Editing Arlan of Pennytree (section)

==History==
Arlan was born in the village of [[Pennytree]] in the [[riverlands]]. When Arlan was a little boy, his grandfather took him to [[King's Landing]], where he saw the [[last dragon]]. The dragon died a year later.{{Ref|THK}}

In {{Date|193}}, Ser Arlan unhorsed Lord [[House Stokeworth|Stokeworth]] and the [[Bastard of Harrenhal]] in a [[melee]] at King's Landing. Years prior to that, he had unhorsed Ser [[Damon Lannister (lord)|Damon Lannister]] in a [[tourney]] at [[Lannisport]].{{Ref|thk}} In {{Date|200}}, Arlan was defeated by Prince [[Baelor Targaryen (son of Daeron II)|Baelor Targaryen]], [[Prince of Dragonstone]], in a tourney at [[Storm's End]]. Arlan later said he broke seven lances against Baelor, while Baelor remembered four lances. Arlan chose never to joust again after that prestigious showing.{{Ref|THK}}

Arlan's nephew, [[Roger of Pennytree]], was his [[squire]]. During the [[First Blackfyre Rebellion]], Arlan and Roger fought beneath [[Lord Hayford]]'s banners, taking part in the [[Battle of the Redgrass Field]], during which Roger was killed.{{Ref|TSS}}{{Ref|TMK}} Arlan was next to Lord Hayford when the lord was slain by Lord [[Gormon Peake]].{{Ref|TSS}}

At some later point Arlan met [[Duncan the Tall|Dunk]] in the slums of [[Flea Bottom]] in King's Landing, and took him for his squire.{{Ref|TSS}}{{Ref|TMK}} The two of them remained together for years. Arlan and Ser [[Bennis of the Brown Shield]] were among knights hired by a [[Dorne|Dornish]] merchant to escort him from [[Lannisport]] to the [[Prince's Pass]].{{Ref|TSS}} Arlan and Dunk also served at [[Highgarden]] for a time,{{Ref|THK}} and they also marched with a few peasant levies.{{Ref|TMK}} Arlan once helped hang an [[outlaw]] who had been stealing rings.{{Ref|TSS}} Arlan also served a minor lord in the [[stormlands]] in a regional dispute.{{Ref|TSS}}

Three years before the [[tourney at Ashford Meadow]], Arlan and Dunk served Lord [[House Dondarrion|Dondarrion]] in the battle with the [[Vulture King (Daeron II)|Vulture King]]. Also three years before the Ashford tourney, Arlan spent a half year in service to [[Lord Florent]]. Once, a drunken Arlan promised to take Dunk to a [[brothel]], but the knight did not remember the promise once sober.{{Ref|THK}}

Arlan died of a chill on the road leading to [[Ashford Meadow]] in {{Date|209}}. Dunk buried Arlan's body on the western slope of a hill, facing the sunset. Dunk continued on to the tourney. At [[Ashford]] he claimed to [[Plummer]] that Arlan had knighted him as Ser Duncan the Tall before his passing, although there were no witnesses to the ceremony.{{Ref|THK}} Two years later, Duncan also claimed to Lady [[Rohanne Webber]] that he had been knighted by Arlan.{{Ref|TSS}}
