However, in {{Date\|47}}, Theo was arrested by [[knight]]s of the [[Kingsguard]], accused of conspiring with Queen [[Alyssa Velaryon]] to place her son, Prince [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen\|Jaehaerys]], on the [[Iron Throne]], and was executed. After seven days of mourning, Elinor was summoned to wed King [[Maegor I Targaryen]], who sought to marry three women of proven fertility. Her sons' presence at the wedding ensured she would play her part in the ceremony. According to one tale, Elinor scratched Maegor's back to bloody ribbons as they coupled.{{Ref\|FAB\|The Sons of the Dragon}}

	Elinor's sons were sent away from her after her wedding to Maegor; her eldest was fostered at the [[Eyrie]], her second son to [[Highgarden]], and her youngest was given to a wet nurse.{{Ref\|FAB\|The Sons of the Dragon}}		Elinor's sons were sent away from her after her wedding to Maegor; her eldest was [[fostered]] at the [[Eyrie]], her second son at [[Highgarden]], and her youngest was given to a [[wet nurse]].{{Ref\|FAB\|The Sons of the Dragon}}

	When Queen [[Tyanna of the Tower]] admitted to ~~poisoning~~ Queen [[Alys Harroway]] during her pregnancy, Tyanna promised the same would happen to Elinor. Tyanna was proven correct when Elinor gave birth to a stillborn abomination said to have been born eyeless and with small wings.{{Ref\|FAB\|The Sons of the Dragon}} Elinor was one of ~~the~~ two wives who survived the king, the other being Queen [[Rhaena Targaryen (daughter of Aenys I)\|Rhaena Targaryen]].{{Ref\|TWOIAF\|The Targaryen Kings: Maegor I}}{{Ref\|FAB\|The Sons of the Dragon}}		In {{Date\|48}}, When Queen [[Tyanna of the Tower]] admitted to [[poison]]ing Queen [[Alys Harroway]] during her pregnancy, Tyanna promised the same would happen to the pregnant Elinor.

			That year, Prince Jaehaerys Targaryen [[Jaehaerys Targaryen's uprising\|pressed his claim to the Iron Throne]]. Maegor's response was sluggish and confused, but though he was heavily outnumbered, he refused to surrender. At the end of his war council, Maegor remained behind alone in the [[throne room]] to brood. He was found the next morning by Queen Elinor, dead upon the Iron Throne with his wrists cut and one of the swords pointing through his neck. His death remains a mystery; some say he was killed by Queen Elinor, others that he had been killed by a knight of his own Kingsguard, yet others say he was killed by a builder who escaped the [[Red Keep#History\|massacre]] the king had ordered three years prior and desired revenge, and many believe that Maegor had been killed by the throne itself for his unworthiness. Others believe that Maegor killed himself by opening his wrists on the blades of the Iron Throne.{{Ref\|FAB\|The Sons of the Dragon}}{{Ref\|TWOIAF\|The Targaryen Kings: Maegor I}}{{Ref\|ASOS\|36}}
