Editing Lord of Stokeworth

The '''Lord of Stokeworth''' and '''Lady of Stokeworth''' are titles given to the head of [[House Stokeworth]] of [[Stokeworth]].{{Ref|ADWD|Appendix}}

==History==
Lord [[Alyn Stokeworth]] was named [[Hand of the King]] by King [[Aegon I Targaryen]] in {{Date|34}}. He was assigned the task over overseeing the construction of the [[Red Keep]] in {{Date|35}}.{{Ref|TSOTD}}{{Ref|twoiaf|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon I}} In {{Date|37}}, Lord Alyn was slain in battle by a bandit [[outlaw]] known as [[Harren the Red]].{{Ref|TSOTD}}{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Aenys I}}

During the reign of King [[Maegor I Targaryen]], Lord Stokeworth was one of the few lords to remain loyal to Maegor near the end of his reign.{{Ref|fab|The Sons of the Dragon}} After Maegor's death, he fled back to his castle.{{Ref|fab|Prince into King - The Ascension of Jaehaerys I}} He later traveled to [[Dragonstone]], to speak with Maegor's successor, King [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen]].{{Ref|fab|A Surfeit of Rulers}}

During the reign of King [[Viserys I Targaryen]], [[Lord Stokeworth]] swore to defend the succession rights of Princess [[Rhaenyra Targaryen]]. In {{Date|129}}, during the [[Dance of the Dragons]] in which Rhaenyra's brother [[Aegon II Targaryen]] challenged her rule by claiming Viserys's throne for himself, Lord Stokeworth was arrested by Aegon II's supporters. When given the choice between swearing his allegiance to Aegon II or dying, Lord Stokeworth pledged his support to Aegon II.{{Ref|fab|The Dying of the Dragons - The Red Dragon and the Gold}} When Ser [[Criston Cole]] marched from [[King's Landing]] to attack [[Duskendale]] and ultimately [[Rook's Rest]], he passed by [[Rosby]] and [[Stokeworth]] to command both lords to prove their loyalty by joining his attack.{{Ref|fab|The Dying of the Dragons - The Red Dragon and the Gold}} When King's Landing [[fall of King's Landing|fell]] to Queen Rhaenyra during {{Date|130}}, Lord Stokeworth attempted to switch his allegiance again. Queen Rhaenyra refused him, however, and ordered his tongue removed, after which he was executed. Following Lord Stokeworth's death, Prince [[Daemon Targaryen]] suggested marrying Stokeworth's young daughter to [[Ulf White]], to grant White the Stokeworth lands. Lord [[Corlys Velaryon]], the [[Hand of the Queen]], argued instead in favor of Stokeworth's younger son. According to Lord Corlys, disinheriting the younger son in favor of the older daughters would call into question the rights of multiple other lords, who had elder sisters whose claims might suddenly be seen as superior. Unwilling to lose the support of such lords, according to Grand Maester [[Munkun]], Rhaenyra eventually named Stokeworth's son as the new Lord of Stokeworth.{{Ref|fab|The Dying of the Dragons - Rhaenyra Triumphant}}

When Aegon II's forces retook King's Landing, Lord [[Borros Baratheon]] marched on Stokeworth, the young Lord of Stokeworth, through his steward and castellan, was brought to King's Landing in chain to swear obeisance before Aegon II, and was only allowed to leave after agreeing to pay a heavy ransom and provide suitable hostages to the [[Iron Throne]].{{Ref|fab|The Dying of the Dragons - The Short, Sad Reign of Aegon II}}
