Prince Lewyn Martell was a member of the Kingsguard of Aerys II and a Prince of Dorne. He was the uncle of the current Prince of Dorne, Doran Martell.[1]
History
Prince Lewyn was the younger brother of the ruling Princess of Dorne. He was appointed a member of the Kingsguard in service of King Aerys II. It was a closely held secret that Prince Lewyn kept a paramour despite the Kingsguard oaths of chastity.[2] Ser Barristan Selmy and his other sworn brothers were aware of this but kept their sworn brother's secret.[3]
During Robert's Rebellion, Aerys used Lewyn's niece, princes Elia Martell, as a hostage against him and sent him to command the ten thousand Dornishmen that were to join Prince Rhaegar Targaryen's force that was assembling to take on Robert Baratheon.[4] He died during the Battle of the Trident at the hands of Ser Lyn Corbray, although Prince Lewyn was mortally wounded before his final duel with Ser Lyn.[5]
Later his bones were returned to Dorne by Hand of the King, Jon Arryn, where presumable he was put to rest.
