Appearance
[edit]History
[edit]In 281 AC, Lord Walter Whent hosted the great tourney at Harrenhal to celebrate his daughter's name day.[2] She was the reigning queen of love and beauty when the jousting began, and her title was defended by her four brothers and her famed uncle, Ser Oswell Whent of the Kingsguard of Aerys II Targaryen. The maid's brothers were all defeated on the first day, however.[1]
After five days of jousting,[1] Rhaegar Targaryen, Aerys's heir, ended up champion, and the Prince of Dragonstone shocked the attendees by giving the queen of beauty's laurel not to his own wife, Princess Elia Martell, but to Lyanna Stark, who was betrothed to Lord Robert Baratheon.[6]
