History

The Fowlers sided with the Martells against the Yronwoods during Nymeria's War a thousand years ago. Since then they have feuded with the Yronwoods, the Wardens of the Stoneway east of the Prince's Pass.[3]

While growing up, Tyrion Lannister heard reports of a dwarf jester at Skyreach, the seat of the Fowlers.[4]

Recent Events

A Feast for Crows

Nymeria Sand was abed with the Fowler twins, Jeyne and Jennelyn, when the news of her father Oberyn Martell's death reached her. Quoting the Fowler words, she asks Prince Doran Martell to "let her soar" and avenge Oberyn.[1]

While prisoner in her tower, Arianne Martell decides to confide with Lord Franklyn Fowler among all the Dornish lords because of his great power, the traditional rivalry between Fowlers and Yronwoods, and the fact that Nymeria is close to the Fowler twins. Doran later tells Arianne he does not trust Nymeria because she is too close to the Fowler twins, and he cannot say who they would confide in.[3]

During a feast in Sunspear, Areo Hotah notes that the Fowler twins are among the Dornish nobility who do not drink during Ricasso's toast of King Tommen Baratheon.[5]
