Lady Elinor Costayne was a member of House Costayne and one of the many brides of King Maegor I Targaryen. Along with Lady Jeyne Westerling and Princess Rhaena Targaryen, she was one of the so-called "Black Brides".[2]
History
Elinor was married to Ser Theo Bolling and had already given her husband three children. Theo was arrested by knights of the Kingsguard, accused of conspiring with Queen Alyssa Velaryon to place her son, Prince Jaehaerys, on the throne, and was executed. After seven days of mourning, Elinor was summoned to wed Maegor. Her sons' presence at the wedding ensured she would play her part in the ceremony.[3] According to one tale, Elinor scratched Maegor's back to bloody ribbons as they coupled.[4]
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.[3]
Elinor became pregnant. When Queen Tyanna admitted to poisoning Queen Alys during her pregnancy, she promised the same would happen to birth to Queen Elinor's child. Tyanna was proven correct when Elinor gave birth to a stillborn abomination said to have been born eyeless and with small wings.[4] She was one of the two wives who survived the king.[2][4]
After King Maegor's death, Lord Daemon Velaryon proposed that King Jaehaerys I marry Queen Elinor to reconcile with Maegor's supporters when a bride was being considered for the king, but nothing came of the proposal.[5] After Jaehaerys's ascent, she departed King's Landing dressed in the robes of a penitent. She visited her two elder sons at the Eyrie and Highgarden before retiring to her father's seat at the Three Towers with her youngest son.[6]
Later, King Jaehaerys commanded Queen Elinor to go forth and spread his Doctrine of Exceptionalism to the peoples of the Seven Kingdoms. Her queenly raiment became shabbier and more threadbare each day, and she eventually gave up all claims to nobility, becoming Mother Elinor at the great motherhouse in Lannisport.[7]
