Cobbler's Square is an area of King's Landing east of the Gate of the Gods and northeast of Visenya's Hill. To the west of it is west barracks of the City Watch of King's Landing.^[1] Shepherd's Way runs eastward of Cobbler's Square up to the Dragonpit.^[2] Presumably it is an area of craft.

History

During the Dance of the Dragons, the one-handed prophet known as the Shepherd made his first of many speeches against Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen and the dragons at Cobbler's Square.^[3] The square hosted rallies for the Shepherd's followers (known as his "lambs"). Even some of House Velaryon's sworn swords joined the Shepherd's cause after the news of Lord Corlys Velaryon's imprisonment became public. At the high of his power, the Shepherd's lambs numbered as many as 10,000. Eventually, Ser Luthor Largent, the Commander of the City Watch, led five hundred gold cloaks to disperse the Shepherd's lambs. What ensued was a bloodbath, with Luthor and the captain of the Gate of the Gods among the dead.^[4] After King Aegon II Targaryen returned to King's Landing, he had 241 of the Shepherd's followers burned along Hill Street between Cobbler's Square and the Dragonpit.^[2]
