Jon Connington was the head of House Connington and for a time Hand of the King.
Not much is known about Connigton's youth. At some time he befriended prince Rhaegar Targaryen. He was one of the few close friends the crownprince had.

Hand of the King

Because of his connection with the royal family and possibly because he was a noted warrior Aerys II choose him as Hand of the King after the dismissal of Owen Merryweather.
After the Battle of Ashford Connington took over the persuit of Robert Baratheon from the Tyrell army. In the Riverlands near the town of Stoney Sept he caught up with Robert Baratheon who was hiding. Connington's soldiers began a house-to-house search. Then Robert Baratheon allies arrived at Stoney Sept.

At this point the Battle of the Bells began. The rebel army under the joint command of Eddard Stark, Jon Arryn and Hoster Tully immediately becan attacking the royal army. Connington fought back fiercely. He personaly killed Arryns nephew and heir Denys Arryn and wounded lord Tully. In spite of his bravery Connington could not prevent a defeat but still was able to retreat in good order.

Aftermath

King Arrys held him responsible for the defeat and exiled him. In exile Connington drank himself to death.
