Ser Harwin Strong, known as Breakbones, was a knight from House Strong and was heir to Harrenhal. He also served as a captain in the City Watch of King's Landing. The rumored lover of Rhaenyra Targaryen, Harwin is believed by some to have been the real father of her first three children (Jacaerys, Lucerys, and Joffrey Velaryon).[1]

Appearance and Character

Harwin was said to be the strongest man in the Seven Kingdoms in his day.[2]

History

Princess Rhaenyra granted Harwin her favor at the tourney celebrating her wedding with Laenor Velaryon. At that tourney, Ser Criston Cole broke his collarbone and shattered his elbow. Thereafter the fool Mushroom called him Brokenbones.[2]

When Rhaenyra moved to Dragonstone in 114 AC, Harwin went with her as her personal sworn shield.

Harwin died in a fire at Harrenhal that also killed his father, Lord Lyonel Strong. The fire was blamed on the curse of Harrenhal. Other non-mystical suspects included Daemon Targaryen, Corlys Velaryon, his brother Larys Strong, and King Viserys I Targaryen.[2]
