The Princess of Dorne was the unnamed ruler of Dorne during the reign of King Aerys II Targaryen. She was the mother of Doran, Elia, and Oberyn Martell. Her brother was the Kingsguard Prince Lewyn Martell.

History

The Princess was one of the companions of Princess or Queen Rhaella Targaryen. She became friends with Joanna Lannister.[2][N 2]

In 270 AC, during a visit to Sunspear, King Aerys II Targaryen told the Princess that he would "make the Dornish deserts bloom" by digging a great underground canal beneath the Red Mountains to bring water down from the rainwood, but like most of his grandiose plans, it was quickly forgotten.[4]

Quotes

Tyrion: Well, Prince Rhaegar married Elia of Dorne, not Cersei Lannister of Casterly Rock. So it would seem your mother won that tilt.
Oberyn: She thought so, but your father is not a man to forget such slights.[2]

As the children splashed in the pools, Daenerys watched from amongst the orange trees, and a realization came to her. She could not tell the highborn from the low. Naked, they were only children. All innocent, all vulnerable, all deserving of long life, love, protection. 'There is your realm,' she told her son and heir, 'remember them, in everything you do.' My own mother said those same words to me when I was old enough to leave the pools. It is an easy thing for a prince to call the spears, but in the end the children pay the price. For their sake, the wise prince will wage no war without good cause, nor any war he cannot hope to win.[5]

Notes

  1. The Princess's son Doran Martell was ruler of Dorne during Robert's Rebellion.[1]
  2. Though Tyrion Lannister says that the Princess and Joanna Lannister "had been at court together as girls",[2] that is slightly incorrect, as the Princess's oldest son Doran (born 247248 AC) was about the same age as Joanna (born 245250 AC). George R.R. Martin compares the situation to the lady companions of Margaery Tyrell, which include girls her age as well as older women and younger girls.[3]
