Editing Regis Groves (section)

==History==
Ser Regis supported the [[blacks]] during the [[Dance of the Dragons]]. King [[Aegon III Targaryen]] appointed him and four other blacks to the [[Kingsguard]] in {{Date|131}} after the civil war ended.{{Ref|FAB|Under the Regents - The Hooded Hand}}

[[Harrenhal]] had fallen under the sway of an alleged "witch queen", [[Alys Rivers]], after the [[Battle Above the Gods Eye]] in {{Date|130}}. Since [[broken men]], [[outlaws]], and [[robber knight]]s preyed upon the countryside, Ser [[Tyland Lannister]], the [[Hand of the King]], tasked Regis with reclaiming Harrenhal in {{Date|132}}. Regis marched with half a hundred men to [[Castle Darry]], where he was joined by a like number under Ser [[Damon Darry]].{{Ref|FAB|Under the Regents - The Hooded Hand}}

When the king's men arrived at Harrenhal they found the gates barred and six hundred people within, a third of them warriors. Alys claimed to be the widow of Prince [[Aemond Targaryen]], who had died during the Dance, and that [[Alys Rivers's son|the young boy]] with her was her trueborn son by Aemond. Alys commanded Regis to kneel to her son and swear his sword to the rightful king, but Regis laughed at her and refused to do so. Some say the sorceress raised a hand and caused Regis's skull to burst, while others state Regis was killed by a crossbow bolt through his eye. The [[fool]] [[Mushroom]], who was not present, claims it was a lead ball from a sling. Alys's riders charged out through Harrenhal's gates and defeated the king's men in a bloody rout, with Damon leading the survivors back to Darry.{{Ref|FAB|Under the Regents - The Hooded Hand}}

Regis's death disturbed Tyland, and [[Regency of Aegon III|Aegon's regents]] agreed that a larger army should be gathered to reclaim Harrenhal.{{Ref|FAB|Under the Regents - The Hooded Hand}}
