Ser Richard Lonmouth was a knight from House Lonmouth.[3]
History
Richard followed Myles Mooton in squiring for Rhaegar Targaryen, Prince of Dragonstone, and each man received his knighthood from Rhaegar when they were ready.[3] Richard and Ser Myles were close friends of Rhaegar and strong supporters of the prince at court, as were Lord Jon Connington, Prince Lewyn Martell, and Ser Arthur Dayne.[4]
Richard was present at the tourney at Harrenhal, where he played a drinking game with Robert Baratheon, Lord of Storm's End.[1] Halfway through the tourney, he and Robert each promised Rhaegar's father, King Aerys II Targaryen, they would find and discover the true identity of the Knight of the Laughing Tree.[1]
It is unknown if Richard chose to follow his liege lords, House Baratheon, during Robert's Rebellion, or if he stayed loyal to Prince Rhaegar and House Targaryen.
