteen years old during {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|ADWD|6}} This leaves the options:
* 17 turning 18 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 282 AC
* 18 turning 19 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 281 AC

Quentyn received his knighthood at the age of eighteen,{{Ref|awoiaf| Quentyn Martell}} prior to leaving Dorne. Quentyn receiving his knighthood cannot have happened in {{Date|300}}. Quentyn refused his uncle Oberyn to knight him, accepting knighthood from Lord Anders Yronwood instead.{{Ref|AFFC|13}} Since Oberyn Martell travelled away from Dorne in late {{Date|299}}{{Ref|ASOS|38}} and did not return alive, Quentyn's refusal of Oberyn occurred in 299 AC. Secondly Lord Anders cannot have knighted Quentyn in 300 AC, as he went with his army to the Prince's Pass in 299 AC,{{Ref|ACOK|41}}{{Ref|ACOK|42}} while Quentyn remained at Yronwood,{{Ref|ADWD|6}}{{Ref|ADWD|68}} demonstrating that Anders would have knighted Quentyn in 299 AC, prior to departing Yronwood. Thus, as Quentyn was knighted in 299 AC, and was 18 upon receiving his knighthood, he would have been eighteen years old in both 299 AC as well as 300 AC, thereby demonstrating that Quentyn was thus 17 turning 18 in 299 AC and 18 turning 19 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 281 AC.

Quentyn Martell was thus born in {{Date|281}}.

==Quort==
===Birth===
[[Quort]] was judged to be no older than fourteen years old in {{Date|299}}. He already has conceived a child.{{Ref|ASOS|41}}. Since boys become fertile from the age of 12, Quort will have been between the ages of twelve and fourteen in 299 AC, placing his birth in or between {{Date|285}} and {{Date|287}}.

==Qyburn==
===Birth===
[[Qyburn]] is mentioned to not be as old as Pycelle.{{Ref|AFFC|3}} Pycelle was born in {{Date|216}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Pycelle|Pycelle]])''. This places Qyburn's birth no earlier than {{Date|217}}, but most likely later. No further specifications can be given.

==Qyle Martell==
===Birth===
[[Qyle Martell]] was the younger brother of Aliandra Martell,{{Ref|FAB|Under the Regents - The Voyage of Alyn Oakenfist}} who was born in 115 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Aliandra Martell|Aliandra Martell]])''. Since Aliandra and Qyle were not twins, there is at least one year in between their births. Thus 116 AC is the earliest possible year of birth for Qyle.

In 132 AC Qyle was angered by the attention his sister Aliandra lavished upon Lord [[Alyn Velaryon]].{{Ref|FAB|Under the Regents - The Voyage of Alyn Oakenfist}}

No further specifications can be given. Qyle was thus born in or between {{Date|116}} and {{Date|132}}.

'''''Note:''' In 132 AC, the regents of Aegon III suggested "a younger brother of the Princess of Dorne" as a potential husband for Lady Baela Targaryen.{{Ref|FAB|Under the Regents - The Hooded Hand}} If Qyle is this younger brother, it would imply he was born closer to 116 AC than to 132 AC.''

'''Bellenora Otherys''' was the eldest of the three bastard children of King [[Aegon IV Targaryen]] and his fourth mistress, [[Bellegere Otherys]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|4|11}}

==Appearance==
{{See also|:Category:Images of Bellenora Otherys|l1=Images of Bellenora Otherys}}
Bellenora was said to be the most beautiful woman in all the world.{{Ref|TWoIaF|8|2|7}}

==History==
After Princess [[Naerys Targaryen]] had almost died giving birth in {{Date|161}}, her husband, Prince [[Aegon IV Targaryen|Aegon]] was sent to [[Braavos]] as an envoy, so Naerys would have sufficient time to recover. In Braavos, Aegon met Bellegere Otherys, with whom he started an affair. Aegon and Bellegere had an affair for ten years, during which Bellegere gave birth to three children: Bellenora, [[Narha Otherys|Narha]] and [[Balerion Otherys|Balerion]]. Their paternity remains doubtful, as Bellegere is said to have had a husband in every port she visited.{{Ref|TWOIAF|4|11}}

Bellenora became a courtesan and took the name of "[[Black Pearl of Braavos]]", acclaimed by singers of her day as the most beautiful woman in all the world.{{Ref|TWoIaF|8|2|7}} The courtesan tradition was continued by her daughter.{{Ref|AFfC|34}}{{Ref|TWoIaF|8|2|7}}

Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages

2026-09-04T20:07:10Z

Somnium Draconis: /* Bellenora Otherys */

__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 (Continued)|page 2]], [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)|page 3]] or [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)|page 4]]. You are currently on page 1.}}
{{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:<ref group="N">However there are exceptions, like [[Duncan the Tall]] being a squire when he was six years old or [[Daemon Blackfyre]] being knighted when he was twelve years old.</ref>
##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 possible birth year 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 in accordance with their page name, so they can be distinguished from one another.

==Addam Hightower==
===Birth===
[[Addam Hightower]] was the father of Manfred Hightower,<ref>asoiaf.westeros.org: [SPOILERS] Family trees and successions - [https://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?/topic/152622-spoilers-family-trees-and-successions/&do=findComment&comment=8276294 Hightower relations (December 13, 2018)]</ref> who was born at the latest in {{Date|-10}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Manfred Hightower (son of Addam)|Manfred Hightower (son of Addam)]])''. Addam would have been at least twelve years old at the moment of Manfred's birth, meaning that 22 BC is the latest possible year of birth for Addam.

No further specifications can be given. Addam was thus born in or before {{Date|-22}}.

===Death===
[[Addam Hightower]] succeeded his father, Manfred Hightower, as Lord of the Hightower when Manfred died. Manfred died "soon after" Oldtown had been attacked in 10 AC.{{Ref|FAB|Reign of the Dragon - The Wars of King Aegon I}} It is unknown how much time passed between the attack and Manfred's death. As 10 AC is the first possible moment for Manfred's death, Addam is known to have lived at least until 10 AC as well, placing his death no earlier than 10 AC.

Eventually, Addam was himself succeeded by his son, also named Manfred.{{Ref|FAB|The Sons of the Dragon}} Manfred already ruled Oldtown by {{Date|23}},{{Ref|FAB|The Sons of the Dragon}} demonstrating that Addam died no later than 23 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Addam thus died in or between {{Date|10}} and {{Date|23}}.

==Addam Osgrey==
===Birth===
[[Addam Osgrey]] was twelve years old in {{Date|196}}.{{Ref|TSS}} That gives him the following options:
* 11 turning 12 in 196 AC, placing his birth in 184 AC
* 12 turning 13 in 196 AC, placing his birth in 183 AC

No further specifications can be given. Addam was thus born in either {{Date|183}} or {{Date|184}}.

==Aegon Blackfyre==
===Birth===
[[Aegon Blackfyre]] was twelve years old when he died in {{Date|196}}.<ref name=GreatBastards>[[So Spake Martin]]: [https://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/Concerning_the_Great_Bastards/ Concerning the Great Bastards (April 06, 2004)]</ref>{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}}
Being twelve years old in 196 AC gives the following options:
* 11 turning 12 in 196 AC, placing his birth in 184 AC
* 12 turning 13 in 196 AC, placing his birth in 183 AC

Aegon's father, Daemon Blackfyre, married Aegon's mother, Rohanne of Tyrosh, in {{Date|184}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}} That means that Aegon could not have been conceived earlier than 184 AC.

This eliminates 183 AC as a possible birth year for Aegon, leaving only {{Date|184}}.

==Aegon Frey (son of Aenys)==
===Birth===
[[Aegon Frey (son of Aenys)|Aegon Frey]] is at least one year older than his younger brother Rhaegar. Rhaegar was born no later than {{Date|274}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Rhaegar Frey|Rhaegar Frey]])'', meaning that Aegon was born no later than one year before, in 273 AC.

Aegon was the firstborn child of his father, Aenys Frey. Aenys was born no earlier than {{Date|238}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Aenys Frey|Aenys Frey]])'', meaning that Aegon was born no earlier than twelve years after 238 AC, placing his first possible moment of birth in 250 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Aegon was thus born in or between {{Date|250}} and {{Date|273}}.

==Aegon Frey (son of Stevron)==
===Birth===
[[Aegon Frey (son of Stevron)|Aegon Frey]] appears to be fifty years old in {{Date|299}}.{{Ref|ASOS|49}} That would place his birth roughly in 249 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Aegon was thus born roughly in {{Date|249}}.

==Aegon V Targaryen==
===Birth===
[[Aegon V Targaryen|Aegon Targaryen]] was judged to be eight or nine in {{Date|209}}.{{Ref|THK}} Aegon being eight or nine in 209 AC would give the following options:
* 7 turning 8 in 209 AC, placing his birth in 201 AC
* 8 turning 9 in 209 AC, placing his birth in 200 AC
* 9 turning 10 in 209 AC, placing his birth in 199 AC

Aegon was known to have been ten years old in {{Date|211}}{{Ref|TSS}} and eleven years old in {{Date|212}}.{{Ref|TMK}}
This leaves the following options:
* 9 turning 10 in 211 AC, and 10 turning 11 in 212 AC, placing his birth in 201 AC
* 10 turning 11 in 211 AC, and 11 turning 12 in 212 AC, placing his birth in 200 AC

In addition, Aegon is stated to have been twenty years old in {{Date|220}} when he got married.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon V}} As the last source of his age concerns a historical work, following rule #3, Aegon was born in 200 AC.

Aegon was thus born in {{Date|200}}.

==Aegon Targaryen (son of Gaemon)==
===Birth===
[[Aegon Targaryen (son of Gaemon)|Aegon Targaryen]]'s eldest child, [[Maegon Targaryen]],{{Ref|FAB|Aegon's Conquest}} was born no later than 68 BC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Maegon Targaryen|Maegon Targaryen]])''. Aegon would have been at least twelve years old at the birth, he would have been born no later than 80 BC.

When Aegon's grandfather, [[Aenar Targaryen]], fled Valyria for Dragonstone in 114 BC, he took with him all his kin, including his children.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Reign of the Dragons: The Conquest}}{{Ref|FAB|Aegon's Conquest}} Aegon was not yet born at the time, therefore he would have been born no earlier than 114 BC.

No further specifications can be given. Aegon was thus born in or between {{Date|-114}} and {{Date|-80}}.

==Aegon Targaryen (son of Rhaegar)==
===Birth===
''The World of Ice & Fire'' states that on the last day of {{Date|281}} it began to snow in King's Landing, and that it took only a fortnight for the Blackwater to freeze. That caused King Aerys II to command the pyromancers "to drive the winter off with their magics", which led to the pyromancers burning their wildfire along the walls of the Red Keep for a month. It is then stated that Rhaegar Targaryen was not at King's Landing at that moment, nor was he at Dragonstone "with Princess Elia and their young son, Aegon", as he had taken to the road "with the coming of the new year".{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Fall of the Dragons: The Year of the False Spring}} When exactly Rhaegar left is unclear. As such, it is known that [[Aegon Targaryen (son of Rhaegar)|Aegon Targaryen]] had been born by early 282 AC.

Elia Martell married Prince Rhaegar in {{Date|280}}, and their first child, Rhaenys, was born later that same year.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II}} This means that Elia and Rhaegar were married within the first three months of the year, and Rhaenys was thus born within the last three months of the year. After Rhaenys' birth, Elia went on bedrest for half a year.{{Ref|ADWD|61}} With Rhaenys's birth within the last three months of the year, Elia's bedrest would have lasted until any point in either the fourth, fifth or sixth month of 281 AC. ''(Note that Elia's bedrest might not have lasted precisely six months.)'' Aegon will have been conceived after Elia's bedrest had ended, and with a nine month pregnancy, he will thus have been born no earlier than very late in the year 281 AC, and no later than very early 282 AC. Per the visions in the [[House of the Undying]], Rhaegar was with Elia when he named Aegon.{{Ref|ACOK|48}} Rhaegar left Elia and Aegon in early {{Date|282}}, thereby confirming that Aegon cannot have been born later than very early 282 AC.

When asked, ''The World of Ice & Fire'' co-author Elio Garcia stated that, in regards to the year of Aegon's birth, "''George, too, is unclear on this point.''"<ref>asoiaf.westeros.org: [TWOIAF Spoilers] Inconsistency or Intentional? - [https://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?/topic/119534-twoiaf-spoilers-inconsistency-or-intentional/&do=findComment&comment=6435302 Comment by Ran (November 9, 2014)]</ref>

No further specifications can be given. Aegon was thus born in either late {{Date|281}} or very early {{Date|282}}.

===Death===
[[Aegon Targaryen (son of Rhaegar)|Aegon Targaryen]] died during the Sack of King's Landing. The Sack of King's Landing took place in {{Date|283}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Events#Robert's Rebellion/War of the Usurper|Robert's Rebellion/War of the Usurper]]'').

Aegon thus died in {{Date|283}}.

==Aegor Rivers==
===Birth===
[[Aegor Rivers]] is known to have been twenty-four years old at the Battle of the Redgrass Field in {{Date|196}}.<ref name=GreatBastards/> This would give Aegor the following options:
*23 turning 24 in 196 AC, placing his birth in 172 AC
*24 turning 25 in 196 AC, placing his birth in 171 AC

Aegor's mother, Barba Bracken, gave birth to Aegor after Aegon had ascended to the throne. Aegon ascended to the throne in {{Date|172}},{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}} ruling out 171 AC as a possible year of birth.

In addition, Aegor was born a fortnight before Princess Daenerys, who was born in {{Date|172}},{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}} and after Aegon IV had become king in 172 AC.

Aegor was thus born in {{Date|172}}.

===Death===
Aegor Rivers was sixty-nine years old when he died.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon V}} As Aegor had been born in {{Date|172}}, following rule #3, this means that Aegor died in {{Date|241}}.

==Aelor Targaryen==
===Birth===
[[Aelor Targaryen]] and his twin sister Aelora were the eldest children of Prince Rhaegel Targaryen,{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Targaryen Lineage}} who was born in {{Date|173}} at the earliest ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Rhaegel Targaryen|Rhaegel Targaryen]])''. As Rhaegel will have been at least twelve years old at the birth of his twins, this places Aelor's birth no earlier than {{Date|185}}. However, in {{Date|211}}, Aelor and his twin are mentioned as Rhaegel's children, with the description of them still being "children",{{Ref|TSS}} indicating they were still young at the time, and thus that Aelor had not yet reached manhood, therefore had not yet turned sixteen.<ref name=Majority>[[So Spake Martin]]: [https://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/Age_of_Majority/ Age of Majority (November 4, 1999)]</ref> As it is possible Aelor would turn sixteen later than year, this places his birth no earlier than {{Date|195}}.

Aelor is known to have been born by {{Date|209}}.{{Ref|THK}}

No further specifications can be given. Aelor was thus born in or between {{Date|195}} and {{Date|209}}.

'''''Note:''' On first meeting Aerion Targaryen, who is about his own age, Duncan the Tall judges that he might be one of the sons of Baelor, Maekar, or Rhaegel Targaryen based on his age.{{Ref|THK}} Dunk was born in {{Date|193}} ''(See [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Duncan the Tall|Duncan the Tall]])'', suggesting Aelor was likely born closer to 195 AC than 209 AC.''

==Aelora Targaryen==
===Birth===
[[Aelora Targaryen]] and her twin brother Aelor were the eldest children of Prince Rhaegel Targaryen,{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Targaryen Lineage}} who was born in {{Date|173}} at the earliest ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Rhaegel Targaryen|Rhaegel Targaryen]])''. As Rhaegel will have been at least twelve years old at the birth of his twins, this places Aelora's birth no earlier than {{Date|185}}. However, in {{Date|211}}, Aelora and her twin are mentioned as Rhaegel's children, with the description of them still being "children",{{Ref|TSS}} indicating they were still young at the time, and thus that Aelora had not yet reached the age of majority, therefore had not yet turned sixteen.<ref name=Majority/> As it is possible Aelora would turn sixteen later than year, this places her birth no earlier than {{Date|195}}.

Aelora's twin brother Aelor is known to have been born by {{Date|209}},{{Ref|THK}} meaning she too was born by that point as well.

No further specifications can be given. Aelora was thus born in or between {{Date|195}} and {{Date|209}}.

'''''Note:''' On first meeting Aerion Targaryen, who is about his own age, Duncan the Tall judges that he might be one of the sons of Baelor, Maekar, or Rhaegel Targaryen based on his age.{{Ref|THK}} Dunk was born in {{Date|193}} ''(See the [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Duncan the Tall|Duncan the Tall]] calculation)'', suggesting Aelor was likely born closer to 195 AC than 209 AC. As Aelor's twin, the same would apply to Aelora.

===Death===
[[Aelora Targaryen]] outlived her brother-husband, Prince Aelor Targaryen, who died in 217 AC.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys I}} However, she did not outlived her uncle, King Aerys I Targaryen, who died in 221 AC as Aerys's last heir before his death was his brother, Prince Maekar Targaryen.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys I}}

No further specifications can be given. Aelora thus died in or between {{Date|217}} and {{Date|221}}.

==Aelyx Targaryen==
===Birth===
[[Aelyx Targaryen]] would have been at least one year older than his younger brother, [[Baelon Targaryen (son of Aerys)|Baelon Targaryen]].{{Ref|FAB|Aegon's Conquest}} As the latest possible year of birth for Baelon is 54 BC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Baelon Targaryen (son of Aerys)|Baelon Targaryen (son of Aerys)]])'', Aelyx would have been born no later than 55 BC.

Aelyx Targaryen was the first child of Lord [[Aerys Targaryen (son of Aegon)|Aerys Targaryen]],{{Ref|FAB|Aegon's Conquest}} who was born at the earliest in 101 BC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Aerys Targaryen (son of Aegon)|Aerys Targaryen (son of Aegon)]])''. Aerys would have been at least twelve years old at the moment of Aelyx's birth, meaning that 89 BC is the earliest possible year of birth for Aelyx.

No further specifications can be given. Aelyx was thus born in or between {{Date|-89}} and {{Date|-55}}.

==Aemon Blackfyre==
===Birth===
[[Aemon Blackfyre]] was twelve years old when he died, in 196 AC.<ref name=GreatBastards/>
Being twelve years old in 196 AC gives the following options:
* 11 turning 12 in 196 AC, placing his birth in 184 AC
* 12 turning 13 in 196 AC, placing his birth in 183 AC

Aemon's father, Daemon Blackfyre, married Aemons mother, Rohanne of Tyrosh, in 184 AC.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}} That means that Aemon could not have been conceived earlier than 184 AC.

This eliminates 183 AC as a possible birth year for Aemon, leaving only {{Date|184}}.

==Aemon Targaryen (son of Maekar I)==
===Birth===
[[Aemon Targaryen (son of Maekar I)|Aemon Targaryen]] is stated to have been born in {{Date|198}} in ''[[A World of Ice and Fire]]''.{{Ref|AWOIAF|Aemon}}

'''''Note:''' In addition, it is known that Aemon went to the Citadel at the age of 9 or 10.{{Ref|ACOK|6}} It is also known that Aemon was at the Citadel during the Ashford Tourney in {{Date|209}} already.<ref>[[So Spake Martin]]: [https://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/Many_Questions/ Many Questions (October 14, 1998)]</ref> With Aemon's birth having been in 198 AC, he would have turned 9 in 207 AC, and 10 in 208 AC, showing that Aemon either went to the Citadel in {{Date|207}}, {{Date|208}} or {{Date|209}} (9 turning 10).''

==Aemon Targaryen (son of Viserys II)==
===Death===
[[Aemon Targaryen (son of Viserys II)|Aemon Targaryen]] is known to have died defending his brother, King Aegon IV Targaryen, from the brothers of Ser Terrence Toyne. Terrence's brothers wanted to take revenge for Terrence's death, which occurred in {{Date|178}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}} It is unknown how long after his death, Terrence's brothers tried to take revenge.

It is known that both Aemon and Naerys, his sister, died during Aegon IV's reign, and that Naerys died a year after Aemon.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}} Aegons reign ended in {{Date|184}}, meaning that Naerys's last possible year of death was 184 AC. And thus Aemons last possible year of death was 183 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Aemon thus died in or between {{Date|178}} and {{Date|183}}.

==Aenar Targaryen==
===Birth===
[[Aenar Targaryen]] took his children, [[Daenys Targaryen|Daenys]] and [[Gaemon Targaryen (son of Aenar)|Gaemon Targaryen]], with him when he fled [[Valyria]] in 114 BC.{{Ref|FAB|Aegon's Conquest}} Aenar's exile was motivated by a vision foretelling the destruction of Valyria that Daenys had when she was a maiden, meaning that Daenys was born no later than 12 years prior, in 126 BC. Furthermore, Daenys being born in no later than 126 BC means that Aenar was born at least twelve years prior to that date, in 138 BC.

No further specifications can be given. Aenar was thus born in or before {{Date|-138}}.

===Death===
[[Aenar Targaryen]] was still alive when the [[Doom of Valyria]] occurred in 102 BC.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Ancient History: The Doom of Valyria}}

No further specifications can be given. Aenar thus died in {{Date|-102}} or after.

==Aenys Blackfyre==
===Birth===
[[Aenys Blackfyre]] was at least a year younger than his elder brother, Haegon I Blackfyre, who was born in 190 AC the earliest ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Haegon I Blackfyre|Haegon I Blackfyre]])''. This means that one year later, 191 AC, is the first possible year of birth for Aenys.

Aenys had two younger brothers.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Maekar I}} All of the children of Daemon I had been born before the First Blackfyre Rebellion began in early {{Date|196}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}} That means that 196 AC, early in the year, is the last possible moment for Aenys's youngest brother to have been born. Which, in turn, means that 194 AC is the last possible year of birth for Aenys.

No further specifications can be given. Aenys was thus born in or between {{Date|191}} and {{Date|194}}.

==Aenys Frey==
===Birth===
[[Aenys Frey]] is at least one year younger than his older brother Emmon, who was born in {{Date|237}} or {{Date|238}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Emmon Frey|Emmon Frey]])''. Therefore Aenys could have been born no earlier than 238 AC.

Aenys is older than his younger sister Perianne by at least one year. Perianne was born in 249 AC the latest ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Perriane Frey|Perriane Frey]])'', meaning that Aenys was born no later than one year before, in 248 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Aenys was thus born in or between {{Date|238}} and {{Date|248}}.

==Aerion Targaryen==
===Birth===
[[Aerion Targaryen]] was the second born son of Maekar I Targaryen. This means that Aerion was born at least 1 year after his older brother Daeron. Daeron was born in 190 AC the earliest ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Daeron Targaryen (son of Maekar I)|Daeron Targaryen (son of Maekar I)]])'', meaning that Aerion was born no earlier than 191 AC.

Aerion was allowed to participate in the Tourney at Ashford in {{Date|209}},{{Ref|THK}} meaning he would have been at least 15 years old. The last possible year Aerion could have turned 15 was thus 209 AC, meaning that he would have been born in 194 AC the latest.

Ser Duncan the Tall judged Aerion to be near his own age (with Duncan who thinks of himself being 16 or 17 years old) in 209 AC.{{Ref|THK}} However, “near his own age” can also mean a year or so older or younger, thus Aerion could be born between 191 AC and 194 AC, which offers no further specification.

No further specifications can be given. Aerion was thus born in or between {{Date|191}} and {{Date|194}}.

==Aerion Targaryen (son of Daemion)==
===Birth===
[[Aerion Targaryen (son of Daemion)|Aerion Targaryen]]'s eldest child, [[Visenya Targaryen]],{{Ref|FAB|Aegon's Conquest}} was born in 29 BC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Visenya Targaryen|Visenya Targaryen]])''. Aerion would have been at least twelve years old at the birth, Aerion would have been born no later than 41 BC.

Aerion was the only child of Lord [[Daemion Targaryen]].{{Ref|FAB|Aegon's Conquest}} As the earliest possible year of birth for Daemion is 87 BC, ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Daemion Targaryen|Daemion Targaryen]])'', Aerion would have been born no earlier than twelve years later, in 75 BC.

No further specifications can be given. Aerion was thus born in or between {{Date|-75}} and {{Date|-41}}.

===Death===
[[Aerion Targaryen (son of Daemion)|Aerion Targaryen]] was succeeded as Lord of Dragonstone by his son, [[Aegon I Targaryen]].{{Ref|FAB|Aegon's Conquest}} As Lord of Dragonstone, Aegon is known to have visited the Arbor and the Citadel of Oldtown, aided Pentos and Tyrosh against Volantis, then returned to Dragonstone where he planned his conquest of Westeros.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Ancient History: The Doom of Valyria}} As the conquest started in 2 BC,{{Ref|FAB|Aegon's Conquest}} Aerion would have died no later than 2 BC, though most likely before.

Aerion's youngest child, [[Rhaenys Targaryen]],{{Ref|FAB|Aegon's Conquest}} was born no earlier than 26 BC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Rhaenys Targaryen|Rhaenys Targaryen]])''. Therefore Aerion died no earlier than 27 BC, since his daughter's conception could have happened in either the year of her birth or the previous year.

No further specifications can be given. Aerion thus died in or between {{Date|-27}} and {{Date|-2}}.

==Aeron Greyjoy==
===Birth===
[[Aeron Greyjoy]] was sixteen years old or older when he named his ship ''The Golden Storm''.{{Ref|AFFC|1}} Aeron's ship went down during the Greyjoy Rebellion in {{Date|289}},{{Ref|AFFC|1}} showing that Aeron had turned sixteen at least by 289 AC, placing his birth no later than 273 AC.

Aeron's brother Urrigon was fourteen years old when he died,{{Ref|AFFC|1}} in 283 AC.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Iron Islands: The Old Ways and the New}} Aeron was younger than Urrigon, making him thirteen or younger in 283 AC. If Aeron was 13 years old in 283 AC, he was born in either 270 AC (12 turning 13 in 283 AC), or 269 AC (13 turning 14 in 283 AC). This places Aeron's birth in 269 AC or later.

No further specifications can be given. Aeron was thus born in or between {{Date|269}} and {{Date|273}}.

==Aerys I Targaryen==
===Birth===
[[Aerys I Targaryen|Aerys Targaryen]] was the secondborn son of King Daeron II Targaryen. This means that he was born at least one year after his elder brother Baelor, who was born in 170 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Baelor Targaryen (son of Daeron II)|Baelor Targaryen (son of Daeron II)]])''. This would make Aerys's first possible year of birth 171 AC.

However, it is stated that Aerys' aunt Daenerys was born after Daeron II, Aerys' father, himself already had a son, not “sons”, thereby indicating that Daenerys was born after Baelor, but before Aerys. Daenerys was born in 172 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Daenerys Targaryen (daughter of Aegon IV)|Daenerys Targaryen (daughter of Aegon IV)]])'', so the earliest that Aerys could have been born, would be the year 172 AC (placing his birth behind Daenerys’ birth in the year).

Aerys was older than his brother Maekar, who was born the latest in 179 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Maekar I Targaryen|Maekar I Targaryen]])''. Between Aerys and Maekar is one other brother, meaning that Aerys was born at least two years before Maekar. This makes 177 AC the last possible year of birth for Aerys.

No further specifications can be given. Aerys was thus born in or between {{Date|172}} and {{Date|177}}.

==Aerys II Targaryen==
===Birth===
[[Aerys II Targaryen|Aerys Targaryen]] was eighteen years old when he came into his throne in 262 AC.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II}} This gives Aerys the following options:
* 17 turning 18 in 262 AC, placing his birth in 244 AC
* 18 turning 19 in 262 AC, placing his birth in 243 AC

As the source for Aerys's age concerns a historical work, rule #3 applies, placing Aerys's birth in 244 AC.

Aerys was thus born in {{Date|244}}.

==Aerys Targaryen (son of Aegon)==
===Birth===
[[Aerys Targaryen (son of Aegon)|Aerys Targaryen]]'s eldest child, [[Aelyx Targaryen]],{{Ref|FAB|Aegon's Conquest}} was born no later than 55 BC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Aelyx Targaryen|Aelyx Targaryen]])''. Aerys would have been at least twelve years old at the birth, he would have been born no later than 67 BC.

Aerys Targaryen would have been at least one year younger than his older brother, [[Maegon Targaryen]].{{Ref|FAB|Aegon's Conquest}} As the earliest possible year of birth for Maegon is 102 BC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Maegon Targaryen|Maegon Targaryen]])'', Aerys would have been born no earlier than 101 BC.

No further specifications can be given. Aerys was thus born in or between {{Date|-101}} and {{Date|-67}}.

==Aethan Velaryon==
===Birth===
[[Aethan Velaryon]]'s eldest son, Daemon,{{Ref|FAB|The Sons of the Dragon}} had been born at the latest in 1 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Daemon Velaryon (son of Aethan)|Daemon Velaryon (son of Aethan)]])''. Aethan would have been at least twelve years old at the moment of Daemon's birth, meaning that he could not have been born any later than 11 BC.

No further specifications can be given. Aethan was thus born in or before {{Date|-11}}.

===Death===
Aethan is known to have still been alive in 42 AC.{{Ref|FAB|The Sons of the Dragon}} By 47 AC, his son [[Daemon Velaryon (son of Aethan)|Daemon]] had succeeded him as [[Lord of the Tides]] and [[Master of Driftmark]],{{Ref|FAB|The Sons of the Dragon}} demonstrating that Aethan had died by 47 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Aethan thus died in or between {{Date|42}} and {{Date|47}}.

==Alan Beesbury==
===Birth===
[[Alan Beesbury]] had been knighted by {{Date|129}},{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - The Red Dragon and the Gold}} meaning that he was at least fifteen years old by then. This places his birth no later than 114 AC.

Moreover, Alan was the grandson of [[Lyman Beesbury]],{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - The Red Dragon and the Gold}} who had been born in {{Date|49}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Lyman Beesbury|Lyman Beesbury]])''. Lyman would have been at least twelve years old at the birth of Alan's father, and at least twenty-four years old at Alan's birth. As such, Alan was born no earlier than 73 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Alan was thus born in or between {{Date|73}} and {{Date|114}}.

==Alannys Harlaw==
===Birth===
[[Alannys Harlaw]]'s oldest child, [[Rodrik Greyjoy]], was born no later than 274 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Rodrik Greyjoy|Rodrik Greyjoy]])''. Alannys would have been at least 12 years old at the time of his birth, meaning she was born no later than {{Date|262}}.

Her youngest child, [[Theon Greyjoy]], was born in 279 AC at the latest ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Theon Greyjoy|Theon Greyjoy]])''. According to rule #5, she would be no older than 52 years old at the time of his birth. Therefore, Alannys was born in {{Date|227}} at the earliest.

No further specifications can be given. Alannys was thus born in or between {{Date|227}} and {{Date|262}}.

==Alayaya==

* 17 turning 18 in 106 AC, placing her birth in 88 AC
* 18 turning 19 in 106 AC, placing her birth in 87 AC

However, as the source for Alicent's age in 106 AC concerns a historical work, rule #3 applies, placing her birth in 88 AC. Alicent was thus born in {{Date|88}}.

==Alla Tyrell==
===Birth===
[[Alla Tyrell]] is known to be close to Sansa Stark's age.{{Ref|ASOS|6}} Sansa Stark was born in {{Date|286}}. This places Alla's birth roughly around {{Date|286}} as well.

==Alyn Haigh==
===Birth===
[[Alyn Haigh]] is at least one year younger than his older brother Donnel. Donnel was born in 252 AC the earliest ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Donnel Haigh|Donnel Haigh]])'', meaning that Alyn was born at least one year later, in 253 AC.

Alyn is a squire, a position which can be granted to a child from the age of 8.<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> This means that Alyn cannot be younger than 8 years in {{Date|299}}, meaning the youngest Alyn can be is 7 turning 8 in {{Date|299}}, which would place his birth in 291 AC. So Alyn was born no later than 291 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Alyn was thus born in or between {{Date|253}} and {{Date|291}}.

==Alyn Velaryon==
===Death===
[[Alyn Velaryon]] had bastard twins with Princess Elaena Targaryen, after Elaena was freed from the Maidenvault in {{Date|171}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Baelor I}} Alyn went away, by ship, and never returned. It is unknown when Alyn left Westeros, but a year after his disappearance, Elaena gave up hope for his return, and agreed to wed elsewhere.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Baelor I}} This marriage was Elaena's first, to Ossifer Plumm, in {{Date|176}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Baelor I}} Thus, by 176 AC, Alyn had already died (or so history would record it).

As it is unknown how much time passed between Elaena agreeing to marry elsewhere, and her actually marrying in 176 AC, it is technically possible that Alyn's disappearance occurred rather quickly after Elaena having been freed from the Maidenvault. Therefore, Alyn's death can only be said to have occurred no earlier than 171 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Alyn thus died in or between {{Date|171}} and {{Date|176}}.

'''''Note:''' As it is most likely that only little time passed between Elaena agreeing to marry elsewhere, and Elaena actually marrying, Alyn's actual disappearance seems to have appeared closer to 176 AC than to 171 AC.''

==Alys Arryn==
===Birth===
[[Alys Arryn]] was the younger sister of Jon Arryn.{{Ref|AFFC|41}} Jon Arryn was born in or between ~218 AC and ~220 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Jon Arryn|Jon Arryn]])'', so Alys was born at least one year after Jon's first possible year of birth, placing her birth in ~219 AC or after.

Alys gave birth to nine children, first eight daughters, then one son. The youngest of the daughters gave birth to a son, Harrold Hardyng.{{Ref|AFFC|41}} Harrold was born in either 281 AC or 282 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Harrold Hardyng|Harrold Hardyng]])''. This means that in 282 AC at the latest, Alys' youngest daughter would have been at least 12 years old. In addition, as this concerns Alys's eighth daughter, Alys herself would have been at least 19 years old when this daughter was born, meaning that Alys was at least 31 years old when Harrold was born. That places Alys's birth no later than 251 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Alys was thus born in or between ~{{Date|219}} and {{Date|251}}.

==Alys Arryn (wife of Rhaegel)==
===Birth===

She would have been at least twelve years old at their birth, meaning that 197 AC is her latest possible year of birth.

The earliest year of birth for her youngest child, Daenora, is 196 AC ''(see the [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Daenora Targaryen|Daenora Targaryen]] calculation)''. Following rule #5, Alys would be no older than ~52 at the birth of her youngest child, meaning that the earliest possible year of birth for Alys is ~144 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Alys was thus born between ~{{Date|144}} and {{Date|197}}.

'''''Note:''' Her husband Prince Rhaegel was born between 173 AC and 178 AC ''(See the [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Rhaegel Targaryen|Rhaegel Targaryen]] calculation)''. Given that Targaryen men most often marry women close to their own age, Alys's birth year is likely closer to Rhaegel's birth than otherwise.''

===Death===
The earliest possible year of birth for Alys's last born child is {{Date|196}} ''(See the [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Daenora Targaryen|Daenora Targaryen]] calculation)'', therefore Alys's earliest possible year of death is {{Date|196}}.

No further specifications can be given. Alys thus died in {{Date|196}} or after.

==Alys Karstark==
===Birth===
[[Alys Karstark]] is fifteen years old in {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|ADWD|44}}{{Ref|ADWD|49}} That gives her two options:

No further specifications can be given. Alys was thus born in or before {{Date|183}}.

===Death===
Alys cannot have died before her youngest child, [[Arsa Stark]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} was born. Arsa was born no earlier than {{Date|173}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Arsa Stark|Arsa Stark]])'', so Alys died no earlier than 173 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Alys thus died in {{Date|173}} or after.

==Alys Rivers==
===Birth===
[[Alys Rivers]]' age is disputed by the historical sources but all agree she was at least forty years old in 129 AC,{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - A Son for a Son}} placing Alys' birth in 89 AC at the latest.

Therefore Alys would have been born no earlier than ~192 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Alys was thus born in or between ~{{Date|192}} and {{Date|233}}.

'''''Note:''' Alys is described as a "girl" at the time Jason Lannister deflowered her. This, along with the fact she was a maiden,<ref>''[[The World of Ice & Fire]]: [http://www.georgerrmartin.com/world-of-ice-and-fire-sample/ The Westerlands (unabridged) (georgerrmartin.com)]</ref> suggests she was more likely born nearer to 233 AC than 192 AC.''

===Death===
[[Alys Stackspear]] died giving birth to her son, Damon.<ref name=Westerlands>www.georgerrmartin.com: The World of Ice and Fire - [https://www.georgerrmartin.com/world-of-ice-and-fire-sample/ The Westerlands (unabridged)]</ref> Damon was born in either 244 AC or 245 AC ''(See [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Damon Lannister (son of Jason)|Damon Lannister (son of Jason)]])'', indicating that Alys died in either {{Date|244}} or {{Date|245}}.

==Alys Stark==
===Birth===
[[Alys Stark]] was the second of the four daughters of Lord [[Cregan Stark]] and his second wife, Lady [[Alysanne Blackwood]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} Alys' older sister, [[Sarra Stark]], was born at the earliest in {{Date|133}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Sarra Stark|Sarra Stark]])''. Since Sarra and Alys were not twins,{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} Alys would have been at least one year younger than Sarra. Therefore, the earliest possible year of birth for Alys is 134 AC.

Alys would have been at least one year older than her younger sister, Raya Stark.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} As the latest possible year of birth for Raya is 164 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Raya Stark|Raya Stark]])'', Alys would have been born no later than 163 AC.

===Birth===
[[Alysane Mormont]]'s daughter was nine years old in {{Date|300}},{{Ref|ADWD|42}} and was therefore born in either 291 AC or 290 AC. Alysane would have been at least twelve years old when her daughter was born, placing her birth no later than 279 AC.

Alysane is "almost of an age" with Asha Greyjoy,{{Ref|ADWD|42}} suggesting Alysane is either about a year or two younger, or about a year or two older than Asha.{{#tag:ref|Alys Karstark, born in either 284 AC or 285 AC, is considered to be "almost of an age" with Jon Snow and Robb Stark, who were both born in 283 AC.{{Ref|ADWD|44}} That same year, Bethany Blackwood, born in 291 AC or 292 AC, is considered to be "almost of an age" with King Tommen I Baratheon,{{Ref|ADWD|48}} who was born in 291 AC.|group=N}} Asha was born in either 275 AC or 276 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Asha Greyjoy|Asha Greyjoy]])'', which places Alysane's date of birth in or around 273 AC and 278 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Alysane was thus born in or around {{Date|273}} and {{Date|278}}.

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

==Alysanne Blackwood==
===Birth===
[[Alysanne Blackwood]] is mentioned to have been sixteen years old in {{Date|129}}.{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - The Red Dragon and the Gold}} As her age is mentioned in a historical work, rule #3 applies, placing her birth in 113 AC.

==Alysanne Farman==
===Death===
[[Alysanne Farman]] was the first wife of [[Gerold Lannister]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Lannister Lineage}} It is unknown whether Gerold was a widower at the time he was courting [[Rohanne Webber]] in {{Date|211}},{{Ref|TSS}} or whether after she married [[Eustace Osgrey]], Gerold married Alysanne. However, at some point Alysanne did die, and after her death, Gerold married the widowed Rohanne and had children with her.{{Ref|TWOIAF|7|6|1}} Gerold and Rohanne's first children were the twins Tion and Tywald Lannister,{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Lannister Lineage}} who were born at the latest in {{Date|219}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Tion Lannister|Tion Lannister]] and [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Tywald Lannister|Tywald Lannister]])''.

* 20 turning 21 in 209 AC, placing her birth in 188 AC
* 19 turning 20 in 210 AC, placing her birth in 190 AC

The First Blackfyre Rebellion ended in 196 AC.{{Ref|AWOIAF|Maekar I Targaryen}} Alysanne was seven when she was taken to King's Landing, no earlier than 196 AC. Having been seven years old in 196 AC gives her the following options:
* 6 turning 7 in 196 AC, placing her birth in 189 AC
* 7 turning 8 in 196 AC, placing her birth in 188 AC

It is unknown when the hostages were taken exactly (e.g., in ''a Feast for Crows'', House Blackwood is given six months to send a hostage to King's Landing). Alysanne could not have been sent to King's Landing any earlier than late 196 AC. If Alysanne had been sent to King's Landing as a hostage at a later moment, her birth would have occurred later. None of the three options given above can be eliminated.

No further specifications can be given. Alysanne was thus born in either {{Date|188}}, {{Date|189}}, or {{Date|190}}.

===Death===

Alysanne would have been born at least a year earlier, so she was born no later than 225 AC.

Alysanne's next oldest sibling, [[Berena Stark]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} was born no earlier than 187 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Berena Stark|Berena Stark]])''. Alysanne would have been born at least a year later, therefore she was born no earlier than 188 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Alysanne was thus born in or between {{Date|188}} and {{Date|225}}.

==Alyssa Blackwood==
===Birth===
[[Alyssa Blackwood]]'s eldest child was Lothar Frey. Lothar was born in 266 AC the latest ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Lothar Frey|Lothar Frey]])'', meaning that Alyssa was born no later than 12 years prior, placing her birth no later than 254 AC.

Therefore Alyssa would have been born no earlier than ~217 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Alyssa was thus born in or between ~{{Date|217}} and {{Date|254}}.

===Death===
Alyssa’s youngest child was Tyta Frey, who was born in 269 AC the earliest ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Tyta Frey|Tyta Frey]])''. This means that Alyssa died no earlier than 269 AC.

Alyssa's husband was Walder Frey. She was his fourth wife. Walders fifth wife gave him no children, but Walder sixth wife, Bethany Rosby, did. Bethany's eldest child by Walder was born no later than 278 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Perwyn Frey|Perwyn Frey]])''. This means that Perwyn was conceived no later than 278 AC, and thus that the marriage of Bethany and Walder will have taken place no later than 278 AC. Since it is possible that Walder's fifth wife, [[Sarya Whent]], was married to him only for a short time, before dying, and since it is possible that Walders fourth wife, Alyssa, had died only shortly before Walders marriage to Sarya, Alyssa could have died in early 278 AC the latest.

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

[[Baela Targaryen]] was still alive by the end of the book ''Fire & Blood'' (136 AC).{{Ref|FAB|The Lysene Spring and the End of Regency}}

Baela's niece, Princess Elaena Targaryen, had an affair with Baela's husband, Alyn Velaryon. Elaena had hope to marry Alyn before his disappearance at sea,{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Baelor I}} which occurred at the latest in 176 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Alyn Velaryon|Alyn Velaryon]])''. This implies Baela had passed by then.

No further specifications can be given. Baela thus died in or between {{Date|136}} or {{Date|176}}.

'''''Note:''' [[Rennifer Longwaters]] says that [[Alyn Velaryon]] was married to another when he fell for [[Elaena Targaryen]].{{Ref|AFFC|8}} This may imply that Baela passed away nearer to {{Date|176}} than otherwise, as Elaena, born 150 AC, ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Elaena Targaryen|Elaena Targaryen]])'' was confined to the Maidenvault away from the presence of men from 161 to 171 AC,{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Baelor I}} starting when she was only eleven.<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>''

==Baelish (father of Petyr)==
===Birth===
[[Baelish (father of Petyr)|Lord Baelish]] was the father of Petyr Baelish{{Ref|ACOK|17}} who was born in 268 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Petyr Baelish|Petyr Baelish]])''. He would have been at least twelve years old at Petyr's birth. Therefore, the latest possible year of birth for him is 256 AC.

Lord Baelish fought in the War of the Ninepenny Kings of 260 AC where he befriended Hoster Tully.<ref>[[So Spake Martin]]: [https://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/US_Signing_Tour_Half_Moon_Bay_CA/ US Signing Tour (Half Moon Bay, CA) (November 18, 2005)]</ref>{{Ref|AWOIAF|Petyr Baelish}} Being born in 256 AC would make him a four year old boy at the time of the war which is impossible. He was therefore born several years before 256 AC, although it cannot be stated how many years before.

No further specifications can be given. Lord Baelish was thus born at least several years before {{Date|256}}.

===Death===
[[Baelish (father of Petyr)|Lord Baelish]] died "several years" before the start of the series in 298 AC.{{Ref|AGOT|18}} Therefore he could not have died after 296 AC.

When Catelyn Stark sees Petyr Baelish at the start of the series she remembers of his father's passing and reflects that event makes Petyr a lord now.{{Ref|AGOT|18}} This indicates Petyr had not succeeded his father yet the last time they saw each other when he left Riverrun in 282 AC.{{Ref|AWOIAF|Petyr Baelish}}{{Ref|AGOT|40}} Therefore Lord Baelish could not have died before 282 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Lord Baelish thus died in or between {{Date|282}} and {{Date|296}}.

==Baelon Targaryen (son of Aerys)==
===Birth===
[[Baelon Targaryen (son of Aerys)|Baelon Targaryen]] would have been at least one year older than his younger brother, [[Daemion Targaryen]].{{Ref|FAB|Aegon's Conquest}} As the latest possible year of birth for Daemion is 53 BC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Daemion Targaryen|Daemion Targaryen]])'', Baelon would have been born no later than 54 BC.

Baelon Targaryen would have been at least one year younger than his older brother, [[Aelyx Targaryen]].{{Ref|FAB|Aegon's Conquest}} As the earliest possible year of birth for Aelyx is 89 BC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Aelyx Targaryen|Aelyx Targaryen]])'', Baelon would have been born no earlier than 88 BC.

No further specifications can be given. Baelon was thus born in or between {{Date|-88}} and {{Date|-54}}.

==Baelor Targaryen (son of Daeron II)==
===Birth===
[[Baelor Targaryen (son of Daeron II)|Baelor Targaryen]] was thirty-nine years old when he died in 209 AC.{{Ref|THK}} This gives Baelor the following options:
* 38 turning 39 in 209 AC, placing his birth in 170 AC
* 39 turning 40 in 209 AC, placing his birth in 169 AC

It is known that Baelor was seventeen years old when Princess Daenerys, his aunt, wed Prince Maron Martell.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}} Daeron II started the negotiations for Daenerys's marriage soon after he became King (he became king in 184 AC), and the negotiations lasted two years, where Maron agreed to be betrothed to Daenerys, once she was of age. Daenerys was married to Maron a year later.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}}

With Baelor's possible years of birth being 170 AC and 169 AC, Baelor was seventeen years old in either
* 186 AC (born in 169 AC, having been 16 turning 17)
* 187 AC (born in 169 AC, having been 17 turning 18)
* 187 AC (born in 170 AC, having been 16 turning 17)
* 188 AC (born in 170 AC, having been 17 turning 18)

According to rule #3, the second and fourth option are not valid, as this is sourced by a historical work from Yandel. This leaves only 186 AC and 187 AC for the possible year of Baelor having been 17, and thus as the date for Daenerys's wedding. As at least three years passed between Daeron II ascending the throne (in 184 AC) and Daenerys and Maron marrying, 186 AC is no longer an option.

This shows that, according to Yandel, Baelor turned seventeen in 187 AC, placing his birth in 170 AC.

Baelor was thus born in {{Date|170}}.

==Baelor I Targaryen==
===Birth===
[[Baelor I Targaryen|Baelor Targaryen]] was seventeen years old in {{Date|161}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Baelor I}} As the source for his age concerns a historical work, rule #3 applies, placing Baelor’s birth in {{Date|144}}.

==Balerion==
===Birth===
[[Balerion]] was around 200 years old when he died{{Ref|ASOS|8}} in {{Date|94}}.{{Ref|TRP}} This places Balerion's birth near 107 BC, due to there not being a year "0". However, Balerion is known to have been alive already when the Targaryens left the Valyrian Freehold for Dragonstone, which occurred in {{Date|-126}},{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Reign of the Dragons: The Conquest}} 220 years before his death, implying that Balerion had been born in {{Date|-126}} or before, but likely not much before.

==Balerion Otherys==
===Birth===
[[Balerion Otherys]] was the youngest of three children of Bellegere Otherys and King Aegon IV Targaryen. Bellegere and Aegon were together from {{Date|161}} until {{Date|171}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}} This would place Balerion’s birth in 163 AC the earliest, at least one year after his elder sister Narha, and in 172 AC the latest.

No further specifications can be given. Balerion was thus born in or between {{Date|163}} and {{Date|172}}.

==Balon Greyjoy==
===Birth===
[[Balon Greyjoy]] was the fourth son of Quellon Greyjoy.{{Ref|AFFC|1}} Thus, he would have been at least 9 months younger than his elder sibling, Donel, Quellon's third son.{{Ref|AFFC|1}} As Donel and Balon have different mothers,{{Ref|AFFC|1}} it is possible that they were born in the same year. Donel was born no earlier than 255 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Donel Greyjoy|Donel Greyjoy]])'', placing Balon's birth no earlier than 255 AC as well.

Balon's third child, Asha, was born in either 275 AC or 276 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Asha Greyjoy|Asha Greyjoy]])'', indicating that Balon was at least fourteen years old at her birth (being a minimum of twelve years old at the birth of his eldest child, and a minimum of thirteen at the birth of his second child). As Asha's last possible year of birth is 276 AC, and Balon would have been at least fourteen years old at her birth, Balon was thus born no later than 262 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Balon was thus born in or between {{Date|255}} and {{Date|262}}.

==Barba Bracken==
===Birth===
[[Barba Bracken]] was 16 years old in {{Date|171}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}} As the source for her age concerns a historical work, rule #3 applies, placing Barba's birth in {{Date|155}}.

==Barba Bolton==
===Birth===
[[Barba Bolton]] 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 had to be under the age of thirty, Barba could not have been born any earlier than 103 AC. As Barba spoke coherently at the ball, she must have been at least three years old.

No further specifications can be given. Barba was thus born in or between {{Date|103}} and {{Date|130}}.

==Barbrey Ryswell==
===Birth===
[[Barbrey Dustin|Barbrey Ryswell]]'s maidenhead was taken in her youth by a young Brandon Stark, with whom she had an affair.{{Ref|ADWD|41}} indicating the two were of an age with one another. As Brandon was born in 262 AC,{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II}} Barbrey would have been born in {{Date|262}}, give or take a few years.

==Barristan Selmy==
===Birth===
[[Barristan Selmy]] was 23 when he was raised to the Kingsguard during the reign of Jaehaerys II, thus in either 259 AC, 260 AC, 261 AC, or 262 AC.{{Ref|AGOT|57}}{{Ref|AGOT|Appendix}}{{Ref|ASOS|67}}{{Ref|ADWD|55}} This gives Barristan the following options:
* 22 turning 23 in 259 AC, placing his birth in 236 AC
* 23 turning 24 in 259 AC, placing his birth in 235 AC
* 22 turning 23 in 260 AC, placing his birth in 237 AC
* 23 turning 24 in 260 AC, placing his birth in 236 AC
* 22 turning 23 in 261 AC, placing his birth in 238 AC
* 23 turning 24 in 261 AC, placing his birth in 237 AC
* 22 turning 23 in 262 AC, placing his birth in 239 AC
* 23 turning 24 in 262 AC, placing his birth in 238 AC

This gives Barristan the options of 235 AC to 239 AC as his year of birth.

Barristan was named to the Kingsguard only after killing Maelys I Blackfyre.{{Ref|ASOS|67}} Barristan killed Maelys during the War of the Ninepenny Kings, in {{Date|260}},{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Jaehaerys II}} late in the year.<ref group="N">Tywin Lannister returned from the war and began to demand his father's bannermen pay their debts. This led to a fight between House Lannister and House Tarbeck, which escalated until Lord Tytos forced a peace, which was said to have lasted “not quite a year”. In late 261 AC, Tywin Lannister found a way to legally break the peace.</ref>

Thus, Barristan could not have been named to the Kingsguard in 259 AC, and therefore, would not have been 22 turning 23 in 259 AC, or 23 turning 24 in 259 AC, removing the option of 235 AC as his possible year of birth.

In {{Date|300}}, Barristan thinks to himself it has been 53 years since the tourney at Blackhaven, when he was 10.{{Ref|ASOS|24}}{{Ref|ASOS|67}}{{Ref|ADWD|59}} This means the tourney at Blackhaven occurred in 247 AC. Being 10 years old in 247 AC, gives the following options:
* 9 turning 10 in 247 AC, placing his birth in 237 AC
* 10 turning 11 in 247 AC, placing his birth in 236 AC

This leaves only the options 236 AC and 237 AC, further eliminating 238 AC and 239 AC.

Barristan was 61 years old in {{Date|298}} during the Tourney of the Hand.{{Ref|AWOIAF|Barristan Selmy}} This leaves the following options:
* Either 60 turning 61 in 298 AC, placing his birth in 237 AC
* Either 61 turning 62 in 298 AC, placing his birth in 236 AC

Further, Barristan is known to be 63 years old in the year 300 AC.{{Ref|ADWD|59}} This leaves two options:
* 62 turning 63 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 237 AC
* 63 turning 64 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 236 AC

As well, Barristan is known to have been 16 years old in {{Date|253}}.{{Ref|AWOIAF|Barristan Selmy}}{{Ref|AWOIAF|Duncan}}{{Ref|ASOS|67}} That gives the following two options:
*Being 15 turning 16 in 253 AC, placing his birth in 237 AC
*Being 16 turning 17 in 253 AC, placing his birth in 236 AC

Each of these entries show that the options of 238 AC and 239 AC are eliminated, leaving only two options.

Barristan was 57 when winning a tourney,{{Ref|ASOS|67}} which took place in 294 AC.{{Ref|AGOT|27}} Barristan being 57 in 294 AC means he was:
* 56 turning 57 in 294 AC, placing his birth in 237 AC
* 57 turning 58 in 294 AC, placing his birth in 236 AC
This gives no further clarification.

Barristan, who was 61 years old during the Tourney of the Hand in {{Date|298}}, was also 61 when he was dismissed from the Kingsguard by Joffrey Baratheon.{{Ref|ASOS|67}} It is unknown in which year this event takes place (either in late 298 AC or early 299 AC):
* 60 turning 61 in 298 AC, placing his birth in 237 AC
* 61 turning 62 in 298 AC, placing his birth in 236 AC
* 61 turning 62 in 299 AC, placing his birth in 237 AC
(Due to being already 61 in 298 AC, Barristan could not have been 60 turning 61 in 299 AC).

This gives no further clarification.

No further specifications can be given. Barristan Selmy was thus born in either {{Date|236}} or {{Date|237}}.

==Barsena==
===Birth===
[[Barsena]] is roughly thirty years old in 300 AC,{{Ref|ADWD|52}} placing her birth roughly around {{Date|270}}. No further specifications can be given.

==Barth==
===Birth===
[[Barth]] was appointed Hand of the King in 58 AC.{{Ref|FAB|The Long Reign - Jaehaerys and Alysanne: Policy, Progeny, and Pain}} Ser Tywin Lannister was the youngest ever to be appointed at that position at the age of twenty in 262 AC.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II}} Therefore Barth was at least twenty-one years old in 58 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Barth was thus born in or before {{Date|37}}.

==Barthogan Stark==
===Birth===
[[Barthogan Stark]] was the fourth child of Lord [[Cregan Stark]] by his third wife, Lady [[Lynara Stark]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} Barthogan would have been at least one year younger than his sister [[Lyanna Stark (daughter of Cregan)|Lyanna]], Cregan's third child by Lynara.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} Lyanna was born no earlier than {{Date|138}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Lyanna Stark (daughter of Cregan)|Lyanna Stark (daughter of Cregan)]])'', indicating that 139 AC is the earliest possible birth year for Barthogan.

Barthogan would have been at least one year older than his younger brother, Brandon Stark.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} As the latest possible year of birth for Brandon was 183 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Brandon Stark (son of Cregan)|Brandon Stark (son of Cregan)]])'', Barthogan would have been born no later than 182 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Barthogan was thus born in or between {{Date|139}} and {{Date|182}}.

===Death===
Barthogan was killed when [[Skagos]]i rose up against Winterfell during the reign of King [[Daeron II Targaryen]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|The North: The Stoneborn of Skagos}} which lasted from {{Date|184}} to {{Date|209}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}}

No further specifications can be given. Barthogan thus died in or between {{Date|184}} and {{Date|209}}.

==Bella==
===Birth===
[[Bella]] was conceived during the Battle of the Bells, which took place in {{Date|283}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Events#Robert's Rebellion/War of the Usurper|Robert's Rebellion/War of the Usurper]])''.{{Ref|ASOS|29}}{{Ref|ADWD|24}} After the Battle of the Bells, Eddard Stark was married to Catelyn Tully. They conceived a child within a fortnight of their wedding, Robb, who was born in {{Date|283}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Robb Stark|Robb Stark]])''. Since Robb was conceived after Bella was conceived, and Robb was both conceived and born in 283 AC, Bella will thus have been born in {{Date|283}} as well.

==Bellenora Otherys==
===Birth===
[[Bellenora Otherys]] was the eldest of the three children of Bellegere Otherys and King Aegon IV Targaryen. Bellegere and Aegon were together from {{Date|161}} until {{Date|171}}, and all the children were born during that decade.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}} This would place Bellenora's birth in 161 AC the earliest, and in 169 AC the latest (as she had two younger siblings).

No further specifications can be given. Bellenora was thus born in or between {{Date|161}} and {{Date|169}}.

==Ben==
===Birth===
[[Ben]] is six years old in {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|AFFC|37}} That gives him the following options:
* 5 turning 6 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 294 AC
* 6 turning 7 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 293 AC

No further specifications can be given. Ben was thus born in either {{Date|293}} or {{Date|294}}.

==Ben Beesbury==
===Birth===
[[Ben Beesbury]] was at least 80 years old when he became a potential suitor to Arianne Martell. He died a few years later.{{Ref|AFFC|40}}

It is unknown when Doran Martell began to propose betrothals to Arianne. It is most likely that he did not do this while she was too young, though it definitely occurred after the secret document was signed. The document was signed before Ser Willam Darry got sick. Darry got sick when Daenerys Targaryen was 5 years old.{{Ref|AWOIAF|Daenerys Targaryen}} With Daenerys having been born in 284 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Daenerys Targaryen|Daenerys Targaryen]])'', she was five in both 289 AC and 290 AC. This makes 290 AC the last possible year where Darry and Oberyn Martell could have signed the contract.

In 290 AC, Arianne Martell would have been turning 14. Since Arianne was 14 years old when Daemon Sand asked for her hand in marriage,{{Ref|AFFC|40}} it is possible that Doran Martell started here, though possibly he began earlier.

If Doran began in 290 AC with proposing marriages, that would be the first year that Ben Beesbury might have been considered. Ben has been mentioned in 300 AC to have been dead for a few years (he died a few years after having been proposed as a suitor, and in 300 AC is thus dead). That suggests that between the proposal and his death at least two years had passed. Since it is mentioned he died a few years after the proposal, and not that he died “this year”, there seem to be at least three years in between the proposal and 300 AC. This would mean that Beesbury was at least 80 years old in 297 AC the latest, and in 290 AC the earliest.

Being 80 years old in 297 AC (possibly turning 81 later in the year), would place Bens birth in 216 AC. Being at least 80 years old in 290 AC would place Beesbury's birth in 210 AC or later.

No further specifications can be given. Ben Beesbury was thus born in or between {{Date|210}} and {{Date|217}}.

==Ben Blackthumb==
===Birth===
[[Ben Blackthumb]] came to Harrenhal as a boy and first smithed for House Lothston.{{Ref|ACOK|47}} House Lothston went extinct during the reign of King Maekar I Targayren{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Riverlands: House Tully}} (221 AC to 233 AC),{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Maekar I}} meaning that Ben was born before 233 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Ben was thus born before {{Date|233}}.

==Benedict Royce==
===Birth===
[[Benedict Royce]] fathered three daughters by 299 AC according to Catelyn Tully.{{Ref|ASOS|45}} The youngest was therefore born no later than 299 AC, the second no later than a year earlier in 298 AC, and the eldest no later than another year earlier in 297 AC. Benedict would have been at least 12 years old at his eldest's birth, therefore he could not have been born later than {{Date|285}}.

'''''Note:''' As all three daughters are wed, they're likely significantly older, but 299 AC is the only solid date we have to go by.''

===Death===
Benedict was married to [[Jocelyn Stark]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} with whom he had three daughters.{{Ref|ASOS|45}} He cannot have died earlier than the year before the youngest was born. Jocelyn, born no earlier than ~198 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Jocelyn Stark|Jocelyn Stark]])'', would have been at least 12 years old at the birth of the first, 13 at the second, and 14 at the third. Therefore the youngest daughter was born no earlier than ~212 AC, and Benedict died no earlier than ~{{Date|211}}.

==Benfred Tallhart==
===Birth===
After [[Benfred Tallhart]] has formed a group of lances called the Wild Hares in {{Date|299}}, his uncle Leobald describes the group to exist of boys "none older than nineteen years",{{Ref|ACOK|16}} indicating that Benfred is 19 years old at most. As it is possible that Benfred will turn twenty later that year, he was born no earlier than 279 AC.

Benfred's younger sister, Eddara, was born no later than {{Date|290}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Eddara Tallhart|Eddara Tallhart]])''. As Benfred will be at least one year older than his younger sister, he cannot have been born after 289 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Benfred was thus born in or between {{Date|279}} and {{Date|289}}.

==Benfrey Frey==
===Birth===
[[Benfrey Frey]] is an older brother of Willamen, Olyvar and Roslin, and a younger brother of Perwyn. Perwyn was born no earlier than 269 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Perwyn Frey|Perwyn Frey]])''. Benfrey comes next, so the earliest he could have been born is one year later than Perwyn, meaning that Benfrey was born no earlier than 270 AC.

Willamen comes after Benfrey, and Willamen's latest possible year of birth is 280 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Willamen Frey|Willamen Frey]])''. Having been born at least one year before Willamen, Benfrey was born no later than 279 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Benfrey was thus born in or between {{Date|270}} and {{Date|279}}.

==Benjen Stark==
===Birth===
[[Benjen Stark]] was the younger brother of Brandon, Eddard and Lyanna Stark.{{Ref|ASOS|24}} Lyanna was his first elder sibling. She was born in either {{Date|266}} or {{Date|267}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Lyanna Stark|Lyanna Stark]])''. That Benjen was born after Lyanna, means that he would have been at least one year younger than her, placing his birth in 267 AC the earliest, though it is possible he was born later.

No further specifications can be given. Benjen was thus born in {{Date|267}} or after.

'''''Note:''' According to George R. R. Martin, Benjen joined the Night's Watch in the direct aftermath of Robert's Rebellion, roughly around when his brother Eddard returned from the south and Eddard's wife and two sons took residence in Winterfell.{{Ref|SSM|1095}} Robert's Rebellion ended in {{Date|283}}, meaning Benjen joined the Night's Watch in {{Date|283}} or {{Date|284}}. While his age is not specified, Martin has elsewhere stated that the Night's Watch would not give its oaths to a boy that was seriously minor, like a twelve year old,{{Ref|SSM|1054}} the only known exception being [[Osric Stark]], elected Lord Commander of the Night's Watch at the age of ten.{{Ref|AFFC|5}} If Benjen was indeed at least twelve when he joined the Night's Watch, he would be born no later than approximately {{Date|272}}.''

==Benjen Stark (lord)==
===Birth===
[[Benjen Stark (lord)|Benjen Stark]]'s eldest son [[Rickon Stark (son of Benjen)|Rickon]]{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} was born no later than {{Date|96}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Rickon Stark (son of Benjen)|Rickon Stark (son of Benjen)]])''. As Benjen would have been at least twelve years old at the moment of Rickon's birth, he was born no later than 84 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Benjen was thus born in or before {{Date|84}}.

===Death===
Benjen was succeeded as Lord of Winterfell by his son Rickon,{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} who died in 121 AC.{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - A Son for a Son}} As such, Benjen could not have died any later than 121 AC.

[[Ellard Stark]] was Lord of Winterfell before Benjen. He is known to have ruled in 101 AC,{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Jaehaerys I}}. As Benjen ruled Winterfell after Ellard, Benjen could not have died any earlier than 101 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Benjen thus died in or between {{Date|101}} and {{Date|121}}.

==Benjen Stark (son of Artos)==
===Birth===
[[Benjen Stark (son of Artos)|Benjen Stark]] and his twin brother are the eldest and only children of [[Artos Stark]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} who was born no earlier than 186 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Artos Stark|Artos Stark]])''. Artos would have been at least 12 years old at the birth, so Benjen was born no earlier than {{Date|198}}.

===Death===
Benjen had at least one child.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} He cannot have died earlier than the year before they were born. Benjen, born no earlier than 198 AC, would have been at least 12 years old at the birth. Therefore the child was born no earlier than 210 AC, and Benjen died no earlier than {{Date|209}}.

==Benjen Stark (son of Bennard)==
===Birth===
[[Benjen Stark (son of Bennard)|Benjen Stark]]'s next youngest sibling, [[Brandon Stark (son of Bennard)|Brandon Stark]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} was born no later than 125 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Brandon Stark (son of Bennard)|Brandon Stark (son of Bennard)]])''. Benjen would have been born at least a year earlier, so he was born no later than {{Date|124}}.

===Death===
Benjen was alive in 126 AC.{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - A Son for a Son}}

No further specifications can be given. Benjen thus died in {{Date|126}} or after.

==Benjicot Blackwood==
===Birth===
[[Benjicot Blackwood]] was thirteen years old in {{Date|131}}.{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - The Short, Sad Reign of Aegon II}}{{Ref|FAB|Aftermath - The Hour of the Wolf}} Furthermore, he is known to have been both eleven{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - Rhaenyra Triumphant}} and twelve{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - Rhaenyra Overthrown}} years old in 130 AC, demonstrating he was eleven turning twelve in that year, and thus was born in {{Date|118}}.

===Death===
[[Benjicot Blackwood]] had a long life,{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - The Short, Sad Reign of Aegon II}} and was alive in 136 AC.{{Ref|FAB|The Lysene Spring and the End of Regency}} By 206 AC, the lordship of Raventree Hall had passed on to Lord [[Quentyn Blackwood]],{{Ref|THK}} indicating Benjicot had died by then.

==Bennard Stark==
===Birth===
When [[Bennard Stark]]'s older brother Lord [[Rickon Stark (son of Benjen)|Rickon Stark]]{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} died in {{Date|121}},{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - A Son for a Son}} Bennard became the regent for his nephew, [[Cregan Stark]], during his minority.{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - A Son for a Son}} In order to be Cregan's regent, Bennard had to have reached manhood in 121 AC, meaning that he was at least 16 years old in 121 AC. Therefore, 105 AC is the latest possible year of birth for Bennard.

No further specifications can be given. Bennard was thus born in or before {{Date|105}}.

===Death===
Bennard is known to have been alive in 126 AC.{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - A Son for a Son}}

* 8 turning 9 in 299 AC, placing his birth in 290 AC
* 9 turning 10 in 299 AC, placing his birth in 289 AC

Later on in 299 AC, Beren has turned ten.{{Ref|ASOS|Appendix}} Being both nine and ten years old during 299 AC, shows that Beren turned ten in 299 AC, and was thus born in {{Date|289}}.

==Berena Hornwood==
===Birth===
[[Berena Hornwood]]'s youngest child, Princess Beren Tallhart, was born in {{Date|189}}. ''(See [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Beren Tallhart|Beren Tallhart]])'' Following rule #5, Berena would be no older than ~52 at the birth of her youngest child, meaning that the earliest possible year of birth for Berena is ~135 AC.

Her oldest child, Brandon Tallhart, was born at the latest in {{Date|285}}. ''(See [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Brandon Tallhart|Brandon Tallhart]])'' Berena would have been at least twelve years old at the birth of Brandon, meaning that her latest possible year of birth is 173 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Berena was thus born between ~{{Date|135}} and {{Date|173}}.

==Berena Stark==

==Beric Dondarrion==
===Birth===
[[Beric Dondarrion]] was almost 22 years old when he went out to bring Gregor Clegane to justice.{{Ref|AGOT|44}} This means he was still 21 years old. It is known that this event occurred in {{Date|298}}, since Eddard Stark mentions Robert Baratheon has been the King for fifteen years after Beric has left King's Landing,{{Ref|AGOT|47}} placing this events still in 298 AC (Robert Baratheon was crowned in 283 AC{{Ref|ADWD|Appendix}}).This means that Beric has the following options:
* 20 turning 21 in 298 AC, placing his birth in 277 AC
* 21 turning 22 in 298 AC, placing his birth in 276 AC

No further specifications can be given. Beric was thus born in either {{Date|276}} or {{Date|277}}.

===Death===
[[Beric Dondarrion]] died his seventh and final time three days after the Red Wedding.{{Ref|ASOS|Epilogue}}{{Ref|AFFC|42}} Robb Stark was preparing to march to Moat Cailin, and to attack it at the first day of {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|ASOS|45}} Moat Cailin is located at the northern border of the Neck, whereas the Twins are located south of the Neck,{{Ref|TLOIAF|Westeros}} and the time to cross the Neck has been established to be twelve days.{{Ref|AGOT|15}} Since Robb was to leave the day after the wedding, and believed he could be in position to attack Moat Cailin by the first day of 300 AC, he thus seemed to be certain a journey stated earlier to last at least for about 12 days could be completed before then. Having been twelve days away from Moat Cailin, with Beric dying on the third day, Beric's death thus occurred before the new year began, in {{Date|299}}.

==Beron Stark==
===Birth===
[[Beron Stark]], in his thirties, was mortally wounded and "fading fast".<ref>[[So Spake Martin]]: [https://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/1409/ Boskone (Boston, MA; February 17-19) (February 17, 2006)] - report 2</ref> There exists the small possibility that he lived long enough to reach his next birthday, so we can say he died between the ages of 30 and 40. As he died no earlier than 212 AC, and would have been 40 years old at most, Beron was born no earlier than 172 AC. As he died no later than 226 AC, and would have been 30 years old at least, Beron was born no later than 196 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Beron thus died in or between {{Date|212}} and {{Date|226}}.

'''''Note:''' Approximately ninety years before the events ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'', a Lord of Winterfell was dying of a wound taken against the [[ironborn]].{{ref|SSM|1408}} In {{Date|212}}, Lord Beron Stark was gathering forces to face the ironborn led by [[Dagon Greyjoy]],{{Ref|TMK}} which is one of several conflicts in the decades that followed the reigns of Lords [[Jonnel Stark|Jonnel]] and [[Barthogan Stark]] in which Starks died.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The North: The Lords of Winterfell}} These facts suggest that Beron Stark was likely the unidentified Lord Stark dying of a wound and died nearer to {{Date|212}} than otherwise, although the gap between his gathering forces as of ''The Mystery Knight'' and taking the mortal wound is unknown.''

==Bessa (Hag's Mire)==
===Death===
Bessa was murdered by Chett, who was sent to the Night's Watch for the crime. Chett was brought to Wall by Yoren,{{Ref|ASOS|Prologue}} who had served as wandering crow for approximately thirty years as of 299 AC.{{Ref|ACOK|9}} Therefore, Bessa died no earlier than {{Date|269}}.

Chett served as steward to Maester Aemon for four years before his removal from the position in late 298 AC or early 299 AC.{{Ref|ASOS|Prologue}} As Bessa died prior to his joining the Watch, she died in {{Date|295}} at the latest.

That means that Bethany was still alive in 282 AC at least, though she could have died during the birth, or later in the year. The first possible year in which Bethany died is thus 282 AC.

Bethany was Walder Frey's sixth wife. In 285 AC, Walder's seventh wife has given birth to Arwyn Frey ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Arwyn Frey|Arwyn Frey]])''. This means that Arwyn was conceived in 284 AC, and that thus Walders marriage to his sixth wife took place no later than 284 AC. This means that Bethany died no later than 284 AC.

[[Bryen Caron]] died together with his wife, daughters and second son, who was 12 at the time.{{Ref|AFFC|14}} Bryen's younger son was three years older than Brienne of Tarth, who was born in {{Date|280}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Brienne of Tarth|Brienne of Tarth]])'', placing his birth in {{Date|277}}. As his son was 12 years old when all fell ill and died, and was born in {{Date|277}}, he would have been 12 in either 289 AC (11 turning 12) or 290 AC (12 turning 13), indicating that Bryen died in either 289 AC or 290 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Bryen thus died in either {{Date|289}} or {{Date|290}}.

==Brynden Blackwood==
===Birth===
[[Brynden Blackwood]] was born at least one year before his younger brother, Lucas Blackwood,{{Ref|ADWD|Appendix}} who was born no later than 283 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Lucas Blackwood|Lucas Blackwood]])''.

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

==Brynden Tully==
===Birth===
When Jaime Lannister was a squire (which he was from the age of 11 until the age of 15), he went to Riverrun. Jaime notes he was a squire “as green as summer grass”, indicating that this likely took place in one of the earlier years of his being a squire (at the age of 11, 12 or 13). At this event, Jaime met [[Brynden Tully]]. Jaime remembers that Brynden had been younger than Jaime is when remembering this (34), and Jaime himself was younger than his own squire (who is 15) is at that moment.{{Ref|AFFC|33}}

This means that Jaime was 11, 12, 13 or 14 years old, meaning that his visit to Riverrun occurred in either 277 AC, 278 AC, 279 AC, and 280 AC or 281 AC. During these years, Brynden Tully was 33 years old at the maximum, though it is possible that Brynden would be turning 34 later in the year.

If Jaime's visit to Riverrun took place in:
* 277 AC, and Brynden was 33 turning 34 that year, Brynden would have been born in 243 AC
* 278 AC, and Brynden was 33 turning 34 that year, Brynden would have been born in 244 AC
* 279 AC, and Brynden was 33 turning 34 that year, Brynden would have been born in 245 AC
* 280 AC, and Brynden was 33 turning 34 that year, Brynden would have been born in 246 AC
* 281 AC, and Brynden was 33 turning 34 that year, Brynden would have been born in 247 AC

This shows that Bryndens earliest year of birth is 243 AC. If Brynden had been any younger than 33 (to be turning 34 later that year) during Jaime's first visit to Riverrun, Brynden's birth would take place later. If the event itself took place in one of the later years, Brynden would have been born later. The year 243 AC is therefore Brynden's earliest possible year of birth.

Brynden was a young knight during the War of the Ninepenny Kings,{{Ref|AWOIAF|Brynden Tully}} in {{Date|260}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Jaehaerys II}}

Knighthood can be received from the age of 15.<ref group="N" name=Knighthood>Generally, [https://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?/topic/113885-the-wiki-timeline-project-calculations/&page=3#comment-6686954 one seems to be at least 15 years old] - though usually at least a few years older - upon receiving knighthood.</ref> This means that Brynden was at least 15 years old during the war, which took place in 261 AC the latest. Turning 15 in 260 AC would place Bryndens birth in 245 AC. If Brynden had been at least 15 years old in 260 AC, he could not have been born any earlier than 245 AC, placing his birth in 245 AC or earlier.

No further specifications can be given. Brynden was thus born in either {{Date|243}}, {{Date|244}}, or {{Date|245}}.

==Buford Bulwer==
===Birth===
[[Buford Bulwer]] was past sixty{{Ref|TMK}} in 212 AC.<ref name=SmallQuestions/>

{{Alphabetized Navigation}}

==Calla Blackfyre==
===Birth===
[[Calla Blackfyre]] was at least a year younger than her elder twin brothers, Aegon and Aemon Blackfyre, who were born in 184 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Aegon Blackfyre|Aegon Blackfyre]] and [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Aemon Blackfyre|Aemon Blackfyre]])''. This means that Calla could not have been born any earlier than one year later, placing her birth no earlier than 185 AC.

By the start of the First Blackfyre Rebellion in early {{Date|196}}, Calla and at least one sister had already been born.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}} As Calla was the eldest daughter,{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}} she would have been at least one year older than her sister. As her sister had been born no later than early 196 AC, Calla could not have been born any later than one year before, in 195 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Calla was thus born in or between {{Date|185}} and {{Date|195}}.

==Cameron Tarth==
===Death===
[[Cameron Tarth]] was present at the Myrish Bloodbath in 92 AC.{{Ref|FAB|The Long Reign - Jaehaerys and Alysanne: Policy, Progeny, and Pain}} In 133 AC, Bryndemere Tarth was the Lord of Tarth,{{Ref|FAB|Under the Regents - War and Peace and Cattle Shows}} implying Cameron had died no later than 133 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Cameron thus died in or between {{Date|92}} and {{Date|133}}.

==Cassana Estermont==
===Birth===
[[Cassana Estermont]] was the mother of [[Robert Baratheon]], who was born in {{Date|262}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II}} She would have been at least twelve years old at the moment of Robert's birth, meaning that 250 AC is the latest possible year of birth for Cassana.

Following rule #5, Cassana was no older than ~52 years old at the birth of her youngest child, Renly Baratheon,{{Ref|ACOK|Appendix}} who was born in 277 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Renly Baratheon|Renly Baratheon]])''. Therefore Cassana would have been born no earlier than ~225 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Cassana was thus born in or between ~{{Date|225}} and {{Date|250}}.

'''''Note:''' Cassana married Lord Steffon Baratheon, who was born in 246 AC.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Stormlands: House Baratheon}} As one of the most prominent lords of Westeros, Steffon probably married a woman close to his age. Therefore Cassana birth year is likely closer to 250 AC than 225 AC.''

===Death===
Cassana Estermont accompanied [[Steffon Baratheon]] when he went across the Narrow Sea on the orders of King Aerys II in {{Date|278}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II}} They died on their way back. After their 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 and Cassana left on their mission in 278 AC, this means that Cassana died either in 278 AC or 279 AC.

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

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

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

Cassandra was the older sister of [[Maris Baratheon]],{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - A Son for a Son}} who was born at the latest in 117 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Maris Baratheon|Maris Baratheon]])''. As Cassandra would have been at least one year older than Maris, she was born no later than 116 AC.

In {{Date|129}}, her father stated that even though Cassandra was his eldest daughter she had not [[Flowering|flowered]] yet, girls generally have their first period between 11 and 18 years of age thus Cassandra is unlikely to have been born earlier than 111 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Cassandra was thus born in or between {{Date|111}} and {{Date|116}}.

==Catelyn Tully==
===Birth===
[[Catelyn Stark|Catelyn Tully]] is two years older than her sister, Lysa Tully.{{Ref|AGOT|34}} At one point, Catelyn described a memory, during which she herself was no older than Sansa (who was 12 at that time), Lysa younger than Arya (who was 9, soon to turn 10) and Petyr Baelish even younger still.{{Ref|AGOT|71}} This indicates that Petyr was younger than Lysa by at least one year (otherwise, it would have stated that Petyr was the same age as Lysa had been at that point in time).

Sansa and Arya are two years apart in age.{{Ref|AGOT|5}}{{Ref|AGOT|7}}{{Ref|AGOT|15}} However, looking at the moment during the year their namedays take place, it is clear that Arya's nameday falls early in the year, while Sansa's nameday falls at the end of the year. So even though they were born three calendar years apart, they actually only differ two years and a few months in age, which is then rounded to two years when people are talking about it.

Looking at Catelyn's memory, she states there that she and Lysa are further apart in age than Sansa and Arya, yet she and Lysa still qualify as being two years apart in age. So Catelyn and Lysa differ nearly two and a half years in age. Petyr was "younger still" during the memory, meaning he was at least one year younger than Lysa (otherwise they would have had the 'same age'). So between Catelyn and Petyr seems to be at least three years in age.

Petyr was born in {{Date|268}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Petyr Baelish|Petyr Baelish]])'', and if Catelyn is at least three years older, that would place her birth no later than in 265 AC.

Amarei Crakehall died before Catelyn Tully was born.{{Ref|AGOT|59}} Amarei's son Merrett was born in {{Date|262}} ''(See [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Merrett Frey|Merrett Frey]])''. Amarei had two younger sons after Merrett, meaning that Amarei could not have died before 264 AC. As Catelyn could only have been born after Amarei's death, Catelyn cannot have been born before 264 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Catelyn Tully was thus born in either {{Date|264}} or {{Date|265}}.

===Death===
Catelyn dies during the Red Wedding,{{Ref|ASOS|51}} the news of which arrives at King's Landing before Joffrey's wedding,{{Ref|ASOS|53}} which will take place on the first day of {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|ASOS|4}} The Red Wedding has thus occurred in 299 AC, meaning that Catelyn died in {{Date|299}}.

==Cerelle Lannister (daughter of Jason)==
===Birth===
[[Cerelle Lannister (daughter of Jason)|Cerelle Lannister]] was one of the maidens presented to King Aegon III Targaryen during the Maiden's Day Ball in {{Date|133}}.{{Ref|FAB|Under the Regents - War and Peace and Cattle Shows}} As the maidens had 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.

Cerelle's father, Jason Lannister, departed from Casterly Rock in {{Date|129}} to fight in the Dance of the Dragons and died in battle in {{Date|130}},{{Ref|TPATQ}} meaning Cerelle could not have been conceived any later than 130 AC, and therefore that she could not have been born any later than 131 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Cerelle was thus born in or between {{Date|103}} and {{Date|131}}.

'''''Note:''' While women can be married at a [[Marriage#Age at marriage|very young age]], it is usually the case that women are closer to the age of majority. Cerelle is described as a "maiden of noble birth and marriageable age" in 133 AC,{{Ref|FAB|Under the Regents - War and Peace and Cattle Shows}} suggesting that she was probably closer to the age of majority or even older in 133 AC.''

==Cerelle Lannister (daughter of Tybolt)==
===Birth===
[[Cerelle Lannister (daughter of Tybolt)|Cerelle Lannister]] was three years old in {{Date|212}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Westerlands: House Lannister Under the Dragons}} As the source for her age concerns a historical work, rule #3 applies, placing Cerelle's birth in {{Date|209}}.

Cerissa would have been at least twelve years old at the moment of Tybolt's birth, indicating that {{Date|182}} is the last possible year of birth for Cerissa.

No further specifications can be given. Cerissa was thus born in or before {{Date|182}}.

==Cerrick==
===Birth===
[[Cerrick]] was older than Ser [[Duncan the Tall]].{{Ref|TSS}} Since Ser Duncan was born in {{Date|193}} ''(See [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Duncan the Tall|Duncan the Tall]])'', Cerrick must have been born before {{Date|193}}.

No further specifications can be given. Cerrick was thus born before {{Date|193}}.

'''''Note:''' Dunk judges that Cerrick could not have been much older than himself, meaning he would have been born in the years leading up to 193.''

==Cersei Frey==
===Birth===
[[Cersei Frey]] has been mentioned to have been six years old in {{Date|299}}.{{Ref|ACOK|Appendix}} This gives the following options:

==Cleos Frey==
===Birth===
[[Cleos Frey]] is the eldest son of Emmon Frey and Genna Lannister. Both Emmon and Genna would have been at least twelve years old at the time of his birth. Emmon was born in either 237 AC or 238 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Emmon Frey|Emmon Frey]])'', Genna was born in 245 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Genna Lannister|Genna Lannister]])''. As Genna is younger than her husband Emmon, her age is used to determine the minimum.

With Genna having been born in 245 AC, and with her having been at least twelve years old when Cleos was born, Cleos was born no earlier than twelve years after 245 AC, making 257 AC the first possible year of birth for Cleos.

Cleos's eldest son Tywin was born no later than 288 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Tywin Frey|Tywin Frey]])''.

===Death===
[[Cregan Stark]]'s son Rickon died in one of the final battles during the Conquest of Dorne. This battle occurred in either 157 AC or 158 AC. Rickon is named Cregan's heir at this point in history, indicating that Cregan still ruled Winterfell. Thus, Cregan died in 157 AC or after.
Moreover, Cregan was succeeded as Lord of Winterfell by his second son, [[Jonnel Stark]], who died at the latest in 209 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Jonnel Stark|Jonnel Stark]])''. Cregan could have technically died the same year as Jonnel but not after, meaning that 209 AC is the lastest possible year of death for Cregan.

==Creighton Longbough==
===Birth===
[[Creighton Longbough]] was in his fifties{{Ref|AWOIAF|Creighton Longbough}} in 300 AC.{{Ref|AFFC|4}} That means in 300 AC he was 51 years old at the youngest, and 59 years old at the latest, though it is possible he would be turning 60 later in the year. That gives him the following options:
* 50 turning 51 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 249 AC
* 51 turning 52 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 248 AC
* 52 turning 53 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 247 AC

* 58 turning 59 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 241 AC
* 59 turning 60 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 240 AC

No further specifications can be given. Creighton was thus born in or between {{Date|240}} and {{Date|249}}.

==Cressen==
===Birth===
[[Cressen]] mentions he is not far from his 80th nameday in early {{Date|299}}.{{Ref|ACOK|Prologue}} That shows Cressen is still 79 years old.
Being 79 years old in 299 AC gives Cressen the following options:
* 79 turning 80 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 220 AC
* 79 turning 80 in 299 AC, placing his birth in 219 AC

No further specifications can be given. Cressen was thus born in either {{Date|219}} or {{Date|220}}.

===Death===
[[Cressen]] died after the [[Red Comet]] had already appeared in the sky. The Red Comet is visible for the first time in {{Date|299}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Events#298 AC to 299 AC|298 AC to 299 AC]])''.

Cressen thus died in {{Date|299}}.

==Culiper==
===Birth===
[[Culiper]] was described as a man of eighty years in {{Date|50}},{{Ref|FAB|A Surfeit of Rulers}} but was said to have been closer to ninety than to eighty when he died in {{Date|54}}.{{Ref|FAB|Birth, Death, and Betrayal Under King Jaehaerys I}} This indicates he was no younger than eighty-five, and no older than eighty-nine, although it is possible he would have turned ninety later that year. As such, Culiper has the following options:
* turned 85 in 54 AC, placing his birth in 31 BC
* 85 turning 86 in 54 AC, placing his birth in 32 BC
* 86 turning 86 in 54 AC, placing his birth in 33 BC

==Cynthea Frey==
===Birth===
[[Cynthea Frey]] has been mentioned to have been 9 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 she was 8 turning 9 in 299 AC, and 9 turning 10 in 300 AC, placing her birth in 290 AC.

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

==Cyrenna Swann==
===Birth===
[[Cyrenna Swann]] gave birth to her first born child, Jared, in 249 AC the latest ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Jared Frey|Jared Frey]])''. With her firstborn child born in 249 AC the latest, and with Cyrenna having been at least twelve years old when her eldest child was born, Cyrenna cannot have been born any later than twelve years prior to 249 AC, in 237 AC.

Following rule #5, Cyrenna was no older than ~52 years old at the birth of her youngest child, Luceon Frey,{{Ref|ACOK|Appendix}} who was born in or between 248 and 258 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Luceon Frey|Luceon Frey]])''. Therefore Cyrenna would have been born no earlier than ~196 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Cyrenna was thus born in or between ~{{Date|196}} and {{Date|237}}.

===Death===
[[Cyrenna Swann]] was the second wife of Walder Frey. Walder's eldest child by his third wife, Hosteen, was born no later than 258 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Hosteen Frey|Hosteen Frey]])''. That means that Hosteen was conceived no later than 258 AC, and thus that Walder married his third wife no later than 258 AC. This means that Cyrenna could have died no later than 258 AC.

Cyrenna's youngest son, Luceon, was born in 248 AC the earliest ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Luceon Frey|Luceon Frey]])'', meaning that 248 AC is the first possible year in which Cyrenna could have died.

No further specifications can be given. Cyrenna thus died in or between {{Date|248}} and {{Date|258}}.

{{Alphabetized Navigation}}

==Daario Naharis==
===Birth===
[[Daario Naharis]] deems Quentyn Martell unfit as a husband to [[Daenerys Targaryen]] on account of being "a pup" and "a mewling boy," instead saying she needs a man beside her.{{Ref|ADWD|43}} This exchange indicates he is older than Quentyn. Since Quentyn was born in {{Date|281}} ''(See the [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Quentyn Martell|Quentyn Martell]] calculation.)'', the latest Daario could have been born in {{Date|280}}

No further specifications can be given. Daario Naharis was thus born in or before {{Date|280}}.

'''''Note:''' Daario's comments to Quentyn seem to indicate a greater age difference than a single year, but it is unclear how great a difference this is.''

==Dacey Mormont==
===Birth===
[[Dacey Mormont]] was born at least one year before her sister Alysane. Alysane was born in {{Date|278}} the latest ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Alysane Mormont|Alysane Mormont]])''. This means that Dacey was born in 277 AC the latest.

Dacey's mother Maege would have been at least twelve years old when Dacey was born. Maege Mormont was born the earliest in {{Date|239}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Maege Mormont|Maege Mormont]])'', meaning that Dacey could have been born the earliest in 251 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Dacey Mormont was thus born in or between {{Date|251}} and {{Date|277}}.

'''''Note:''' It seems most likely though, considering the ages of Maege's other children, that Dacey was born close to 277 AC.''

==Daella Targaryen (daughter of Maekar I)==
===Birth===
[[Daella Targaryen (daughter of Maekar I)|Daella Targaryen]] was at least one year younger than her brother Aemon, but at least one year older than her brother Aegon. As Aemon was born in {{Date|198}},{{Ref|AWOIAF|Aemon}} and Aegon in {{Date|200}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Aegon V Targaryen|Aegon V Targaryen]])'', Daella would have been born in 199 AC.

Daella was thus born in {{Date|199}}.

==Daemion Targaryen==
===Birth===
[[Daemion Targaryen]] had one child, [[Aerion Targaryen (son of Daemion)|Aerion Targaryen]],{{Ref|FAB|Aegon's Conquest}} who was born no later than 41 BC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Aerion Targaryen (son of Daemion)|Aerion Targaryen (son of Daemion)]])''. Daemion would have been at least twelve years old at the birth, he would have been born no later than 53 BC.

Daemion Targaryen would have been at least one year younger than his older brother, [[Baelon Targaryen (son of Aerys)|Baelon Targaryen]].{{Ref|FAB|Aegon's Conquest}} As the earliest possible year of birth for Baelon is 88 BC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Baelon Targaryen (son of Aerys)|Baelon Targaryen (son of Aerys)]])'', Daemion would have been born no earlier than 87 BC.

No further specifications can be given. Daemion was thus born in or between {{Date|-87}} and {{Date|-53}}.

==Daemon II Blackfyre==
===Birth===
[[Daemon II Blackfyre|Daemon Blackfyre]] was seven years old in 196 AC, and twenty-two in 212 AC.{{Ref|TMK}}
Being seven years old in 196 AC gives the following options:
* 6 turning 7 in 196 AC, placing his birth in 189 AC
* 7 turning 8 in 196 AC, placing his birth in 188 AC

Being twenty-two in 212 AC gives the following options:
* 21 turning 22 in 212 AC, placing his birth in 190 AC
* 22 turning 23 in 212 AC, placing his birth in 189 AC

The only overlapping year is 189 AC. Daemon was thus born in {{Date|189}}.

===Death===
[[Daemon II Blackfyre]] was captured after his rebellion failed in {{Date|212}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys I}} He was kept alive, as this would prevent Aegor Rivers from crowning his brother Haegon the new Blackfyre Pretender. Haegon was crowned such eventually, and began his own rebellion in {{Date|219}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys I}} Since Haegon was able to launch his own rebellion, Daemon will have died before, making Haegon the new Pretender.

No further specifications can be given. Daemon thus died in or between {{Date|212}} and {{Date|219}}.

==Daemon III Blackfyre==
===Birth===
[[Daemon III Blackfyre|Daemon Blackfyre]] was the eldest son of Haegon I Blackfyre,{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}} who was born in 190 AC the earliest ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Haegon I Blackfyre|Haegon I Blackfyre]])''. Haegon would have been at least twelve years old when his first child was born, meaning that Daemon III was born no earlier than 202 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Daemon was thus born in {{Date|202}} or after.

==Daemon Blackfyre (cousin of Maelys I)==
===Death===
[[Daemon Blackfyre (cousin of Maelys I)|Daemon Blackfyre]] was killed by his cousin, Maelys Blackfyre, when they fought for the command of the Golden Company.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Jaehaerys II}} As Maelys is known to have been the captain-general of the company by 258 AC,{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon V}} Daemon could not have died no later than 258 AC.

After the death of the Company's founder and first captain-general, Ser Aegor Rivers, in 241 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Aegor Rivers|Aegor Rivers]])'', the command of the Company was held only by Blackfyres up until Daemon and Maelys.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}} Therefore, Daemon could have died no earlier than 241 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Daemon thus died in or between {{Date|241}} and {{Date|258}}.

==Daemon Sand==
===Birth===
[[Daemon Sand]] was 14 years old when Arianne Martell was 14 years old.{{Ref|AFFC|13}} Arianne Martell was born in {{Date|276}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Arianne Martell|Arianne Martell]])''. She would have been 14 years old in 290 AC (13 turning 14) and 291 AC (14 turning 15).
So Daemon was 14 years old in either 290 AC or 291 AC. That gives him the following options:
* 13 turning 14 in 290 AC, placing his birth in 276 AC
* 14 turning 15 in 290 AC, placing his birth in 275 AC
* 13 turning 14 in 291 AC, placing his birth in 277 AC
* 14 turning 15 in 291 AC, placing his birth in 276 AC

Daemon is known to be older than Arianne, though not by much.<ref name="ArianneI"/> As Arianne Martell was born in {{Date|276}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Arianne Martell|Arianne Martell]])'', Daemon will have been born either the same year, or before, eliminating 277 AC as a possibility.

No further specification can be given. Daemon was thus born in either {{Date|275}} or {{Date|276}}.

==Daemon Velaryon==
===Birth===
[[Daemon Velaryon]]'s eldest son, Aethan,{{Ref|FAB|The Year of the Three Brides - 49 AC}} has been born no later than 11 BC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Aethan Velaryon|Aethan Velaryon]])''. Daemon would have been at least twelve years old at the moment of Aethan's birth, meaning that he could not have been born any later than 23 BC.

No further specifications can be given. Daemon was thus born in or before {{Date|-23}}.

==Daemon Velaryon (son of Aethan)==
===Birth===
[[Daemon Velaryon (son of Aethan)|Daemon Velaryon]] died at the age of eighty-eight in or between {{Date|77}} and {{Date|89}}.{{Ref|FAB|Heirs of the Dragon - A Question of Succession}}

No further specifications can be given. Daemon was thus born in or between {{Date|-11}} and {{Date|1}}.

===Death===
[[Daemon Velaryon (son of Aethan)|Daemon Velaryon]] died at the age of eighty-eight and was succeeded as Lord of Driftmark by his grandson, Corlys.{{Ref|FAB|Heirs of the Dragon - A Question of Succession}} Corlys was not yet Lord of the Tides in {{Date|77}},{{Ref|FAB|The Long Reign - Jaehaerys and Alysanne: Policy, Progeny, and Pain}} but was referred to as "Lord" by {{Date|89}},{{Ref|TROTD|6|4}} indicating that Corlys had inherited his deceased grandfather's seat by that time.

No further specifications can be given. Daemon thus died in or between {{Date|77}} and {{Date|89}}.

==Daena Targaryen==
===Birth===
[[Daena Targaryen]] was the third born child of King Aegon III and Queen Daenaera.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Targaryen Lineage}} She was thus at least one year younger than her brother Baelor, who was born in {{Date|144}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Baelor I Targaryen|Baelor I Targaryen]])'', placing her birth no earlier than {{Date|145}}.

Daena was sixteen years old when Baelor ascended the throne in {{Date|161}}.<ref>[[So Spake Martin]]: [https://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/Three_Maidens_in_the_Tower Three Maidens in the Tower (June 27, 2006)]</ref> As this would concern more of a historical work reference, Daena thus turned sixteen the year Baelor ascended the throne, and thus, was born in 145 AC.

Daena Targaryen was thus born in {{Date|145}}.

===Death===
[[Daena Targaryen]] refused to name the father of her son, [[Daemon I Blackfyre|Daemon Waters]], for "many years,"{{Ref|AWOIAF|Daena Targaryen}} meaning she lived at least two years past his birth, which was in {{Date|170}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}} Daena therefore died in or after {{Date|172}}.

No further specifications can be given. Daena thus died in {{Date|172}} or after.

'''''Note:''' Daena had a much shorter life than her little sister, [[Elaena Targaryen]], who is known to have lived at least to the age of 70.<ref>[https://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/Three_Maidens_in_the_Tower Three Maidens in the Tower]</ref>

==Daenaera Velaryon==
===Birth===
[[Daenaera Velaryon]] was six years old in {{Date|133}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon III}} As the source for her age concerns a historical work, rule #3 applies, meaning that Daenaera was born in {{Date|127}}.

===Death===
Daenaera Velaryon's youngest child, Princess [[Elaena Targaryen]], was born in {{Date|150}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Elaena Targaryen|Elaena Targaryen]])''.

No further specifications can be given. Daenaera thus died in {{Date|150}} or after.

==Daenerys Targaryen==
===Birth===
[[Daenerys Targaryen]] is mentioned to be fourteen years old by Eddard Stark in {{Date|298}}.{{Ref|AGOT|35}} This leaves the following possibilities:
* 13 turning 14 in 298 AC, placing her birth in 284 AC
* 14 turning 15 in 298 AC, placing her birth in 283 AC

In addition, it is known that Daenerys learns she is pregnant on her fourteenth nameday.{{Ref|AGOT|23}} Daenerys's pregnancy is discussed on two occasions in King's Landing, after the Tourney of the Hand has ended. The Tournament of the Hand of the King occurs at least six months into {{Date|298}}, if not more, giving an indication, but not specifying that Daenerys turned 14 in 298 AC.

When Daenerys is following the comet, she mentions she is still fourteen years old.{{Ref|ACOK|12}} The comet has appeared in the sky in {{Date|299}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Events#298 AC to 299 AC|298 AC to 299 AC]])''.{{Ref|AGOT|66}} This means that Daenerys has been mentioned to have been fourteen years old in both 298 AC and in 299 AC, eliminating 283 AC as Daenerys's possible birth year, leaving only the option 284 AC.

Daenerys was thus born in {{Date|284}}.

==Daenerys Targaryen (daughter of Aegon IV)==
===Birth===
Daenerys was born in or after {{Date|172}}, as the ''World of Ice & Fire'' states she was born after her father [[Aegon IV Targaryen]]'s ascension to the throne in that year.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV: The nine mistresses of Aegon IV, the Unworthy}} Further focus is found by the fact that Daenerys is stated to be two years younger than Daemon Blackfyre,{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}} who was born in 170 AC.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}} That places Daenerys's birth in 172 AC.

Daenerys was thus born in {{Date|172}}.

==Daenora Targaryen==
===Birth===
[[Daenora Targaryen]]'s elder siblings were born no earlier than {{Date|195}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Aelor Targaryen|Aelor Targaryen]] and [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Aelora Targaryen|Aelora Targaryen]])'', indicating that Daenora could not have been born any earlier than one year later, in {{Date|196}}.

In {{Date|215}}, Daenora's father, Prince Rhaegel, died,{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys I}} indicating that Daenora could not have been born any later than 216 AC, nine months after Rhaegel's death.

No further specifications can be given. Daenora was thus born in or between {{Date|196}} and {{Date|216}}.

'''''Note:''' Daenora is the only child of Prince Rhaegel not mentioned in the novella ''[[The Mystery Knight]]'', set in {{Date|212}}. It may indicate that Daenora was born no earlier than 212 AC herself.''

===Death===
Daenora's only son, Prince [[Maegor Targaryen (son of Aerion)|Maegor Targaryen]] was born in {{Date|232}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Maekar I}}

No further specifications can be given. Daenora thus died in {{Date|232}} or after.

'''''Note:''' Although if alive she would have been the only surviving child of Prince [[Rhaegel Targaryen]], Daenora has not been mentioned in relation to the [[Great Council of 233 AC]] as a possible claimant to the throne. This may suggest she was already deceased by this point, although it could also be because Daenora's claim had already been disregarded years before in favor of her uncle, King [[Maekar I Targaryen]], for unspecified reasons.''

==Daenys Targaryen==
===Birth===
[[Daenys Targaryen]] and her brother [[Gaemon Targaryen (son of Aenar)|Gaemon]] were taken to [[Dragonstone]] by their father, [[Aenar Targaryen|Aenar]], when he fled [[Valyria]] in 114 BC.{{Ref|FAB|Aegon's Conquest}} Aenar's exile was motivated by a vision foretelling the destruction of Valyria that Daenys had when she was a maiden, meaning that Daenys was born no later than 12 years prior, in 126 BC.

No further specifications can be given. Daenys was thus born in or before {{Date|-126}}.

===Death===
[[Daenys Targaryen]], her brother [[Gaemon Targaryen (son of Aenar)|Gaemon]] and their father [[Aenar Targaryen|Aenar]] were still alive when the [[Doom of Valyria]] occurred in 102 BC.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Ancient History: The Doom of Valyria}} Gaemon and Daenys ruled together Dragonstone as lord and lady after their father's death.

No further specifications can be given. Daenys thus died in {{Date|-101}} or after.

==Daeron I Targaryen==
===Birth===
[[Daeron I Targaryen|Daeron Targaryen]] was fourteen years old when he came into his throne in 157 AC.{{Ref|AGOT|14}}{{Ref|AGOT|Appendix}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron I}} Being 14 in 157 AC leaves the following possibilities:
* 13 turning 14 in 157 AC, placing his birth in 143 AC
* 14 turning 15 in 157 AC, placing his birth in 142 AC

It is also known that Daeron was eighteen years old when he died in 161 AC, which gives the same possibilities as above.{{Ref|AGOT|5}}{{Ref|AGOT|Appendix}}

As it is the work of Maester Yandel which stated that Daeron was fourteen when he ascended the throne in {{Date|157}},{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron I}} rule #3 applies, eliminating the option of 142 AC, thereby placing Daeron's birth in 143 AC.

Daeron was thus born in {{Date|143}}.

==Daeron Targaryen (son of Aegon V)==
===Birth===
[[Daeron Targaryen (son of Aegon V)|Daeron Targaryen]] was nine years old when he was betrothed to Olenna Redwyne in 237 AC. He was 18 years old in 246 AC, when he broke the betrothal.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon V}} On both occasions, rule #3 applies, placing Daeron's birth in {{Date|228}}.

==Daeron Targaryen (son of Aerys II)==
===Death===
[[Daeron Targaryen (son of Aerys II)|Daeron Targaryen]] was born in {{Date|269}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II}} He lived for only half a year,{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II}} placing his death in either 269 AC, if he was born early in the year, or 270 AC, if he was born later in the year.

==Daeron Targaryen (son of Maekar I)==
===Birth===
[[Daeron Targaryen (son of Maekar I)|Daeron Targaryen]] was eighteen years old in 209 AC.{{Ref|THK}} This gives him the following options:

* 18 turning 19 in 209 AC, placing his birth in 190 AC

No further specifications can be given. Daeron was thus born in either {{Date|190}} or {{Date|191}}.

===Death===
[[Daeron Targaryen (son of Maekar I)|Daeron Targaryen]]'s daughter Vaella was born in {{Date|222}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Maekar I}} That means that Daeron had been alive at least until 221 AC, as Vaella's conception occurred nine months before her birth, and as it is unknown when Vaella's birth occurred in the year, it is possible that the year had turned between conception and birth. This makes 221 AC Daeron's first possible year of death.

Daeron predeceased his father Maekar, who died in 233 AC.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Maekar I}}{{Ref|AGOT|Appendix}} That means that Daeron could have died as late as 233 AC, only earlier in the year than his father.

No further specifications can be given. Daeron thus died in or between {{Date|221}} and {{Date|233}}.

==Daeron Velaryon==
===Birth===
[[Daeron Velaryon]] was the grandson of Corlys Velaryon's younger brother.{{Ref|FAB|Under the Regents - The Hooded Hand}} Since Corlys was born in {{Date|53}},{{Ref|FAB|The Long Reign - Jaehaerys and Alysanne: Policy, Progeny, and Pain}} Daeron's grandfather could not have been born any earlier than {{Date|54}}. As he would have been at least twenty-four years old at the moment of Daeron's birth, Daeron could not have been born any earlier than 78 AC.

Daeron's daughter Daenaera{{Ref|FAB|Under the Regents - War and Peace and Cattle Shows}} was born in {{Date|127}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Daenaera Velaryon|Daenaera Velaryon]])''. Daeron would have been at least twelve years old at her birth, meaning he could not have been born any later than 115 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Daeron was thus born in or between {{Date|78}} and {{Date|115}}.

==Dagon Greyjoy==
===Death===
[[Dagon Greyjoy]] was alive in 212 AC.{{Ref|TMK}} His grandson, Quellon Greyjoy, is known to have been the Lord of the Iron Islands by 259 AC,<ref name=Westerlands/> demonstrating that Dagon died no later than 259 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Dagon thus died in or between {{Date|212}} and {{Date|259}}.

'''''Note:''' According to Dagon's great-grandson, Victarion, Dagon last sat in the Seastone Chair "almost a hundred years" before the events of A Song of Ice and Fire, while "a weak king sat the Iron Throne, his rheumy eyes fixed across the narrow sea where bastards and exiles plotted rebellion".{{Ref|ADWD|63}} Dagon thus died closer to 212 AC than 259 AC, presumably not beyond {{Date|221}}, when King [[Aerys I Targaryen]] died.''

==Dalbridge==
===Birth===
[[Dalbridge]] had been the squire for King Jaehaerys II.{{Ref|AWOIAF|Dalbridge}} Jaehaerys reigned from 259 AC until 262 AC.{{Ref|AGOT|Appendix}} This means that Dalbridge had been a squire to Jaehaerys in 262 AC the latest. With the minimum age of 8 for squires,<ref group="N" name=Squire/> Dalbridge had been at least 8 years old in 262 AC. This is the absolute youngest that Dalbridge could have been, showing that the absolute latest year in which he could have been born was 254 AC (8 years prior to 262 AC).

No further specifications can be given. Dalbridge was thus born in or before {{Date|254}}.

==Dalton Greyjoy==
===Birth===
[[Dalton Greyjoy]] was sixteen years old in 129 AC.{{Ref|TPATQ}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Iron Islands: The Red Kraken}} That gives him the following options:
* 15 turning 16 in 129 AC, placing his birth in 113 AC
* 16 turning 17 in 129 AC, placing his birth in 112 AC

As the sources for this information are the historical works of Maesters Yandel and Gyldyan, rule #3 applies, and the option 112 AC is eliminated.

Dalton was thus born in {{Date|113}}.

==Damion Lannister==
===Birth===
[[Damion Lannister]] was the son of Damon Lannister. Damon was born in either 244 AC or 245 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Damon Lannister (son of Jason)|Damon Lannister (son of Jason)]])''.

==Damon Lannister (lord)==
===Birth===
[[Damon Lannister (lord)|Damon Lannister]]'s eldest son, [[Tybolt Lannister]], was born at the latest in 194 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Tybolt Lannister|Tybolt Lannister]])''. Damon would have been at least twelve years old at the moment of Tybolt's birth, meaning he could not have been born after {{Date|182}}

During his participation in a tourney which took place "many years before" {{Date|196}}, Damon had already been knighted.{{Ref|THK}} Although it is unclear when the tourney took place, it would have taken place at least two years before 196 AC, placing Damon's tourney no later than {{Date|194}}. As Damon had already had been knighted at the time, he would have been at least fifteen years old by 194 AC, placing his birth no later than 179 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Damon was thus born in or before {{Date|179}}.

''Note: Damon was known as the Grey Lion due to his age by 209 AC. This would put his birth way before 179 AC.''

==Damon Lannister (son of Jason)==
===Birth===
[[Damon Lannister (son of Jason)|Damon Lannister]] was the eldest trueborn child of Jason Lannister. According to semi-canon sources,<ref name=ConCarolinas>[[So Spake Martin]]: [https://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/ConCarolinas_Reading ConCarolinas Reading (June 02, 2014)]</ref> Jason was married to Damons mother, Alys Stackspear, at the age of 15. Jason was born in {{Date|229}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Jason Lannister (son of Gerold)|Jason Lannister (son of Gerold)]])'', and as the source for Jason's age at the time of marriage concerns a historical work, rule #3 applies, placing the wedding in {{Date|244}}. As Alys was already pregnant with Jason's child at the time of their wedding,<ref name=ConCarolinas/> Damon was born within nine months of the wedding, thus either in 244 AC, the same year as the marriage, or 245 AC, the next year (if the conception had occurred less than nine months before the turning of the year).

No further specifications can be given. Damon was thus born in either {{Date|244}} or {{Date|245}}.

==Damon Vypren==
===Birth===
[[Damon Vypren]] is at least one year younger than his older sister, Elyana. Elyana was born in 262 AC the earliest ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Elyana Vypren|Elyana Vypren]])'', meaning that Damon was born in 263 AC the earliest.

In {{Date|299}}, Damon is known to have been a knight,{{Ref|ASOS|49}} indicating he was fifteen years or older at the time. Being fifteen years old or older in 299 AC places his birth no later than 284 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Damon was thus born in or between {{Date|263}} and {{Date|284}}.

==Dancer==
===Birth===
[[Dancer]], the horse, was two years old in {{Date|298}}.{{Ref|AGOT|37}} This gives Dancer two options:
* 1 turning 2, placing her birth in 296 AC
* 2 turning 3, placing her birth in 295 AC

No further specifications can be given. Dancer was thus born in either {{Date|295}} or {{Date|296}}.

==Danwell Frey==
===Birth===
[[Danwell Frey]] is younger than his brother Symond by at least one year. Symond was born the earliest in 251 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Symond Frey|Symond Frey]])'', meaning that Danwells earliest possible year of birth is 252 AC.

Danwell is older than his younger brother Merrett by at least one year. Merrett was born in 262 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Merrett Frey|Merrett Frey]])'', meaning that Danwell cannot have been born any later than 261 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Danwell was thus born in or between {{Date|252}} and {{Date|261}}.

==Darlessa Marbrand==
===Birth===
[[Darlessa Marbrand]]'s only child, [[Tyrek Lannister]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Lannister Lineage}} was born in 286 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Tyrek Lannister|Tyrek Lannister]])''. Darlessa would have been at least 12 years old at the birth, so she was born no later than {{Date|274}}.

==Darnold Arryn==
===Birth===
[[Darnold Arryn]] was the older brother of Rymond Arryn,{{Ref|FAB|Birth, Death, and Betrayal Under King Jaehaerys I}} who was born no later than {{Date|32}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Rymond Arryn|Rymond Arryn]])''. As Darnold would have been at least one year older than his brother, Darnold was born no later than 31 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Darnold was thus born in or before {{Date|31}}.

==Daven Lannister==
===Birth===
[[Daven Lannister]] mentions in 300 AC that Kevan Lannister, born in {{Date|244}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Kevan Lannister|Kevan Lannister]])'', is twice his age.{{Ref|AFFC|33}} This would place Daven's birth roughly around {{Date|272}}.

==Davos Seaworth==
===Birth===
[[Davos Seaworth]] is known to have been sailing for forty years.{{Ref|ACOK|58}} It is unknown whether or not this includes Davos's time as a sailor, or whether or not this is only referring to Davos's time as a captain. Though Davos will not have been sailing since his birth, it is unknown how old he was when he started sailing. This means we can only give an absolute minimum for an indication of Davos's age, placing his birth absolutely no later than {{Date|260}}, though it seems certain and logical that Davos was born at least a few years earlier.

==Del==
===Birth===
[[Del]] is around the age of Jon Snow, who is born in {{Date|283}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Jon Snow|Jon Snow]])''.{{Ref|ASOS|41}} That places his birth roughly around {{Date|283}}.

==Delena Florent==
===Birth===
[[Delena Florent]]'s first son, [[Edric Storm]] was born in 287 AC ''(See [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Edric Storm|Edric Storm]])''. Delena would have been at least twelve years old at his birth, meaning she was born no later than {{Date|275}}.

Delena's youngest son, Renly Norcross, was born in 297 at the latest ''(See [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Renly Norcross|Renly Norcross]])''. Following rule #5, Delena would be no older than ~52 at the birth of her youngest child, meaning that the earliest possible year of birth for Delena is ~245 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Delena was thus born between ~{{Date|245}} and {{Date|275}}.

'''''Note:''' Delena was a maiden when Robert took her,{{Ref|ACOK|10}}{{Ref|ASOS|19}} suggesting her birth year is nearer to 275 than otherwise, though how near is unclear.''

==Della Frey==
===Birth===
[[Della Frey]] is mentioned to be three years old both {{Date|299}} and {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|ACOK|Appendix}}{{Ref|AFFC|Appendix}} Being 3 years old in both 299 AC and 300 AC means Della was 2 turning 3 in 299 AC, and 3 turning 4 in 300 AC, placing her birth in {{Date|296}}.

==Delonne Allyrion==
===Birth===
[[Delonne Allyrion]] is the mother of Ser Ryon Allyrion,{{Ref|AFFC|Appendix}} who was born at the latest in 264 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Ryon Allyrion|Ryon Allyrion]])''. Delonne would have been at least twelve years old at the moment of Ryon's birth, meaning that she could not have been born any later than 252 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Delonne was thus born in or before {{Date|252}}.

==Denyo Terys==
===Birth===
[[Denyo Terys]] is known to have been twelve years old in {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|AFFC|6}} This gives the following options:
* 11 turning 12 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 288 AC
* 12 turning 13 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 287 AC

No further specifications can be given. Denyo was thus born in either {{Date|287}} or {{Date|288}}.

==Denys Mallister==
===Birth===
[[Denys Mallister]] is described as old in {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|ASOS|78}} He has been Lord Commander of the Shadow Tower for thirty-three years in 300 AC.{{Ref|ASOS|78}} It is also known that he was twenty-two years old when he was a champion.{{Ref|ASOS|78}} That would have occurred before Denys joined the Night's Watch, which would give Denys the minimum age of 55 in 300 AC, placing his birth as occurring no later than 245 AC.

Denys Mallister is younger than Jeor Mormont.{{Ref|ASOS|79}} As Jeor was born in 230 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Jeor Mormont|Jeor Mormont]])'', Denys had been born no earlier than one year later, meaning that Denys could not have been born before 231 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Denys was thus born in or between {{Date|231}} and {{Date|245}}.

'''''Note:''' In early {{Date|300}}, [[Cotter Pyke]] derisively alludes to [[Denys Mallister]] unhorsing men in tourneys fifty years ago,{{Ref|ASOS|78}} which would suggest he is born nearer to {{Date|231}} than otherwise.''

==Denys Marbrand==
===Birth===
[[Denys Marbrand]] was a [[knight]] at the [[tourney at Ashford Meadow]] in {{date|209}}, according to a semi-canon source.{{Ref|THK|[[The Hedge Knight (comics)|Graphic Novel]], 2nd edition, [[List of characters and arms in The Hedge Knight graphic novel collection|Roll of Arms]]}} As a man must be at least fifteen years old when becoming a knight, that would give Denys the minimum age of 15 in 209 AC, placing his birth as occurring no later than 194 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Denys was thus born in or before {{Date|194}}.

==Deria Martell==
===Birth===
[[Deria Martell]] was the daughter of Nymor Martell,{{Ref|TWOIAF|Dorne: Dorne Against the Dragons}} who was born in 47 BC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Nymor Martell|Nymor Martell]])''. Nymor would have been at least twelve years old at the moment of Deria's birth, indicating that 35 BC is the earliest possible year of birth for Deria.

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

===Death===
[[Deria Martell]] was the ruling Princess of Dorne in 37 AC.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aenys I}} By 49 AC, Dorne was ruled by a Prince,{{Ref|FAB|The Year of the Three Brides - 49 AC}} indicating that Deria had died by then.

No further specifications can be given. Deria thus died in or between {{Date|37}} and {{Date|49}}.

==Desmera Redwyne==
===Birth===
[[Desmera Redwyne]] is 16 years old in 299 AC.{{Ref|ACOK|Appendix}} She is still 16 years old in 300 AC.{{Ref|AFFC|Appendix}} Being 16 in both 299 AC and 300 AC means that Desmera was born in {{Date|283}}.

==Desmond Grell==
===Birth===
[[Desmond Grell]] is of an age with Hoster Tully, in {{Date|299}}{{Ref|ACOK|39}} who was born in or between 238 AC and 240 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Hoster Tully|Hoster Tully]])''. That would place Desmonds birth roughly in or between {{Date|238}} and {{Date|240}} as well.

==Devan Seaworth==
===Birth===
[[Devan Seaworth]] is known to have been eleven years old in late {{Date|299}}.{{Ref|ASOS|54}} He is twelve years old in {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|ADWD|17}} This gives him the following options:
* 10 turning 11 in 299 AC, and 11 turning 12 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 288 AC
* 11 turning 12 in 299 AC, and 12 turning 13 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 287 AC

Devan Seaworth is known to be older than Edric Storm.{{Ref|ASOS|54}} Edric was born in 287 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Edric Storm|Edric Storm]])''. Since having been born in 288 AC would make Devan younger than Edric, 288 AC is eliminated, leaving only the option of 287 AC. Devan was thus born in 287 AC, the same year as Edric, and since Devan is the elder of the two, this means his birth occurred earlier in the year.

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

==Dickon Frey==
===Birth===
[[Dickon Frey]] has been mentioned to have been five years old in {{Date|299}}{{Ref|ACOK|Appendix}} and in {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|AFFC|Appendix}} Being 5 years old in both 299 AC and 300 AC means he was 4 turning 5 in 299 AC, and 5 turning 6 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 294 AC.

Dickon was thus born in {{Date|294}}.

==Dickon Tarly==
===Birth===
[[Dickon Tarly]] is described by Brienne of Tarth to be 10 or 12 in {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|AFFC|14}} Since Brienne proclaims that she is bad in estimating ages,{{Ref|AFFC|9}} her word cannot be trusted 100% (she estimated Podrick, of 12 years of age, to be 10,{{Ref|AFFC|9}} for example).

Being either 10, 11 or 12 in 300 AC would give Dickon the following options:
* 9 turning 10 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 290 AC
* 10 turning 11 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 289 AC
* 11 turning 12 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 288 AC
* 12 turning 13 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 287 AC

With Samwell having been born in {{Date|283}} ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Samwell Tarly|Samwell Tarly]])'', and with three sisters having been born in three years time {{Ref|AGOT|26}} in between Dickon and Samwell, Dickon cannot have been born before {{Date|287}}.That would make Dickon 12 turning 13 in {{Date|300}}, when the observation of 10 or 12 is made. It is, however, not known whether the eldest of Dickons sisters was born the year after Samwell, or whether there were more years in between their births.

No further specifications can be given. Dickon was thus born in or between {{Date|287}} and {{Date|290}}.

==Domeric Bolton==
===Birth===
[[Domeric Bolton]] had been fostered. After spending four years as a page for Lady Barbrey Dustin, Domeric spent three years in the Vale as a squire to Lord Redfort.{{Ref|ADWD|32}} Fostering usually ends at the age of sixteen, when the boy becomes a man grown by law.<ref>[[So Spake Martin]]: [https://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/Some_Questions Some Questions (March 16, 2000)]</ref>
When Domeric returned home, after having enjoyed spending time with Lord Redfort's sons, he learned he had a bastard brother. Domeric sought out his bastard brother, and died shortly thereafter.{{Ref|ADWD|32}} Domeric died in 297 AC ''(see below, under "Death")''. If Domeric was sixteen years old at the time of his death (and his death thus occurred shortly after his return from the Vale), Domeric would have been born in 281 AC.

It cannot be stated with certainty that Domeric died within a year of returning to the Dreadfort, or whether multiple years passed in between. It also cannot be stated with certainty that Domeric’s fostering ended at the age of sixteen. Although Domeric was said to have had the makings of a tourney knight, Domeric is not mentioned to have received his knighthood prior to leaving the Vale.

It is, however, certain that Domeric was at least sixteen years old when he died, as Roose Bolton mentions that his son had been "a man grown" when he went to visit his bastard brother.{{Ref|ADWD|32}}

Due to the uncertainty that arises with Domeric's birth, we can thus only conclude that Domeric was born in or before 281 AC.

In any case, Domeric had been fostered by Lady Barbrey Dustin.{{Ref|ADWD|32}} As Lady Barbrey has been Barbrey Ryswell until her marriage, Domeric's fostering thus took place after Barbrey's marriage to Lord Dustin.
Lady Barbrey was married to Lord Dustin in 282 AC, and thus, technically, this is the first year where Domeric could have been fostered. With fosterings usually ending at the age of 16, and Domeric's fostering in total having lasted seven years, four of which were spend at Lady Barbrey's, Domeric would have been 9 years old at the oldest when his fostering with Lady Barbrey started.

With Domeric's age at 9 at the maximum in 282 AC, Domeric cannot have been born before 273 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Domeric was thus born in or between {{Date|273}} and {{Date|281}}.

===Death===
In {{Date|299}}, Domeric is said to have died two years ago.{{Ref|ACOK|16}} This places Domerics death in {{Date|297}}.

==Donal Noye==
===Birth===
[[Donal Noye]] was "well past thirty" when he took a blow from an axe during the Siege of Storm's End during Robert's Rebellion.{{Ref|AGOT|19}} Robert's Rebellion ended in 283 AC.{{Ref|ADWD|Appendix}} This means that Donal had been at least thirty-one years old during the siege, placing his birth no later than 252 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Donal was thus born in or before {{Date|252}}.

==Donald Tarly==
===Birth===
[[Donald Tarly]] was the father of Samantha Tarly,{{Ref|FAB|Aftermath - The Hour of the Wolf}} who was born at the latest in 113 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Samantha Tarly|Samantha Tarly]])''. Donald would have been at least twelve years old at the moment of Samantha's birth, meaning that he could not have been born any later than {{Date|101}}.

===Death===
[[Donald Tarly]]'s daughter, Samantha Tarly,{{Ref|FAB|Aftermath - The Hour of the Wolf}} was born at the earliest in 112 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Samantha Tarly|Samantha Tarly]])''. Therefore Donald could not have died before 112 AC.

By early in 130 AC, the lordship of Horn Hill was held by Alan Tarly,{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - The Red Dragon and the Gold}} placing Donald's death no later than 130 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Donald thus died in or between {{Date|112}} and {{Date|130}}.

==Donel Greyjoy==
===Birth===
[[Donel Greyjoy]] was the third son of Quellon Greyjoy.{{Ref|AFFC|1}} Thus, he would have been at least one year younger than his older brother, Quenton. Quenton was born no earlier than 254 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Quenton Greyjoy|Quenton Greyjoy]])'', indicating that Donel could not have been born any earlier than 255 AC.

Donel would have been at least nine months older than Balon, Quellon's fourth son.{{Ref|AFFC|1}} As Donel and Balon have different mothers,{{Ref|AFFC|1}} following rule #2, it is possible that they were born in the same year. Balon was born in 262 AC the latest ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Balon Greyjoy|Balon Greyjoy]])'', indicating that Donel's last possible year of birth is 262 AC as well.

No further specifications can be given. Donel was thus born in or between {{Date|255}} and {{Date|262}}.

==Donella Manderly==
===Birth===
[[Donella Hornwood|Donella Manderly]] says she is "past her childbearing years" in {{Date|299}}.{{Ref|ACOK|16}} We should not apply rule #5 here because it is not known how old Donella's son, Daryn Hornwood, is and that her phrasing is relatively vague. However, as the minimum age of "past her childbearing years" for Westerosi is at least forty-two,{{Ref|FAB|The Year of the Three Brides - 49 AC}} Donella was therefore no younger than forty-two in 299 AC, placing her birth no later than 257 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Donella was thus born in or before {{Date|257}}.

==Donnel Haigh==
===Birth===
[[Donnel Haigh]] was born at least one year after his older brother Harys. Harys was born the earliest in 251 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Harys Haigh|Harys Haigh]])'', so Donnel was born no earlier than one year later, in 252 AC.

Donnel was born at least one year before his younger brother Alyn. Alyn was born no later than 291 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Alyn Haigh|Alyn Haigh]])'', meaning that Donnel was born no later than one year before that, making Donnels last possible year of birth 290 AC.

Donnel, however, is a knight, in 299 AC,{{Ref|ASOS|49}} meaning that he is at least fifteen years old at the time. Sandor Clegane mentions in 300 AC how he has ridden and won against Donnel many times,{{Ref|ASOS|50}} suggesting that Donnel has been a knight for several years already. Sandor Clegane also states how he had almost killed Donnel in a melee. There are no known melee's that Sandor took place in 299 AC, meaning that this melee would have taken place in 298 AC the earliest. With Donnel having been at least fifteen years old in 298 AC at the latest, puts his last possible year of birth in 283 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Donnel was thus born in or between {{Date|252}} and {{Date|283}}.

==Donnel Hightower==
===Birth===
[[Donnel Hightower]] was the grandfather of Ser Eustace Hightower,{{Ref|FAB|Jaehaerys and Alysanne - Their Triumphs and Tragedies}} who was born at the latest in 41 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Eustace Hightower|Eustace Hightower]])''. Donnel would have been at least twelve years old at the time of the birth of Eustace's father and at least twenty-four at the moment of Eustace's birth. This means that Donnel was born no later than {{Date|17}}.

No further specifications can be given. Donnel was thus born in or before {{Date|17}}.

==Donnel Waynwood==
===Birth===
[[Donnel Waynwood]] is mentioned to be twenty years old in {{Date|298}}.{{Ref|AGOT|34}} For Donnel, that gives two options:
* 19 turning 20 in 298 AC, placing his birth in 278 AC
* 20 turning 21 in 298 AC, placing his birth in 277 AC

No further specifications can be given. Donnel was thus born in either {{Date|277}} or {{Date|278}}.

==Donnor Stark==
===Birth===
[[Donnor Stark]]'s next youngest sibling, [[Willam Stark]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} was born no later than 214 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Willam Stark|Willam Stark]])''. Donnor would have been born at least a year earlier, so he was born no later than {{Date|213}}.

Donnor was the eldest child of [[Beron Stark]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}} who was born no earlier than 172 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Beron Stark|Beron Stark]])''. Beron would have been at least 12 years old at Donnor's birth, so Donnor was born no earlier than 184 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Donnor was thus born in or between {{Date|184}} and {{Date|213}}.

===Death===
[[Donnor Stark]] inherited the lordship of Winterfell from his father, Lord [[Beron Stark]]. Since Beron was alive in 212 AC,{{Ref|TMK}} Donnor could not have died earlier than 212 AC.

Donnor was succeeded as Lord of Winterfell by his younger brother, [[Willam Stark|Willam]]. As Willam died in 226 AC,{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Wall and Beyond: The Wildlings}} Donnor could not have died any later than 226 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Donnor thus died in or between {{Date|212}} and {{Date|226}}.

==Dontos Hollard==
===Birth===
[[Dontos Hollard]] has been described as being “a knight of forty years” in {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|AFFC|4}} This places Dontos's age in 300 AC at roughly 40 years, placing his age between 37 and 43.

Dontos has been described as having been a young boy during the Defiance at Duskendale.{{Ref|AFFC|9}} The Defiance at Duskendale took place in {{Date|277}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II}} With Dontos still being named a “young boy” during this event, he would most likely not yet have reached the age of 16 yet (which is adulthood).

For Dontos, as per the descriptions of his age, the following options exist:
* 36 turning 37 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 263 AC
* 37 turning 38 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 262 AC
* 38 turning 39 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 261 AC
* 39 turning 40 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 260 AC
* 40 turning 41 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 259 AC
* 41 turning 42 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 258 AC
* 42 turning 43 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 257 AC
* 43 turning 44 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 256 AC

This gives the years 256 AC up to 263 AC as options for Dontos's birth.

The Defiance at Duskendale gives Dontos the following maxima:
* Being 15 turning 16 in 277 AC, placing his birth no earlier than 261 AC

Comparing this possibility to the possibilities gained by looking at Dontos's known age in 300 AC, the years of 256 AC, 257 AC, 258 AC, 259 AC and 260 AC are eliminated.

No further specifications can be given. Dontos was thus born in either {{Date|261}}, {{Date|262}}, or {{Date|263}}.

'''''Note:''' Being described as a “boy” suggests an age younger than 16 years, suggesting that Dontos's actual birth was closer to 263 AC than to 261 AC. Having been born in 263 AC (Dontos's youngest option) would have made him 13 years old in {{Date|276}}, the first possible option, and one of the most likely options, for the Defiance.''

==Doran Martell==
===Birth===
[[Doran Martell]] is 52 years old in {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|AFFC|2}} This gives Doran the following options:
* 51 turning 52 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 248 AC
* 52 turning 53 in 300 AC, placing his birth in 247 AC

No further specifications can be given. Doran was thus born in either {{Date|247}} or {{Date|248}}.

==Dorea Sand==
===Birth===
[[Dorea Sand]] is described as being eight years old in {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|AFFC|13}} That leaves two options for Dorea:
* 7 turning 8 in 300 AC, placing her birth in 292 AC
* 8 turning 9 in 300 AC, placing her birth in 291 AC

No further specifications can be given. Dorea was thus born in either {{Date|291}} or {{Date|292}}.

==Doreah==
===Birth===
[[Doreah]] is almost twenty in 298 AC,{{Ref|AGOT|23}} meaning she will turn twenty that year or the following one. That gives her the following options:
* 19 turning 20 in 298 AC, placing her birth in 278 AC
* 19 turning 20 in 299 AC, placing her birth in 279 AC

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

==Dorna Swyft==
===Birth===
[[Dorna Swyft]] was handed over as a hostage by her father, Ser Harys Swyft, to Ser Kevan Lannister. This happened after Kevan's return from the War of the Nine Penny Kings in 260 AC and before the Reyne-Tarbeck revolt which occurred in 261 AC.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Westerlands: House Lannister Under the Dragons}} This indicates Dorna was born at the latest in 261 AC.

Dorna eventually married Kevan and they had four children together. Following rule #5, Dorna was no older than ~52 years old at the birth of her youngest child, Janei Lannister,{{Ref|ACOK|Appendix}} who was born in either 296 or 297 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Janei Lannister|Janei Lannister]])''. Therefore Dorna would have been born no earlier than ~244 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Dorna was thus born in or between ~{{Date|244}} and {{Date|261}}.

==Drogo==
===Birth===
[[Drogo]] is mentioned to have been no more than 30 years old when meeting Daenerys Targaryen, in either 297 AC or 298 AC.{{Ref|AGOT|3}} Being 30 years old in 298 AC places Drogo's birth no later than 267 AC (being 30 turning 31 in 298 AC, with Drogo's nameday occurring after meeting Daenerys).

Drogo was thus born in {{Date|267}}, roughly.

==Duncan the Tall==
===Birth===
[[Duncan the Tall]] was 16 or 17 years old in {{date|209}}.{{Ref|THK}} He had squired for Ser [[Arlan of Pennytree]] since the age of 5 or 6.{{Ref|THK}} When Duncan was no more than 3 or 4 years old, the Redgrass Field, in {{date|196}}, was being fought.{{Ref|TSS}} He is 18 or 19 years old in {{date|211}}.{{Ref|TSS}} It is also known that Duncan was born "some time around {{date|192}}".{{Ref|AWOIAF|Duncan}}

Being 16 or 17 years old in 209 AC gives the following options:
* 15 turning 16, placing his birth in 193 AC
* 16 turning 17, placing his birth in 192 AC
* 17 turning 18, placing his birth in 191 AC

The same possibilities will be achieved with being 18 or 19 in 211 AC, and with being 3 or 4 in 196 AC.

Furthermore, in {{date|200}} Arlan was defeated by Prince [[Baelor Targaryen (son of Daeron II)|Baelor Targaryen]] in a tourney at Storm's End before meeting Duncan.{{Ref|THK}} Since Duncan began squiring for Arlan when he was 5 or 6, that means he became a squire later that year and his birth has to be placed not before 193 AC, being 6 turning 7 in 200 AC and 15 turning 16 in 209 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Duncan was thus born in {{date|193}}.

==Duncan Targaryen==
===Birth===
[[Duncan Targaryen]]'s parents, Aegon V Targaryen and Betha Blackwood, were married in 220 AC.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon V}} This means that Duncan's first possible year of birth is that same year, 220 AC.
Duncan would be at least one year older than his brother, Jaehaerys, who was born in 225 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Jaehaerys II Targaryen|Jaehaerys II Targaryen]])'', meaning that Duncan was born no later than 224 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Duncan was thus born in or between {{Date|220}} and {{Date|224}}.

==Dunstan Drumm==
===Birth===
[[Dunstan Drumm]] is mentioned to be younger than Erik Ironmaker.{{Ref|AFFC|19}} Since Erik was born in either 211 AC or 212 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued)#Erik Ironmaker|Erik Ironmaker]])'', Dustan will have been born in {{Date|212}} or later.

==Duram Bar Emmon==
===Birth===
[[Duram Bar Emmon]] was 14 years old in early {{Date|299}}.{{Ref|ACOK|Prologue}} He was 15 in late 299 AC,{{Ref|ASOS|25}} between the Battle of the Blackwater and Joffrey’s wedding on the first day of {{Date|300}}. He was also 15 years old in 300 AC.{{Ref|AFFC|Appendix}} Being both 14 and 15 in 299 AC means Duram was 14 turning 15 in 299 AC, placing his birth in {{Date|284}}.

==Dyanna Dayne==
===Birth===
[[Dyanna Dayne]] married Prince Maekar Targaryen and they had six children together. The eldest of those was Daeron Targaryen, who was born in 190 or 191 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Daeron Targaryen (son of Maekar I)|Daeron Targaryen (son of Maekar I)]])''. Dyanna would have been at least twelve years old at the moment of Daeron's birth, meaning that 179 AC is the latest possible year of birth for Dyanna.

Following rule #5, Dyanna was no older than ~52 years old at the birth of her youngest child, Rhae Targaryen,{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Targaryen Lineage}} who was born in or between 201 and 209 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Rhae Targaryen|Rhae Targaryen]])''. Therefore Dyanna would have been born no earlier than ~149 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Dyanna was thus born in or between ~{{Date|149}} and {{Date|179}}.

'''''Note:''' Maekar was born the fourth son of King Daeron II Targaryen in or between 174 and 179 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued2)#Maekar I Targaryen|Maekar I Targaryen]])''. As a prince of the blood, Maekar probably married a woman close to his age. Therefore Dyanna birth year is likely closer to 179 AC than 149 AC.''

===Death===
[[Dyanna Dayne]] is mentioned to have died by the time the Ashford Tourney takes place in {{Date|209}}.{{Ref|THK}} This makes it possible that Dyanna had died earlier that same year, making 209 AC the last possible year of her death.

Dyanna's youngest child, Rhae, was born no earlier than 201 AC ''(see [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Rhae Targaryen|Rhae Targaryen]])''. This means that Dyanna lived at least long enough to give birth to Rhae, making her first possible year of death 201 AC.

No further specifications can be given. Dyanna thus died in or between {{Date|201}} and {{Date|209}}.

Errata of The World of Ice & Fire

2026-09-04T18:28:01Z

Somnium Draconis: Not an erratum: poleboats and ferries were built by the Orphans, and the Princes established them as a town

{{italic title|string=The World of Ice & Fire}}
This page contains the errata for ''[[The World of Ice & Fire]]''.
{{Errata navigation}}
==Background==
In his ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'' series, [[George R. R. Martin]] uses the "unreliable narrator". As such, not all inconsistencies in the books that are mistakes. However, Martin has expressed that accidental mistakes can distract from the planned inconsistencies, making them less effective.<ref>[[So Spake Martin]]: [http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/1319 TO BE CONTINUED (CHICAGO, IL; MAY 6-8) (MAY 6, 2001)]</ref> As such, the pages indexed here represent a collection of gathered possible and confirmed mistakes and, if possible, their confirmed corrections within Martin's series.

What you will not find on this page are discussions of information from the [[So Spake Martin]]s which contradicts with more recently released printed material, contradictions found in sample chapters from unreleased books (e.g. ''[[The Winds of Winter]]''), or speculations about possible solutions.

Examples of what will not be found on the errata pages include:
* According to [[Osha]], "the blue star in the rider's eye" of the constellation the [[Ice Dragon]] points north.{{Ref|ACOK|35}} However, when [[Bran Stark]] later recalls Osha's statement, he does so incorrectly: "The blue star in the dragon's eye pointed the way north, as Osha told him once."{{Ref|ASOS|24}}
* Differences in views on certain events. While the "commonly told story about the [[Battle of the Bells]]" apparently states that Robert I Baratheon and Jon Connington did not come face to face during the battle (as stated by [[Maester]] [[Yandel]] ["''Rightly famed is Robert's grand victory at Stoney Sept, also called the Battle of the Bells, where he slew the famous Ser Myles Mooton—once Prince Rhaegar's squire—and five men besides, and might well have killed the new Hand, Lord Connington, had the battle brought them together.''"]{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Fall of the Dragons: Robert's Rebellion}} and [[Harwin]] of [[Winterfell]] ["''Robert came out of hiding to join the fight when the bells began to ring. He slew six men that day, they say. One was Myles Mooton, a famous knight who'd been Prince Rhaegar's squire. He would have slain the Hand too, but the battle never brought them together.''"]),{{Ref|ASOS|29}} Connington himself recalls it rather differently ("''Bells and battle followed, and Robert emerged from his brothel with a blade in hand, and almost slew Jon on the steps of the old sept that gave the town its name.''").{{Ref|ADWD|61}}

==The World of Ice & Fire==
===The Reign of the Dragons: The Conquest===
* The original text suggests Archmaester [[Gyldayn]] lived in King [[Aegon V]]'s time and his work on history was sent to Archmaester [[Gerold]], then lost in time, with only fragments remaining.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Reign of the Dragons}} However, George R. R. Martin later decided to let Gyldayn live into [[Robert I Baratheon]]'s reign, so his history book could cover the entire Targaryen Dynasty.<ref name=Gyldayn>FIRE AND BLOOD EXCERPT: [https://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?/topic/152215-fire-and-blood-excerpt/&do=findComment&comment=8266072 Gyldayn retcon (November 20, 2018)]</ref> Hence in latest prints, Gyldayn shared his uncompleted work with Archmaester [[Perestan]], who then informed [[Yandel]]. And Yandel persuaded Gyldayn to permit the use of passages from Gyldayn's work in Yandel's book.<ref name=GyldaynRetcon>[https://www.reddit.com/r/asoiaf/comments/eyf4bc When did they update The World of Ice & Fire? (February 3, 2020)]</ref>
* It says Aegon marched northeast, from Aegonfort to the Gods Eye and Harrenhal.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Reign of the Dragons: The Conquest}} However, the direction should be "northwest". The error is fixed in ''[[Fire & Blood]]''. {{Ref|FAB|Aegon's Conquest}}
* It says "Thrice Argilac the Arrogant led his knights against the Baratheon positions...and the '''third''' and final charge of the Storm King and his knights broke through the Baratheon center...only to come upon Queen Rhaenys and Meraxes."{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Reign of the Dragons: The Conquest}} It should be the fourth charge that broke through the Baratheon center. The error is fixed in ''Fire & Blood''. {{Ref|FAB|Aegon's Conquest}}

===The Targaryen Kings===
'''Aegon I'''
* It is mentioned that, as a result of the [[First Dornish War]], there were "would-be assassins in King’s Landing and the Red Keep itself".{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon I}} However, the [[Red Keep]] was built decades after the First Dornish War ended.
* A first-run print of ''The World of Ice & Fire'' includes a mention of Prince [[Aenys I Targaryen|Aenys Targaryen]] as the "Prince of Dragonstone" during Aegon I's reign in ''The Targaryen Kings: Aegon I'', but this was confirmed to be a first print error which has been corrected in later versions.<ref>Twitter: Elio & Linda @Westerosorg [https://twitter.com/westerosorg/status/818491343211233280 Prince of Dragonstone]</ref>

'''Aenys I'''
* It is said King [[Aegon I Targaryen]] "passed at the age of four-and-sixty" in the year {{Date|37}}. However, since he was born in the year {{Date|-27}} and had conquered the Seven Kingdoms at the age of twenty-seven, in {{Date|1}}, after a war of two years ({{Date|-2}}-1 AC),{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Reign of the Dragons: The Conquest}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon I}}{{Ref|FAB|Aegon’s Conquest}}{{Ref|FAB|Reign of the Dragon—The Wars of King Aegon I}} Aegon was actually sixty-three years old when he died in 37 AC.
* King [[Aenys I Targaryen]] was said to be "crowned with great ceremony in the Red Keep in the midst of its construction, donning an ornate golden crown rather than his father’s circlet of Valyrian steel."{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aenys I}} However, in ''[[Fire & Blood]]'' it is described how he received his ornate golden crown in [[Oldtown]].{{Ref|FAB|The Sons of the Dragon}}
* [[Alyssa Velaryon]]'s mother is said to have been a Targaryen.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aenys I}} However, in ''[[Fire & Blood]]'' she is identified as Lady [[Alarra Massey]].{{Ref|FAB|The Year of the Three Brides - 49 AC}}
* [[Jonos Arryn]] is said to have "died by the noose, at Maegor's hand",{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aenys I}} but as of ''[[Fire & Blood]]'', Jonos died by being thrown through the [[Moon Door]] by his own men.{{Ref|FAB|The Sons of the Dragon}}
* Aenys I Targaryen is stated to be attacked by the [[Poor Fellows]] "in the castle", which implied the half-completed Red Keep. However, in ''[[The Sons of the Dragon]]'' and ''Fire & Blood'' he is described to have lived in a manse atop Visenya's Hill by that time.{{Ref|tsotd}}{{Ref|FAB|The Sons of the Dragon}}

'''Maegor I'''
* Princess [[Rhaena Targaryen (daughter of Aenys I)|Rhaena Targaryen]], the daughter of King [[Aenys I Targaryen]] and Queen [[Alyssa Velaryon]], was born in {{Date|23}}.{{Ref|tsotd}} In the chapter concerning Maegor I's reign, the section discussing the possible betrothal between Rhaena and Maegor ("[Ceryse Hightower] was advanced by her uncle, the High Septon, after he protested the betrothal of the thirteen-year-old Prince Maegor to Maegor's newborn niece, Princess Rhaena. Ceryse and Maegor were married in 25 AC.") implies that Maegor was thirteen years old at the time of the suggestion, placing the proposed betrothal in {{Date|25}}. However, the wording was formulated as such as to get Maegor's age at his marriage in {{Date|25}} across,<ref>[TWOIAF Spoilers] Inconsistency or Intentional?: [http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?/topic/119534-twoiaf-spoilers-inconsistency-or-intentional/&do=findComment&comment=6434163 Maegor's marriage] (November 9, 2014)</ref> not his age at the suggestion of the betrothal, which has been established to have occurred in {{Date|23}} shortly after Maegor had turned eleven.{{Ref|FAB|The Sons of the Dragon}}<ref group="N">Printed versions of ''Fire & Blood'' state that the suggestion of a betrothal occurred shortly after Maegor turned twelve, placing the event in {{Date|24}}. Maegor's age was adjusted to eleven in the ebook editions.</ref>
* Ceryse Hightower's father was stated as [[Martyn Hightower]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Maegor I}} which is corrected to [[Manfred Hightower (son of Addam)|Manfred Hightower]] in ''Fire & Blood''.{{Ref|FAB|The Sons of the Dragon}}
* The chapter on the reign of Maegor I incorrectly places the mysterious death of the High Septon (following Maegor's threat of burning Oldtown) in {{Date|44}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Maegor I}} However, ''[[The Sons of the Dragon]]'' places this event in {{Date|43}}. This date is the correct one;<ref>The Book of Swords - The Sons of the Dragon SPOILERS: [http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?/topic/148863-the-book-of-swords-the-sons-of-the-dragon-spoilers/&do=findComment&comment=8054408 Mysterious death of the High Septon] (October 11, 2017)</ref> Seemingly, ''[[The World of Ice & Fire]]'' accidentally mixed the mysterious death of this High Septon when Maegor threatens Oldtown (in {{Date|43}}) with the natural death of his successor a year later.
* It is stated that [[Septon Moon]] and Ser [[Joffrey Doggett]] led the [[Poor Fellows]] against King Maegor I.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Maegor I}} However, this was changed for ''Fire & Blood'', where Ser [[Joffrey Doggett]] led the [[Warrior's Sons]].{{Ref|FAB|The Sons of the Dragon}}
* The chapter on the reign of Maegor I incorrectly states that [[Alys Harroway]] was the first of his wives to become pregnant in {{Date|48}}. It has been confirmed that the correct date is {{Date|44}},<ref>[TWOIAF Spoilers] Inconsistency or Intentional?: [http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?/topic/119534-twoiaf-spoilers-inconsistency-or-intentional/&do=findComment&comment=6413683 Death of Alys Harroway] (November 3, 2014)</ref> as is indeed stated in ''[[The Sons of the Dragon]]''.{{Ref|tsotd}}
*On the eve of Maegor's death, after long discussion, the lords departed "the council chamber", leaving Maegor alone.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Maegor I}} However, in ''Fire & Blood'' the discussion was held in the throne room.{{Ref|FAB|The Sons of the Dragon}}

'''Jaehaerys I'''
* The chapter on the reign of [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen]] say "[[Robar Baratheon]]" was Lord Protector of the Realm and Hand of the King in the early years. However, the original manuscript used both "Robar" and "Rogar", with the former being chosen for ''The World of Ice & Fire''<ref>The Book of Swords - The Sons of the Dragon SPOILERS: [http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?/topic/148863-the-book-of-swords-the-sons-of-the-dragon-spoilers/&do=findComment&comment=8053539 Robar and Rogar] (October 10, 2017)</ref> as it was the name Martin wrote down towards the end of the manuscript.<ref>[https://youtu.be/1jtLHMFBUGw?t=18m27s Vassals of Kingsgrave podcast] (November 18, 2017)</ref> As revealed by Garcia in July 2018, Martin decided he preferred the name "Rogar",<ref>FIRE AND BLOOD Volume 1: [https://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?/topic/147116-fire-and-blood-volume-1/&do=findComment&comment=8211449 Robar vs Rogar] (July 24, 2018)</ref> which is used in ''[[Fire & Blood]]''.
*In the chapter on Jaehaerys I's reign, it is stated that Jaehaerys became king at the age of 14 in 48 AC and married his sister once he reached his majority two years later, in {{Date|50}}. It is also stated that the marriage lasted 46 years. However, the marriage only ended at Alysanne's death in either {{Date|99}} or {{Date|100}}, forty-nine or fifty years after the wedding. Regardless, the statement of forty-six years is still correct, as the years of the First and Second Quarrel (both having lasted a year or two), are not counted among their "married years".<Ref>[TWOIAF Spoilers] Inconsistency or Intentional?: [http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?/topic/119534-twoiaf-spoilers-inconsistency-or-intentional/&do=findComment&comment=6415733 The Quarrels (November 3, 2014)]</ref>
* The [[:File: Marc Simonetti Tournament.jpg|artwork by Marc Simonetti]] depicting the great tourney of {{Date|98}}, shows King's Landing with the [[Great Sept of Baelor]] atop [[Visenya's Hill]], though it would not be built for nearly a century.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Baelor I}} A [[grand sept]] was atop Visenya's Hill during that time,{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon I}} but the white marble, the dome, and the seven crystal towers clearly depict Baelor's Sept.
* The text claims Jaehaerys and Septon Barth reconciled with the Faith, by dispatching Septon Barth to Oldtown to speak with the High Septon and to forge a lasting agreement. This is not so in ''[[Fire & Blood]]''.
* In the chapter discussing the reign of Jaehaerys I, the castle town of [[Harrentown]]{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Jaehaerys I}} is misspelled as “Harrenton”.
* Princess [[Rhaenys Targaryen (daughter of Aemon)|Rhaenys Targaryen]], is described as Prince [[Aemon Targaryen (son of Jaehaerys I)|Aemon Targaryen]]'s eldest daughter in the chapter on [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen]]'s reign.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Jaehaerys I}} However, she is his only daughter (and child).{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Targaryen Lineage}}
* The text implies [[Gael Targaryen]] drowned herself with "a growing belly", but in ''[[Fire and Blood]]'' she drowned herself after stillbirth.{{Ref|FAB|The Long Reign - Jaehaerys and Alysanne: Policy, Progeny, and Pain}}
* Jaehaerys I and Queen Alysanne's ashes are said to be buried beneath the Red Keep.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Jaehaerys I}} However, ''Fire & Blood'' revealed their ashes were interred on Dragonstone.{{Ref|FAB|Heirs of the Dragon - A Question of Succession}}
* The chapter on Jaehaerys I's reign, Septon [[Barth]] is stated to have died in {{Date|99}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Jaehaerys I}} ''[[Fire and Blood]]'' states on several occasions that Barth died in {{Date|98}}.{{Ref|FAB|The Long Reign - Jaehaerys and Alysanne: Policy, Progeny, and Pain}}
* The text suggests [[Alicent Hightower]] came to King's Landing and became Jaehaerys's companion at fifteen.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Jaehaerys I}} However, according to ''Fire & Blood'', she came to King's Landing at thirteen and became Jaehaerys's companion at fifteen.<ref>The ASOIAF wiki thread: [https://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?/topic/34958-the-asoiaf-wiki-thread/&do=findComment&comment=8597731 Alicent's age] (November 3, 2020)</ref>

'''Viserys I'''
* [[Laenor Velaryon]] is described as having "the blood of the dragon on both sides",{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Viserys I}} a statement repeated in ''[[The Rogue Prince]]''. However, ''[[Fire & Blood]]'' removed this claim.{{Ref|FAB| Heirs of the Dragon - A Question of Succession}}
* Grand Maester [[Orwyle]] is described as having amputated King [[Viserys I Targaryen]]'s fingers in {{Date|128}} in the chapter on Viserys I's reign,{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Viserys I}} whereas ''[[The Rogue Prince]]'' states this was done by maester [[Gerardys]]. ''Fire & Blood'' confirmed that Gerardys is correct, although the year in question was changed to {{Date|126}}.{{Ref|FAB|Heirs of the Dragon - A Question of Succession}} The issue is partially fixed in later version of ''The World of Ice & Fire''.<ref name="kindlechange">Errors in the WOIAF: [https://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?/topic/120966-errors-in-the-woiaf/&do=findComment&comment=8300851 Changes in latest Kindle version] (February 12, 2019)]</ref>

'''Aegon II'''
* It is stated [[Stone Hedge]] was taken during the [[Battle of the Burning Mill]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon II}} However, they were two separate battles.{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - The Red Dragon and the Gold}}<ref>Inconsistencies, plot holes, and missing details in TSOTD, TRP, and TPATQ: [https://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?/topic/148940-inconsistencies-plot-holes-and-missing-details-in-tsotd-trp-and-tpatq/&do=findComment&comment=8142112 Stone Hedge and Burning Mill] (March 8, 2018)</ref>
* It is stated Septon [[Barth]], who died decades before the [[Dance of the Dragons]], was dubious about the smallfolk's claim that the [[Cannibal (dragon)|Cannibal]] have lurked on [[Dragonstone]] even before the coming of [[House Targaryen]]. In ''[[Fire & Blood]]'' Barth is replaced by [[Eustace (Dance of the Dragons)|Eustace]], living at the time of the war.{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - The Red Dragon and the Gold}}
* In the chapter on [[Aegon II Targaryen]]'s reign, [[Battle of the Gullet]] occurred in {{Date|129}}.

* [[Bryndon Hightower]]'s name{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - Rhaenyra Triumphant}}{{Ref|TPATQ}} is spelled as "Brynden".{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon II}}
*In the chapter on Aegon II 's reign, [[Willum Royce]] is changed into [[Willam Royce]] in ''Fire & Blood''.{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - Rhaenyra Overthrown}}<ref><nowiki>[Spoilers]</nowiki> Fire and Blood Errata: [https://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?/topic/152641-spoilers-fire-and-blood-errata/&do=findComment&comment=8270442]</ref>
*It is mentioned that some of [[Corlys Velaryon]]'s [[sworn swords]] scaled the [[Red Keep]]'s walls trying to free the Sea Snake, only to be hanged when they were caught. However, according to ''[[Fire & Blood]]'', several men loyal to [[House Velaryon]] slipped over the walls of [[King's Landing]], intent on making their way back to [[Driftmark]], while Ser [[Denys Woodwright]] and Ser [[Thoron True]] attempted to cut their way into the dungeons of the Red Keep in order to liberate Lord Corlys.{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - Rhaenyra Overthrown}}
*[[Baela Targaryen]] was twice referred to as "princess", which should be "maid" or "lady".
*It is mentioned that [[Helaena Targaryen]]'s death and the subsequent [[Riot of King's Landing (Dance of the Dragons)|riot of King's Landing]] began the same day when the [[Battle Above the Gods Eye]] was fought, on the twenty-second day of the fifth moon of {{Date|130}}. However, ''[[Fire & Blood]]'' does not confirm that temporal connection,{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - Rhaenyra Overthrown}} and ''[[The Rise of the Dragon]]'' says that the uprising happened days after [[Daemon Targaryen]]'s death.{{Ref|trotd|8}}

'''Aegon III'''
* It is stated that eleven-year-old King Aegon agreed to make Cregan Stark his Hand.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon III}} However, ''Fire & Blood'' specifies the king was still ten years old at the time.{{Ref|FAB|Aftermath - The Hour of the Wolf}}
* The section on the regents in the chapter of Aegon III's reign states that [[Thaddeus Rowan]] retired in {{Date|136}} and [[Corwyn Corbray]] died in {{Date|134}}. However, ''Fire & Blood'' sets both events at {{Date|135}}.{{Ref|FAB|The Lysene Spring and the End of Regency}}
* The ladies [[Baela Targaryen|Baela]] and [[Rhaena Targaryen (daughter of Daemon)|Rhaena Targaryen]], Prince [[Daemon Targaryen]]'s twin daughters, are both called princess in the chapter on [[Aegon III Targaryen]]'s reign,{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon III}} while they are referred to as ladies in ''[[The Princess and the Queen]]'' and elsewhere in ''The World of Ice & Fire''.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon II}} This has been fixed in later editions of ''The World of Ice & Fire'', where they are correctly called "ladies".<ref>The ASOIAF wiki thread: [http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?/topic/34958-the-asoiaf-wiki-thread/&do=findComment&comment=8080330 Rhaena & Baela] (November 23, 2017)</ref>
* [[Daenaera Velaryon]] was claimed to be "the last of a thousand maids who had been presented" at the [[Maiden's Day Ball]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon II}} However, in ''Fire & Blood'' there were more than a thousand maids at the ball, and "fewer than a dozen maids" behind Daenaera.{{Ref|FAB|Under the Regents - War and Peace and Cattle Shows}}

'''Baelor I'''
* The section on the sisters of [[Baelor I Targaryen]] in the chapter on Baelor I's reign states that "[...] and that the child conceived that night was by her cousin Aegon - he who later became King Aegon the Unworthy." in reference to the conception of [[Elaena Targaryen]]'s son [[Viserys Plumm]] in {{Date|176}}. However, the statement is incorrect in stating that "her cousin Aegon" would later become King Aegon; Aegon was already king in 176 AC.
* The section on the sisters of [[Baelor I Targaryen]] in the chapter on Baelor I's reign states that Princess Elaena Targaryen had two children by her second husband, [[Ronnel Penrose]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Baelor I}} but the family tree states that Elaena had four children with her Penrose husband.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Targaryen Lineage}}

===The Fall of the Dragons===
* The dates and locations of the [[Anniversary Tourney]] of {{Date|272}} and [[Lannisport tourney]] of {{Date|276}} are confused across several chapters.

===The Seven Kingdoms===
'''The North''':
* Earlier prints of ''[[The World of Ice & Fire]]'' state that Lord [[Ellard Stark]] was the lord who had been forced to give up the New Gift. {{Ref|TWOIAF|The North: The Lords of Winterfell}} However, it has been confirmed that this is an error,<ref>[TWOIAF Spoilers] Inconsistency or Intentional?: [http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?/topic/119534-twoiaf-spoilers-inconsistency-or-intentional/&do=findComment&comment=6483268 Ellard Stark]</ref> and that the statement would be replaced by "the Starks were glad" in later prints, leaving it unknown for the time being which Stark had been the lord in question. In the latest version, the statement is changed to "''Though in these days it is said that Lord '''Alaric''' Stark was glad to aid the Night’s Watch with the Gift, and took little convincing, the truth is otherwise. Letters from Lord Stark’s '''sons''' to the Citadel, asking the maesters to provide precedents against the forced donation of property, made it plain that the Starks were not eager to do as King Jaehaerys bid.''"<ref name="kindlechange" />

'''The Riverlands''':
* In the first edition, the Riverlands map labels the [[High Road]] as the "River Road".
* The Riverlands map labels the [[Inn at the Crossroads]] south of the [[Trident]], while the books state it lies to the north.{{Ref|AGOT|28}}
* In the first print, in the chapter on House Tully, it is incorrectly stated that "As [[Maegor I Targaryen|his]] enemies rose around him, the Tullys rallied to the banners of Prince Jaehaerys Targaryen, son of the slain Prince Aegon, in the final year of his cruel uncle's reign". Jaehaerys was Aegon's younger brother, not his son. This has been fixed in later prints,<ref name=tridenttullymariah/> changing "son" to "brother".
* [[Benedict I Justman]] is called "the first of the Andal kings" in the [[riverlands]], but immediately after is identified as the bastard son of a Blackwood and a Bracken, both First Men houses.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Riverlands}} According to Elio Garcia, co-author of ''The World of Ice & Fire'', "What [George R.

'''The Riverlands & The Iron Islands''':
* The chapter on the [[riverlands]] section says that House Justman came to power after the Andal invasion. (The first of the Andal kings to bring all the riverlands under his sway was a bastard born of a tryst between two ancient enemies, the Blackwoods and the Brackens). The line of House Justman was ended by Qhored the Cruel. (Their line was ended when Qhored Hoare, King of the Iron Islands, murdered the sons of King Bernarr II whilst they were held captive in Pyke. Their father did not long survive them, provoked into a hopeless war for vengeance against the ironborn.) After "a hundred years of conflict", House Teague won the rule over the riverlands.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Riverlands}} However, the chapter on the iron islands section mentions that the Andals arrived on the mainland of Westeros only after the Iron Kings had taken power.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Iron Islands: The Iron Kings}} The Iron Kings ruled after Qhored, a High King, creating an inconsistency. Therefore, the following changes are made in later version of ''The World of Ice & Fire''.<ref>Errors in the WOIAF: [http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?/topic/120966-errors-in-the-woiaf/&do=findComment&comment=6704111 That Bloody Ironborn section (February 5, 2015)]</ref><ref name="kindlechange" />
** In The Iron Islands: Driftwood Crowns, the sentence "By [[Qhored I Hoare|his day]], the First Men of the green lands had largely abandoned the shores of the Sunset Sea for fear of the reavers." is to be changed into "By his day, the men of the green lands had largely abandoned the shores of the Sunset Sea for fear of the reavers."
** In The Iron Islands: Driftwood Crowns, the sentence "And late in the Age of Heroes, another crisis weakened and divided the ironborn further still." Is to be changed into "And then came another crisis weakened and divided the ironborn further still."
** In The Iron Islands: The Iron Kings, the sentence "The arrival of the Andals in the Seven Kingdoms only hastened the decline of the iron islands." Is to be changed into "The arrival of the Andals in the Seven Kingdoms centuries before had only hastened the decline of the iron islands."
: With these changes, the situation becomes such that there were Andals present in the late driftwood king period, who had slowly begun to have an effect on things to start with but eventually became more and more of a problem for the ironborn. As formulated by Elio Garcia, "The Justmans were a post-Andal house some decades/centuries after the fall of the Mudds, they lasted three centuries, Qhored I Hoare took them out, but the decline of the ironborn that followed was obviously tied to the growing presence of the Andals on the mainland. And then as to Teague, Torrence Teague started a dynasty that eventually lost the throne, but centuries later another Teague had hold of things. No errata for that last, don't think we'll change anything regarding the Teagues in the text."
* As follows from the above mentioned changes, the sentence "The kings who followed Qhored played a part in that, yet the men of the green lands were likewise growing stronger. The First Men were building longships of their own."{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Iron Islands: Driftwood Crowns}} should be changed to "The kings who followed Qhored played a part in that, yet the men of the green lands were likewise growing stronger. They/The rivermen were building longships of their own", as Qhored lived after the Andal invasion.<ref>The ASOIAF wiki thread: [https://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?/topic/34958-the-asoiaf-wiki-thread/&do=findComment&comment=8197118 Qhored Hoare (June 25, 2018)]</ref>
* Two different locations are given for the place where [[Harwyn Hoare]] came ashore in the riverlands. The chapter on the riverlands states that "Crossing Ironman's Bay with a hundred longships, Harwyn's force landed forty leagues south of Seagard and marched inland to the Blue Fork, carrying their ships with them on their shoulders in a feat the singers of the isles still celebrate.",{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Riverlands}} while the section on the Iron Islands states "Harwyn assembled a host and led it across the bay on a hundred of his father's longships. Landing unchallenged north of Seagard, they carried their ships overland to the Blue Fork of the Trident, then swept downstream with fire and sword."{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Iron Islands: The Black Blood}} The Blue Fork is located south of Seagard.

'''The Vale''':
* The map in the chapter on the Vale gives a wrong location for [[Saltpans]] and [[Maidenpool]], placing them farther east than where them are supposed to be.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Vale}}<ref>''[[A Storm of Swords]]'', [[A Storm of Swords-Map of the South|Map of the South]]</ref><ref>''[[A Dance with Dragons]]'', [[A Dance with Dragons-Map of the South|Map of the South]]</ref> The map in the chapter on the [[riverlands]] is correct.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Riverlands}}
* The [[Lady Forlorn]] of [[Robar II Royce]]'s era is described to be a [[Valyrian steel]] sword.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Vale}} It has been confirmed that "Valyrian steel" should have been removed from the description.<ref>[https://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?/topic/119082-new-twoiaf-excerpt-from-the-app-spoiler/&do=findComment&comment=6360748 Regarding Lady Forlorn's description]</ref>
*The chapter on [[House Arryn]] states that House Arryn married into [[House Targaryen]] twice. However, it is supposed to be trice ([[Daella Targaryen (daughter of Jaehaerys I)|Daella Targaryen]] to Lord [[Rodrik Arryn]], [[Aemma Arryn]] to [[Viserys I Targaryen]], and [[Alys Arryn (wife of Rhaegel)|Alys Arryn]] to [[Rhaegel Targaryen]]).

'''The Iron Islands''':
* [[Pyke]] is described as located on "half a dozen islets and sea stacks".{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Iron Islands: Pyke}} However, [[Theon]] described it as located on "three bare and barren islands and a dozen towering stacks of rock".{{Ref|ACOK|11}}
* It is stated "The Red Kraken himself led the attack that captured Kayce."{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Iron Islands}} But in ''Fire & Blood'' Joanna Lannister and her westermen were able to rescue Kayce from being captured.{{Ref|FAB|Under the Regents - The Hooded Hand}} It is suggested to modify the statement to "The Red Kraken himself led the attack that nearly captured Kayce" in later prints.<ref>The ASOIAF wiki thread: [https://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?/topic/34958-the-asoiaf-wiki-thread/&do=findComment&comment=8946110 (June 3, 2023)]</ref>

'''The Westerlands''':
* The westerlands map places the [[Golden Tooth]] too southwest, compared with its location in ''[[The Lands of Ice and Fire]]''.{{Ref|TLOIAF|Westeros}}
* It is stated that "''The Lannisters of Lannisport'' prospered, built great walls around their city to defend it from those (chiefly ironborn) who sought to steal their wealth, and ''soon became kings''",{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Westerlands}} whereas in George R.R.

''The Lannisters of Casterly Rock became kings''".<ref name=sample>georgerrmartin.com: [http://www.georgerrmartin.com/world-of-ice-and-fire-sample/ WORLD OF ICE AND FIRE SAMPLE]</ref> The latter seems to be correct.
* Earlier prints list House Parren as both a family from the westerlands and the Reach.

* The chapter on The Westerlands discusses King Tyrion III and his son Gerold II who reigned the westerlands during the Andal Invasion.

Orphans of the Greenblood

2026-09-04T18:25:39Z

Somnium Draconis: /* Culture */

[[File:Drazenka Kimpel GreenbloodTrader.png|thumb|right|350px|[[Greenblood]] trader, by Drazenka Kimpel © Fantasy Flight Games]]

'''Orphans of the Greenblood''' are the descendants of the [[Rhoynar]] who fled in [[Nymeria]]'s [[ten thousand ships]] to [[Dorne]] but refused to assimilate into Dornish culture.

==Culture==
The orphans still mourn the loss of their distant homeland in [[Essos]], and so continue to practice the traditions of their river-faring ancestors. They consider themselves to be "orphans" as they are of the [[Rhoynar]] and have been orphaned from their "Mother", the river [[Rhoyne]], which in their faith also holds a divine status. Therefore, they also identify the river as "[[Mother Rhoyne]]."{{Ref|AFFC|21}}

The orphans live on [[Ships|boats]] along the river [[Greenblood]]. It is said that when they first came to [[Dorne]], they built their smaller boats from the burned carcasses of the ships they used to cross the [[narrow sea]].{{Ref|AFFC|21}} The pole boats have hardly any draft to speak of. Painted and carved, they have low roofs and wide beams. The orphans' boats are wonderfully carved and painted. For example, one boat is painted in shades of green, with a curved wooden tiller shaped like a [[mermaid]], and fish faces peering through her rails. Poles and ropes and jars of olive oil clutter her decks, and iron lanterns swing fore and aft.{{Ref|AFFC|21}} The orphans pole their boats up and down the river and its tributaries, fishing, picking fruits, and doing whatever work is required.{{Ref|AFFC|21}}

Some orphans have been known to sell cloth and [[spices]] up and down the Greenblood.{{Ref|AFFC|2}} They dance and sing on the river, and are also said to have great knowledge of the [[Medicine|healing arts]], curing warts and producing the best midwives.{{Ref|AFFC|21}} They speak the [[Rhoynish language]], though in secret after it was banned by the [[Red Princes]].{{ref|TWOIAF|Dorne: Queer Customs of the South}} [[Doran Martell]], [[Prince of Dorne]], believes the orphans to be gossips.{{ref|AFFC|40}}

The [[Red Princes]] established the [[Planky Town]] as a gathering place, lashing together the orphans' poleboats and ferries.{{ref|TWOIAF|Dorne: Queer Customs of the South}} The orphans go there to trade with the carracks, cogs, and galleys from across the [[narrow sea]].{{Ref|AFFC|21}}

Some Greenblood-born orphans have returned home to the Rhoyne in Essos, such as [[Yandry]] and [[Ysilla]], who ply the river on the ''[[Shy Maid]]''.{{Ref|ADWD|8}}{{Ref|ADWD|14}}

==History==
Circa {{date|209|210}}, Ser [[Duncan the Tall]] and his [[squire]] [[Egg]] traveled down the Greenblood from [[Vaith]] to Planky Town on an orphans' poleboat. The orphan girls would often rub Egg's shaved head for luck, embarrassing the boy.{{Ref|TSS}}

However, when they reach the pole boat, they are ambushed by [[Areo Hotah]] and [[House Martell guards|his men]].{{Ref|aFfC|21}}

{{Quote|'''Arianne''': They live on boats, and pole them up and down the [[Greenblood]] and its vassals, fishing and picking fruit and doing whatever work needs doing.

'''Myrcella''': How can you be orphans if you have mothers and fathers? '''Arianne''': They are the [[Rhoynar]], and their Mother was the river [[Rhoyne]]. '''Myrcella''': I thought you were the Rhoynar. You [[Dornishmen]], I mean. '''Arianne''': We are in part, Your Grace. [[Nymeria]]’s blood is in me, along with that of [[Mors Martell]], the Dornish lord she married. On the day they wed, Nymeria fired [[ten thousand ships|her ships]], so her people would understand that there could be no going back. Most were glad to see those flames, for their voyagings had been long and terrible before they came to [[Dorne]], and many and more had been lost to storm, disease, and [[slavery]]. There were a few who mourned, however. They did not love this dry red land or its [[Faith of the Seven|seven-faced god]], so they clung to their old ways, hammered boats together from the hulks of the burned ships, and became the orphans of the Greenblood. The Mother in their songs is not [[Mother (the Seven)|our Mother]], but the [[Mother Rhoyne]], whose waters nourished them from the [[dawn of days]].{{Ref|AFFC|21}}|[[Arianne Martell]], [[Garin (orphan)|Garin]], and [[Myrcella Baratheon]]}}

{{Quote|Low of roof and wide abeam, the poleboats had hardly any draft to speak of; the [[Daeron I Targaryen|Young Dragon]] had disparaged them as "hovels built on rafts," but that was hardly fair.

Planky Town

The '''Planky Town''' is a trading town that lies at the mouth of the [[Greenblood]] in [[Dorne]], near [[Lemonwood]]. The largest and most populous settlement in Dorne,{{Ref|TWOIAF|Dorne}} the Planky Town has a harbor that sees trading vessels.{{ref|TSS}}

==Layout==
The Planky Town is larger and more populated than the [[shadow city]] by [[Sunspear]].{{ref|TWOIAF|Dorne}}. Some consider the Planky Town, the chief harbor of [[Dorne]], to be the closest the [[Dornishmen|Dornish]] have to a true city.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Dorne}}

The town sits at the mouth of the [[Greenblood]], with planks instead of streets lending to its name.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Dorne}} The Planky Town is a settlement that floats upon the river. The houses, halls, and shops are made of poleboats, barges, and merchant ships, lashed together with hempen rope and floating on the tide.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Dorne}}{{Ref|FAB|Reign of the Dragon - The Wars of King Aegon I}} A nearby citadel built by [[House Martell]] helps protect the Planky Town.{{ref|TWOIAF|Dorne: Queer Customs of the South}}

The trading galleys of the [[Free Cities]] are known to call upon the Planky Town.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Dorne: Queer Customs of the South}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Free Cities}} The [[orphans of the Greenblood]] trade with merchants from across the [[narrow sea]] at the Planky Town.{{Ref|AFFC|21}}

==History==
The [[Red Princes]] lashed together poleboats and ferries built by the [[Orphans of the Greenblood|orphans]] of the [[Greenblood]], to create the Planky Town as a gathering place. As the Planky Town grew popular with traders from the [[Free Cities]], the subsequent [[Princes of Dorne]] built a citadel nearby to guard it.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Dorne: Queer Customs of the South}} The Planky Town flourished under the rule of [[House Martell]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|Dorne: The Coming of the Rhoynar}}

Towards the end of [[Aegon's Conquest]], Queen [[Rhaenys Targaryen]] came upon the Planky Town from her [[dragon]], [[Meraxes]]. However, she found the town inhabited only by a handful of old women and small children.{{Ref|FAB|Reign of the Dragon - The Wars of King Aegon I}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Reign of the Dragons: The Conquest}} Rhaenys later initiated the [[First Dornish War]] in {{Date|4}} when she burned the town from Meraxes until the whole mouth of the Greenblood was choked with burning ships. The smoke of the Planky Town was said to be visible from [[Sunspear]]. The town's residents took to the river for refuge from the flames, so fewer than a hundred died in the attack, and most of those from drowning.{{Ref|FAB|Reign of the Dragon - The Wars of King Aegon I}}

During the [[conquest of Dorne]], Lord [[Alyn Velaryon]] broke the Planky Town and sailed up the [[Greenblood]] while most of the [[Dornishmen|Dornish]] strength was in the [[Prince's Pass]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron I}}{{Ref|ADWD|17}} When the Dornishmen rebelled against the [[Iron Throne]], Lord Velaryon later returned and descended upon the Planky Town once again.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron I}}

A poleboat took Ser [[Duncan the Tall]] and Prince [[Aegon V Targaryen|Aegon Targaryen]] down the Greenblood to the Planky Town, from where they sailed on ''[[White Lady]]'' to [[Oldtown]].{{ref|TSS}}

The game ''[[cyvasse]]'' was introduced to [[Westeros]] by a [[Volantis|Volantene]] trading ship at the Planky Town. It was spread by the [[orphans of the Greenblood]], and soon became popular among the Dornish court.{{Ref|AFFC|13}}

Red Princes

2026-09-04T18:21:49Z

Somnium Draconis:

The '''Red Princes''' were the three successors of [[Mors II Martell]], [[Prince of Dorne]]. Despite the name, two of them were actually princesses.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Dorne: Queer Customs of the South}}

==History==
The Red Princes were the successors of Prince [[Mors II Martell]], the grandson of Princess [[Nymeria]] and Prince [[Mors Martell]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|Dorne: Queer Customs of the South}}

Their reigns were marked by wars within and around [[Dorne]]. The Red Princes attempted to outlaw the use of the [[Rhoynish language|Rhoynar language]] among the [[orphans of the Greenblood|orphans]] of the [[Greenblood]]. The Red Princes established the [[Planky Town]] as a place of gathering, lashing together poleboats and ferries built by the orphans. The town grew under their successors, who established a citadel to guard it.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Dorne: Queer Customs of the South}}

'''Orphans of the Greenblood''' are the descendants of the [[Rhoynar]] who fled in [[Nymeria]]'s [[ten thousand ships]] to [[Dorne]] but refused to assimilate into Dornish culture.

==Culture==
The orphans still mourn the loss of their distant homeland in [[Essos]], and so continue to practice the traditions of their river-faring ancestors. They consider themselves to be "orphans" as they are of the [[Rhoynar]] and have been orphaned from their "Mother", the river [[Rhoyne]], which in their faith also holds a divine status. Therefore, they also identify the river as "[[Mother Rhoyne]]."{{Ref|AFFC|21}}

The orphans live on [[Ships|boats]] along the river [[Greenblood]]. It is said that when they first came to [[Dorne]], they built their smaller boats from the burned carcasses of the ships they used to cross the [[narrow sea]].{{Ref|AFFC|21}} The pole boats have hardly any draft to speak of. Painted and carved, they have low roofs and wide beams. The orphans' boats are wonderfully carved and painted. For example, one boat is painted in shades of green, with a curved wooden tiller shaped like a [[mermaid]], and fish faces peering through her rails.

'''Daemon I Blackfyre''', born '''Daemon Waters''', was the [[bastardy|bastard]] son of Princess [[Daena Targaryen]] and King [[Aegon IV Targaryen]].{{Ref|SSM|1467}} Daemon founded [[House Blackfyre]], named after the [[House Targaryen|Targaryen]] [[Valyrian steel]] [[Blackfyre|sword]]. He fought against his trueborn half-brother, King [[Daeron II Targaryen]], for the [[Iron Throne]] in the [[First Blackfyre Rebellion]].

Daemon was the first and greatest of the five [[Blackfyre Pretenders]]. As a bastard of [[House Targaryen]] Daemon bore the arms of House Targaryen with the colors reversed: a black three-headed [[dragon]] on a red field. Thus he became known as '''the Black Dragon'''. Supporters to his claim to the Iron Throne dubbed him '''the King Who Bore the Sword''' while those that supported his half-brother Daeron referred to him as '''Daemon the Pretender'''.

==Appearance and Character==
{{See also|:Category:Images of Daemon I Blackfyre|l1=Images of Daemon Blackfyre}}

Daemon was tall and powerful, with broad shoulders, muscular arms, and a flat stomach. Targaryen on both sides, Daemon had all the hallmarks of his house. He had strong Targaryen features, with deep [[purple eyes]] and silver-gold hair which he wore long, flowing down to his shoulders in a silvery-gold mane. He always went clean-shaven, with neither beard nor mustache. Almost inhumanly beautiful, Daemon looked every inch the warrior, and many thought that he strongly resembled portraits of [[Aegon I Targaryen|Aegon the Conqueror]]. There was indeed a certain similarity between the two,{{Ref|SSM|1467}} although, unlike the Conqueror who wore his hair short,{{Ref|SSM|1253}} Daemon wore his hair long.{{Ref|SSM|1467}} He had a warm{{Ref|SSM|1468}} and winning smile.{{Ref|SSM|1467}}

His armor was ornate and costly, all black and red plate, and his warhelm was distinctive, with batlike steel "dragon wings" on the sides.{{Ref|SSM|1467}}

Daemon matured into a man of considerable charisma,{{Ref|SSM|1468}} charm, and strength. He was considered the greatest [[knight]] of his day{{Ref|AWOIAF|Daemon Blackfyre}} and mastered all weapons of the battlefield, but with the sword [[Blackfyre]] in hand he was said to fight like [[Warrior (the Seven)|the Warrior]] himself. He won friends easily and women were drawn to him.{{Ref|SSM|1467}} According to [[Eustace Osgrey]], he was no more pious than a king need be.{{Ref|TSS}}

==History==
===Early life===
In late {{Date|170}}{{Refn|group="N"|After Daemon's birth, King [[Baelor I Targaryen]] began a forty-day fast. At the forty-first day he collapsed. As Daemon's year of birth is {{Date|170}} and the year of Baelor's death is {{Date|171}}, Daemon's birth took place late in the year 170 AC, while Baelor died early the following year.}} Princess [[Daena Targaryen]] gave birth to a strong and healthy son{{Ref|SSM|1467}} who she named Daemon{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}} in [[King's Landing]].{{Ref|AWOIAF|Daemon Blackfyre}} His mother [[named after|named him for]] her grandfather, Prince [[Daemon Targaryen]], "the Prince Daemon who had been the wonder and the terror of his age". In later years, some considered this name a warning of what he became. Although Daena refused to name her son's father{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}} for many years,{{Ref|AWOIAF|Daena Targaryen}} some people suspected the involvement of her cousin, Prince [[Aegon IV Targaryen|Aegon Targaryen]], even at the time of Daemon's birth.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Baelor I}}

Daemon was raised in the [[Red Keep]], where he was given the instruction of the wisest [[maesters]] and best [[Master-at-arms|masters-at-arms]] at court. Among his instructors was Ser [[Quentyn Ball]], the master-at-arms at the Red Keep,{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}} who taught Daemon alongside the other [[Great Bastard]]s and the sons of their trueborn half-brother, [[Daeron II Targaryen|Daeron]].{{Ref|TMK}} Daemon loved and excelled at deeds of arms and many believed he had the potential as a warrior to be another [[Aemon Targaryen (son of Viserys II)|Aemon the Dragonknight]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}}

In {{Date|182}} or {{Date|183}}, when he was twelve years old, Daemon participated in a squire's tourney, which he won{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}} by besting a score of other squires in a melee.{{Ref|SSM|1467}} In an action that shocked his court, kin, and [[Small council|council]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}} King [[Aegon IV Targaryen]] personally [[knight]]ed Daemon and publicly bestowed the [[House Targaryen|Targaryen]] [[Valyrian steel]] sword [[Blackfyre]] on him,{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}} finally acknowledging him as his son.{{Ref|SSM|1467}} This made Daemon the youngest knight ever made in the era of the Targaryens, surpassing [[Maegor I Targaryen]]. Along with the sword, Aegon also granted the young Daemon lands and other honors.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}} There were some who felt that the sword symbolized the monarchy{{Ref|SSM|2999}} as it had been the sword of King [[Aegon I Targaryen]], the Conqueror, and had been passed on from king to king ever since. Aegon's public gift of the sword would eventually start the first talk that Daemon should be king.{{Ref|SSM|2810}} Following the acquisition of the sword, Daemon took the name "Blackfyre" for himself.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}}

In his youth, Daemon was said to love his trueborn half-sister, Princess [[Daenerys Targaryen (daughter of Aegon IV)|Daenerys]], and was loved by her in return. This passion was known by the whole realm.{{Ref|ADWD|38}} He had at least a few clashes with his elder half-brother Daeron,{{Ref|SSM|6539}} and some said in later years that his hatred of Daeron began to grow early,{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}} although others report that Daemon was dear to Daeron.{{Ref|ADWD|38}} Despite the fabled love between Daemon and Daenerys, their father negotiated a betrothal for Daemon to [[Rohanne of Tyrosh]], with the aim of forging a tie to [[Tyrosh]] and possibly gaining the strength of its [[fleet]] for any future attempt to conquer Dorne. According to one account, Daemon was not in favor of this match, but his father was not willing to allow the love between him and Daenerys to dictate matters of state. However, a different tale alleges that Daemon was not necessarily opposed to wedding Rohanne of Tyrosh. Instead, he was convinced that he could have [[polygamy|more than one bride]], like Aegon the Conqueror and Maegor the Cruel before him. Aegon himself may have promised to indulge Daemon in this, as some Blackfyre partisans would claim in later years.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}}

[[File:Daemon Blackfyre by Jota Saraiva.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Daemon I Blackfyre, by Jota Saraiva ©]]
In {{Date|184}}, while Aegon IV was on his deathbed, he legitimized all of his bastards; those born to noblewomen, including Daemon, became known as the [[Great Bastards]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}} At some point, Daemon may have received the title of [[Prince]].{{Ref|TSS}}{{Refn|group="N"|The only time Daemon is referred to as "Prince" is by [[Eustace Osgrey]]. It may be a sign of Eustace's reverence and belief in Daemon as the true king rather than a title he was formally granted. Notably, none of the other [[Great Bastard]]s have ever been referred to as prince or princess, though this could be attributed to Daemon's unique status as the eldest and the only one who was royal on both sides.}} In the wake of their father's death, Daeron took measures to keep the Great Bastards close, treating them honorably and continuing the incomes bestowed on them by the late king.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}} Daeron paid the [[dowry]] Aegon promised to the [[Archon of Tyrosh]], and saw Daemon wed to Rohanne in early {{Date|184}},{{Refn|group="N"|''The World of Ice & Fire'' states that Daemon was fourteen when he married [[Rohanne of Tyrosh]]. However, given that Daemon was born in {{Date|170}}, shortly before the {{Date|171}} death of [[Baelor I Targaryen]], and his and Rohanne's two eldest sons were twelve in {{Date|196}}, it would not be possible for him to also be fourteen at the time of his wedding. He was more likely thirteen.}} granting him a tract of land near the [[Blackwater Rush|Blackwater]] on his wedding day, with the right to raise a castle.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}} Daemon and Rohanne had a fertile marriage. Their twin sons, [[Aegon Blackfyre|Aegon]] and [[Aemon Blackfyre|Aemon]], were born later that same year.<ref>''See the calculations for [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Aegon Blackfyre|Aegon]] and [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages#Aemon Blackfyre|Aemon Blackfyre]]''</ref> They were followed by five more sons,{{Ref|TSS}} and at least two daughters.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}}

Whatever promises to allow him two wives Aegon supposedly made to Daemon, Daeron was unwilling to allow matters of love to dictate matters of state.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}} He also did not wish to give his sister to the bastard brother whom too many were already eying as a legitimate claimant to the [[Iron Throne]].{{Ref|SSM|6539}} Instead, Daenerys was betrothed to Daeron's good brother, [[Prince of Dorne|Prince]] [[Maron Martell]] of [[Dorne]] to bring Dorne into the realm.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}} This would eventually help lead Daemon to becoming the first of the [[Blackfyre Pretenders]],{{Ref|SSM|6539}} and was one of several reasons for his rebellion.{{Ref|SSM|2910}} In {{Date|187}}, Daemon participated in Princess Daenerys's [[Wedding of Maron Martell and Daenerys Targaryen|wedding]] tourney. He was defeated in the final tilt by Prince [[Baelor Targaryen (son of Daeron II)|Baelor Targaryen]], Daeron II's eldest son.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}}

Meanwhile, the growing influence of the [[Dorne|Dornish]] at court, the Dornish appearance of Daeron II's heir, the sudden change of Dornish enemies to Dornish allies, Daeron's rumored illegitimacy (started by King Aegon IV during his reign), and Aegon IV's previous public gift of [[Blackfyre]], the "sword of kings",{{ref|FAB|A Time of Testing - The Realm Remade}} to Daemon caused several nobles and knights to start mistrusting Daeron II and Baelor, while seeing promise in Daemon. Men began to approach Daemon, but it took them many years to convince Daemon to declare his claim. [[Maester]] [[Yandel]] considers it likely that it had been [[Aegor Rivers]], Daemon's younger half-brother, who had managed to convince Daemon in the end.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}} According to King [[Maekar I Targaryen]], it had been both Aegor Rivers and Ser [[Quentyn Ball]], the master-at-arms at the [[Red Keep]], who had played the largest role in convincing Daemon.{{Ref|TMK}} Aegor pressed him to proclaim his claim for the [[Iron Throne]], and after Daemon agreed to a betrothal between his eldest daughter, [[Calla Blackfyre|Calla]], and Aegor, his efforts increased. Many lords and knights joined in.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}} Besides the influences of his councillors, Daemon had come to resent having the status of [[bastardy|bastard]] and what it represented.{{Ref|SSM|1298}}

Following the Blackfyre defeat in the first rebellion (which included the death of Daemon himself and his eldest two children, [[Aegon Blackfyre|Aegon]] and [[Aemon Blackfyre|Aemon]]), Daemon's bastard half-brother, Ser [[Aegor Rivers]], fled to [[Tyrosh]] with Daemon's remaining children and widow. From there, Daemon's descendants continued to plot. Four more rebellions would follow, until {{Date|260}}, when [[Maelys I Blackfyre]], the last male of [[House Blackfyre]], was slain on the [[Stepstones]] during the [[War of the Ninepenny Kings]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}}{{Ref|TSS}}{{Ref|TMK}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys I}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon V}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Jaehaerys II}}

There was no final insult that resulted in the declaration of Daemon's claim.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}} There are some who say that it was the wedding of Princess [[Daenerys Targaryen (daughter of Aegon IV)|Daenerys]] to the [[Dornish]] [[Prince of Dorne|Prince]] [[Maron Martell]] that led to the [[First Blackfyre Rebellion]]. It was said that Daemon rebelled because she had been denied to him by Daeron.{{Ref|aDwD|67}}{{Ref|TSS}} However, while Daenerys' wedding took place in {{Date|187}}, Daemon did not rebel until eight years later.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}} In {{Date|196}}, Daemon began his rebellion, which would last nigh on a year. For his sigil, Daemon took the Targaryen sigil with the colors reversed, a black dragon on red, giving him the nickname "the Black Dragon" (with Daeron being referred as the Red Dragon).{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}}{{Ref|TSS}}{{Ref|TMK}}

Daemon's decision to claim the throne had been made rashly, and word soon reached Daeron's court that Daemon meant to declare within a month. It has been suggested by [[Archmaester]] [[Merion]] that [[Brynden Rivers]], another one of Aegon IV's bastard sons, was involved in the news reaching Daeron.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}} The [[Kingsguard]] was sent to arrest Daemon, but, with the aid of the master-at-arms of the [[Red Keep]], Daemon managed to escape imprisonment.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}}{{Ref|TMK}} Daemon's allies used this attempted arrest as a cause for war, claiming that Daeron had acted without reason.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}}

Besides Aegor Rivers and Quentyn Ball, Daemon's supporters, according to Ser [[Eustace Osgrey]] of [[Standfast]], included [[Robb Reyne]], [[Gareth the Grey]], Ser [[Aubrey Ambrose]], Lord [[Gormon Peake]], Black [[Byren Flowers]], and [[Redtusk]]. Daemon's rebellion divided the [[Seven Kingdoms]]. Half the realm declared for him, though some pledged their support to both sides. Notably, Houses [[House Hightower|Hightower]], [[House Butterwell|Butterwell]], [[House Oakheart|Oakheart]] and [[House Tarbeck|Tarbeck]] gave support to both Daemon and Daeron, while [[Manfred Lothston]] betrayed Daemon for Daeron. The thief [[Quickfinger]] attempted to steal [[dragon eggs]] for Daemon, but was caught.{{Ref|TSS}}

Daemon's rebellion ended [[Battle of the Redgrass Field|on the Redgrass Field]] in late {{Date|196}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}} According to Ser Eustace Osgrey, who fought on Daemon's side, Daemon fought "like the [[Warrior (the Seven)|Warrior]] himself".{{Ref|TSS}} Daemon shattered the lines of Lord [[Donnel Arryn]]'s vanguard, leaving the loyalists in peril until Ser [[Gwayne Corbray]] of the [[Kingsguard]] arrived with reinforcements.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Vale: House Arryn}} Daemon and Ser Gwayne duelled, with both men using their Valyrian steel swords. The duel is said to have lasted nearly an hour before Daemon gained the upper hand. Corbray was wounded and Daemon dismounted to prevent Corbray from being trampled. He commanded that Corbray was to be taken off the field.{{Ref|TSS}}

In the meantime, [[Brynden Rivers]] with his archers, the [[Raven's Teeth]], had captured and assumed a position atop the [[Weeping Ridge]], which overlooked the battlefield and allowed them to rain arrows down among Daemon and his commanders. Daemon's heir [[Aegon Blackfyre|Aegon]] died first, followed by Daemon himself. When Daemon’s second son, Aegon's twin brother [[Aemon Blackfyre|Aemon]] took up Blackfyre, he was slain as well.{{Ref|TSS}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}}

===Legacy===
[[File:Daemon_Blackfyre_by_j.haerys_.jpg|thumb|Daemon I Blackfyre, by j.haerys_ ©]]
With Daemon dead, the rebels began to rout. [[Aegor Rivers]] claimed Blackfyre and rallied the rebels by leading a charge against the Raven's Teeth, but was eventually forced to flee.{{Ref|TSS}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}} He took Daemon's widow and remaining children with him to the [[Free Cities]], eventually ending up in [[Tyrosh]].{{Ref|TMK}}{{Ref|TSS}} In exile, Daemon's descendants continued their struggle for the [[Iron Throne]], resulting in four more rebellions ([[Second Blackfyre Rebellion|Second]], [[Third Blackfyre Rebellion|Third]] and [[Fourth Blackfyre Rebellion]], and the [[War of the Ninepenny Kings]]), as well as one peacefull attempt during the [[Great Council of 233 AC]]. These attempts led to the arrest of Daemon's third son ([[Daemon II Blackfyre|Daemon]]), and the deaths of his fourth and fifth sons ([[Haegon I Blackfyre|Haegon]] and [[Aenys Blackfyre|Aenys]]), as well as the death of a grandson, also named [[Daemon III Blackfyre|Daemon]]. Daemon's last male descendant, [[Maelys I Blackfyre|Maelys]], was slain during the War of the Ninepenny Kings by Ser [[Barristan Selmy]], ending the Blackfyre threat{{Ref|TMK}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys I}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon V}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Jaehaerys II}}{{Ref|ADWD|5}} after sixty-four years.

Sixteen years after Daemon's death, some still made pilgrimages to the Redgrass Field to plant flowers on the spot where he died.{{Ref|TMK}}

==Behind the Scenes==
According to Elio García, back when [[George R. R. Martin]] wrote ''[[A Game of Thrones]]'', Daemon Blackfyre did not exist at all. The character came into existence approximately in the spring of 1999, when Martin fleshed out the mistresses of King [[Aegon IV Targaryen|Aegon IV]] and created a new genealogy of [[House Targaryen]].<ref>asoiaf.westeros.org: The ASOIAF wiki thread [https://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?/topic/34958-the-asoiaf-wiki-thread/page/194/#comment-9234550 Comment by Ran (August 31, 2026)]</ref>

'''Brynden Rivers''', called '''Lord Bloodraven''', was the [[bastard]] son of King [[Aegon IV Targaryen]] by his sixth mistress, Lady [[Melissa Blackwood]]. He had two older sisters, [[Mya Rivers|Mya]] and [[Gwenys Rivers|Gwenys]], and numerous half-siblings.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}} As his mother was [[highborn]], Brynden was counted among the [[Great Bastards]]. Like his bastard siblings, Brynden was legitimized by King Aegon IV in {{Date|184}}. Brynden's personal arms were a white [[dragon]] with red eyes breathing red flame on a black field.

Brynden was a [[House Targaryen|Targaryen]] loyalist during the [[Blackfyre Pretenders|Blackfyre Rebellions]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}} He served as the [[Hand of the King]] to King [[Aerys I Targaryen]]{{Ref|TSS}} and King [[Maekar I Targaryen]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Maekar I}} He was eventually sent to the [[Night's Watch]] by King [[Aegon V Targaryen]], where he rose to the position of [[Lord Commander of the Night's Watch|Lord Commander]].{{Ref|AFFC|15}}

In the television adaptation ''[[Game of Thrones]]'', Brynden is portrayed by [[w:Struan Rodger|Struan Rodger]] (Season 4) and [[w:Max von Sydow|Max von Sydow]] (Season 6). In ''[[House of the Dragon]]'', he is portrayed by [[Joshua Ben-Tovim]].{{refn|group="N"|In ''[[Game of Thrones]]'' the character is called the Three Eyed Raven and is just loosely based on by his book counterpart (it is said he is over a thousand years old),<ref>{{WoW|Three-Eyed Raven}}</ref> whereas in ''[[House of the Dragon]]'' he is officially presented as Brynden "Bloodraven" Rivers.<ref>Variety: [https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/house-of-the-dragon-ryan-condal-daemons-vision-daenerys-season-2-finale-1236096366/ "' ‘House of the Dragon’ Boss Breaks Down Daemon’s Vision in Season 2 Finale: We’re ‘Not Trying to Make Any Kind of Specific Interpretation of a Prophecy’ "] (August 6, 2024)</ref>}}

==Appearance and Character==
{{See also|:Category:Images of Brynden Rivers|l1=Images of Brynden Rivers}}
Brynden was an albino, and thus had milk-white skin, long white hair, and red eyes.{{Ref|SSM|1467}} On the right side of his face he had a red [[w:Port-wine stain|winestain birthmark]], that extended from his throat up to his right cheek. The birthmark was the reason why he was called ''"Bloodraven"'', as it was said to look somewhat like a [[raven]] drawn in blood. However, Ser [[Duncan the Tall]] thought the birthmark just a blotch.{{Ref|TSS}} According to [[George R. R. Martin]], it is more a suggestion of a raven shape, like an [[w:Rorschach test|ink blot]].{{Ref|SSM|1254}}

[[File:Bloodraven by Rae Lavergne.jpg|thumb|350px|right|Bloodraven, by Rae Lavergne ©]]
Brynden was not as tall or muscular as his half brothers, [[Daemon I Blackfyre|Daemon]] and [[Aegor Rivers|Aegor]],{{Ref|SSM|1467}} but he was considered more cunning.{{Ref|TSS}} A shade under six feet tall, Brynden was thin and gaunt. He had a grim forbidding aspect, and sharp, vaguely sinister features.{{Ref|SSM|1467}}{{Ref|SSM|1468}} He typically wore the colors of scarlet and smoke, a dark grey mottled and streaked with black.{{Ref|SSM|1467}} For instance, one of his outfits included a scarlet tunic with black boots and a smoke-colored cloak.{{Ref|TMK}} Because his skin was sensitive to light, Bloodraven usually went about cloaked and hooded.{{Ref|TSS}}{{Ref|SSM|1467}}

Brynden lost an eye during the [[First Blackfyre Rebellion]], and rarely covered the empty socket with a patch, preferring to display his scar and empty socket to the world.{{Ref|SSM|1254}} He wore his white hair straight and to his shoulders, with the front brushed forward to cover his missing eye.{{Ref|TMK}}{{Ref|SSM|1467}} Although Brynden carried the [[Valyrian steel]] [[longsword]] [[Dark Sister]] and was a good swordsman, he was also an expert bowman who preferred to use his tall [[weirwood]] longbow.{{Ref|SSM|1468}}

Brynden was rumored to be a sinister [[sorcerer]] and [[Espionage|spymaster]],{{Ref|SSM|1467}}{{Ref|tmk}} who effectively ruled the kingdom "with spies and spells" and as "Lord Bloodraven".{{Ref|TSS}} A popular riddle asked was, "''How many eyes does Lord Bloodraven have? A thousand eyes, and one''".{{Ref|TMK}} The song "[[A Thousand Eyes, and One]]" was written about Brynden.{{Ref|AFFC|15}}

==History==
===Youth===
[[File: Melissa Blackwood and Brynden Rivers by Chillyravenart.png|thumb|right|350px|Young Brynden with his mother, [[Melissa Blackwood]], by chillyravenart©]]
In {{date|175}}, Brynden was born in [[King's Landing]]{{Ref|AWOIAF|Brynden Rivers}} as the [[bastard]] son of King [[Aegon IV Targaryen]] and his sixth mistress, Lady [[Melissa Blackwood]], who had replaced the king's fifth mistress, Lady [[Barba Bracken]].{{Ref|ADWD|48}} He was named Brynden as an infant by his mother.{{ref|ADWD|34}} Brynden's older sisters were [[Mya Rivers|Mya]] and [[Gwenys Rivers]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}} Although Melissa was eventually dismissed by Aegon IV in favor of his seventh mistress, Lady [[Bethany Bracken]], Brynden was able to maintain close relations at court because of Melissa's popularity.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}} He learned how the fight under the tutelage of Ser [[Quentyn Ball]], who also taught the other Great Bastards and the sons of their half-brother Daeron.{{Ref|TMK}}

Brynden was resented by Barba's bastard son, [[Aegor Rivers]], nicknamed "Bittersteel". At some point, Brynden became a lover to his half-sister, [[Shiera Seastar]]. As Aegor desired her as well, Shiera became another point of rivalry between the two half-siblings.{{Ref|ADWD|67}} Brynden would become Shiera's most ardent admirer.{{Ref|SSM|1459}}

Like his other bastard siblings, Brynden was legitimized by his father Aegon IV in {{Date|184}}, when the king was on his deathbed.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}} After succeeding as king, Brynden's half-brother King Daeron II maintained all the incomes that King Aegon had bestowed upon the Great Bastards.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}}

===Reign of King Daeron II Targaryen===
====First Blackfyre Rebellion====
Ahead of their half-brother [[Daemon I Blackfyre|Daemon Blackfyre]] declaring himself king, King [[Daeron II Targaryen]] sent the [[Kingsguard]] to arrest him. Though it was unclear how word reached King Daeron that Daemon intended to make a bid for the throne within the turn of the moon, [[Grand Maester]] [[Merion]] would later suggest in his unfinished '''[[The Red Dragon and the Black]]'' that Brynden was involved. During the [[First Blackfyre Rebellion]] that followed, Brynden remained loyal to his trueborn half-brother King Daeron II against Daemon I Blackfyre.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}} Brynden commanded his private guards, a group of longbowmen called the [[Raven's Teeth]].{{Ref|TSS}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon V}}

At the [[Battle of the Redgrass Field]] in {{Date|196}}, the Raven's Teeth gained the [[Weeping Ridge]] and rained arrows down onto the [[House Blackfyre|Blackfyres]] from three hundred yards away, killing first Daemon's eldest son [[Aegon Blackfyre|Aegon]], then Daemon himself, and finally Aegon's twin, [[Aemon Blackfyre|Aemon]].{{Ref|TSS}} The arrows are said to have been driven by Brynden's sorcery,{{Ref|TSS}} and people later named Brynden a [[Kinslaying|kinslayer]].{{Ref|TSS}}{{Ref|TMK}} Daemon's death led the rebels to rout, but some were rallied by [[Aegor Rivers]] in a mad charge.{{Ref|TSS}} The resulting duel between the rival half brothers left Brynden blinded in one eye and Aegor retreating. With Daemon and his eldest sons dead, Aegor fled into exile in the [[Free Cities]] with Daemon's wife, daughters, and remaining sons.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}}

====Later Reign of Daeron II====
After the war, Brynden would continue to serve the victorious King Daeron{{Ref|TSS}} and rose to prominence at court.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys I}} By {{Date|205}}, Brynden was known to the commons as "the king's sorceror."{{Ref|TSS}} In the years preceding {{Date|209}}, Brynden served on Daeron's [[small council]], although it's unknown if he held an official position.{{refn|group="N"|Brynden was [[master of whisperers]] for Daeron II's successor, Aerys I,{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys I}} but it's unclear if he held that office in Daeron II's reign or if he held an advisory role without official title.}} During small council meetings, Brynden would debate matters including how best to deal with defeated rebels. While the [[Hand of the King]] and heir, Prince [[Baelor Targaryen (son of Daeron II)|Baelor Targaryen]], advocated for clemency, Brynden argued against pardons out of concern they would only help to stoke the next rebellion.{{Ref|TSS}}

===Reign of King Aerys I Targaryen===
[[File:Bloodraven by BellaBergolts.jpg|thumb|right|350px|Bloodraven, by Bella Bergolts ©]]
Although Brynden had risen to a place of prominence at court by the end of King Daeron II's reign, few anticipated that his nephew, King [[Aerys I Targaryen]], would name him his [[Hand of the King]] upon taking the throne in {{Date|209}}. At the time of his appointment, Brynden's studies of the higher mysteries were an open secret and suggested by some as the reason Aerys chose him, for he shared that interest. He would also serve as Aerys's [[master of whisperers]] for the duration of his reign.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys I}} His first major trial was the [[Great Spring Sickness]], an epidemic that had killed King [[Daeron II Targaryen]], Princes [[Valarr Targaryen|Valarr]] and [[Matarys Targaryen]], and tens of thousands more. Seeing the corpses pile up in the streets of [[King's Landing]], Brynden ordered the pyromancers of the [[Alchemists' Guild]] to burn them in the [[Dragonpit]]. At night, the green glow of the [[wildfire]] pyres could be seen throughout the whole city.{{Ref|TSS}}

Around the same time, a drought began that lasted a little more than a year,{{refn|group="N"|At the time of ''[[The Sworn Sword]]'', the drought enters its second year. By the end of ''The Sworn Sword'', it begins to rain, ending the drought.}} causing many [[smallfolk]] to leave their lands in search of somewhere the rain still fell. Brynden ordered them to return to their own lands but few obeyed. Indeed they blamed Brynden, cursing him as a kinslayer. Many of them became robbers. Prices increased as trade dwindled, and it was widely held that travel was less safe under Aerys's reign than it had been under that of his father.{{Ref|TSS}} Some people alleged that Brynden and his paramour, his half-sister [[Shiera Seastar]], used sorcery to uncover secrets.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys I}} Brynden proposed to Shiera numerous times, but she always refused his offers of marriage.{{Ref|SSM|1459}}

In {{Date|211}}, Ser [[Otho Bracken]], known as the Brute of [[House Bracken|Bracken]], was expected to succeed to the [[lord]]ship of [[Stone Hedge]]. Not wanting to see such a man in power, the traditional Bracken rivals of [[House Blackwood]] were expected to start a war to root him out. It was suggested that Brynden, being half-Blackwood himself, would not be inclined to hear any complaints of a member of House Bracken. Septon [[Sefton Staunton|Sefton]] believed that Brynden would most likely do nothing, and that ''if'' he did decide to act, it would only be to help his Blackwood cousins to bring Otho to bay.{{Ref|TSS}}

In {{Date|211}} Lord [[Dagon Greyjoy]] raided the western coast, including [[Fair Isle]], the shipping of the [[Arbor]], and the village of [[Little Dosk]] in the [[Reach]].{{Ref|TSS}} By {{Date|212}}, Lord [[Beron Stark]] had called his banners to repulse the [[ironmen]] from the [[Stony Shore]], while [[House Lannister]] was building [[ships]] to strike at the [[Iron Islands]].{{Ref|TMK}} During all of this Brynden kept his eye on [[Tyrosh]], where his half-brother [[Aegor Rivers]] remained with the surviving sons of Daemon Blackfyre in exile.{{Ref|TMK}} However, [[Victarion Greyjoy]] recalls that, "...even Dagon could not defeat the dragons",{{Ref|ADWD|63}} suggesting that the Targaryens eventually intervened.

===Second Blackfyre Rebellion===
[[File:Bloodraven by Naomimakesart.png|right|thumb|350px|Bloodraven at the [[Second Blackfyre Rebellion]], by Naomimakesart©]]
During the [[wedding tourney at Whitewalls]] in {{Date|212}}, Ser [[Maynard Plumm]] defended Brynden's actions as Hand to Ser [[Kyle the Cat]].{{Ref|TMK}} Through his informants,{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys I}} including a [[House Vyrwel|Vyrwel]] man-at-arms and a troupe of comic [[dwarf]]s, Brynden was aware of a plot at [[Whitewalls]] to put [[Daemon II Blackfyre]] forward as the legitimate [[Lord of the Seven Kingdoms]]. Brynden marched on the tourney with three hundred Raven's Teeth, three brothers of the [[Kingsguard]], five hundred other [[knight]]s, and five thousand infantry drawn from the [[crownlands]] and the [[riverlands]]. In the face of such a force Daemon tried to rally the tourney-goers to battle, but found little support. Daemon then challenged the Hand to single combat; Brynden refused and arrested the pretender, thus containing the [[Second Blackfyre Rebellion]].{{Ref|TMK}} Daemon was kept in captivity rather than executed with the other rebel leaders, ensuring that Aegor Rivers could not name his brother [[Haegon Blackfyre|Haegon]] as a serious pretender.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys I}}

===Third Blackfyre Rebellion===
In the aftermath of the [[Third Blackfyre Rebellion]], Brynden argued that the captive [[Aegor Rivers]] should be put to death, but King [[Aerys I Targaryen]] decided to send Aegor to the [[Night's Watch]] instead. However, Aegor Rivers escaped back to [[Essos]] when his ship was intercepted en route to [[Eastwatch]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys I}}

===Reign of King Maekar I Targaryen===
Despite their history of frequent quarrels, when [[Maekar I Targaryen]] succeeded his brother{{Ref|AWOIAF|Brynden Rivers}} in {{Date|221}},{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Maekar I}} Brynden's history of success as Aerys's Hand made him grudgingly accept him as his own.{{Ref|AWOIAF|Brynden Rivers}}

===Great Council of 233 AC===
[[File:LordCommanderRiversBeyondTheWallTake2_by_MikeHallstein.jpg|thumb|350px|Brynden Rivers as [[Lord Commander of the Night's Watch|Lord Commander]] of the [[Night's Watch]], by [http://mike-hallstein.deviantart.com/ Mike Hallstein] ©]]
After Maekar's death in {{Date|233}}, Brynden, as the [[Hand of the King]], called a [[Great Council]] in [[King's Landing]] to discuss the disputed matter of succession. [[Aenys Blackfyre]] wanted to peacefully participate in the Great Council, and Brynden offered him safe conduct to King's Landing from [[Tyrosh]]. Once Aenys arrived in the capital, however, he was arrested by the [[gold cloaks]] and then beheaded in the [[Red Keep]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Maekar I}}

The Great Council chose Maekar's youngest son to succeed as King [[Aegon V Targaryen]], whose first act was to arrest Brynden for the murder of Aenys.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon V}} It is suggested by [[Maester]] [[Aemon Targaryen (son of Maekar I)|Aemon]] that Brynden was imprisoned in the Red Keep's dungeons.{{Ref|AFFC|15}} Brynden argued that he had sacrificed his honor for the good of the realm, but Aegon refused to set Brynden free. He instead offered the option of [[Night's Watch|taking the black]] instead of death, which Brynden accepted.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon V}}

===Night's Watch===
When Maester Aemon sailed for the [[Wall]] in {{Date|233}}, he was escorted by King Aegon V's friend, Ser [[Duncan the Tall]] of the [[Kingsguard]], and accompanied by an honor guard of recruits for the Night's Watch.

'''Aegor Rivers''', frequently called '''Bittersteel''', was one of the [[Great Bastards]], a son of King [[Aegon IV Targaryen]] by his fifth [[mistress]], Lady [[Barba Bracken]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}}{{ref|SSM|1467}} The [[knight]] was a major supporter of the pretender king [[Daemon I Blackfyre]] and the later [[Blackfyre pretenders]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}} Aegor was the founder of the [[Golden Company]], a famed group of exiled [[sellsword]]s.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}} In his [[heraldry|personal arms]], he combined the red [[horse|stallion]] of [[House Bracken]] with black [[dragon]] wings from [[House Blackfyre]], on a [[gold]]en field.{{ref|SSM|1467}}

==Appearance and Character==
{{See also|:Category:Images of Aegor Rivers|l1=Images of Aegor Rivers}}
Being half-[[House Targaryen|Targaryen]], Aegor had [[purple eyes]], but black hair. As an adult, he had a close-cropped beard, little more than a shadow on his face. He looked like a warrior, tall and muscular, but was lean and lithe like a [[panther]].{{ref|SSM|1467}}

Aegor's armor was well-made but plain, grey-steel and black rings. On his helm was a [[horse]]head crest, with a horse's mane flowing behind. His shield displayed his personal sigil: a stallion with black [[dragon]] wings, on a golden field, snorting fire.{{ref|SSM|1467}}

Angry all of his life, Aegor never smiled.{{ref|SSM|1467}} Reportedly, he was a hard man who had little use for anything beyond war.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys I}} Bittersteel was easily irritated and offended, sometimes attributed to his [[House Bracken|Bracken]] blood.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}} Aegor especially loathed his younger half-brother, [[Brynden Rivers]], and Brynden's mother, [[Melissa Blackwood]], who had replaced Aegor's mother, [[Barba Bracken]], as King [[Aegon IV Targaryen]]'s mistress.{{ref|SSM|1467}}

==History==
===Early life===
In {{date|172}}, Aegor was born at [[King's Landing]] to the fifth of King [[Aegon IV Targaryen]]'s mistresses, [[Barba Bracken]]. Aegor was born only a fortnight before Aegon's wife, Queen [[Naerys Targaryen]], nearly died in childbirth. With Naerys lingering near death, [[Lord Bracken (Hand of the King)|Barba's father]], the [[Hand of the King]], began to speak openly of Barba marrying King Aegon IV. However, his words became a scandal when Queen Naerys recovered her health. Naerys's brother, Prince [[Aemon Targaryen (son of Viserys II)|Aemon the Dragonknight]], and her son, Prince [[Daeron II Targaryen|Daeron Targaryen]], forced King Aegon to send both Barba and her [[bastard]] son away from court. Aegor was raised at [[Stone Hedge]] in the [[riverlands]] by the Brackens.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}}

King Aegon IV was visiting Aegor at Stone Hedge in {{date|177}} when he met Barba's younger sister, [[Bethany Bracken]], and took her for his seventh mistress. However, Bethany's affair with Ser [[Terrence Toyne]], a [[Kingsguard]], soon resulted in the execution of Terrence, Bethany, and her father, Aegor's grandfather.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}}

The angry Aegor reserved particular loathing for his half-brother [[Brynden Rivers]], whose mother, [[Melissa Blackwood]], had replaced his own as their father's favorite mistress. Aegor loathed Brynden, who was known as Bloodraven, even further when [[Shiera Seastar]], their beautiful half-sister and a fellow [[Great Bastard]], chose Brynden over him. Their other half-brother, [[Daemon I Blackfyre|Daemon Blackfyre]], agreed to wed his daughter [[Calla Blackfyre|Calla]] to Aegor; however, it is unknown if and when the marriage took place. Aegor often urged Daemon to press his own claim to the [[Iron Throne]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}}

===First Blackfyre Rebellion===
In the [[First Blackfyre Rebellion]] in {{Date|196}}, Aegor sided with the pretender king [[Daemon I Blackfyre]] against King [[Daeron II Targaryen]]. During the [[battle of the Redgrass Field]], Aegor commanded the right of Daemon's host.{{Ref|TMK}}

To prevent a rout upon Daemon's death during the battle, Aegor picked up Daemon's [[Valyrian steel]] sword, [[Blackfyre]], rallied his troops, and madly charged into the [[Raven's Teeth]], the archers of Brynden Rivers. Bittersteel met Bloodraven in the middle of his charge, and a mighty duel followed. Though he took out Bloodraven's eye during their duel, Aegor ultimately fled the battlefield.{{Ref|TSS}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}}

Bittersteel fled Westeros with Daemon's widow, [[Rohanne of Tyrosh]], her surviving children, the blade Blackfyre, and hundreds of now-landless lords and knights, eventually settling in the [[Free Cities|Free City]] of [[Tyrosh]].{{Ref|TSS}}{{Ref|ADWD|5}}

===The Golden Company===
[[File:Marc Simonetti Bittersteel golden company.jpg|thumb|right|450px|Bittersteel leading the [[Golden Company]], as depicted by Marc Simonetti in ''[[The World of Ice & Fire]]''.]]
Aegor served a year with the [[Second Sons]] mercenary company.{{Ref|ADWD|66}} However, as other exile lords began to join other mercenary companies and the support for the [[House Blackfyre|Blackfyres]] began to scatter, Bittersteel left the Second Sons to create the [[Golden Company]], to bind the exiles together.{{Ref|ADWD|5}} Shortly after its creation, the Golden Company became one of the most famous and disciplined [[sellsword]] companies known in the [[Free Cities]]. They quickly established their reputation by sacking [[Qohor]] when the city refused to honor its contract.{{Ref|AWOIAF|Aegor Rivers}} While sellswords are notoriously unreliable, the Golden Company has a respectable reputation. They are said to have never broken a contract.{{Ref|AFFC|13}} The war cry of the Golden Company is "Beneath the [[gold]], the bitter [[steel]],"{{Ref|AFFC|21}}{{Ref|ADWD|5}} which refers to Aegor's nickname, Bittersteel.

The Golden Company was heavily involved in three of the four [[Blackfyre Pretenders|Blackfyre Rebellions]] that followed the [[First Blackfyre Rebellion|first one]]. However, Aegor refused to support the pretender king [[Daemon II Blackfyre]] during the [[Second Blackfyre Rebellion]] in {{Date|211}}, and [[maester]]s of the [[Citadel]] often debate why. Many believe that Daemon and Lord [[Gormon Peake]] could not convince Aegor that their plan was sensible and could succeed despite the odds. Some think Bittersteel was a man who had little use for anything but war and distrusted Daemon's [[dream]]s and love of fine things, and some think Daemon's homosexuality troubled Aegor enough to deny him his assistance.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys I}} Bittersteel remained in [[Essos]] with the sword [[Blackfyre]], a factor in the failure of the rebellion.{{Ref|TMK}}

[[File:Aegor_Rivers_by_Jota_Saraiva.jpg|thumb|right|450px|Aegor by Jota Saraiva]]

In {{Date|219}}, [[Haegon I Blackfyre]] and Bittersteel launched the [[Third Blackfyre Rebellion]]. During the rebellion, Bloodraven and Bittersteel dueled for the second time. At the end of the battle, Haegon was killed after surrendering, but Aegor was captured and brought to the [[Red Keep]] in chains. Though Brynden Rivers and Prince [[Aerion Targaryen]] argued that Aegor should be executed, King [[Aerys I Targaryen]] decided to send him to the [[Wall]] to join the [[Night's Watch]]. However, the ship taking Aegor north was intercepted, and he was freed and returned to the Golden Company. Before the year was over, Aegor crowned [[Daemon III Blackfyre]], Haegon I's eldest son, and resumed plotting against King Aerys in [[Tyrosh]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys I}}

During one of the Blackfyre Rebellions, Aegor swore a blood oath with [[Torwyn Greyjoy]], but this [[Lord Reaper of Pyke]] betrayed Bittersteel to his enemies.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Iron Islands: The Old Way and the New}}

In {{Date|236}}, Aegor landed on [[Massey's Hook]] at the head of the Golden Company with Daemon III, starting the [[Fourth Blackfyre Rebellion]]. The rebellion was crushed at the [[Battle of Wendwater Bridge]], though Aegor managed to escape.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon V}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Westerlands: House Lannister Under the Dragons}} A few years after that battle, Aegor reappeared in the [[Disputed Lands]], fighting with the Golden Company in a skirmish between Tyrosh and [[Myr]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon V}}

When Aegor died at the age of sixty-nine in {{Date|241}}, it is said he died as he had lived, with a sword in his hand and defiance upon his lips.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon V}} On his deathbed, he commanded the men of the Golden Company to boil the flesh from his skull, [[golden skulls|dip it in gold]], and carry it before them when they crossed the [[narrow sea]] to retake [[Westeros]]. The [[Captain-general|captains-general]] who have since led the Golden Company have followed Aegor's example.{{Ref|aDwD|24}}

===Legacy===
According to a semi-canon source, Aegor had no children.<ref>{{Cite video | url = https://youtu.be/ThdsQtp1Sxw?si=ZN3gmI9kLln3lpwV&t=6693 | title = GRRM interview with John Picacio in Redwood City at the Fox Theater | time = 1:51:33 | date = August 14, 2018}}</ref> The war cry of the [[Golden Company]], "Beneath the gold, the bitter steel", pays homage to their founder.{{Ref|AFFC|21}}

==Recent Events==
===''A Feast for Crows''===
In [[Dorne]], Princess [[Arianne Martell]] tells Ser [[Arys Oakheart]] that the [[Golden Company]] has broken their contract with [[Myr]], mentioning that the exiles are united by the dream of Bittersteel.{{Ref|AFFC|13}}

===''A Dance with Dragons''===
[[Illyrio Mopatis]] discusses the Golden Company with the exiled [[Tyrion Lannister]], who recalls the story of Aegor's founding of the [[sellsword]] company. That night, Tyrion dreams of a battle in [[Westeros]] in which he fights alongside Ser [[Barristan Selmy]] and Bittersteel with [[dragon]]s overhead. Tyrion kills his father, Lord [[Tywin Lannister|Tywin]], and brother, Ser [[Jaime Lannister|Jaime]], in the dream.{{ref|ADWD|5}} When Tyrion joins the [[Second Sons]], [[Tybero Istarion]] informs him that Bittersteel had served with that company before establishing the Golden Company.{{ref|ADWD|66}}

Aegor's [[golden skulls|skull]], along with those of successive [[Captain-general|captains-general]], is still in possession of the Golden Company. All are kept in the tent of the current captain-general, Ser [[Harry Strickland]], with Aegor's displayed in the center on a tall pike. [[Jon Connington]] sees Aegor's grinning skull when he meets with the Golden Company in [[Volon Therys]].{{Ref|ADWD|24}} During the [[landing of the Golden Company]] in the [[stormlands]], Jon realizes that Harry is a much more cautious leader than Aegor.{{ref|ADWD|61}}

Barristan recalls how bloodshed resulted from Aegor and [[Brynden Rivers]] both having loved [[Shiera Seastar]].{{ref|ADWD|67}}

===''The Winds of Winter''===
{{warning/twow}}
At the [[crofters' village]], Ser [[Justin Massey]] advises [[Stannis Baratheon]] to regroup across the [[narrow sea]] and raise a new army as Bittersteel did after the [[Battle of the Redgrass Field]]. Stannis refuses, however, as Aegor was a [[bastard]] who never succeeded in putting any of [[Daemon I Blackfyre|Daemon Blackfyre's]] sons on the [[Iron Throne]].<ref name=TheonI>''[[The Winds of Winter]]'', [[Theon I (The Winds of Winter)|Theon I]]</ref>

{{Quote|I've been too lax, I will allow, but I have never been a traitor.

'''Brynden Rivers''', called '''Lord Bloodraven''', was the [[bastard]] son of King [[Aegon IV Targaryen]] by his sixth mistress, Lady [[Melissa Blackwood]]. He had two older sisters, [[Mya Rivers|Mya]] and [[Gwenys Rivers|Gwenys]], and numerous half-siblings.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}} As his mother was [[highborn]], Brynden was counted among the [[Great Bastards]]. Like his bastard siblings, Brynden was legitimized by King Aegon IV in {{Date|184}}. Brynden's personal arms were a white [[dragon]] with red eyes breathing red flame on a black field.

Brynden was a [[House Targaryen|Targaryen]] loyalist during the [[Blackfyre Pretenders|Blackfyre Rebellions]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}} He served as the [[Hand of the King]] to King [[Aerys I Targaryen]]{{Ref|TSS}} and King [[Maekar I Targaryen]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Maekar I}} He was eventually sent to the [[Night's Watch]] by King [[Aegon V Targaryen]], where he rose to the position of [[Lord Commander of the Night's Watch|Lord Commander]].{{Ref|AFFC|15}}

In the television adaptation ''[[Game of Thrones]]'', Brynden is portrayed by [[w:Struan Rodger|Struan Rodger]] (Season 4) and [[w:Max von Sydow|Max von Sydow]] (Season 6). In ''[[House of the Dragon]]'', he is portrayed by [[Joshua Ben-Tovim]].{{refn|group="N"|In ''[[Game of Thrones]]'' the character is called the Three Eyed Raven and is just loosely based on by his book counterpart (it is said he is over a thousand years old),<ref>{{WoW|Three-Eyed Raven}}</ref> whereas in ''[[House of the Dragon]]'' he is officially presented as Brynden "Bloodraven" Rivers.<ref>Variety: [https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/house-of-the-dragon-ryan-condal-daemons-vision-daenerys-season-2-finale-1236096366/ "' ‘House of the Dragon’ Boss Breaks Down Daemon’s Vision in Season 2 Finale: We’re ‘Not Trying to Make Any Kind of Specific Interpretation of a Prophecy’ "] (August 6, 2024)</ref>}}

==Appearance and Character==
{{See also|:Category:Images of Brynden Rivers|l1=Images of Brynden Rivers}}
Brynden was an albino, and thus had milk-white skin, long white hair, and red eyes.{{Ref|SSM|1467}} On the right side of his face he had a red [[w:Port-wine stain|winestain birthmark]], that extended from his throat up to his right cheek. The birthmark was the reason why he was called ''"Bloodraven"'', as it was said to look somewhat like a [[raven]] drawn in blood. However, Ser [[Duncan the Tall]] thought the birthmark just a blotch.{{Ref|TSS}} According to [[George R. R. Martin]], it is more a suggestion of a raven shape, like an [[w:Rorschach test|ink blot]].{{Ref|SSM|1254}}

[[File:Bloodraven by Rae Lavergne.jpg|thumb|350px|right|Bloodraven, by Rae Lavergne ©]]
Brynden was not as tall or muscular as his half brothers, [[Daemon I Blackfyre|Daemon]] and [[Aegor Rivers|Aegor]],{{Ref|SSM|1467}} but he was considered more cunning.{{Ref|TSS}} A shade under six feet tall, Brynden was thin and gaunt. He had a grim forbidding aspect, and sharp, vaguely sinister features.{{Ref|SSM|1467}}{{Ref|SSM|1468}} He typically wore the colors of scarlet and smoke, a dark grey mottled and streaked with black.{{Ref|SSM|1467}} For instance, one of his outfits included a scarlet tunic with black boots and a smoke-colored cloak.{{Ref|TMK}} Because his skin was sensitive to light, Bloodraven usually went about cloaked and hooded.{{Ref|TSS}}{{Ref|SSM|1467}}

Brynden lost an eye during the [[First Blackfyre Rebellion]], and rarely covered the empty socket with a patch, preferring to display his scar and empty socket to the world.{{Ref|SSM|1254}} He wore his white hair straight and to his shoulders, with the front brushed forward to cover his missing eye.{{Ref|TMK}}{{Ref|SSM|1467}} Although Brynden carried the [[Valyrian steel]] [[longsword]] [[Dark Sister]] and was a good swordsman, he was also an expert bowman who preferred to use his tall [[weirwood]] longbow.{{Ref|SSM|1468}}

Brynden was rumored to be a sinister [[sorcerer]] and [[Espionage|spymaster]],{{Ref|SSM|1467}}{{Ref|tmk}} who effectively ruled the kingdom "with spies and spells" and as "Lord Bloodraven".{{Ref|TSS}} A popular riddle asked was, "''How many eyes does Lord Bloodraven have? A thousand eyes, and one''".{{Ref|TMK}} The song "[[A Thousand Eyes, and One]]" was written about Brynden.{{Ref|AFFC|15}}

==History==
===Youth===
[[File: Melissa Blackwood and Brynden Rivers by Chillyravenart.png|thumb|right|350px|Young Brynden with his mother, [[Melissa Blackwood]], by chillyravenart©]]
In {{date|175}}, Brynden was born in [[King's Landing]]{{Ref|AWOIAF|Brynden Rivers}} as the [[bastard]] son of King [[Aegon IV Targaryen]] and his sixth mistress, Lady [[Melissa Blackwood]], who had replaced the king's fifth mistress, Lady [[Barba Bracken]].{{Ref|ADWD|48}} He was named Brynden as an infant by his mother.{{ref|ADWD|34}} Brynden's older sisters were [[Mya Rivers|Mya]] and [[Gwenys Rivers]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}} Although Melissa was eventually dismissed by Aegon IV in favor of his seventh mistress, Lady [[Bethany Bracken]], Brynden was able to maintain close relations at court because of Melissa's popularity.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}} He learned how the fight under the tutelage of Ser [[Quentyn Ball]], who also taught the other Great Bastards and the sons of their half-brother Daeron.{{Ref|TMK}}

Brynden was resented by Barba's bastard son, [[Aegor Rivers]], nicknamed "Bittersteel". At some point, Brynden became a lover to his half-sister, [[Shiera Seastar]]. As Aegor desired her as well, Shiera became another point of rivalry between the two half-siblings.{{Ref|ADWD|67}} Brynden would become Shiera's most ardent admirer.{{Ref|SSM|1459}}

Like his other bastard siblings, Brynden was legitimized by his father Aegon IV in {{Date|184}}, when the king was on his deathbed.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}} After succeeding as king, Brynden's half-brother King Daeron II maintained all the incomes that King Aegon had bestowed upon the Great Bastards.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}}

===Reign of King Daeron II Targaryen===
====First Blackfyre Rebellion====
Ahead of their half-brother [[Daemon I Blackfyre|Daemon Blackfyre]] declaring himself king, King [[Daeron II Targaryen]] sent the [[Kingsguard]] to arrest him. Though it was unclear how word reached King Daeron that Daemon intended to make a bid for the throne within the turn of the moon, [[Grand Maester]] [[Merion]] would later suggest in his unfinished '''[[The Red Dragon and the Black]]'' that Brynden was involved. During the [[First Blackfyre Rebellion]] that followed, Brynden remained loyal to his trueborn half-brother King Daeron II against Daemon I Blackfyre.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}} Brynden commanded his private guards, a group of longbowmen called the [[Raven's Teeth]].{{Ref|TSS}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon V}}

At the [[Battle of the Redgrass Field]] in {{Date|196}}, the Raven's Teeth gained the [[Weeping Ridge]] and rained arrows down onto the [[House Blackfyre|Blackfyres]] from three hundred yards away, killing first Daemon's eldest son [[Aegon Blackfyre|Aegon]], then Daemon himself, and finally Aegon's twin, [[Aemon Blackfyre|Aemon]].{{Ref|TSS}} The arrows are said to have been driven by Brynden's sorcery,{{Ref|TSS}} and people later named Brynden a [[Kinslaying|kinslayer]].{{Ref|TSS}}{{Ref|TMK}} Daemon's death led the rebels to rout, but some were rallied by [[Aegor Rivers]] in a mad charge.{{Ref|TSS}} The resulting duel between the rival half brothers left Brynden blinded in one eye and Aegor retreating. With Daemon and his eldest sons dead, Aegor fled into exile in the [[Free Cities]] with Daemon's wife, daughters, and remaining sons.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}}

====Later Reign of Daeron II====
After the war, Brynden would continue to serve the victorious King Daeron{{Ref|TSS}} and rose to prominence at court.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys I}} By {{Date|205}}, Brynden was known to the commons as "the king's sorceror."{{Ref|TSS}} In the years preceding {{Date|209}}, Brynden served on Daeron's [[small council]], although it's unknown if he held an official position.{{refn|group="N"|Brynden was [[master of whisperers]] for Daeron II's successor, Aerys I,{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys I}} but it's unclear if he held that office in Daeron II's reign or if he held an advisory role without official title.}} During small council meetings, Brynden would debate matters including how best to deal with defeated rebels. While the [[Hand of the King]] and heir, Prince [[Baelor Targaryen (son of Daeron II)|Baelor Targaryen]], advocated for clemency, Brynden argued against pardons out of concern they would only help to stoke the next rebellion.{{Ref|TSS}}

===Reign of King Aerys I Targaryen===
[[File:Bloodraven by BellaBergolts.jpg|thumb|right|350px|Bloodraven, by Bella Bergolts ©]]
Although Brynden had risen to a place of prominence at court by the end of King Daeron II's reign, few anticipated that his nephew, King [[Aerys I Targaryen]], would name him his [[Hand of the King]] upon taking the throne in {{Date|209}}. At the time of his appointment, Brynden's studies of the higher mysteries were an open secret and suggested by some as the reason Aerys chose him, for he shared that interest. He would also serve as Aerys's [[master of whisperers]] for the duration of his reign.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys I}} His first major trial was the [[Great Spring Sickness]], an epidemic that had killed King [[Daeron II Targaryen]], Princes [[Valarr Targaryen|Valarr]] and [[Matarys Targaryen]], and tens of thousands more. Seeing the corpses pile up in the streets of [[King's Landing]], Brynden ordered the pyromancers of the [[Alchemists' Guild]] to burn them in the [[Dragonpit]]. At night, the green glow of the [[wildfire]] pyres could be seen throughout the whole city.{{Ref|TSS}}

Around the same time, a drought began that lasted a little more than a year,{{refn|group="N"|At the time of ''[[The Sworn Sword]]'', the drought enters its second year. By the end of ''The Sworn Sword'', it begins to rain, ending the drought.}} causing many [[smallfolk]] to leave their lands in search of somewhere the rain still fell. Brynden ordered them to return to their own lands but few obeyed. Indeed they blamed Brynden, cursing him as a kinslayer. Many of them became robbers. Prices increased as trade dwindled, and it was widely held that travel was less safe under Aerys's reign than it had been under that of his father.{{Ref|TSS}} Some people alleged that Brynden and his paramour, his half-sister [[Shiera Seastar]], used sorcery to uncover secrets.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys I}} Brynden proposed to Shiera numerous times, but she always refused his offers of marriage.{{Ref|SSM|1459}}

In {{Date|211}}, Ser [[Otho Bracken]], known as the Brute of [[House Bracken|Bracken]], was expected to succeed to the [[lord]]ship of [[Stone Hedge]]. Not wanting to see such a man in power, the traditional Bracken rivals of [[House Blackwood]] were expected to start a war to root him out. It was suggested that Brynden, being half-Blackwood himself, would not be inclined to hear any complaints of a member of House Bracken. Septon [[Sefton Staunton|Sefton]] believed that Brynden would most likely do nothing, and that ''if'' he did decide to act, it would only be to help his Blackwood cousins to bring Otho to bay.{{Ref|TSS}}

In {{Date|211}} Lord [[Dagon Greyjoy]] raided the western coast, including [[Fair Isle]], the shipping of the [[Arbor]], and the village of [[Little Dosk]] in the [[Reach]].{{Ref|TSS}} By {{Date|212}}, Lord [[Beron Stark]] had called his banners to repulse the [[ironmen]] from the [[Stony Shore]], while [[House Lannister]] was building [[ships]] to strike at the [[Iron Islands]].{{Ref|TMK}} During all of this Brynden kept his eye on [[Tyrosh]], where his half-brother [[Aegor Rivers]] remained with the surviving sons of Daemon Blackfyre in exile.{{Ref|TMK}} However, [[Victarion Greyjoy]] recalls that, "...even Dagon could not defeat the dragons",{{Ref|ADWD|63}} suggesting that the Targaryens eventually intervened.

===Second Blackfyre Rebellion===
[[File:Bloodraven by Naomimakesart.png|right|thumb|350px|Bloodraven at the [[Second Blackfyre Rebellion]], by Naomimakesart©]]
During the [[wedding tourney at Whitewalls]] in {{Date|212}}, Ser [[Maynard Plumm]] defended Brynden's actions as Hand to Ser [[Kyle the Cat]].{{Ref|TMK}} Through his informants,{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys I}} including a [[House Vyrwel|Vyrwel]] man-at-arms and a troupe of comic [[dwarf]]s, Brynden was aware of a plot at [[Whitewalls]] to put [[Daemon II Blackfyre]] forward as the legitimate [[Lord of the Seven Kingdoms]]. Brynden marched on the tourney with three hundred Raven's Teeth, three brothers of the [[Kingsguard]], five hundred other [[knight]]s, and five thousand infantry drawn from the [[crownlands]] and the [[riverlands]]. In the face of such a force Daemon tried to rally the tourney-goers to battle, but found little support. Daemon then challenged the Hand to single combat; Brynden refused and arrested the pretender, thus containing the [[Second Blackfyre Rebellion]].{{Ref|TMK}} Daemon was kept in captivity rather than executed with the other rebel leaders, ensuring that Aegor Rivers could not name his brother [[Haegon Blackfyre|Haegon]] as a serious pretender.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys I}}

===Third Blackfyre Rebellion===
In the aftermath of the [[Third Blackfyre Rebellion]], Brynden argued that the captive [[Aegor Rivers]] should be put to death, but King [[Aerys I Targaryen]] decided to send Aegor to the [[Night's Watch]] instead. However, Aegor Rivers escaped back to [[Essos]] when his ship was intercepted en route to [[Eastwatch]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys I}}

===Reign of King Maekar I Targaryen===
Despite their history of frequent quarrels, when [[Maekar I Targaryen]] succeeded his brother{{Ref|AWOIAF|Brynden Rivers}} in {{Date|221}},{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Maekar I}} Brynden's history of success as Aerys's Hand made him grudgingly accept him as his own.{{Ref|AWOIAF|Brynden Rivers}}

===Great Council of 233 AC===
[[File:LordCommanderRiversBeyondTheWallTake2_by_MikeHallstein.jpg|thumb|350px|Brynden Rivers as [[Lord Commander of the Night's Watch|Lord Commander]] of the [[Night's Watch]], by [http://mike-hallstein.deviantart.com/ Mike Hallstein] ©]]
After Maekar's death in {{Date|233}}, Brynden, as the [[Hand of the King]], called a [[Great Council]] in [[King's Landing]] to discuss the disputed matter of succession. [[Aenys Blackfyre]] wanted to peacefully participate in the Great Council, and Brynden offered him safe conduct to King's Landing from [[Tyrosh]]. Once Aenys arrived in the capital, however, he was arrested by the [[gold cloaks]] and then beheaded in the [[Red Keep]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Maekar I}}

The Great Council chose Maekar's youngest son to succeed as King [[Aegon V Targaryen]], whose first act was to arrest Brynden for the murder of Aenys.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon V}} It is suggested by [[Maester]] [[Aemon Targaryen (son of Maekar I)|Aemon]] that Brynden was imprisoned in the Red Keep's dungeons.{{Ref|AFFC|15}} Brynden argued that he had sacrificed his honor for the good of the realm, but Aegon refused to set Brynden free. He instead offered the option of [[Night's Watch|taking the black]] instead of death, which Brynden accepted.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon V}}

===Night's Watch===
When Maester Aemon sailed for the [[Wall]] in {{Date|233}}, he was escorted by King Aegon V's friend, Ser [[Duncan the Tall]] of the [[Kingsguard]], and accompanied by an honor guard of recruits for the Night's Watch. These were two hundred men and prisoners, including Brynden Rivers. Many of the men were archers from Brynden's [[Raven's Teeth]].{{Ref|AFFC|15}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon V}} According to a semi-canon source, Brynden took [[Dark Sister]] with him when he went to the Wall.<ref>Twitter: [https://twitter.com/westeroshistory/status/1029594354308898816 @WesterosHistory: Bloodraven confirmed to have taken Dark Sister to the Wall], August 15, 2018</ref>

Brynden was elected as [[Lord Commander of the Night's Watch]] in {{Date|239}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon V}}{{Ref|AFFC|15}} However, in {{Date|252}}, he disappeared while ranging [[beyond the Wall]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon V}}

==Recent Events==
===''A Feast for Crows''===
Maester [[Aemon Targaryen (son of Maekar I)|Aemon]] tells [[Samwell Tarly]] that Brynden accompanied him to the [[Wall]] when he joined the [[Night's Watch]], with Ser [[Duncan the Tall]] as an escort. The singer [[Dareon]] remarks that he knows a song about Bloodraven, "[[A Thousand Eyes, and One]]".{{Ref|AFFC|15}}

'''Aegor Rivers''', frequently called '''Bittersteel''', was one of the [[Great Bastards]], a son of King [[Aegon IV Targaryen]] by his fifth [[mistress]], Lady [[Barba Bracken]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}}{{ref|SSM|1467}} The [[knight]] was a major supporter of the pretender king [[Daemon I Blackfyre]] and the later [[Blackfyre pretenders]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}} Aegor was the founder of the [[Golden Company]], a famed group of exiled [[sellsword]]s.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}} In his [[heraldry|personal arms]], he combined the red [[horse|stallion]] of [[House Bracken]] with black [[dragon]] wings from [[House Blackfyre]], on a [[gold]]en field.{{ref|SSM|1467}}

==Appearance and Character==
{{See also|:Category:Images of Aegor Rivers|l1=Images of Aegor Rivers}}
Being half-[[House Targaryen|Targaryen]], Aegor had [[purple eyes]], but black hair. As an adult, he had a close-cropped beard, little more than a shadow on his face. He looked like a warrior, tall and muscular, but was lean and lithe like a [[panther]].{{ref|SSM|1467}}

Aegor's armor was well-made but plain, grey-steel and black rings. On his helm was a [[horse]]head crest, with a horse's mane flowing behind. His shield displayed his personal sigil: a stallion with black [[dragon]] wings, on a golden field, snorting fire.{{ref|SSM|1467}}

Angry all of his life, Aegor never smiled.{{ref|SSM|1467}} Reportedly, he was a hard man who had little use for anything beyond war.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys I}} Bittersteel was easily irritated and offended, sometimes attributed to his [[House Bracken|Bracken]] blood.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}} Aegor especially loathed his younger half-brother, [[Brynden Rivers]], and Brynden's mother, [[Melissa Blackwood]], who had replaced Aegor's mother, [[Barba Bracken]], as King [[Aegon IV Targaryen]]'s mistress.{{ref|SSM|1467}}

==History==
===Early life===
In {{date|172}}, Aegor was born at [[King's Landing]] to the fifth of King [[Aegon IV Targaryen]]'s mistresses, [[Barba Bracken]]. Aegor was born only a fortnight before Aegon's wife, Queen [[Naerys Targaryen]], nearly died in childbirth. With Naerys lingering near death, [[Lord Bracken (Hand of the King)|Barba's father]], the [[Hand of the King]], began to speak openly of Barba marrying King Aegon IV. However, his words became a scandal when Queen Naerys recovered her health. Naerys's brother, Prince [[Aemon Targaryen (son of Viserys II)|Aemon the Dragonknight]], and her son, Prince [[Daeron II Targaryen|Daeron Targaryen]], forced King Aegon to send both Barba and her [[bastard]] son away from court. Aegor was raised at [[Stone Hedge]] in the [[riverlands]] by the Brackens.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}}

King Aegon IV was visiting Aegor at Stone Hedge in {{date|177}} when he met Barba's younger sister, [[Bethany Bracken]], and took her for his seventh mistress. However, Bethany's affair with Ser [[Terrence Toyne]], a [[Kingsguard]], soon resulted in the execution of Terrence, Bethany, and her father, Aegor's grandfather.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon IV}}

The angry Aegor reserved particular loathing for his half-brother [[Brynden Rivers]], whose mother, [[Melissa Blackwood]], had replaced his own as their father's favorite mistress. Aegor loathed Brynden, who was known as Bloodraven, even further when [[Shiera Seastar]], their beautiful half-sister and a fellow [[Great Bastard]], chose Brynden over him. Their other half-brother, [[Daemon I Blackfyre|Daemon Blackfyre]], agreed to wed his daughter [[Calla Blackfyre|Calla]] to Aegor; however, it is unknown if and when the marriage took place. Aegor often urged Daemon to press his own claim to the [[Iron Throne]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}}

===First Blackfyre Rebellion===
In the [[First Blackfyre Rebellion]] in {{Date|196}}, Aegor sided with the pretender king [[Daemon I Blackfyre]] against King [[Daeron II Targaryen]]. During the [[battle of the Redgrass Field]], Aegor commanded the right of Daemon's host.{{Ref|TMK}}

To prevent a rout upon Daemon's death during the battle, Aegor picked up Daemon's [[Valyrian steel]] sword, [[Blackfyre]], rallied his troops, and madly charged into the [[Raven's Teeth]], the archers of Brynden Rivers. Bittersteel met Bloodraven in the middle of his charge, and a mighty duel followed. Though he took out Bloodraven's eye during their duel, Aegor ultimately fled the battlefield.{{Ref|TSS}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}}

Bittersteel fled Westeros with Daemon's widow, [[Rohanne of Tyrosh]], her surviving children, the blade Blackfyre, and hundreds of now-landless lords and knights, eventually settling in the [[Free Cities|Free City]] of [[Tyrosh]].{{Ref|TSS}}{{Ref|ADWD|5}}

===The Golden Company===
[[File:Marc Simonetti Bittersteel golden company.jpg|thumb|right|450px|Bittersteel leading the [[Golden Company]], as depicted by Marc Simonetti in ''[[The World of Ice & Fire]]''.]]
Aegor served a year with the [[Second Sons]] mercenary company.{{Ref|ADWD|66}} However, as other exile lords began to join other mercenary companies and the support for the [[House Blackfyre|Blackfyres]] began to scatter, Bittersteel left the Second Sons to create the [[Golden Company]], to bind the exiles together.{{Ref|ADWD|5}} Shortly after its creation, the Golden Company became one of the most famous and disciplined [[sellsword]] companies known in the [[Free Cities]]. They quickly established their reputation by sacking [[Qohor]] when the city refused to honor its contract.{{Ref|AWOIAF|Aegor Rivers}} While sellswords are notoriously unreliable, the Golden Company has a respectable reputation. They are said to have never broken a contract.{{Ref|AFFC|13}} The war cry of the Golden Company is "Beneath the [[gold]], the bitter [[steel]],"{{Ref|AFFC|21}}{{Ref|ADWD|5}} which refers to Aegor's nickname, Bittersteel.

The Golden Company was heavily involved in three of the four [[Blackfyre Pretenders|Blackfyre Rebellions]] that followed the [[First Blackfyre Rebellion|first one]]. However, Aegor refused to support the pretender king [[Daemon II Blackfyre]] during the [[Second Blackfyre Rebellion]] in {{Date|211}}, and [[maester]]s of the [[Citadel]] often debate why. Many believe that Daemon and Lord [[Gormon Peake]] could not convince Aegor that their plan was sensible and could succeed despite the odds. Some think Bittersteel was a man who had little use for anything but war and distrusted Daemon's [[dream]]s and love of fine things, and some think Daemon's homosexuality troubled Aegor enough to deny him his assistance.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys I}} Bittersteel remained in [[Essos]] with the sword [[Blackfyre]], a factor in the failure of the rebellion.{{Ref|TMK}}

[[File:Aegor_Rivers_by_Jota_Saraiva.jpg|thumb|right|450px|Aegor by Jota Saraiva]]

In {{Date|219}}, [[Haegon I Blackfyre]] and Bittersteel launched the [[Third Blackfyre Rebellion]]. During the rebellion, Bloodraven and Bittersteel dueled for the second time. At the end of the battle, Haegon was killed after surrendering, but Aegor was captured and brought to the [[Red Keep]] in chains. Though Brynden Rivers and Prince [[Aerion Targaryen]] argued that Aegor should be executed, King [[Aerys I Targaryen]] decided to send him to the [[Wall]] to join the [[Night's Watch]]. However, the ship taking Aegor north was intercepted, and he was freed and returned to the Golden Company. Before the year was over, Aegor crowned [[Daemon III Blackfyre]], Haegon I's eldest son, and resumed plotting against King Aerys in [[Tyrosh]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys I}}

During one of the Blackfyre Rebellions, Aegor swore a blood oath with [[Torwyn Greyjoy]], but this [[Lord Reaper of Pyke]] betrayed Bittersteel to his enemies.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Iron Islands: The Old Way and the New}}

In {{Date|236}}, Aegor landed on [[Massey's Hook]] at the head of the Golden Company with Daemon III, starting the [[Fourth Blackfyre Rebellion]]. The rebellion was crushed at the [[Battle of Wendwater Bridge]], though Aegor managed to escape.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon V}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Westerlands: House Lannister Under the Dragons}} A few years after that battle, Aegor reappeared in the [[Disputed Lands]], fighting with the Golden Company in a skirmish between Tyrosh and [[Myr]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon V}}

When Aegor died at the age of sixty-nine in {{Date|241}}, it is said he died as he had lived, with a sword in his hand and defiance upon his lips.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon V}} On his deathbed, he commanded the men of the Golden Company to boil the flesh from his skull, [[golden skulls|dip it in gold]], and carry it before them when they crossed the [[narrow sea]] to retake [[Westeros]]. The [[Captain-general|captains-general]] who have since led the Golden Company have followed Aegor's example.{{Ref|aDwD|24}}

===Legacy===
According to a semi-canon source, Aegor had no children.<ref>{{Cite video | url = https://youtu.be/ThdsQtp1Sxw?si=ZN3gmI9kLln3lpwV&t=6693 | title = GRRM interview with John Picacio in Redwood City at the Fox Theater | time = 1:51:33 | date = August 14, 2018}}</ref> The war cry of the [[Golden Company]], "Beneath the gold, the bitter steel", pays homage to their founder.{{Ref|AFFC|21}}

==Recent Events==
===''A Feast for Crows''===
In [[Dorne]], Princess [[Arianne Martell]] tells Ser [[Arys Oakheart]] that the [[Golden Company]] has broken their contract with [[Myr]], mentioning that the exiles are united by the dream of Bittersteel.{{Ref|AFFC|13}}

===''A Dance with Dragons''===
[[Illyrio Mopatis]] discusses the Golden Company with the exiled [[Tyrion Lannister]], who recalls the story of Aegor's founding of the [[sellsword]] company. That night, Tyrion dreams of a battle in [[Westeros]] in which he fights alongside Ser [[Barristan Selmy]] and Bittersteel with [[dragon]]s overhead. Tyrion kills his father, Lord [[Tywin Lannister|Tywin]], and brother, Ser [[Jaime Lannister|Jaime]], in the dream.{{ref|ADWD|5}} When Tyrion joins the [[Second Sons]], [[Tybero Istarion]] informs him that Bittersteel had served with that company before establishing the Golden Company.{{ref|ADWD|66}}

Aegor's [[golden skulls|skull]], along with those of successive [[Captain-general|captains-general]], is still in possession of the Golden Company. All are kept in the tent of the current captain-general, Ser [[Harry Strickland]], with Aegor's displayed in the center on a tall pike. [[Jon Connington]] sees Aegor's grinning skull when he meets with the Golden Company in [[Volon Therys]].{{Ref|ADWD|24}} During the [[landing of the Golden Company]] in the [[stormlands]], Jon realizes that Harry is a much more cautious leader than Aegor.{{ref|ADWD|61}}

===''The Winds of Winter''===
{{warning/twow}}
At the [[crofters' village]], Ser [[Justin Massey]] advises [[Stannis Baratheon]] to regroup across the [[narrow sea]] and raise a new army as Bittersteel did after the [[Battle of the Redgrass Field]]. Stannis refuses, however, as Aegor was a [[bastard]] who never succeeded in putting any of [[Daemon I Blackfyre|Daemon Blackfyre's]] sons on the [[Iron Throne]].<ref name=TheonI>''[[The Winds of Winter]]'', [[Theon I (The Winds of Winter)|Theon I]]</ref>

'''''The Sworn Sword''''' is the second in [[George R. R. Martin]]'s ''[[Dunk and Egg|Tales of Dunk & Egg]]'', following the story of the [[hedge knight]] [[Duncan the Tall]] and his squire [[Aegon V Targaryen|Egg]], a year and a half after the events of ''[[The Hedge Knight]]''. It was first published in the ''Legends II'' anthology series, a collection of short stories by authors such as [[:w:Tad Williams|Tad Williams]], [[:w:Orson Scott Card|Orson Scott Card]], and [[:w:Neil Gaiman|Neil Gaiman]].

The novella focuses on the difficult path of chivalry when taking part in petty feuds and casual injustices are part and parcel of what it means to be a sworn man in the [[feudalism|feudal]] [[Seven Kingdoms]].

==Story==
{{Main|The Sworn Sword-Summary}}

A year and a half after ''The Hedge Knight'', the [[Seven Kingdoms]] are suffering from a terrible summer drought, which in turn had followed the [[Great Spring Sickness]]. [[Dunk]] has sworn his sword to Ser [[Eustace Osgrey]] of [[Standfast]] in the [[Reach]]. Eustace is an old, done knight who dwells on the dual-losses of his family and its ancient honors.

Dunk and Egg return to Standfast from a short journey to [[Dosk]] for supplies. Upon their return, they discover that [[Chequy Water|a local stream]] has dried up while they were gone. Suspicious, and unheeding of the warning by fellow sworn sword Ser [[Bennis of the Brown Shield]], Dunk sends Egg ahead to Standfast and goes to investigate. Upstream Dunk and Bennis they discover that a dam has been built on the order of Lady [[Rohanne Webber]] of [[Coldmoat]]. When the workmen refuse to take down the dam, Ser Bennis cuts one of them with his longsword.

At Standfast, Dunk and Bennis find Ser Eustace cleaning the shield of Ser [[Wilbert Osgrey]], who lived in the time of King [[Gyles III Gardener]] and King [[Lancel IV Lannister]]. When Eustace is done telling the hedge knights the story of Ser Wilbert, they inform him about the dam. When Eustace hears how Bennis taught one of the workers a lesson, he is quick to realize that Lady Rohanne will not suffer such an insult. He orders Bennis and Dunk to gather men from his three villages and train them to fight. However, they only manage to find eight men. After a day of training Bennis tells Dunk that the peasants will not be able to stand against Rohanne's knights.

Discussing the situation with Egg, the young boy suggests "using his boot", in which he has hidden a ring with [[Maekar I Targaryen|his father's]] personal sigil on it. Dunk tells him that, although it is honorable for Egg to wish to safe the [[smallfolk]] serving Eustace, his identity has to remain a secret. That night, Dunk dreams about burying his horse [[Chestnut]] in [[Dorne]]. He digs the grave while Ser [[Arlan of Pennytree]], Prince [[Baelor Targaryen (son of Daeron II)|Baelor Targaryen]], and Baelor's eldest son [[Valarr Targaryen|Valarr]] comment. More and more people of Standfast appear, and eventually Egg is buried alive underneath the sands of the Dornish dessert.

The next morning, Eustace witnesses a training, which does not go well. Eustace compares Bennis and Dunk training the men to the time his sons trained their fathers before marching to war in the [[First Blackfyre Rebellion]]. Still mindfull of his dream from the previous night, Dunk asks Eustace if there truly is no other way, and the knight suggests a bloodprice, an ancient form of [[w:Wergeld|wergeld]]. Eustace refuses to break a vow he had taken decades before, never to set foot on Coldmoat's grounds again, and so Dunk offers to go in Eustace's stead.

Dunk arrives at Coldmoat, where he realizes that the terrible stories he has been told about Rohanne are not completely true. Rohanne is an pretty young woman, to whom he is attracted, instead of an old widow. He is informed that the river does not belong to Ser Eustace, but had been granted by King [[Daeron II Targaryen]] to [[House Webber]] for its services in the [[Blackfyre Rebellion]]. It had been taken from [[House Osgrey]] in punishment for their support of [[Daemon I Blackfyre]].

Dunk and Egg also learn that the lady has to remarry within a short time or lose her lands to a cousin as stated in her father's testament. Her father also tasked Ser [[Lucas Inchfield|Lucas 'Longinch']] to protect her against unworthy suitors. Ser Lucas has interpreted this to shield her against all suitors and tries to get her to marry him.

The meeting does not end well. Lady Rohanne refuses to break up the dam or take the bloodprice. She demands that Ser Bennis will be turned over to her or else she will take him herself.
Shocked and angered by all the revelations Ser Duncan wants to leave Osgrey's service. However, as he realizes that the villagers will not stand a chance against Lady Rohanne's well-armed soldiers, he decides to stay.

The next morning Ser Osgrey, Duncan and Egg ride to the river where they meet Lady Webber and her small army. Ser Duncan asks and is granted a private parley with Lady Webber. He shows her Egg's ring, proving Egg is a prince of the blood. He cuts his own cheeks to make up for the wounding of her man. Lady Rohanne is impressed but still demands an apology from Ser Eustace, who refuses. The parties decide to settle the matter in a fight between their champions. Duncan fights Ser Lucas and is able to kill him but almost drowns in the process.

When he wakes up Ser Eustace and Lady Rohanne have settled their differences and have married. Duncan is asked to remain at Standfast as their captain of the guard but refuses. Barely recovered he prepares to leave. Lady Rohanne meets him at the stables and offers her finest horse and her apologies. Dunk refuses both, but Rohanne demands that he take something of her. They kiss passionately and Duncan cuts her braid so that he will have something to remember her.

==Plot summary==
{{Main|Chapters#A Clash of Kings{{!}}Chapter Summaries}}

''A Clash of Kings'' picks up the story where ''[[A Game of Thrones]]'' leaves off. The [[Seven Kingdoms]] are plagued by civil war, the [[Night's Watch]] mounts a reconnaissance force [[beyond the Wall|north of the Wall]], and in the distant [[Essos|east]], [[Daenerys Targaryen]] continues her quest to return to the Seven Kingdoms and claim her birthright.

The novel spans most of the year {{Date|299}} (After Conquest).

===In the Seven Kingdoms===
The civil war in the [[Seven Kingdoms]] complicates further when the [[House Greyjoy|Greyjoys]] make their entrance. [[Robb Stark]]'s attempts to secure an alliance with the Greyjoys are rebuffed and answered with a massive assault along the west coast of [[the North]]. [[Ironborn]] raiders seize control of [[Fall of Moat Cailin|Moat Cailin]], [[Capture of Torrhen's Square|Torrhen's Square]] and [[Taking of Deepwood Motte|Deepwood Motte]], whilst raiding the [[Stony Shore]].

At [[Winterfell]], [[Bran Stark]] is left in charge of the castle and begins suffering from strange dreams. He finds two new friends when [[Jojen Reed|Jojen]] and [[Meera Reed]], children of [[Eddard Stark]]'s close friend Lord [[Howland Reed|Howland]], arrive from [[Greywater Watch]] and take an interest in his dreams.

Meanwhile, [[Stannis Baratheon]] declares himself [[King of Westeros]] with the support of the lords of the [[narrow sea]] and [[Melisandre]], a red priestess of the eastern god [[R'hllor]]. Enraged when his brother [[Renly Baratheon|Renly]] also makes a claim for the throne, Stannis chooses to [[Siege of Storm's End (299)|besiege]] his own home castle of [[Storm's End]] to force Renly to march east and treat with him. [[Catelyn Stark]], who has journeyed south to discuss a possible alliance against the [[House Lannister|Lannisters]], also accompanies Renly. The ensuing parley ends in acrimony and Renly resolves to destroy his brother with his larger army. However, without warning a mysterious shadow comes to life in Renly's own tent and kills him. Shocked, Catelyn and the only other witness, the warrior-maid [[Brienne of Tarth]], flee the scene. Having lost Renly, the storm lords have no choice but to declare for Stannis. Storm's End itself only falls, however, when Stannis's loyal Ser [[Davos Seaworth|Davos]], a former smuggler, sneaks Melisandre below the castle in a small boat. To his horror, Melisandre gives birth to a [[shadow assassin|shadow]] which enters Storm's End and slays its [[Cortnay Penrose|stubborn castellan]].

In King's Landing, [[Tyrion Lannister]] arrives to act as [[Hand of the King|Hand]] in [[Tywin Lannister|Lord Tywin's]] stead. Whilst intriguing against his sister [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei]], Tyrion improves the city's defenses. Learning of Renly's death, Tyrion resolves on two courses of action. Knowing that the [[House Tyrell|Tyrells]] will not be happy following Stannis, he decides to make them a better offer. He also resolves to bring the [[House Martell|Martells]] of [[Dorne]] into the war on his side. He sends [[Petyr Baelish|Littlefinger]] to treat with the Tyrells and sends other messengers to Dorne. He wins Littlefinger's support by promising to make him the Lord of [[Harrenhal]]. The negotiations are solidified by marriage arrangements. Lord [[Mace Tyrell]] agrees to wed his daughter [[Margaery Tyrell|Margaery]] to King [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey I]], whilst Prince [[Doran Martell]] agrees to marry his son [[Trystane Martell|Trystane]] to Joffrey's sister [[Myrcella Baratheon|Myrcella]].

[[Theon Greyjoy]] leads a small force of ironmen north and [[capture of Winterfell|captures Winterfell]], taking [[Bran Stark|Bran]] and [[Rickon Stark]] captive. Theon's sister [[Asha Greyjoy|Asha]] suggests he raze the castle and flee before other northmen arrive to reclaim it, but Theon petulantly tries to hold onto his new castle. Eventually a strong force of northmen arrive and discover what appear to be the corpses of Bran and Rickon Stark. However, as the disgusted besiegers begin to mount their assault on Winterfell, the contingent of [[House Bolton]], led by Lord [[Roose Bolton]]'s bastard son [[Ramsay Snow]], [[battle at Winterfell|turn on the other northmen]] and drive them off. Theon eagerly opens the gates to his new 'allies', only to be betrayed and taken captive. [[Sack of Winterfell|Winterfell is burned]] and the Boltons return to the [[Dreadfort]]. Shortly after, Bran and Rickon emerge from hiding, unharmed and decide to split up. [[Osha]], a [[wildling]] woman serving in Winterfell, agrees to take Rickon to safety, whilst Bran and the Reeds travel north to the Wall.

Robb Stark leads his northern army into the [[westerlands]] and emerges victorious from a number of battles against Lannister forces, winning a battle at [[Battle of Oxcross|Oxcross]] and storming [[Taking of Ashemark|Ashemark]] and [[Storming of the Crag|the Crag]]. Tywin reluctantly emerges from Harrenhal and attempts to pass the fords near Riverrun, where he is [[Battle of the Fords|stopped]] by [[Edmure Tully]], Catelyn's brother and the infirm Lord Hoster's heir. Although this prevents the Lannisters from falling on Robb's rear, it allows them to rapidly march south to join their new allies, the Tyrells.

[[Arya Stark]], posing as a boy named Arry, is taken north by [[Yoren]] as a new recruit for the Night's Watch. However, they are attacked by Lannister freeriders led by Ser [[Amory Lorch]] and Yoren is killed at [[Gods Eye town|a town]] on the shores of [[Gods Eye]]. Arya escapes, along with [[Gendry]], [[Hot Pie]], and [[Lommy Greenhands]], and in the process saves the lives of [[Jaqen H'ghar]], [[Rorge]], and [[Biter]], three criminals Yoren was bringing to the Wall, who run off on their own. Shortly after, Arya, Gendry, and Hot Pie are captured by men under the command of [[Gregor Clegane]]; Lommy, who was wounded, is killed. They are taken to [[Harrenhal]] and put to work as servants in the undermanned castle.

Whilst Arya poses as a servant at Harrenhal, going by the name "Weasel", H'ghar, Rorge, and Biter reappear as members of the [[Brave Companions]]. For saving his life during the attack, H'ghar promises to repay Arya by killing three men of her choice. For her three choices, Arya selects [[Chiswyck]], a soldier in [[Gregor Clegane]]'s forces, [[Weese]], her servant overseer, and Jaqen H'ghar himself. The first two murders he carries out without question; in lieu of the third choice, Arya leverages H'ghar to help her slay the Lannister soldiers guarding [[Robett Glover]], who had been taken prisoner by the Brave Companions. After Glover is freed, the Brave Companions [[Sack of Harrenhal|turn their cloaks]] and join with the North. Control of Harrenhal is ceded to [[Roose Bolton]], whom Arya serves as cupbearer.

H'ghar gives gives Arya a mysterious iron coin and tells her to find him in [[Braavos]] if she should ever desire to learn his secrets. He then adopts a new identity and leaves. Bolton executes Lorch in the castle's bear pit and orders a Northern foot army to advance on [[Duskendale]] to threaten King's Landing from the north, informing them that the orders come directly from Robb Stark. Arya kills one of Roose's guards and escapes Harrenhal with Gendry and Hot Pie.

Stannis Baratheon's army reaches King's Landing and a combined assault is launched by both land and sea. Tyrion traps the Baratheon fleet in the mouth of the [[Blackwater Rush]] with a huge chain and destroys Stannis's fleet by detonating barrels of [[wildfire]] on nearby ships. Despite heavy losses, some of Stannis' men establish a foothold on the north shore until a brave sally led by Tyrion dislodges them. Tyrion is nearly killed when he is betrayed by one of the [[Kingsguard]], Ser [[Mandon Moore]], but is saved by his squire, [[Podrick Payne]]. The [[Battle of the Blackwater]] ends when Stannis is unexpectedly flanked by Tywin and the Tyrells and barely manages to escape with a few thousand soldiers and a handful of ships.

In Riverrun, Catelyn's grieves over the supposed death of her sons, Rickon and Bran. While questioning the captive [[Jaime Lannister]], she reaches for a sword.

=== On the Wall ===
The [[Night's Watch]] advances northwards from [[Wall|the Wall]] into the [[haunted forest]]. They stop at [[Craster's Keep]], where a wildling man named Craster serves as an informant for the Watch. They continue north and make camp at a ruined fortress known as the [[Fist of the First Men]], which serves as a strong defensive position. Concerned about the whereabouts and activities of the King-beyond-the-Wall [[Mance Rayder]], Lord Commander [[Jeor Mormont]] sends [[Jon Snow]] and [[Qhorin Halfhand]] on a reconnaissance mission through the [[Skirling Pass]].

In the pass, Jon and Qhorin discover much wildling activity in the mountains. However, they are cornered and Qhorin commands Jon to infiltrate the wildlings by pretending to betray the Watch. In order to convince the wildlings, Jon is forced to kill the Halfhand. A wildling girl named [[Ygritte]] agrees to speak on Jon's behalf to [[Mance Rayder]], who is advancing on the Wall with an army in the tens of thousands.

=== In the East ===
Despite her three infant dragons, [[Daenerys Targaryen]]'s followers have been much reduced. The vast Dothraki army formerly commanded by her husband, Khal [[Drogo]], has broken into individual factions and she is left with only her bloodriders, Ser [[Jorah Mormont]], and a hundred or so others. Nevertheless, they proclaim her the 'Mother-of-Dragons' and 'the Unburnt' and swear to follow her.

Daenerys strikes east across the forbidding [[red waste]] and loses many of her followers to the harsh conditions before stumbling upon the ancient, abandoned city of [[Vaes Tolorro]]. They find clean water and fruit and enjoy a much-needed respite. Daenerys's bloodriders scout the surrounding region and find a safe route to the great trading city of [[Qarth]] on the [[Jade Sea]]. The Qartheen dote on Daenerys and her dragons, but her attempts to secure help claiming the throne of Westeros do not succeed. She goes to the [[House of the Undying]] to form an alliance with its powerful warlocks, but instead she is shown confusing and disturbing images. Her dragon [[Drogon]] burns down the House of the Undying, sparking the enmity of the Qartheen and encouraging Daenerys to leave the city. An [[Sorrowful Men|assassin]] hired by the warlocks attempts to kill Daenerys in the city's harbor, but it is thwarted by the arrival of two strangers: a fat warrior named [[Belwas|Strong Belwas]] and his squire, an old but hale warrior named [[Barristan Selmy|Arstan Whitebeard]]. They claim to be agents of [[Illyrio Mopatis]], come to take Daenerys back to [[Pentos]]. Daenerys agrees to accompany them back to the [[Free Cities]].

'''Aenys I Targaryen''' was [[Lord of the Seven Kingdoms]] and the second [[House Targaryen|Targaryen]] king to sit the [[Iron Throne]]. He was the son of King [[Aegon I Targaryen]] and his younger sister-wife, Queen [[Rhaenys Targaryen]]. He had a younger half-brother, [[Maegor I Targaryen]].

==Appearance and Character==
{{See also|:Category:Images of Aenys I Targaryen|l1=Images of Aenys I Targaryen}}

At birth, Aenys was small, with spindly limbs and small, watery eyes. He was weak and sickly and slow to grow, but once he was given the hatchling [[Quicksilver]], Aenys began to thrive.{{Ref|FAB|The Sons of the Dragon}}{{Ref|twoiaf|The Targaryen Kings: Aenys I}} Although not in his youth,{{ref|FAB|4}} as an adult Aenys was as tall as his father, yet slender and weedy at the same time.<ref name=ssm>[[So Spake Martin]]: [http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/Targaryen_Kings Targaryen Kings (November 1, 2005)]</ref> His fingers were long and slim. He had [[Purple eyes|lilac eyes]], paler than his father's had been, and curly hair which fell to his shoulders in ringlets.<ref name=ssm/> He also wore a silky beard and mustache.<ref name=ssm/>

Aenys dressed in the finest silks, samites, and velvets.{{Ref|tsotd}} His wardrobe included a lilac velvet robe with cloth-of-gold lining and an ermine collar. On his fingers he wore gold rings and gemstones. His crown was made of gold, much larger and more elaborate than his father's circlet.<ref name="ssm" />

Aenys was a kindhearted, courteous, charming, and soft-spoken man, who wished to be loved by everyone and always sought to please.{{Ref|tsotd}} This made him indecisive, as he would dither and hesitate over his decisions, fearing to disappoint someone.{{Ref|twoiaf| The Targaryen Kings: Aenys I}} He made friends easily, but he also trusted everyone and allowed himself to be easily influenced.{{Ref|tsotd}} He was a dreamer and delighted in music and dance,{{Ref|tsotd}} so much so that he became a patron of singers, [[mummer]]s, and mimes.{{Ref|twoiaf| The Targaryen Kings: Aenys I}} He was a good singer himself, and had a "strong, sweet voice".{{Ref|tsotd}} A charming man, young girls doted on him.{{Ref|tsotd}}

A diligent student who did not lack for courage, Aenys was an adequate fighter. However, he was not a warrior, and lacked his father's strength.{{Ref|tsotd}} Training for battle eventually lost every appeal to him. Instead, he preferred the companionship of [[maesters]] and [[septons]], and dabbled in [[alchemy]], [[astronomy]], and [[astrology]].{{Ref|tsotd}}{{Ref|twoiaf| The Targaryen Kings: Aenys I}} Aenys was a clever man, though he could not be considered bookish.{{Ref|tsotd}} He also loved to ride, and was given coursers, palfreys, and destriers. However, his favorite mount was always his [[dragon]], Quicksilver.{{Ref|tsotd}}

==History==
===Early life===
[[File:Aenys_and_Rhaenys_Targaryen_by_novembermorgon.jpg|Aenys and his mother [[Rhaenys Targaryen]] by novembermorgon|thumb|250px|left]]
Aenys was born on [[Dragonstone]] in {{Date|7}} to King [[Aegon I Targaryen]] and Queen [[Rhaenys Targaryen]]. He was weak and sickly at birth and cried all the time. He refused to nurse from [[wet nurse]]s and would only nurse at his mother's breast. He was so unlike the king that it was rumored that the boy could not be the son of Aegon the Conqueror, who was a peerless warrior, and that perhaps his father had been one of the singers or mummers that Rhaenys delighted in.{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Aenys I}}{{Ref|tsotd}} However, when Aenys was given the hatchling [[dragon]] [[Quicksilver]] in the same year, his condition quickly improved, and "as the dragon grew, so too did Aenys." The rumors that he was not Aegon's son ended at this time.{{Ref|FAB|The Sons of the Dragon}}{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Aenys I}}{{Ref|tsotd}}

Aenys was three years old when Queen Rhaenys died in [[Dorne]].{{Ref|TWOIAF| Dorne: Dorne Against the Dragons}} The death of his mother shattered him: he went back to crawling around as if he were a baby.{{Ref|FAB|The Sons of the Dragon}} Aenys was five years older than his half-brother, [[Maegor I Targaryen|Maegor]]. He was not close with Maegor while growing up, as Aenys was kept by his father's side in [[King's Landing]], while Visenya and Maegor lived on Dragonstone. Aenys was trained by his father's [[Kingsguard]], and although he was an adequate fighter, he lacked his father's size and strength. From time to time Aegon would let him practice with the [[Valyrian steel]] [[Bastard sword|sword]] [[Blackfyre]].{{Ref|tsotd}}

Aenys was married to [[Alyssa Velaryon]] in {{Date|22}}. Their marriage was a political match.{{Ref|awoiaf| Aenys I Targaryen}} Together they had six children: three sons, ([[Aegon Targaryen (son of Aenys I)|Aegon]], [[Viserys Targaryen (son of Aenys I)|Viserys]] and [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen|Jaehaerys]]), and three daughters, ([[Rhaena Targaryen (daughter of Aenys I)|Rhaena]], [[Alysanne Targaryen|Alysanne]] and [[Vaella Targaryen (daughter of Aenys I)|Vaella]]).{{Ref|TWOIAF| Appendix: Targaryen Lineages}} By all accounts, Aenys had a good and loving relationship with his wife and their children.{{Ref|tsotd}}

Aenys accompanied his father to [[Sunspear]] to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the peace between the Iron Throne and [[Dorne]].{{Ref|tsotd}} When King Aegon I turned sixty, Aenys took over the [[royal progress]]es together with his wife, Alyssa.{{Ref|tsotd}} In {{Date|37}}, when King Aegon I died of a stroke at Dragonstone, Aenys was at [[Highgarden]]. He swiftly flew Quicksilver to Dragonstone for the funeral and his coronation.{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Aegon I}} He was proclaimed king by Grand Maester [[Gawen]].{{Ref|tsotd}} After Maegor had spoken the eulogy for their father and Aegon had been cremated, Aenys gifted his brother with the sword Blackfyre, admitting that Maegor was more fit to wield the blade than he was. Aenys asked Maegor to wield the sword in service to him, and told his brother that they would rule together.{{Ref|tsotd}}

After Aegon's funeral, Aenys traveled to King's Landing, where he claimed his father's throne amidst the rubble and mud of the torn-down [[Aegonfort]] and the foundations of the [[Red Keep]]. He was cheered by many. There are conflicting written accounts about his coronation by the [[maesters]]. According to Archmaester [[Gyldayn]], Aenys was crowned with his father's circlet of [[Valyrian steel]] and rubies on [[Dragonstone]], and later, when he traveled with his wife and children to [[Oldtown]] by the way of [[Riverrun]], [[Lannisport]], and [[Highgarden]], was presented by the [[High Septon (Aenys I)|High Septon]] at the [[Starry Sept]] with a crown of yellow gold, with the faces of the Seven inlaid in jade and pearl.{{Ref|tsotd}} However, according to [[Maester]] [[Yandel]], Aenys was crowned during a ceremony in the [[Red Keep]] with an ornate golden [[crown]].{{Ref|twoiaf| The Targaryen Kings: Aenys I}}

===Reign===
[[File:Magali VilleneuKing Aenys I upon the Iron Throne.jpg|King Aenys upon the [[Iron Throne]], as depicted by Magali Villeneuve in ''[[The World of Ice & Fire]]''.|thumb|330px|right]]

Aenys received the blessings of the [[Faith of the Seven|Faith]]. Nonetheless, some people cast doubt on his ability to rule. Dowager Queen [[Visenya Targaryen]] voiced a similar opinion, claiming that, by giving [[Blackfyre]] to [[Maegor I Targaryen|Maegor]], Aenys had admitted that he lacked the strength to rule.{{Ref|tsotd}}

Within the first year of his reign, uprisings led by four rebels rose throughout the realm. The first of these occurred in the [[riverlands]], where a bandit [[outlaw]] known as [[Harren the Red|Red Harren]] claimed to be a grandson of [[Harren Hoare|Harren the Black]]. Harren and his men seized [[Harrenhal]] and killed Lord [[Gargon Qoherys]]. On the [[Iron Islands]], a man claiming to be the priest-king [[Lodos (II)|Lodos]] began to gather followers, while in the [[Dornish marches]] the [[Vulture King (Aenys I)|Vulture King]] began to gather an army of [[Dornishmen]] who wished to avenge the destruction visited upon [[Dorne]] during the [[First Dornish War]]. Finally, in the [[Vale of Arryn|Vale]], Lord [[Ronnel Arryn (King)|Ronnel Arryn]] was taken captive by his own brother, [[Jonos Arryn]].

Convinced that the [[smallfolk]] loved him, Aenys did not understand why people felt the need to rebel against him. He considered sending messengers to the four rebels, to learn why they had rebelled. While Aenys was unable to decide how best to handle the rebels, the lords of the [[Seven Kingdoms]] took matters into their own hands. Lord [[Allard Royce]] gathered forces and penned Jonos up in the [[Eyrie]], after which Prince Maegor flew up to the Eyrie on [[Balerion]] to resolve the situation.{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Aenys I}}{{Ref|tsotd}} Lord [[Goren Greyjoy]] sent his fleet to [[Old Wyk]] and [[Great Wyk]], where thousands of the followers of the priest-king Lodos were massacred. Lodos himself was slain as well, and his pickled head was sent to King Aenys in a jar.{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Aenys I}}{{Ref|tsotd}} The largest of the threats, the Vulture King, was mostly ignored by Princess [[Deria Martell]], although she assured Aenys that she was doing everything she could to put the rebellion down. Eventually the [[marcher lords]] resolved the situation, by defeating the followers of the Vulture King and capturing the Vulture King at the conclusion of the [[Vulture Hunt]].{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Aenys I}}{{Ref|tsotd}} Red Harren lasted the longest of all rebels, but he too was eventually defeated. Aenys sent his [[Hand of the King]], Lord [[Alyn Stokeworth]], to hunt Harren down with a few hundred men. Harren was eventually killed by Lord Alyn's squire, [[Bernarr Brune]].{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Aenys I}}{{Ref|tsotd}}

When all these insurrections finally ended, Aenys rewarded all [[lord]]s and [[knight]]s who had led their forces against the rebels with gold, titles, and lands. Bernarr Brune was personally knighted by Aenys as a reward for his service. Aenys granted Goren Greyjoy ''"any boon he might desire"'' as a show of gratitude, a decision Aenys would later regret as Goren required that he be allowed to expel the [[Faith of the Seven]] from the Iron Islands, much to the Faith's fury.{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Aenys I}}{{Ref|tsotd}}

As Lord Alyn Stokeworth had been killed by Red Harren, Aenys named his brother Maegor as his new Hand of the King. Despite their differences, the brothers ruled together amicably for two years.{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Aenys I}}{{Ref|tsotd}} In {{Date|39}}, shortly after the birth of Aenys's sixth child, [[Vaella Targaryen (daughter of Aenys I)|Vaella]] (who died in the cradle), a new crisis arose. Prince Maegor announced that [[Ceryse Hightower|his wife]] was barren and that he had thus taken a [[Alys Harroway|second wife]]. Aenys and Maegor quarreled bitterly about the [[polygamy|polygamous marriage]]. The [[High Septon (Aenys I)|High Septon]] denounced the marriage, and many of the pious lords in the realm similarly condemned it. Feeling he had no other option,{{Ref|twoiaf| The Targaryen Kings: Aenys I}} a furious Aenys gave his brother a choice: either set [[Alys Harroway]] aside or go into exile for five years. Maegor chose the latter option, and left for [[Pentos]] in {{Date|40}} with Alys and Balerion. Aenys requested that his brother return Blackfyre before he left, but Maegor refused to do so.{{Ref|tsotd}} In an attempt to placate the Faith, Aenys named [[Septon]] [[Murmison]] as his new Hand of the King. However, the High Septon continued to voice his discontent, while the lords of [[Westeros]] began to call Aenys weak and consider him incapable of ruling. Aenys was oblivious to these criticisms.

In {{Date|41}}, Aenys announced that his eldest daughter, Princess [[Rhaena Targaryen (daughter of Aenys I)|Rhaena]], would wed his eldest son and heir, Prince [[Aegon Targaryen (son of Aenys I)|Aegon]]. The negative reactions to his announcement took Aenys by surprise. The Faith condemned the planned [[incest|incestuous]] marriage as an obscenity, Aenys though normally indecisive, decided to stand by his decision this time and went ahead with the wedding. On the day of the wedding, [[Warrior's Sons]] scowled and made note of the guests as they entered the [[Sept of Remembrance]]. At the feast that followed the ceremony, Aenys named Aegon [[Prince of Dragonstone]], a title which had previously belonged to his brother Maegor. Dowager Queen Visenya left the feast in protest.{{Ref|FAB|The Sons of the Dragon}}

Aenys decided to send Aegon and Rhaena on a royal progress throughout the realm to win the love of the people, remembering the cheers of the smallfolk when he made his own progresses. He refused Rhaena when she requested to bring her dragon [[Dreamfyre]] with them, not wanting his son Aegon to seem unmanly by riding on a palfrey while his wife rode on dragonback. However, Rhaena and Aegon were jeered wherever they went.{{Ref|fab|The Sons of the Dragon}} For having performed the wedding ceremony, Septon Murmison was expelled from the Faith. When Aenys asked the High Septon to restore Murmison, explaining the long history of [[Valyria|Valyrian]] [[marriage]] [[customs]] practiced by [[House Targaryen]], he received a denunciation as a response, addressed to "King Abomination". The pious lords of the realm, and even the [[smallfolk]] who had once loved Aenys, turned against him. When the High Septon declared Aenys to be a pretender and a tyrant who had no right to rule the Seven Kingdoms, the Faithful responded. Within a fortnight, Septon Murmison was hacked in pieces, signaling the start of the [[Faith Militant uprising]].{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Aenys I}}

The [[Warrior's Sons]] fortified the [[Sept of Remembrance]] on [[Rhaenys's Hill]]. Aenys decided to leave for [[Dragonstone]] with his family. Three days before they were set to sail, a [[knight]] of the [[Kingsguard]]<ref group="N">Ser [[Raymont Baratheon]], according to ''[[The World of Ice & Fire]]''. In ''[[Fire & Blood]]'' the knight is unnamed.

Aenys refused to do so, but at the same time was incapable of deciding how to act instead. Eventually, the king fell ill. By late {{Date|41}}, most of the realm had turned against him. Thousands of [[Poor Fellows]] prowled the roads, threatening and slaying any of the king's supporters, while dozens of lords took up arms against the [[Iron Throne]].{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Aenys I}}{{Ref|tsotd}}

According to [[Grand Maester]] [[Gawen]], Aenys looked like a man of sixty even though he was only thirty-five years old. The maester despaired of improving his condition. When Dowager Queen Visenya took over his care, Aenys briefly improved, but he suffered a collapse upon learning that his eldest [[Aegon Targaryen (son of Aenys I)|son]] and [[Rhaena Targaryen (daughter of Aenys I)|daughter]] were besieged at [[Crakehall]] during their yearly progress.{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Aenys I}}

===Death===
Aenys died in {{Date|42}}, after only ruling for five years, at the age of thirty-five.{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Aenys I}} He was cremated at [[Dragonstone]], with his widow, [[Alyssa Velaryon]], singing a dirge for him.{{Ref|tsotd}} Years later, some people suggested that Dowager Queen [[Visenya Targaryen]] had been responsible for Aenys's sudden death. They cited Visenya's preference of her own son, [[Maegor I Targaryen|Maegor]], her ambition to seat him upon the throne, and the fact that she took care of the sick Aenys when he apparently disgusted her as her reasons.{{Ref|twoiaf| The Targaryen Kings: Aenys I}}

Due to Visenya's actions after Aenys' death, the [[Iron Throne]] passed to Aenys's half-brother [[Maegor I Targaryen|Maegor]] instead of Aenys's eldest son [[Aegon Targaryen (son of Aenys I)|Aegon]].{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Maegor I}}{{Ref|tsotd}}

'''Tyrosh''' is a harbor city and one of the [[Free Cities]]. It is on an island to the north of the [[Stepstones]], just off the coast of the [[Disputed Lands]] of [[Essos]].<ref>''[[A Dance with Dragons]]'', [[Map of the Free Cities (A Dance with Dragons)|Map of the Free Cities]]</ref>

==City==
===Location and Layout===
[[File:Coin of Tyrosh.png|thumb|right|A [[coin]] of Tyrosh, as depicted by Nutchapol Thitinunthakorn in ''[[The World of Ice & Fire]]'']]

Tyrosh, a fortress city protected by high walls, is on the northernmost and easternmost of the [[Stepstones]]. Its inner walls are [[Dragonstone (material)|fused black dragonstone]].{{ref|TWOIAF|The Free Cities: The Quarrelsome Daughters: Myr, Lys, and Tyrosh}} Tyrosh is far larger than the shadow city of [[Sunspear]].{{Ref|AFFC|2}}

Tyrosh has a large fleet.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Free Cities: The Quarrelsome Daughters: Myr, Lys, and Tyrosh}} At the mouth of its harbor lies the [[Bleeding Tower]].{{ref|AFFC|35}}

In the city lies the [[Fountain of the Drunken God]]. There is no established faith in Tyrosh, and temples and shrines in honor of many different gods line the streets and waterfronts of the city.{{ref|TWOIAF|The Free Cities: The Quarrelsome Daughters: Myr, Lys, and Tyrosh}} The [[Temple of Trios]] has a large statue of the three-headed [[Trios]] beside the temple's doors.{{Ref|ADWD|33}} [[R'hllor]] is worshipped in Tyrosh,{{ref|TWOIAF|The Free Cities: The Quarrelsome Daughters: Myr, Lys, and Tyrosh}} as well as the [[Pattern]]maker and other gods.{{ref|fab|The Year of the Three Brides - 49 AC}}

Like [[Lys]], Tyrosh has [[pleasure houses]].{{ref|ASOS|42}}

===People===
The [[Archon of Tyrosh]] is chosen from among the members of a conclave of the wealthiest and noblest of the city.{{ref|TWOIAF|The Free Cities: The Quarrelsome Daughters: Myr, Lys, and Tyrosh}}

Tyroshi are considered boisterous,{{ref|AFFC|34}} flamboyant,{{ref|ASOS|42}} and greedy.{{ref|AGOT|18}} They love bright colors, [[Hair dye|dyeing]] their hair and beards brightly{{Ref|aGoT|18}}{{ref|TWOIAF|The Free Cities: The Quarrelsome Daughters: Myr, Lys, and Tyrosh}} in colors such as blue,{{ref|ASOS|42}} green,{{ref|AGOT|3}} maroon,{{ref|ADWD|57}} pink,{{ref|AFFC|36}} purple,{{ref|AFFC|45}} scarlet,{{ref|AFFC|26}} and vermilion.{{ref|ASOS|60}} Their hats are considered queer by Westerosi.{{ref|ADWD|62}}

The Tyroshi constantly fight [[Lys]]eni and [[Myr]]men to gain control of the [[Stepstones]] and [[Disputed Lands]].{{Ref|ASOS|38}}{{Ref|ASOS|67}}<ref>[[So Spake Martin]]: [http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/1084/ Mercenaries (May 13, 2000)]</ref> Their inventors are known for creating ornate helmets and ingenious torture devices.{{ref|ACOK|55}}

The [[Tyroshi tongue]] is a corrupted form of [[High Valyrian]].{{ref|ADWD|1}} [[Chett]], who comes from [[Hag's Mire]], thinks the Tyroshi speak a wet girly tongue,{{ref|ASOS|Prologue}} and [[Symon Silver Tongue]] and [[Tyrion Lannister]] think that [[Collio Quaynis]] has a ludicrous accent.{{ref|ASOS|32}}{{ref|ASOS|60}} [[Archon's daughter (Jaehaerys I)|The daughter]] of the Archon during the early reign of King [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen]] was considered to have a delightful accent, however.{{ref|FAB|The Year of the Three Brides - 49 AC}}

===Economy===
Tyrosh is a merchantile city, where trade is considered a much more honorable profession than arms. Shortly after its founding, Tyrosh quickly grew out into a rich city, due to the discovery of a certain variety of sea [[snail]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Free Cities: The Quarrelsome Daughters: Myr, Lys, and Tyrosh}} Tyrosh has at least one bank.{{ref|FAB|A Time of Testing - The Realm Remade}}

Tyrosh is deeply involved in the [[slavery|slave trade]], and Tyroshi slavers are known to be especially aggressive. They even sail north [[beyond the Wall]], in search of [[free folk]] to enslave. Slaves outnumber freeborn in Tyrosh three to one.{{ref|TWOIAF|The Free Cities: The Quarrelsome Daughters: Myr, Lys, and Tyrosh}} [[Sellswords]] are also common in the city.

Pear brandy and baked [[honeyfingers]] are produced in Tyrosh,{{Ref|aGoT|54}} and the city's craftsmen design gilded helms and filigreed armor.{{ref|FAB|A Time of Testing - The Realm Remade}} The fantastic helmets can be shaped like birds and animals and are chased with precious metals.{{Ref|THK}}

==History==
===Foundation===
Tyrosh began as a military outpost of the [[Valyrian Freehold]] on a bleak stony isle to control shipping through the [[Stepstones]]. They soon discovered in the nearby waters a unique variety of sea [[snail]] whose secretions were used to create a dye popular with [[Valyria]]n nobles. Thousands of merchants developed Tyrosh into a major city within a generation. Tyroshi dyers learned to produce different colors of dyes by varying the diet of the snails.{{ref|TWOIAF|The Free Cities: The Quarrelsome Daughters: Myr, Lys, and Tyrosh}}

===After the Doom===
Some [[dragonlords]] in Tyrosh survived the [[Doom of Valyria]], but the citizens killed the [[dragon]]s and their [[dragonriders]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|Ancient History: The Doom of Valyria}} During the [[Century of Blood]], the Free City of [[Volantis]] thought to add Tyrosh to her conquests, after they had conquered [[Myr]] and [[Lys]]. Their attempt to take Tyrosh, however, made their empire collapse. [[Pentos]] came to the aid of the Tyroshi, as well as two [[Westeros]]i, the [[Storm King]] [[Argilac Durrandon]] of [[Storm's End]] and [[Aegon I Targaryen|Aegon Targaryen]] of [[Dragonstone]]. [[Lys]] and [[Myr]] both rose in rebellion against Volantis.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Ancient History: The Doom of Valyria}}{{ref|TWOIAF|The Free Cities: The Quarrelsome Daughters: Myr, Lys, and Tyrosh}}

After the flight of Dowager Queen [[Alyssa Velaryon]] from [[Dragonstone]] in {{Date|44}}, Tyrosh was one of the places where she was rumored to have gone into hiding with her youngest two children.{{Ref|fab|The Sons of the Dragon}} The Archon of Tyrosh traveled to the Seven Kingdoms in {{Date|49}} for the [[Golden Wedding]] of [[Rogar Baratheon]] and Alyssa Velaryon, accompanied by his maiden daughter. When it was later suggested that King [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen]] should take the Archon's daughter as his bride, Alyssa argued against the match, fearing the Westerosi would never accept a foreign queen.{{Ref|Fab|The Year of the Three Brides - 49 AC}} In {{Date|50}} Ser [[Orryn Baratheon]] took service with the [[Archon of Tyrosh]] and wed his daughter a year later.{{ref|FAB|A Time of Testing - The Realm Remade}} Tyrosh and [[Pentos]] began a war in {{date|55}} which significantly disrupted trade in the narrow sea. In {{date|58}} both sides requested that King [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen]] to act as a mediator in negotiations to end the dispute. The [[Prince of Pentos]] and the Archon traveled to [[King's Landing]] to conduct negotiations in person, and they eventually agreed upon "A Treaty of Eternal Peace".{{ref|FAB|Jaehaerys and Alysanne - Their Triumphs and Tragedies}}

[[Elissa Farman]] visited Tyrosh while sailing ''[[Sun Chaser]]'' from [[Braavos]] to [[Oldtown]].{{ref|FAB|Jaehaerys and Alysanne - Their Triumphs and Tragedies}}

===The Triarchy and the Daughters' War===
After the defeat of [[Volantis]] in the [[Battle of the Borderland]], Tyrosh formed the Triarchy with [[Lys]] and [[Myr]] in {{date|96}}. The Triarchy, also known as the Kingdom of the Three Daughters, fought with Prince [[Daemon Targaryen]] over the [[Stepstones]] in {{date|106}}.{{ref|FAB|Heirs of the Dragon - A Question of Succession}} [[Racallio Ryndoon]] of Tyrosh led an invasion fleet against Daemon's island kingdom in {{Date|110}}.{{ref|FAB|Heirs of the Dragon - A Question of Succession}}

During the [[Dance of the Dragons]], the [[High Council of the Triarchy]] met in Tyrosh and accepted Ser [[Tyland Lannister]]'s offer of alliance with the [[greens]]. A Tyroshi captain captured Prince [[Viserys II Targaryen|Viserys Targaryen]] before the [[Battle of the Gullet]], but the captive was claimed by the Triarchy's admiral, [[Sharako Lohar]] of Lys. Since most of the Triarchy's casualties during the battle were from Myrish and Tyrosh ships, the widows of those cities blamed Sharako for protecting his own Lysene ships.{{ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - The Red Dragon and the Gold}}

The [[Daughters' War]] broke out after the murder of Sharako. Although the admiral was killed in a personal dispute over the [[Johanna Swann|Black Swan]], it was rumored that he had been assassinated by Myr. Tyrosh claimed the Stepstones when Lys and Myr began fighting. Racallio claimed the Stepstones for himself as [[King of the Narrow Sea]], however. With the Dance ended, Ser [[Oscar Tully]] led the [[Stormbreakers]] to Tyrosh and the [[Disputed Lands]].{{ref|FAB|Under the Regents - The Hooded Hand}}

Lys and Myr made peace and began attacking Tyrosh, forcing the Archon to recall his men from the Stepstones.{{ref|FAB|Under the Regents - The Hooded Hand}} Tyrosh allied with Racallio and [[Braavos]] to jointly rule the Stepstones, but the alliance collapsed after [[Lord Alyn's attack]].{{ref|FAB|Under the Regents - War and Peace and Cattle Shows}} In the aftermath of the battle, [[Bloodstone]] and the southern Stepstones were held by Racallio, while [[Pentos]]hi sellswords hired by the Archon controlled the northern and eastern islands. When Racallio accused Lord [[Alyn Velaryon]] of being a Tyroshi spy, Alyn Oakenfist was forced to kill three Tyroshi prisoners at Bloodstone to prove his innocence.{{ref|FAB|Under the Regents - The Voyage of Alyn Oakenfist}}

[[Dorne]] eventually joined the war on the side of Tyrosh and Lys against Racallio.{{ref|FAB|Under the Regents - The Voyage of Alyn Oakenfist}} When the Daughters' War ended, Tyrosh gained much of the Disputed Lands.{{ref|FAB|The Lysene Spring and the End of Regency}} Tyroshi ships frequented [[King's Landing]] during the [[Lysene Spring]]. During the fall of the [[Rogare Bank]], [[Moredo Rogare]] fled the [[Vale of Arryn]] for Braavos. After negotiating with the [[Iron Bank of Braavos|Iron Bank]], Moredo sailed for Tyrosh and hired mercenaries for an attack on Lys.{{ref|FAB|The Lysene Spring and the End of Regency}} In {{date|136}} Lord Velaryon gathered a fleet of merchantmen for a voyage to Tyrosh and other Free Cities.{{ref|FAB|The Lysene Spring and the End of Regency}}

===Targaryen and Blackfyre Involvement===
King [[Aegon IV Targaryen]] arranged the betrothal of his bastard son, [[Daemon I Blackfyre|Daemon Blackfyre]], with [[Rohanne of Tyrosh]]. Aegon died before the marriage could take place, so his successor, King [[Daeron II Targaryen]], paid the [[dowry]] to the [[Archon of Tyrosh]] and saw Daemon and Rohanne wed.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Daeron II}} Daemon and Rohanne had seven sons (including [[Aegon Blackfyre|Aegon]], [[Aemon Blackfyre|Aemon]], [[Daemon II Blackfyre|Daemon]], [[Haegon I Blackfyre|Haegon]] and [[Aenys Blackfyre|Aenys]]), and at least two daughters.{{Ref|TSS}}{{Ref|TMK}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Maekar I}}

After the [[First Blackfyre Rebellion]] led to the defeat and death of Daemon and his eldest two sons, Aegon and Aemon, Daemon's half-brother [[Aegor Rivers]] gathered Daemon's surviving sons, daughters, and wife and fled to Tyrosh, where they remained for years.{{Ref|TMK}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys I}} Haegon was eventually crowned in Tyrosh as a rival to [[Aerys I Targaryen]], the king on the [[Iron Throne]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys I}}

[[Kiera of Tyrosh]] married Prince [[Valarr Targaryen]] in [[Westeros]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Targaryen Lineage}} with whom she had several stillborn sons.{{Ref|TMK}} Valarr died in {{Date|209}}, and Kiera eventually remarried, this time to Prince [[Daeron Targaryen (son of Maekar I)|Daeron Targaryen]], Valarr's cousin.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Targaryen Lineage}} Both Valarr and Daeron had been directly in line for the [[Iron Throne]] at the time of their marriages, respectively, as their fathers were crown princes at the time. With Daeron, Kiera had one child, Princess [[Vaella Targaryen (daughter of Daeron)|Vaella]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Maekar I}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Targaryen Lineage}}

===War of the Ninepenny Kings===
The [[Band of Nine]], a group of [[sellsword]]s, [[pirate]]s, and merchants who had conquered the [[Disputed Lands]], sacked Tyrosh and continued on to the [[Stepstones]]. The wealthy merchant [[Alequo Adarys]] was placed in charge of Tyrosh, replacing the Archon. While the Band of Nine was defeated in the [[War of the Ninepenny Kings]] in late {{Date|260}}, and the fighting against the Band of Nine in the Stepstones and the Disputed Lands lasted only another half year, Alequo remained in charge of Tyrosh for another six years. In the end, he was poisoned by his queen, and the Archon was restored.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Jaehaerys II}}

===Recent History===
[[Brandon Stark]] was strangled with a Tyroshi device when King [[Aerys II Targaryen]] executed his father, Lord [[Rickard Stark]].{{ref|ACOK|55}} When [[Daenerys Targaryen]] was a girl, she and her brother [[Viserys Targaryen|Viserys]] spent some time in Tyrosh when they were wandering from place to place.{{Ref|AGOT|3}} She thus speaks [[High Valyrian]] with a Tyroshi accent.{{ref|AGOT|54}}

Rather than face Lord [[Eddard Stark]] for having sold poachers to a Tyroshi [[slaver]], Lord [[Jorah Mormont]] fled [[Bear Island]] for the [[Free Cities]].{{ref|AGOT|12}}

[[Doran Martell]], the [[Prince of Dorne]], had planned to send his daughter, Princess [[Arianne Martell|Arianne]], to Tyrosh to serve as the cupbearer of the archon, so she could secretly meet the exiled Viserys Targaryen, to whom she had been secretly betrothed. When his wife, Lady [[Mellario]] of [[Norvos]], threatened to kill herself if Arianne was sent away, Doran kept his daughter in [[Dorne]]. The daughter of the Archon of Tyrosh, however, spent some years in the [[Water Gardens]] of [[House Martell]].{{Ref|AFFC|40}}

According to legend, the founder of [[House Dayne]] tracked a falling star to an island at the mouth of the [[Torentine]].

[[House Dayne]]'s sword Dawn may have been inspired by several fictional swords:

* The [[w:Ebony Blade|Ebony Blade]], a sword carved from a fallen meteor and wielded by [[w:Black Knight (Dane Whitman)|Dane Whitman]], a comic book superhero known as the Black Knight. [[George R.

Maesters

Somnium Draconis: /* Behind the scenes */

{{Redirect|Maester|the mule|Maester (mule)}}

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Grand Maester wears many interwoven maester chains to indicate his high office. Gems are woven into the chains.{{Ref|AGoT|20}}

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

*[[copper]],{{Ref|AGOT|41}}{{Ref|AFfC|0}}{{Ref|AGOT|20}}{{Ref|AFFC|Appendix}} signifying history{{Refn|group="N"|Based on Archmaester [[Perestan]] being called "the historian".{{Ref|AFfC|Appendix}} (Archmaester [[Ollidar]] having bronze ring, rod and mask and being described as "keeper of histories" is presumably a mistake).{{Ref|FaB|3}}}}

}}

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

===''A Feast for Crows''===
At the [[Citadel]], the novice [[Pate (novice)|Pate]] steals a black key which supposedly opens every door in the Citadel. He trades the key with the [[Alchemist]] for a [[Currency|golden dragon]]. However, the Alchemist kills him,{{Ref|AFFC|0}} and assumes Pate's appearance and identity.{{Ref|AFFC|45}}

[[Jon Snow]], the [[Lord Commander of the Night's Watch]], sends his sworn brother [[Samwell Tarly]] to [[Oldtown]] to train at the Citadel and become a maester. [[Aemon Targaryen (son of Maekar I)|Aemon]], the maester of [[Castle Black]], is send with Samwell, but following a long period of illness dies, shortly before they reach Oldtown.{{Ref|AFFC|5}}{{Ref|AFFC|35}} After hearing Aemon's interpretation of [[prince that was promised|a prophecy]], Archmaester [[Marwyn]] decides to travel to [[Slaver's Bay]] to reach [[Daenerys Targaryen]].{{Ref|AFFC|45}}

Lady [[Barbrey Dustin]] expresses her distrust of maesters to [[Theon Greyjoy]], and refers to them as "grey rats".{{Ref|ADWD|37}}

Following the fall of Cersei, Grand Maester Pycelle successfully seizes control of King [[Tommen Baratheon|Tommen I Baratheon]] and the [[small council]]. He offers Ser [[Kevan Lannister]] the [[regency]]. Together, they attempt to restore the damage done by Cersei and to mend the Lannister-Tyrell alliance that supports Tommen's hold on the Iron Throne. When he sees they are going to succeed, Varys, the former [[master of whisperers]], assassinates both Pycelle and Kevan.{{Ref|ADWD|Epilogue}}

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

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

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

{{Quote|All the world knew that a maester forged his [[silver]] link when he learned the art of healing—but the world preferred to forget that men who knew how to heal also [[poison|knew how to kill]].{{ref|ACOK|Prologue}}|thoughts of [[Cressen]]}}

{{Quote|He had no love of maesters. Their [[raven]]s were creatures of the [[Storm God]], and he did not trust their healing, not since [[Urrigon Greyjoy|Urri]]. No proper man would choose a life of [[thrall]]dom, nor forge a chain of servitude to wear about his throat.{{Ref|AFFC|1}}|thoughts of [[Aeron Greyjoy]]}}

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

==Behind the scenes==
In early drafts of ''[[A Clash of Kings]]'' and ''[[A Feast for Crows]]'', additional metals used to forge the chains of the maesters are mentioned, including dark bronze, [[w:White bronze|bright/white bronze]], [[w:White gold|white gold]], [[w:Niello|niello]], and "the queer milky metal that the [[Citadel]] called starfall silver". Like the [[Valyrian steel]], starfall silver (or "starsilver") is associated to the study of the [[higher mysteries]].<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/asoiaf/comments/1vumb8r/spoilers_extended_secrets_of_the_cushing_library/ (Spoilers Extended) Secrets of the Cushing Library: Starsilver and the Wound] - Common_Cricket on Reddit</ref>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Grand Maester wears many interwoven maester chains to indicate his high office. Gems are woven into the chains.{{Ref|AGoT|20}}

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

{{Columns|2|
*black [[iron]],{{Ref|AGOT|20}} signifying [[raven]]ry{{Ref|ACOK|28}}{{Ref|AFfC|0}}
*[[brass]]{{Ref|AGOT|20}}
*[[bronze]],{{Ref|AGOT|41}}{{Ref|AGOT|20}} signifying [[astronomy]] or astrology{{Refn|group="N"|Based on Archmaester [[Vaellyn]]'s "subject to judge" being "the heavens"{{Ref|AFfC|0}} and him being described as "the stargazer"{{Ref|AFfC|Appendix}} (Archmaester [[Ollidar]] having bronze ring, rod and mask and being described as "keeper of histories" is presumably a mistake).{{Ref|FaB|3}}}}
*[[copper]],{{Ref|AGOT|41}}{{Ref|AFfC|0}}{{Ref|AGOT|20}}{{Ref|AFFC|Appendix}} signifying history{{Refn|group="N"|Based on Archmaester [[Perestan]] being called "the historian".{{Ref|AFfC|Appendix}} (Archmaester [[Ollidar]] having bronze ring, rod and mask and being described as "keeper of histories" is presumably a mistake).{{Ref|FaB|3}}}}

}}

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

{{Quote|All the world knew that a maester forged his [[silver]] link when he learned the art of healing—but the world preferred to forget that men who knew how to heal also [[poison|knew how to kill]].{{ref|ACOK|Prologue}}|thoughts of [[Cressen]]}}

{{Quote|He had no love of maesters. Their [[raven]]s were creatures of the [[Storm God]], and he did not trust their healing, not since [[Urrigon Greyjoy|Urri]]. No proper man would choose a life of [[thrall]]dom, nor forge a chain of servitude to wear about his throat.{{Ref|AFFC|1}}|thoughts of [[Aeron Greyjoy]]}}

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

'''Asshai''' is a mysterious port city in the far southeast of the known part of [[Essos]], where the [[Ash (river)|Ash river]] meets the [[Jade Sea]] at its eastern exit, the [[Saffron Straits]].{{Ref|TLOIAF|The East}} Asshai is on the southernmost edge of a mountainous peninsula known as the [[Shadow Lands]], thus the city is often called '''Asshai by the Shadow'''{{Ref|AGOT|72}}{{Ref|ADWD|1}}{{Ref|TMK}} or '''Asshai-by-the-Shadow'''.{{Ref|TWOIAF|8|4|4}} To go to Asshai can be described as to "pass beneath the shadow",{{Ref|ACOK|40}} and the area of the Shadow Lands and Asshai are sometimes referred to simply as '''the Shadow'''.

==City==
===Layout===
Asshai sprawls for leagues across both sides of the [[Ash (river)|Ash]], and its great walls allegedly could contain [[Volantis]], [[Qarth]], [[King's Landing]], and [[Oldtown]] combined. The population of Asshai, however, is no more than that of a good-sized market town. By night only one building in ten shows a light.{{Ref|TWOIAF|8|4|4}}

The buildings, streets, and walls of Asshai are made out of [[black stone]] that is greasy to the touch and seems to drink the light, making the city appear to be a dark and gloomy place. Structures include bazaars, halls, hovels, palaces, and temples.{{Ref|TWOIAF|8|4|4}}

===Trade===
Asshai is a popular trading destination for ships.{{Ref|TWOIAF|8|4|4}} According to a semi-canon source, it is not as important to traders as [[Yi Ti]] and [[Leng]], which are more easily reached from [[Qarth]].<ref>[[Not A Blog]]: Maps! Maps!! Maps!!!, [https://grrm.livejournal.com/297016.html?thread=16806456#t16806456 Comment Thread] (November 1, 2012).</ref> Asshai exports goods such as [[amber]] and [[dragonglass]].{{Ref|ACOK|40}} [[Gold]] and gems are also common exports, though some say the gold of the [[Shadow Lands]] is as unhealthy as the fruits that grow there.{{Ref|TWOIAF|8|4|4}} The city is usually traveled to by ship, but it can also be reached overland by caravans.{{Ref|AGOT|36}}

Trading ships from [[Westeros]] and the [[Free Cities]] bound for Asshai go east through the [[Summer Sea]] and the [[Jade Sea]], which are connected by the straits at Qarth, the [[Jade Gates]].{{Ref|SSM|1122}} Caravans from Asshai traverse the [[Bone Mountains]] to reach [[Vaes Dothrak]].{{Ref|AGOT|36}}

Aside from traders, few from Westeros visit Asshai and little is known about it. The famous scribe and traveler [[Lomas Longstrider]] never visited Asshai,{{Ref|TWOIAF|8|4|4}} though he apparently heard from merchants in Yi Ti who did trade with Asshai that the vast gold of [[Casterly Rock]] was famous even there.{{Ref|TWOIAF|7|6}}

All foodstuff and freshwater is brought in by ship, as animals brought into the city soon die, and the waters of the [[Ash (river)|Ash]] glisten black beneath the noonday sun and glimmer with green phosphorescence by night. The only fish that dwell in its water are blind and deformed, and only fools and [[shadowbinder]]s dare eat their flesh.{{Ref|TWOIAF|8|4|4}}

===People===
[[File:John Picacio Melisandre of Asshai.jpg|thumb|300px|[[Melisandre]] is from Asshai, by John Picacio ©]]
Asshai and its few people have an ominous reputation in other lands. Asshai'i are described as having a dark and solemn appearance.{{Ref|AGOT|54}} The [[Dothraki]] believe that Asshai'i are "spawn of shadows" and hold them in contempt and fear.{{Ref|ACOK|40}}

There are no children in Asshai. All who dwell there wear masks or veils, and often walk alone or ride in [[palanquin]]s of [[ebony]] and [[iron]], hidden behind dark curtains and carried upon the backs of slaves. Only the [[shadowbinder]]s of Asshai dare to travel up the [[Ash (river)|Ash]], and even they fear to tread before the doors of the [[Stygai]], the corpse city northeast of Asshai.{{Ref|TWOIAF|8|4|4}}

[[Melisandre]] prays and sings in the [[tongue of Asshai]].{{Ref|ACOK|10}}

===Esoteric Knowledge===
Asshai holds a significant amount of arcane knowledge. Of any current location, it is the most likely to have [[dragonlore]].{{Ref|SSM|1085}} Ancient books of Asshai also record the [[Azor Ahai]] prophecy followed by members of the [[R'hllor]] faith.{{Ref|ACOK|10}}

It is rumored that [[spellsinger]]s, [[aeromancer]]s, and [[warlocks]] practice their arts openly in Asshai.{{Ref|AGOT|23}} Asshai is open to all sorts of practitioners of the "higher mysteries" such as [[Godswife|godswives]], [[alchemy|alchemists]], [[necromancer]]s, [[night-walker]]s, [[pyromancer]]s, [[bloodmage]]s, as well as inquisitors, [[torture]]rs and [[poison]]ers, and even worshippers of the [[Black Goat of Qohor|Black Goat]] and [[Bakkalon]] and the [[Lion of Night]]. No practice is forbidden in the city, however depraved.{{Ref|TWOIAF|8|4|4}}

==History==
The origins of Asshai are lost in history. Even the Asshai'i do not claim to know who built it, stating only a city stood there since the world began and will stand there until it ends.{{Ref|TWOIAF|8|4|4}} [[Maesters]] find it difficult to discern the truth about legendary Asshai.{{Ref|TWOIAF|2|5}}

Texts from Asshai speak of the [[Dawn Age]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|2|1}} Annals from the city tell of [[Azor Ahai]] during the [[Long Night]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|2|4}} and ancient books claim he will come again.{{Ref|ACOK|10}} Texts also claim that [[dragon]]s first appeared in the Shadow.{{Ref|TWOIAF|2|5}}

Asshai has been a thriving port for centuries.{{Ref|TWOIAF|8|4|4}} Before the [[Century of Blood]], merchants from the [[Kingdom of Sarnor]] traded at Asshai.{{Ref|TWOIAF|8|3|5}}

[[Jar Han]], one of the sea-green [[god-emperor]]s of [[Yi Ti]], extracted tribute from Asshai during his reign.{{Ref|TWOIAF|8|4|1}}

On the second of his nine [[great voyages]] on ''[[Sea Snake]]'', [[Corlys Velaryon]] sailed to Asshai, becoming the first [[Westeros]]i to visit the city. Tales claim that Corlys lost his love and half his crew there, and he claimed to have seen the ''[[Sun Chaser]]'' of [[Elissa Farman]] in the harbor of Asshai.{{Ref|FAB|11}}

King [[Aegon V Targaryen]] commissioned journeys in search of [[dragonlore]] from distant places, including Asshai.{{Ref|TWOIAF|4|15}}

[[Mirri Maz Duur]] studied in Asshai, learning from a [[moonsinger]] of the [[Jogos Nhai]], a [[Dothraki]] woman, Maester [[Marwyn]],{{Ref|AGOT|61}} and a [[bloodmage]] [[Shadow Men|from]] the [[Shadow Lands]].{{Ref|AGOT|64}}

When a wrecked trading [[ship|cog]] washed up on the [[Frozen Shore]], a woman of the [[free folk]] found scarlet silk from Asshai in the wreckage. [[wisewoman's daughter|Her granddaughter]] later used the silk to mend the cloak of [[Mance Rayder]].{{Ref|ASOS|7}}

'''Asshai''' is a mysterious port city in the far southeast of the known part of [[Essos]], where the [[Ash (river)|Ash river]] meets the [[Jade Sea]] at its eastern exit, the [[Saffron Straits]].{{Ref|TLOIAF|The East}} Asshai is on the southernmost edge of a mountainous peninsula known as the [[Shadow Lands]], thus the city is often called '''Asshai by the Shadow'''{{Ref|AGOT|72}}{{Ref|ADWD|1}}{{Ref|TMK}} or '''Asshai-by-the-Shadow'''.{{Ref|TWOIAF|8|4|4}} To go to Asshai can be described as to "pass beneath the shadow",{{Ref|ACOK|40}} and the area of the Shadow Lands and Asshai are sometimes referred to simply as '''the Shadow'''.

==City==
===Layout===
Asshai sprawls for leagues across both sides of the [[Ash (river)|Ash]], and its great walls allegedly could contain [[Volantis]], [[Qarth]], [[King's Landing]], and [[Oldtown]] combined. The population of Asshai, however, is no more than that of a good-sized market town. By night only one building in ten shows a light.{{Ref|TWOIAF|8|4|4}}

The buildings, streets, and walls of Asshai are made out of [[black stone]] that is greasy to the touch and seems to drink the light, making the city appear to be a dark and gloomy place. Structures include bazaars, halls, hovels, palaces, and temples.{{Ref|TWOIAF|8|4|4}}

===Trade===
Asshai is a popular trading destination for ships.{{Ref|TWOIAF|8|4|4}} According to a semi-canon source, it is not as important to traders as [[Yi Ti]] and [[Leng]], which are more easily reached from [[Qarth]].<ref>[[Not A Blog]]: Maps! Maps!! Maps!!!, [https://grrm.livejournal.com/297016.html?thread=16806456#t16806456 Comment Thread] (November 1, 2012).</ref> Asshai exports goods such as [[amber]] and [[dragonglass]].{{Ref|ACOK|40}} [[Gold]] and gems are also common exports, though some say the gold of the [[Shadow Lands]] is as unhealthy as the fruits that grow there.{{Ref|TWOIAF|8|4|4}} The city is usually traveled to by ship, but it can also be reached overland by caravans.{{Ref|AGOT|36}}

Trading ships from [[Westeros]] and the [[Free Cities]] bound for Asshai go east through the [[Summer Sea]] and the [[Jade Sea]], which are connected by the straits at Qarth, the [[Jade Gates]].{{Ref|SSM|1122}} Caravans from Asshai traverse the [[Bone Mountains]] to reach [[Vaes Dothrak]].{{Ref|AGOT|36}}

Aside from traders, few from Westeros visit Asshai and little is known about it. The famous scribe and traveler [[Lomas Longstrider]] never visited Asshai,{{Ref|TWOIAF|8|4|4}} though he apparently heard from merchants in Yi Ti who did trade with Asshai that the vast gold of [[Casterly Rock]] was famous even there.{{Ref|TWOIAF|7|6}}

All foodstuff and freshwater is brought in by ship, as animals brought into the city soon die, and the waters of the [[Ash (river)|Ash]] glisten black beneath the noonday sun and glimmer with green phosphorescence by night. The only fish that dwell in its water are blind and deformed, and only fools and [[shadowbinder]]s dare eat their flesh.{{Ref|TWOIAF|8|4|4}}

===People===
[[File:John Picacio Melisandre of Asshai.jpg|thumb|300px|[[Melisandre]] is from Asshai, by John Picacio ©]]
Asshai and its few people have an ominous reputation in other lands. Asshai'i are described as having a dark and solemn appearance.{{Ref|AGOT|54}} The [[Dothraki]] believe that Asshai'i are "spawn of shadows" and hold them in contempt and fear.{{Ref|ACOK|40}}

There are no children in Asshai. All who dwell there wear masks or veils, and often walk alone or ride in [[palanquin]]s of [[ebony]] and [[iron]], hidden behind dark curtains and carried upon the backs of slaves. Only the [[shadowbinder]]s of Asshai dare to travel up the [[Ash (river)|Ash]], and even they fear to tread before the doors of the [[Stygai]], the corpse city northeast of Asshai.{{Ref|TWOIAF|8|4|4}}

[[Melisandre]] prays and sings in the [[tongue of Asshai]].{{Ref|ACOK|10}}

===Esoteric Knowledge===
Asshai holds a significant amount of arcane knowledge. Of any current location, it is the most likely to have [[dragonlore]].{{Ref|SSM|1085}} Ancient books of Asshai also record the [[Azor Ahai]] prophecy followed by members of the [[R'hllor]] faith.{{Ref|ACOK|10}}

It is rumored that [[spellsinger]]s, [[aeromancer]]s, and [[warlocks]] practice their arts openly in Asshai.{{Ref|AGOT|23}} Asshai is open to all sorts of practitioners of the "higher mysteries" such as [[Godswife|godswives]], [[alchemy|alchemists]], [[necromancer]]s, [[night-walker]]s, [[pyromancer]]s, [[bloodmage]]s, as well as inquisitors, [[torture]]rs and [[poison]]ers, and even worshippers of the [[Black Goat of Qohor|Black Goat]] and [[Bakkalon]] and the [[Lion of Night]]. No practice is forbidden in the city, however depraved.{{Ref|TWOIAF|8|4|4}}

==History==
The origins of Asshai are lost in history. Even the Asshai'i do not claim to know who built it, stating only a city stood there since the world began and will stand there until it ends.{{Ref|TWOIAF|8|4|4}} [[Maesters]] find it difficult to discern the truth about legendary Asshai.{{Ref|TWOIAF|2|5}}

Texts from Asshai speak of the [[Dawn Age]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|2|1}} Annals from the city tell of [[Azor Ahai]] during the [[Long Night]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|2|4}} and ancient books claim he will come again.{{Ref|ACOK|10}} Texts also claim that [[dragon]]s first appeared in the Shadow.{{Ref|TWOIAF|2|5}}

Asshai has been a thriving port for centuries.{{Ref|TWOIAF|8|4|4}} Before the [[Century of Blood]], merchants from the [[Kingdom of Sarnor]] traded at Asshai.{{Ref|TWOIAF|8|3|5}}

[[Jar Han]], one of the sea-green [[god-emperor]]s of [[Yi Ti]], extracted tribute from Asshai during his reign.{{Ref|TWOIAF|8|4|1}}

On the second of his nine [[great voyages]] on ''[[Sea Snake]]'', [[Corlys Velaryon]] sailed to Asshai, becoming the first [[Westeros]]i to visit the city. Tales claim that Corlys lost his love and half his crew there, and he claimed to have seen the ''[[Sun Chaser]]'' of [[Elissa Farman]] in the harbor of Asshai.{{Ref|FAB|11}}

King [[Aegon V Targaryen]] commissioned journeys in search of [[dragonlore]] from distant places, including Asshai.{{Ref|TWOIAF|4|15}}

[[Mirri Maz Duur]] studied in Asshai, learning from a [[moonsinger]] of the [[Jogos Nhai]], a [[Dothraki]] woman, Maester [[Marwyn]],{{Ref|AGOT|61}} and a [[bloodmage]] [[Shadow Men|from]] the [[Shadow Lands]].{{Ref|AGOT|64}}

When a wrecked trading [[ship|cog]] washed up on the [[Frozen Shore]], a woman of the [[free folk]] found scarlet silk from Asshai in the wreckage. [[wisewoman's daughter|Her granddaughter]] later used the silk to mend the cloak of [[Mance Rayder]].{{Ref|ASOS|7}}

Somnium Draconis: /* Behind the scenes */

{{For|other uses|Shadow}}
The '''Shadow Lands''',{{Ref|AGOT|11}} also called the '''Shadow''',{{Ref|ACOK|12}} is a mountainous area in the [[Further East|far east]] of [[Essos]].

==Geography==
The city of [[Asshai]] is located at the southwestern tip of the Shadow Lands. To the north and northeast, the Shadow Lands meet the [[Mountains of the Morn]]. [[Leng]] and the [[Manticore Isles]] lie in the [[Jade Sea]] to the west. South of the Shadow are the [[Saffron Straits]], [[Ulos]], and [[Ulthos]].{{Ref|TLOIAF|The East}} The river [[Ash (river)|Ash]] travels from the Mountains of the Morn to the Jade Sea, mostly through the [[Vale of Shadows]], a valley so narrow with such high cliffs that is said to be always in shadow except at noon.{{Ref|TWOIAF|8|4|4}}{{Ref|AWOIAF|Stygai}}

[[Ghost grass]] grows throughout the Shadow Lands.{{Ref|AGOT|11}} It is said that demons and [[dragon]]s are among the creatures dwelling in cliff caves in the mountains. The ruined corpse city of [[Stygai]], which even [[shadowbinder]]s fear, lies at the heart of the Shadow.{{Ref|TWOIAF|8|4|4}} The fruits, [[gold]], and gems found beyond Asshai are said to be unhealthy in their own ways.{{Ref|TWOIAF|8|4|4}}

==Populace==

==Geography==
The city of [[Asshai]] is located at the southwestern tip of the Shadow Lands. To the north and northeast, the Shadow Lands meet the [[Mountains of the Morn]]. [[Leng]] and the [[Manticore Isles]] lie in the [[Jade Sea]] to the west. South of the Shadow are the [[Saffron Straits]], [[Ulos]], and [[Ulthos]].{{Ref|TLOIAF|The East}} The river [[Ash (river)|Ash]] travels from the Mountains of the Morn to the Jade Sea, mostly through the [[Vale of Shadows]], a valley so narrow with such high cliffs that is said to be always in shadow except at noon.{{Ref|TWOIAF|8|4|4}}{{Ref|AWOIAF|Stygai}}

[[Ghost grass]] grows throughout the Shadow Lands.{{Ref|AGOT|11}} It is said that demons and [[dragon]]s are among the creatures dwelling in cliff caves in the mountains. The ruined corpse city of [[Stygai]], which even [[shadowbinder]]s fear, lies at the heart of the Shadow.{{Ref|TWOIAF|8|4|4}} The fruits, [[gold]], and gems found beyond Asshai are said to be unhealthy in their own ways.{{Ref|TWOIAF|8|4|4}}

{{Quote|Down in the Shadow Lands beyond [[Asshai]], they say there are oceans of [[ghost grass]], taller than a man on horseback with stalks as pale as milkglass.{{ref|AGOT|23}}|[[Jorah Mormont]] to [[Daenerys Targaryen]]}}

{{Quote|'''Euron''': Only one [[House Greyjoy|living kraken]] has never known defeat. Only one has never bent his knee. Only one has sailed to [[Asshai]] by the Shadow, and seen wonders and terrors beyond imagining ...

In an early draft of ''[[A Game of Thrones]]'', the region of [[Asshai]] and the Shadow Lands is named the Wound, and it's described as a "smoking desolation".<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/asoiaf/comments/1vumb8r/spoilers_extended_secrets_of_the_cushing_library/ (Spoilers Extended) Secrets of the Cushing Library: Starsilver and the Wound] - Common_Cricket on Reddit</ref>

Duel between Brandon Stark and Petyr Baelish

{{conjecture}}
[[File:Dejan Delic Brandon Stark.jpg|thumb|[[Brandon Stark]] by Dejan Delic ©]]
A '''duel between Brandon Stark and Petyr Baelish''' took place at [[Riverrun]] in {{date|282}}

==Prelude==
In {{Date|276}} or {{Date|277}}, when she was twelve years old, [[Catelyn Stark|Catelyn Tully]] was betrothed to [[Brandon Stark]], the heir to [[Winterfell]],{{Ref|AGOT|6}}{{Ref|AWOIAF|Catelyn Tully}} and thanked her father, [[Hoster Tully]], [[Lord of Riverrun]], for making such a splendid match for her.{{Ref|ACOK|45}} [[Petyr Baelish]], Hoster's [[ward]], was less pleased, however. While Catelyn had come to regard Petyr as a brother,{{Ref|AGOT|18}}{{Ref|ACOK|55}} Petyr had fallen in love with Catelyn.{{Ref|AGOT|29}}

When the date of Catelyn's wedding was announced in {{Date|282}},<ref>''See the [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Events#Riverlands|Petyr Baelish's duel against Brandon Stark]]''</ref> the fifteen-year-old Petyr challenged the twenty-year-old Brandon to a duel for her hand.{{ref|AGOT|18}}

==Duel==
Catelyn refused to give Petyr her favor when he asked, choosing instead to give Brandon a pale blue handscarf embroidered with the leaping [[trout]] of [[House Tully]].{{ref|AGOT|40}} She begged the older Brandon not to kill the much smaller Petyr, to which her betrothed agreed.{{ref|AGOT|40}} Petyr wore only helm, breastplate, and mail, so Brandon removed most of his own armor.{{ref|AGOT|40}} Catelyn's younger brother, [[Edmure Tully]], served as Brandon's squire.{{ref|AGOT|40}}

Brandon dominated the ensuing duel, which began in the lower bailey of [[Riverrun]] and proceeded down the water stair. Brandon asked Petyr to yield more than once, but he refused, despite bleeding from a dozen wounds. Petyr eventually fell into the water when Brandon's backhand cut through Petyr's armor below the ribs; Petyr whispered "Cat" with blood flowing through his fingers.{{ref|AGOT|40}}

==Aftermath==
Although Catelyn thought Petyr would die from his wound,{{ref|AGOT|40}} the youth survived with a scar.{{ref|AGOT|18}} A fortnight passed before Petyr was strong enough to leave Riverrun, but Lord Hoster forbade Catelyn from visiting him in the tower where he lay abed.{{ref|AGOT|40}} Catelyn's younger sister, [[Lysa Arryn|Lysa Tully]], helped Maester [[Kym]] nurse Petyr during his recovery.{{ref|AGOT|40}} Edmure tried to visit Petyr in the [[sickroom]], but was turned away because Petyr could not forgive him having served as Brandon's squire.{{ref|AGOT|40}} Catelyn did not say her farewells to Petyr when Hoster sent him in a closed litter back to the [[Fingers]].{{ref|AGOT|40}}{{ref|ACOK|45}} Brandon left Riverrun as well, promising Catelyn to return soon for their wedding.{{Ref|AGOT|63}}

Unbeknownst to Catelyn, Lysa and Petyr had slept together during his infirmary.{{Ref|AWOIAF|Petyr Baelish}} After Petyr was sent back to the [[Vale of Arryn]], Lysa revealed her pregnancy to her father, hoping that Hoster would relent and let her wed Petyr. Hoster, who had always felt Petyr was too lowborn,{{Ref|ASOS|68}} instead forced Lysa to abort the child with [[moon tea]] provided by Maester Kym.{{Ref|ASOS|80}}{{Ref|AWOIAF|Petyr Baelish}} Lysa nearly died from this.{{Ref|AWOIAF|Lysa Tully}}

Brandon and his father, Lord [[Rickard Stark]], were eventually executed by King [[Aerys II Targaryen]].{{ref|ACOK|55}} Petyr sent Catelyn a letter after Brandon's death, but she burned it unread.{{ref|AGOT|18}} In order to gain Lord Hoster for the rebels during [[Robert's Rebellion]], Brandon's younger brother, Lord [[Eddard Stark]], and Lord [[Jon Arryn]] agreed to marry Hoster's daughters, Catelyn and Lysa.{{Ref|ASOS|2}} Because Lysa was proven fertile, Jon hoped to secure a new heir for the failing [[House Arryn|Arryn line]], and so he and Eddard married the Tully sisters in a [[Weddings of Catelyn and Lysa Tully|dual ceremony at Riverrun]].{{Ref|ASOS|2}}

Petyr would dream about Winterfell, always imagining it as a dark and cold place.{{Ref|ASOS|80}}
