History

In 48 AC, Lords Rickard Rowan and Torgen Oakheart supported Septon Moon and marched with him towards Oldtown. When Moon was assassinated, Lord Rickard decamped within the hour.[8] The following year, Lord Rickard attended the wedding of Rogar Baratheon and Alyssa Velaryon at King's Landing, where he met King Jaehaerys I, pronouncing him gentle and soft-spoken.[9]

In 73 AC, Lord Rowan was defeated by Prince Baelon Targaryen in a tourney at Old Oak.[10]

At the start of the Dance of the Dragons, Lord Thaddeus Rowan declared for the blacks, fighting in the battle on the Honeywine.[11] He later became a regent and Hand of the King during the regency of Aegon III Targaryen.[12]

In 211 AC, Ser Eustace Osgrey feared Lord Rowan would side with Lady Rohanne Webber over their quarrel due to his distant family ties to House Webber.[13]

In the early 230s AC, Lord Rowan arranged a betrothal for his daughter to Tion Lannister, the second son of the Lord of Casterly Rock, Gerold the Golden.[14]
