Franklyn is one of the first to swear his allegiance to Prince Aegon Targaryen. He remarks that he looks forward to attacking the Reach and killing some Fossoways. Franklyn then takes Aegon to meet the men of the Golden Company. Instead of waiting for Daenerys, the sellswords agree to sail to Westeros.[2]
