Lorent Marbrand was a knight from House Marbrand, a member of the Kingsguard during the reign of King Viserys I Targaryen,[2] and a Lord Commander of the Queensguard of Rhaenyra Targaryen.[3]
In the television adaptation House of the Dragon, Lorent is portrayed by Max Wrottesley.
History
When the Dance of the Dragons began in 129 AC, Ser Lorent and Ser Erryk Cargyll were on Dragonstone. They chose to side with Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen and the blacks, joining her Queensguard under Lord Commander Ser Steffon Darklyn.[2]
Ser Steffon died during the Sowing of the Seeds,[4] and Queen Rhaenyra named Lorent the Lord Commander of the Queensguard after she ascended to the Iron Throne following the fall of King's Landing. Ser Lorent was tasked with finding six worthy knights to serve beside him in Rhaenyra's Queensguard.[3][N 1] After the Treasons of Tumbleton by the Two Betrayers, Lorent was among those who counseled Queen Rhaenyra to arrest the other two baseborn dragonriders, Ser Addam Velaryon and Nettles.[3]
Lorent died during the riot of King's Landing, leading a hundred knights and men-at-arms into Flea Bottom, of which only sixteen returned. According to Mushroom, Rhaenyra wept when she was told of the manner of Lorent's death. His body was retrieved by his sworn brother Ser Glendon Goode, to prevent the rioters from despoiling it. Ser Glendon succeeded Lorent as Lord Commander, but less than a day later, the young knight also died in the riot.[1]
Notes
- ↑ Only five out of the six knights chosen by Lorent have been revealed: Glendon Goode, Lyonel Bentley, Harrold Darke, Adrian Redfort, and Loreth Lansdale.
