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 had three children with her first husband, Ser Theo Bolling. Theo was arrested by knights of the Kingsguard, however, accused of conspiring with Queen Alyssa Velaryon to place her son, Prince Jaehaerys, on the Iron Throne, and was executed. After seven days of mourning, Elinor was summoned to wed King Maegor I Targaryen. 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]
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.[4] Elinor was one of the two wives who survived the king, the other being Queen Rhaena Targaryen.[2][4]
After King Maegor's death, Lord Daemon Velaryon proposed that King Jaehaerys I Targaryen 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, Elinor 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 Elinor to go forth and spread his Doctrine of Exceptionalism to the peoples of the Seven Kingdoms, as well as the goodness of Jaehaerys and Alysanne, becoming one of the Seven Speakers. 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]
