===Second Battle of Tumbleton=== After the treachery of the [[Two Betrayers]] in the [[First Battle of Tumbleton]], many voices in the [[black council]] questioned Addam's loyalty. Only Lord Corlys, the [[Hand of the King|Hand of the Queen]], spoke in defense of the [[dragonseed]], remarking that Addam and Alyn were "true Velaryons" and worthy of Driftmark. The Hand's impassioned protests were in vain, and Queen Rhaenyra, suspecting a turncloak, commanded Ser [[Luthor Largent]] to arrest Addam in the Dragonpit. Addam, who had been forewarned, managed to make his escape flying away with Seasmoke, fleeing before he could be put to the question. By ordering the arrest of Addam, the queen lost not only a dragon but her Hand as well. Corlys was beaten and imprisoned for warning Addam.{{Ref|FAB|16}} As the [[Second Battle of Tumbleton]] was put into motion, Addam was determined to prove that all bastards need not be turncloaks. The singers say that Addam flew from King's Landing to the [[Gods Eye]] where he landed on the sacred [[Isle of Faces]] and took counsel with the [[Green Men]]. Known fact says that he flew far and fast descending on castles great and small whose lords were loyal to the queen to piece together an army. By the time Addam was ready to descend on [[Tumbleton]], he had almost four thousand men at his back.{{Ref|FAB|17}} Ser Addam attacked Tumbleton at night, taking the [[greens]] completely unawares. As chaos ensued, Addam could see the battle turning into a rout below him. By this time, two of the enemy dragonriders, [[Hugh Hammer]] and Prince [[Daeron Targaryen (son of Viserys I)|Daeron the Daring]], were dead; although Addam could not have known that, he could see the dragons [[Vermithor]], [[Silverwing]], and [[Tessarion]]. The riderless Tessarion took flight and Addam turned his dragon Seasmoke to meet her. Both being young dragons, they moved fast and nimbly as they fought. The fight ended when the riderless, enraged Vermithor rose into the sky and set about indiscriminately killing those on the ground.{{Ref|FAB|17}} As Vermithor wreaked carnage, Seasmoke fell upon him, driving him shrieking into the mud. According to Archmaester [[Gyldayn]], Addam must have felt duty-bound to protect his men on the ground, though surely he knew in his heart Seasmoke could not match the older dragon. The riderless Tessarion soon joined the fray and all three dragons fought to the death on the ground amidst mud and blood and smoke.{{Ref|FAB|17}} After the battle, Lord [[Unwin Peake]] bowed to defeat and ordered a retreat, taking the remnants of the great host that Prince Daeron and Lord [[Ormund Hightower]] had led from [[Oldtown]]. Addam, the accused turncloak, had saved King's Landing from Rhaenyra's foes at the cost of his own life.{{Ref|FAB|17}}
