Ser Duncan the Tall

The Dunk and Egg stories are an ongoing series of novellas written by George R. R. Martin, set in the world of A Song of Ice and Fire, prequels to the main novels. The stories relate the adventures of the hedge knight Ser Duncan the Tall, who would become a legendary member of the Kingsguard, and his squire Egg, who would become King Aegon V Targaryen of Westeros. The stories begin with their meeting eighty-nine years before the events of the main novels (209 AC), and may cover the events until the deaths of Duncan and King Aegon.

Three novellas have appeared so far: *The Hedge Knight, *The Sworn Sword and *The Mystery Knight*. Six to twelve stories in the series are planned.

Contents

Publications

Three novellas have been published:

These three stories were collected in one book, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (2015).

Two graphic novels, adapting the first two stories, have also been published. A third graphic novel, adapting The Mystery Knight, is in production and will be published by Random House.

Future

Planned Installments

George R.R. Martin has said that he would like to write a number of these stories (varying from six to twelve from interview to interview) covering the entire lives of these two characters. A fourth installment, currently untitled, but with the working title *The She-Wolves of Winterfell, has been described by Martin. It will feature Ser Duncan the Tall and Egg at Winterfell, where they will meet the so-called "She-Wolves". Originally, it was planned that this fourth Dunk & Egg novella would be published in the *Dangerous Women anthology Martin was co-editing with Gardner Dozois. However, when unable to make the deadline, Martin submitted *The Princess and the Queen*, an abridged version of a piece he had written on the civil war Dance of the Dragons.

Besides The She-Wolves of Winterfell, Martin also has a fifth tale roughed out in his head, which has the working title *The Village Hero*. This novella is set to take place in the Riverlands, Regarding the completion of these two novellas, Martin has stated the following:

There's no telling when I will have time to finish either of these, or which one I will write first. I don't expect I will know more until I've delivered THE WINDS OF WINTER.

Further working titles for future Dunk and Egg stories have been revealed by Martin.

The chronology of these stories is as yet unknown, as well as if any other stories may take place in between them.

Collections

While the original intent was to publish all the Dunk & Egg tales in a series of anthologies (as was done for the first three), and then collect them all in one big book, when The Mystery Knight was released it became clear that the stories were too long for this. The current plan, as expressed by Martin, is to release a series of Dunk & Egg collections, each consisting of three novellas. The first of these collections consisted of the three published stories to date, The Hedge Knight, The Sworn Sword and The Mystery Knight. Originally, the obvious title "The Hedge Knight" was considered, but due to already existing confusion about the same-titled novella and graphic novels, the first collection was titled *A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms*. It was released on October 6th, 2015, by Bantam Spectra.

Movies or television shows

Martin had admitted that there has been interest for movies or television shows for the Dunk & Egg tales.

There has been interest, yes, but the rights situation is complicated. Film and television rights to the characters and the three published Dunk & Egg stories remain with me at present... but HBO, when acquiring the rights to the SONG OF ICE & FIRE novels, also acquired film and television rights to the world of Westeros. So if we did Dunk & Egg with anyone else, we would need to remove all the references to House Targaryen, the Iron Throne, etc... not completely impossible, but certainly undesireable. Whereas if HBO decided they wanted to make a Dunk & Egg miniseries or TV movies, they'd first need to buy the stories. That's a much more attractive proposition for all concerned, I think... but if it happens, it will happen years from now, not tomorrow, and not next week.

Durran, called Durran Godsgrief, was the mythic first Storm King and the founder of House Durrandon. Legend has that he was married to Elenei and was the builder of Storm's End.

History

Elenei protects Durran as Storm's End is constructed.
Art by Roman Papsuev

According to legend, Durran won the love of Elenei, the daughter of the sea god and the goddess of the wind, during the Age of Heroes. Her divine parents forbade their love, but Durran and Elenei wed despite them. The gods' wrath was terrible to behold, destroying Durran's keep on his wedding night and killing all his family and guests, but Durran survived under Elenei's protection. Enraged, Durran declared war on the gods, who replied by hammering his kingdom with massive storms. Each time Durran built a castle to face the sea the gods destroyed it.

King Durran persisted in building larger and more powerful fortifications, until finally the seventh castle, Storm's End, stayed in place and resisted the storms of Shipbreaker Bay. Some believe this is because the children of the forest took a hand in its construction; others believe that a young boy, who grew up to be Bran the Builder, advised Durran on its construction. The truth of the matter is unknown.

Afterward, Durran supposedly ruled for a thousand years. Archmaester Glaive proposed that the "King of a Thousand Years" was in fact a succession of monarchs all bearing the same name.

Durran Godsgrief claimed the rainwood, but much of it was returned to the children of the forest by his son, Durran the Devout.

A dwarf is a person with dwarfism.

Contents

Culture

Some cultures, both in Westeros and Essos, do not suffer dwarfs to live, such as the Dothraki, the free folk and, in the past, the people of the Three Sisters. Septons halted the Sistermen's practice of casting dwarfs into the Bite as sacrifices to their gods, however.

Dwarfs are often employed as motleyed fools and jesters.

Some dwarfs refer to people of normal stature as "big folk" or "big people".

When there were kings on the Sisters, we did not suffer dwarfs to live. We cast them all into the sea, as an offering to the gods. The septons made us stop that. A pack of pious fools. Why would the gods give a man such a shape but to mark him as a monster?

You mustn't mock him. Don't you know anything? You can't talk that way to a big person. They can hurt you. Ser Jorah could have tossed you in the sea. The sailors would have laughed to see you drown. You have to be careful around big people. Be jolly and playful with them, keep them smiling, make them laugh, that's what my father always said.

Ebrose is the archmaester at the Citadel who tests novices seeking their link in the arts of healing.

Contents

Appearance and Character

The elderly Ebrose is kind and soft spoken. He awards links of silver to those who pass his exam.

History

Ebrose has studied all known accounts of the "butterfly fever" of Naath and concluded that it is spread by a large black-and-white variety of butterflies with wings as big as a man's hand.

Ebrose informed Maester Yandel that Archmaester Edgerran allowed Yandel to be raised at the Citadel so that Edgerran could test theories involving infants.

Qyburn desired to surpass Ebrose as a healer, so he began opening the bodies of the living. Qyburn was thus expelled from the maesters for disobeying their rules.

Eddard was born at Winterfell

Eddard was fostered by Lord Jon Arryn at the Eyrie from the age of eight.

In 281 AC, at the age of eighteen, Eddard came down from the Eyrie to attend the tourney at Harrenhal.

The following year, Eddard's sister Lyanna was abducted by Prince Rhaegar.

Robert's Rebellion

Robert Baratheon and Eddard, by Tomasz Jedruszek © Fantasy Flight Games

With his father and brother dead, Eddard was now the Lord of Winterfell. He wanted to raise his banners to join Robert's Rebellion, but getting from the Vale of Arryn to the north was complicated by the loyalty to the Iron Throne of Gulltown, the Vale's chief port.

Eddard called his banners, and marched south to join Robert, arriving with Lord Hoster Tully in time to turn the tide at the Battle of the Bells.

The rebels won their decisive victory in the Battle of the Trident, in which Robert killed Prince Rhaegar Targaryen in single combat at the ruby ford. Because Robert had been wounded by Rhaegar, it fell on Eddard to pursue the remnants of Aerys's armies to King's Landing.

Eddard, Jaime, and Aerys in the Iron Throne room - by Amok ©

When Eddard arrived at the capital, Lord Tywin Lannister's force had already sacked the city. Eddard had developed contempt for House Lannister during the rebellion, as Tywin had remained neutral in an apparent attempt to join the winning side in the end. Eddard's contempt increased when he learned that Tywin had conquered the city by treachery and that his men had brutally killed Rhaegar's wife, Elia Martell, and children, Rhaenys and Aegon. In addition, Lannister flags were flying over the Red Keep when Eddard arrived and, as he rode into the throne room to claim the crown for Robert, he found King Aerys's body at the steps leading to the Iron Throne, on which the king's killer, Ser Jaime Lannister, was sitting.

Eddard felt the Sack of King's Landing dishonored Robert's cause. He was disappointed that Robert, upon arriving in the city, did not share his moral outrage and in particular defended the murder of Rhaegar's children. He also ignored Eddard's counsel that Jaime should be made to join the Night's Watch for breaking his oath as a knight of the Kingsguard by not protect the king. Their disagreements created a rift between Eddard and Robert that not even Jon Arryn was able to breach.

Eddard left Robert in King's Landing and went to Storm's End, where he lifted the siege of the castle. Lord Mace Tyrell and his armies yielded to Eddard without a fight.

Eddard makes a promise to Lyanna before her death - by Amok ©

Unfortunately, when Eddard found Lyanna, she was already dying.

When Eddard returned home to Winterfell, he brought with him his bastard son, Jon Snow. This strained the relationship with his wife Catelyn, who had given birth to their son Robb at Riverrun during the war. Eddard refused to speak to her about Jon's mother. However, stories concerning her identity circulated nonetheless. When Catelyn heard rumors that the boy's mother was the Dornish noblewoman Ashara Dayne, she confronted Eddard about it, but he told her in a brusque manner that the child was his blood and that was all she needed to know. He subsequently silenced the rumors about Ashara.

Eddard buried the bones of his deceased kin in the crypt of Winterfell. Breaking the tradition of only Stark kings and lords having statues, Ned had them carved for Brandon and Lyanna next to that of Lord Rickard.

Lord of Winterfell

As a second son, Eddard had never expected to become the Lord of Winterfell, and as such did not always feel equal to the task, determined it had all been meant for his elder brother Brandon.

In 289 AC, Eddard travelled south to help Robert suppress Greyjoy's Rebellion. After the decisive siege of Pyke and Lord Balon Greyjoy's surrender, Eddard took Balon's only surviving son, Theon, to Winterfell as a ward and hostage.

When Lord Jorah Mormont tried to sell poachers he had caught on his lands into slavery in 293 AC, Eddard travelled to Bear Island to bring him to justice for his crime. Upon arrival, Ned found that Jorah and Lynesse Hightower had fled into exile, however.

During his marriage to Catelyn, Eddard had five children with her: Robb, Sansa, Arya, Bran, and Rickon.

Eddard: That is the only time a man can be brave.

Bran Stark and Eddard

The blood of the First Men still flows in the veins of the Starks, and we hold to the belief that the man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die.

—Eddard's thoughts

Cersei: You should have taken the realm for yourself. It was there for the taking. Jaime told me how you found him on the Iron Throne the day King's Landing fell, and made him yield it up. That was your moment. All you needed to do was climb those steps, and sit. Such a sad mistake.

While Edmure is away from Riverrun, his sister, Catelyn Stark, frees Ser Jaime Lannister and sends him back to King's Landing with Brienne of Tarth and Ser Cleos Frey, hoping that Tyrion Lannister will in return free Catelyn's daughter, Sansa and Arya Stark. Edmure's castellan, Ser Desmond Grell, confines Catelyn to Lord Hoster Tully's chambers.

Robb Stark, King of the Trident, returns to Riverrun from the westerlands. While Robb publicly praises Edmure in the Great Hall for Stone Mill, the king and Ser Brynden Tully berate Edmure in a private audience chamber for disrupting Robb's plan. According to them, Edmure, in defending the Red Fork, unknowingly thwarted Robb's plans. Robb argues he wanted Tywin to cross the river and then be trapped in the westerlands by the Stark and Frey cavalry there. However, Robb did not reveal this plan to Edmure beforehand. By pushing Tywin's army back, Edmure inflicted enough of a delay for messengers from Bitterbridge to reach Tywin with word of what was happening to the south, allowing Tywin to turn his army around and aid the Tyrells and his grandson, King Joffrey I Baratheon, in the Battle of the Blackwater.

Ser Ryman Frey brings Edmure to the siege of Riverrun, whose castellan is Edmure's uncle, Ser Brynden Tully. Ryman threatens to hang Edmure if Riverrun does not surrender. Every day Edmure is made to stand at the gallows but Brynden refuses to surrender and Ryman does not make good on his threats. The siege continues until Ser Jaime Lannister arrives to take over command. Ser Perwyn Frey has told Ser Daven Lannister that Roslin Frey is fond of Edmure and now pregnant.

Taking command of the siege, Jaime sends Ryman back to the Twins and takes Edmure as his own prisoner. The Kingslayer releases a thin and filthy Edmure, Lewys Piper draws a tub of bathwater for him, and Pia gives him fresh clothes. Reminding Edmure that he is lord of House Tully, Jaime explains that if Riverrun is yielded then the garrison and smallfolk will be spared, and that Edmure and his family will be able to live in comfort at Casterly Rock. Jaime also suggests joining the Night's Watch as an alternative. If Edmure does not yield Riverrun, however, Jaime will use river lords in the first wave of an assault of the castle, and defenders would be killed. If Edmure and Roslin's child would be born, Jaime would send the child to him in a catapult. Afterward, Jaime leaves Edmure to his bath, with the sole company of Tom of Sevenstreams playing "The Rains of Castamere".

Having entered Riverrun, Edmure waits most of the day before surrendering the castle. Jaime learns the next morning that during the confusion, Edmure raised the Water Gate to allow Brynden to escape into the Red Fork. After Riverrun is handed over, Edmure is sent west with an armed escort to begin life as a hostage of House Lannister. Their group is joined by the Westerlings, and Ser Forley Prester's best archers are to shoot Edmure and Jeyne Westerling if they attempt to escape.

A Dance with Dragons

During the siege of Raventree, Jaime mentions to Lord Tytos Blackwood that after Roslin gives birth she and the child will be sent to join Edmure at Casterly Rock.

Quotes by Edmure

Edmure Tully by The Mico ©

How can we talk of peace while the Lannisters spread like a pestilence over my father's domains, stealing his crops and slaughtering his people?

- Edmure to Robb Stark

Catelyn: Who are all these folk? Edmure: My people. They were afraid.

- Catelyn Stark and Edmure

Edmure: Tell Father I have gone to make him proud.

Catelyn: He was always proud of you, Edmure. And he loves you fiercely. Believe that.

Edmure: I mean to give him better reason than mere birth.

– Edmure and Catelyn Tully

Brynden: I am the last man in the Seven Kingdoms to tell anyone who they must wed, Nephew. Nonetheless, you did say something of making amends for your Battle of the Fords.
Edmure: I had in mind a different sort of amends. Single combat with the Kingslayer. Seven years of penance as a begging brother. Swimming the sunset sea with my legs tied. The Others take you all! Very well, I'll wed the wench. As amends.

Brynden Tully and Edmure

Roslin: Lord Edmure, I hope I am not a disappointment to you.
Edmure: You are a delight to me, my lady. And ever will be, I know.

- Roslin Frey and Edmure

This was my father's solar. He ruled the riverlands from here, wisely and well. The light was good there, and whenever he looked up from his work he could see the river. When his eyes were tired he would have Cat read to him. Littlefinger and I built a castle out of wooden blocks once, there beside the door. You will never know how sick it makes me to see you in this room, Kingslayer. You will never know how much I despise you.

– Edmure to Jaime Lannister

Is it my fault that your fool brother lost his battle before we could march? I am told the Kingslayer went through him like an axe through ripe cheese.

Walder Frey, to Catelyn Stark

Only my sweet brother would crowd all these useless mouths into a castle that might soon be under siege. Catelyn knew that Edmure had a soft heart; sometimes she thought his head was even softer. She loved him for it, yet still ...

Catelyn Stark's thoughts

You owe His Grace your thanks for his forbearance. He played out that mummer’s farce in the Great Hall so as not to shame you before your own people. Had it been me I would have flayed you for your stupidity rather than praising this folly of the fords.

Brynden Tully to Edmure

Robb: We must win back the Freys. With them, we still have some chance of success, however small. Without them, I see no hope. I am willing to give Lord Walder whatever he requires ... apologies, honors, lands, gold ... there must be something that would soothe his pride ...
Catelyn: Not something. Someone.

Tom: Lord Hoster was hanging outlaws before you were shaving. And that son of his ... a man who hates music can't be trusted, I always say.

- Tom of Sevenstreams to Anguy and Lem

Tytos: For honor's sake I must ask about my liege lord.

Jaime: Ser Edmure is on his way to Casterly Rock as my captive. His wife will remain at the Twins until their child is born. Then she and the babe will join him. So long as he does not attempt escape or plot rebellion, Edmure will live a long life.
Tytos: Long and bitter. A life without honor. Until his dying day, men will say he was afraid to fight.

Jaime (thinking): Unjustly. It was his child he feared for.

Edric is a sturdily attractive youth, with jet-black hair and deep blue eyes. He resembles his father, King Robert I, and has the characteristic hair, eyes, jaw, and cheekbones of House Baratheon.

Edric is charming and courteous, but also fierce and proud.

History

Edric was conceived by King Robert I Baratheon and Delena on the wedding night of Lord Stannis Baratheon to Selyse Florent, Delena's cousin, in the couple's wedding bed. Stannis saw this as an insult to his honor, so he sent Edric to Storm's End to foster with the boy's other uncle, Renly Baratheon.

Edric has been sent a gift from his father every year on his name day. These have included a pony, a sable cloak, and a child-sized warhammer similar to his father's weapon. Edric would write to King's Landing to thank his father for the gifts, but upon receiving the letters Robert would laugh and ask Varys what he had sent that year.

Annotation #1 for item #46265767: Wiki: Elaena Targaryen

*"Elaena" redirects here. For the daughter of Gaemon Targaryen, Lord of Dragonstone, see Elaena Targaryen.*

Princess Elaena Targaryen was the third daughter and youngest child of King Aegon III Targaryen and his wife, Queen Daenaera Velaryon.

Contents

Appearance and Character

According to semi-canon sources, Elaena was a not great beauty in her youth, unlike like her sisters. At age eleven, she was described as a "skinny little thing", awkward and angular, shy and charming by turns. However, her beauty matured as she grew older, and its was said that she was more beautiful at age seventy than at age seventeen. Her eyes were a soft lilac, her mouth thin-lipped and often angry. Her hair was a platinum white with a bright golden streak down the middle, an unusual color even for the Targaryens. She wore it long, pulled back, and braided, and was always being told it was her crowning beauty. However, she cut off her braid to defy her brother Baelor for imprisoning her in the Maidenvault, and afterwards wore her hair short for years.

As a child, Elaena liked to dress in black, simply because her older sister Daena also dressed in black. In character, she had more than a little of Daena's willfulness, as she would prove when she grew older. Elaena was also shrewd and intelligent, especially with money.

History

Born in 150 AC, Elaena was the third daughter and youngest child of King Aegon III Targaryen and Queen Daenaera of House Velaryon. She had two older brothers, Daeron and Baelor, and two older sisters, Daena and Rhaena.

The Maidenvault

Elaena's brother, Baelor I Targaryen, came to the throne in 161 AC, when she was eleven. Shortly thereafter Baelor the Blessed imprisoned Elaena and her sisters in their own "Court of Beauty", in the part of the Red Keep that would become known as the Maidenvault, to preserve their innocence and so the sight of them would not tempt him or others in his court to mortal lusts. The three sisters were known afterwards as the "Three Maids in the Tower". Elaena hated her imprisonment, and had always been told that her hair was her "crowning glory"; so, she cut off her braid and sent it to Baelor, hoping that if she rid herself of her beauty, he would allow her out of the Maidenvault. Her pleas fell on deaf ears, and she remained in the Maidenvault until Baelor's death in 171 AC.

After Baelor died, there were some amongst the smallfolk and the lords who felt that Elaena's eldest sister Daena should inherit the throne, as she was Aegon III's eldest surviving child. However, Daena had been isolated for a decade in the Maidenvault, which had left her and her sisters without powerful allies. The memories of the Dance of the Dragons and of Rhaenyra Targaryen, the last woman to sit the Iron Throne, left many wary of the idea of a ruling queen. The precedents of the Great Council of 101 AC and the Dance were cited, the claims of Daena and her sisters were set aside, and Elaena's uncle was crowned King Viserys II Targaryen.

Later life

Elaena Targaryen and Michael Manwoody, by Oznerol-1516©

After being freed from the Maidenvault, Elaena outlived her siblings and led a tumultuous life. Although Elaena had three husbands during her lifetime, the great love of her life was her cousin, Lord Alyn Velaryon. She gave birth to two bastard children by him, the twins Jon and Jeyne Waters.

In 176 AC, during the reign of King Aegon IV Targaryen, Elaena married her first husband, the wealthy but elderly Lord Ossifer Plumm. He died on their wedding night (supposedly after seeing her naked), but Elaena became pregnant and gave birth to a son, called Viserys Plumm. There were those who were dubious of the boy's parentage,

Elaena married her second husband, Ronnel Penrose, in the reign of King Daeron II Targaryen. He sat on the king's small council as master of coin; but it was widely known that Elaena was the one performing the duties, as she was shrewd and intelligent with money, while Ronnel did not have a great facility for numbers. King Daeron trusted her with many important matters of state, and she grew influential.

Not long after Ronnel's death, Elaena married once more, for love and by her own choosing. With King Daeron II's blessing, Elaena was married to Ser Michael Manwoody, a Dornishman who had attended the court of Mariah Martell. Michael was sent as an envoy to Braavos on several occasions, and there is record of correspondence between him and the keyholders of the Iron Bank. These letters, while signed with Michael's name and fixed with his seal, appear to have been in the handwriting of Elaena. While her husband was a cultured man of great wit and learning, Elaena said it was not those traits that had caused her to fall in love with him, but his love of music, and he was known to play the harp for her. When Michael died, Elaena commanded his effigy to be carved with him holding a harp, instead of the sword and spurs of knighthood.

Legacy

A descendant of Elaena's son Viserys Plumm crossed the narrow sea, and became the ancestor of Brown Ben Plumm.

Quotes

Daenerys: He likes you, Ben.

Ben: And well he might. I have me a drop of the dragon blood myself, you know.
Daenerys: You? How could that be?

Ben: Well, there was some old Plumm in the Sunset Kingdoms who wed a dragon princess. My grandmama told me the tale. He lived in King Aegon's day.

Daenerys Targaryen and Ben Plumm

Rennifer: I am not one to boast, but there is royal blood in my veins. I am descended from a princess. My father told me the tale when I was a tad of a lad. She was the fairest treasure of the Maidenvault. Lord Oakenfist the great admiral lost his heart to her, though he was married to another. She gave their son the bastard name of "Waters" in honor of his father, and he grew to be a great knight, as did his own son, who put the "Long" before the "Waters" so men might know that he was not basely born himself. So I have a little dragon in me.
Jaime: Yes, I almost mistook you for Aegon the Conqueror.

The Elder Brother is a tall man, with a large, square head, shrewd eyes, a veined, red nose, and a heavy jaw. He shaves his head.

History

The Elder Brother was the third son of a family of knights, and he had nothing to offer the woman he wanted to marry but the shield, sword and horse of his own knighthood. He fought for House Targaryen at the Battle of the Trident where he was knocked unconscious. Others thought him dead so they stripped his armor and possessions and dumped his body into the Trident. He floated downstream where he woke up naked on the Quiet Isle. He spent the next ten years in silence.

Elenei is said to have been the daughter of the sea god and the goddess of the wind. According to legend, she married Durran Godsgrief, the first Storm King.

History

Elenei protects Durran as Storm's End is constructed.
Art by Roman Papsuev

According to legend, in the Age of Heroes, the first Storm King, Durran Godsgrief, won the love of fair Elenei. She gave her maidenhead to him, committing herself to a mortal life. Her divine parents forbade their love, but Durran and Elenei wed despite them. The gods' wrath was terrible to behold, destroying Durran's keep on his wedding night, killing all his family and guests. Elenei protected Durran from the storm, however. Enraged, Durran declared war on the gods, who replied by hammering his kingdom with massive storms. Each time Durran built a castle to face the sea, the gods destroyed it.

Refusing to return Elenei to the sea, King Durran persisted building larger and more powerful fortifications, until finally, the seventh castle stayed in place and resisted the storms of Shipbreaker Bay. Some believe this is because the children of the forest took a hand in its construction; others believe that a young boy who grew up to be Bran the Builder advised Durran on its construction. The truth of the matter is unknown.

Appearance and Character

Elia Martell was said to be beautiful,

History

Early years

Elia Martell was the fourth child and first daughter born to the ruling Princess of Dorne, and the second child to live past infancy. She was born a month premature, and her older brother Doran did not expect her to live, when he learned about her birth; she survived, however, though her health was always fragile thereafter.

When Elia reached the age of marriage, she and her brother Oberyn, together with their mother and their mother's consort, traveled from Dorne to several potential suitors for both Elia and Oberyn. Amongst the places they visited were Starfall, the Arbor, Oldtown, the Shield Islands, Crakehall, and finally Casterly Rock. Oberyn mocked all Elia's suitors. In Oldtown, Elia met Baelor Hightower, whom she liked most of all her suitors. She had been half in love with him, until he farted in the presence of both her and Oberyn, leading to Oberyn naming him "Baelor Breakwind". Elia could not look at him without laughing afterwards.

Elia's mother had known Lady Joanna Lannister from the time they both served as ladies in waiting to Queen Rhaella Targaryen. Despite having learned of Joanna's death in childbirth, in 273 AC, during their stay at Oldtown, the Martells traveled onwards to Casterly Rock. Oberyn Martell believes that his mother had planned with Joanna to marry either Elia or Oberyn to one of Joanna's twins, Jaime and Cersei, since there had been an empty cabin on their ship, meant for someone of high birth. Waiting until it was decent, Elia's mother eventually broached the subject of marriage to Lord Tywin Lannister, first suggesting a match between Cersei and Oberyn, next a match between Elia and Jaime. Tywin refused both matches brusquely, informing her how Cersei was meant to marry Prince Rhaegar Targaryen, and suggesting the new-born Tyrion as betrothed to Elia instead, which was taken as an insult.

Marriage

Several years later, Elia's mother was able to arrange her marriage to Prince Rhaegar. In early 279 AC, Elia and Rhaegar were betrothed. They married a year later, in 280 AC, in a great ceremony at the Great Sept of Baelor in King's Landing.

Their marriage — though not romantic — seemed happy, although Elia's health, which had always been problematic, remained fragile.

Elia attended the tourney at Harrenhal in 281 AC, during the year of the false spring, together with her husband, Prince Rhaegar, and her father-in-law, King Aerys II Targaryen. Rhaegar won the tournament, and was to crown the queen of love and beauty. However, he passed over Elia, and crowned Lady Lyanna Stark of Winterfell instead.

Robert's Rebellion

Main article: Robert's Rebellion

Elia's elder brother the Prince of Dorne, Doran Martell, had been furious at Elia's mistreatment, and thus was slow to lend aid to House Targaryen during the war. Preparing to battle the rebels, King Aerys II Targaryen threatened Elia's uncle, Prince Lewyn Martell of the Kingsguard, gracelessly reminding him that he held Elia and her young children. Lewyn took control of the ten thousand Dornishmen who had eventually been sent to aid the Targaryens, and accompanied Elia's husband, Rhaegar, to fight in the battle of the Trident. Lewyn and Rhaegar both died at the Trident, and King Aerys, due to his paranoia, believed that Prince Lewyn must have betrayed Rhaegar during the battle. As a consequence, he kept Elia and both of her children in King's Landing as hostages against possible Dornish betrayal.

Prince Rhaegar and Princess Elia's final goodbye, by Denkata5698 ©.

For most of the rebellion, House Lannister had remained neutral, but after the battle of the Trident, Lord Tywin Lannister and twelve thousand of his westermen approached the capital. King Aerys opened the gates to them, mistaking them for allied reinforcements. Instead they began to sack the city in the name of King Robert.

Consequences to Elia's murder

Although Ser Gregor Clegane involvement is common knowledge at Casterly Rock,

However, according to Tywin Lannister himself, he thought the deaths of Elia's children had been necessary to prove the loyalty of House Lannister to the rebel cause after his neutrality, so he directly ordered them killed. Tywin claims, however, that he had never ordered the rape, and that Elia, by herself, had been nothing, stating that her death had been unnecessary. He claims that he most likely had neglected to mention her when giving orders to Gregor Clegane, and that Clegane had killed her because he had not explicitly been told by Tywin to spare her.

The Martells were enraged by the murder of Elia and her children. Oberyn wanted to continue the war and champion the cause of Prince Viserys Targaryen, the only surviving son of King Aerys II Targaryen. Secret messages were sent, but the new Hand of the King, Lord Jon Arryn, travelled to Sunspear, where he returned the body of Prince Lewyn Martell, and spoke with Prince Doran, ending all talks of war.

Princess Elia's last moments, by Achen089 ©.

Daenerys: ... that was the tourney when he crowned Lyanna Stark as queen of love and beauty! Princess Elia was there, his wife, and yet my brother gave the crown to the Stark girl, and later stole her away from her betrothed. How could he do that? Did the Dornish woman treat him so ill?
Barristan: It is not for such as me to say what might have been in your brother’s heart, Your Grace. The Princess Elia was a good and gracious lady, though her health was ever delicate.
