==History== In {{Date|105}}, Ser Harwin was brought to court by his father, Lord [[Lyonel Strong]], alongside his younger brother [[Larys Strong|Larys]] and his two sisters. Harwin was made a captain in the [[gold cloaks]] of [[King's Landing]].{{Ref|FAB|Heirs of the Dragon - A Question of Succession}} During {{Date|112}}, Harwin was one of many suitors to pay court to [[Rhaenyra Targaryen]], the [[Princess of Dragonstone]].{{Ref|FAB|Heirs of the Dragon - A Question of Succession}} According to [[Mushroom]] in {{Date|113}}, Harwin was returning to the [[Red Keep]] from a night of reveling in the capital when he happened upon a spurned Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, who took solace in his company, being found abed together by Mushroom the following morning.{{Ref|FAB|Heirs of the Dragon - A Question of Succession}} In {{Date|114}}, Princess Rhaenyra granted Harwin her favor at the [[tourney]] celebrating her [[wedding]] with Ser [[Laenor Velaryon]]. At that tourney, Ser [[Criston Cole]] broke his collarbone and shattered his elbow. Mushroom mocked him as "Brokenbones" after this event. Thereafter Harwin was a consistent presence at Rhaenyra's side and was the foremost member among the [[blacks]].{{Ref|FAB|Heirs of the Dragon - A Question of Succession}} In late {{Date|115}}, according to [[Septon]] [[Eustace (Dance of the Dragons)|Eustace]], during the birth of Rhaenyra's second son, [[Lucerys Velaryon|Lucerys]], both Rhaenyra's husband Ser Laenor and Breakbones were in attendance at her bedside. When Rhaenyra moved to [[Dragonstone]] after the rivalry with Queen [[Alicent Hightower]] and the [[greens]] grew to be too much, Breakbones went with her as her personal [[sworn shield]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Viserys I}}{{Ref|FAB|Heirs of the Dragon - A Question of Succession}} In {{Date|120}}, after Prince [[Aemond Targaryen]] called Rhaenyra's sons "[[House Strong|Strongs]]" and a brawl broke out, Harwin was removed as Princess Rhaenyra's champion by King [[Viserys I Targaryen]] and he returned to [[Harrenhal]], being replaced by Ser [[Erryk Cargyll]] of the [[Kingsguard]]. Harwin died in a fire at Harrenhal that same year, with it also killing his father, Lord Lyonel Strong. The fire was said to be an accident and blamed on the [[Curse of Harrenhal|curse]] of Harrenhal. Other non-mystical suspects included Prince [[Daemon Targaryen]], whose motive would have been eliminating a rival for Princess Rhaenyra's affections; Lord [[Corlys Velaryon]], as revenge for Harwin cuckolding his son; Harwin's brother, Larys, to claim the inheritance of Harrenhal; and King Viserys I, to eliminate the man who brought dishonor on his House.{{Ref|FAB|Heirs of the Dragon - A Question of Succession}}
