Jack Musgood, known earlier as Jolly Jack and later as Sleepy Jack, was a member of House Musgood who rose to become Lord Commander of the Night's Watch.

History

Under Jack's watch, King-Beyond-the-Wall Raymun Redbeard and his free folk host slipped past the Wall and headed south. This drew the forces of House Umber and House Stark to Long Lake, where Raymun and Lord Willam Stark were killed in battle. The Night's Watch arrived too late to participate in the battle and were ordered by Artos Stark to dispose of the dead. This series of events led Sleepy Jack to earn his nickname.

The known world and the location of the Jade Gates

The Jade Gates is a narrow strait which connects the Summer Sea and the Jade Sea, separating the great city of Qarth on the southern coast of Essos from the island of Great Moraq. The Cinnamon Straits is a similar passageway south of Great Moraq.

The Jade Sea is a large body of water located in the far east of the explored world, beyond the Jade Gates, which separate it from the Summer Sea.

Contents

Geography

The Jade Sea is located east of the Summer Sea and south of Essos. It is divided from the Summer Sea by the large island Great Moraq, the Cinnamon Straits, and the Jade Gates with the isle of Qal. Also near the Jade Gates are the southern reaches of the Bone Mountains.

Yi Ti is located in a forested stretch along the northern Jade Sea, while the Shadow Lands are to the east. The eastern Jade Sea transitions into the Saffron Straits, which separate the Shadow Lands in eastern Essos from Ulthos. It is unknown how much of the Jade Sea borders Sothoryos to the southwest.

Aside from Great Moraq and Qal, other islands in the Jade Sea include the Isle of Whips in the northwest, the Isle of Elephants in the southwest, Marahai in the center, Leng in the northeast, and the Manticore Isles in the southeast.

There are several cities along the Jade Sea, such as Port Moraq on Great Moraq and Zabhad on the Isle of Elephants. The island of Leng contains Leng Ma, Leng Yi, and Turrani. Mainland Essos includes Asabhad, Yin and Jinqi in Yi Ti, and Asshai at the tip of the Shadow Lands' peninsula.

About

Aside from merchant traders, few from Westeros visit the area and they know little about it save that Asshai and the cities of Yi Ti lie upon its far shores. The Jade Sea is considered an exotic name evoking fable, myth and adventure to those in Westeros.

It takes roughly two years to travel from Pentos to the Jade Sea and back in the best conditions.

Princess Jaehaera Targaryen was the daughter of Aegon II Targaryen and his sister-wife and Queen Helaena Targaryen, and the first wife and queen of her cousin Aegon III Targaryen. Jaehaera had a twin brother, Jaehaerys Targaryen, and a younger brother, Maelor Targaryen. was bound to Jaehaera.

Contents

Appearance and Character

Jaehaera was born tiny and slow to grow. She did not cry or smile or act as babies normally do.

History

Dance of the Dragons

After the death of Prince Lucerys Velaryon, Prince Daemon Targaryen declared vengeance, writing that there would be "an eye for an eye, a son for a son". Jaehaera was present in the Tower of the Hand when Blood slew her twin, Prince Jaehaerys. Prior to the boy's death, as the queen prevaricated, Cheese warned her to make a choice soon, before Blood grew bored and raped Jaehaera.

When Rhaenyra Targaryen's dragons first appeared in the skies above King's Landing, Lord Larys Strong spirited Jaehaera out of the city along with her father, Aegon II Targaryen, and younger brother, Maelor. Larys led them out through a secret passage of Maegor's Holdfast, of which only he had knowledge. Jaehaera was put in the charge of Ser Willis Fell, who swore to bring her safely to Storm's End.

Following the deaths of her parents, brothers, and uncles in the Dance and the victory of the blacks, Jaehaera was married to her cousin King Aegon III Targaryen as part of the peace agreement. Since she was eight years old at the time of the marriage and Aegon was eleven, it was not consummated.

Death

Two years after her marriage, Jaehaera died when she reportedly threw herself from Maegor's Holdfast and was impaled on the spikes of the dry moat below. She lived for a half hour in agony before her death. With her ended the line of the marriage of King Viserys I Targaryen and his second wife, Alicent Hightower.

Jaehaera's death was officially deemed a suicide, akin to that of her mother, Queen Helaena Targaryen. However, many suspected that she had been murdered at the instigation of Lord Unwin Peake, the Hand of the King and one of the seven regents of Aegon III, as Unwin hoped to marry his own daughter to Aegon instead. It was variously suggested that Jaehaera had been murdered by Ser Mervyn Flowers of the Kingsguard, bastard brother of Lord Peake, who had been at her door when she died; or that Mervyn had merely stood aside to allow Tessario the Tiger, a sellsword in Lord Peake's service, to do the deed.

Jaehaerys II Targaryen was a Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and the sixteenth Targaryen king to sit the Iron Throne. He was the second born son of King Aegon V Targaryen and Queen Betha Blackwood..

Contents

Appearance and Character

Jaehaerys was sickly looking, pale and frail with large purple eyes and shoulder-length hair. He wore his grandfather Maekar's crown. He suffered from numerous ailments throughout his life.

History

Early life

Jaehaerys's father, King Aegon V Targaryen, had developed a deep distaste for the Targaryen practice of incestuous marriages and was determined to end the custom. Thus, in 237 AC, Jaehaerys was betrothed to Celia Tully, the daughter of the Lord of Riverrun. However, from a young age, Jaehaerys had been of a more traditional frame of mind, as he was in love with his sister, Princess Shaera. Shaera, in turn, desired him. King Aegon V and Queen Betha observed this and were alerted because of it. They did everything they could to separate the two siblings, yet this only served to inflame their passion.

While Jaehaerys had been betrothed to Celia Tully, Princess Shaera had been betrothed in 237 AC to Luthor Tyrell, the heir to Highgarden.

Thus, in 240 AC, Jaehaerys and Shaera followed in Duncan's footsteps. They eluded their guardians, and secretly wed and consummated the marriage. Aegon despaired over this, but felt he had no choice, as the marriage had been consummated. He was forced to relent to his children's wishes, while at the same time dealing with the anger and wounded pride of both House Tully and House Tyrell.

Following their example, the younger brother of Duncan and Jaehaerys, Prince Daeron Targaryen, would later also break his betrothal, meaning all sons of King Aegon V married for love, which the king had only agreed to because he himself had been allowed to do so.

In 244 AC Jaehaerys and Shaera had their first child, a son who they named Aerys. A daughter, Rhaella, followed within the next two years.

While Jaehaerys himself had married for love, he later commanded his son, Prince Aerys, and daughter, Princess Rhaella, to marry each other, despite neither desiring this match. A woods witch, brought to court by Jenny of Oldstones, prophesied that the prince that was promised would be born from their line.

Reign

Jaehaerys ascended the throne at the age of thirty-four. Despite his young age, his reign would be short, lasting only three years.

The most notable event that occured in his reign was the War of the Ninepenny Kings. The conflict had been brewing for some time.

Due to his delicate health, Jaehaerys was considered weak by many, but Ser Barristan Selmy, whom he raised to the Kingsguard,

In the Great Pyramid's audience chamber, when Admiral Groleo's severed head is presented to King Hizdahr zo Loraq, Ser Barristan glances toward the throne, having served so many kings he cannot help but imagine how they might have reacted to this provocation, he thinks that even Jaehaerys, reckoned weak by many, would have ordered the arrest of Bloodbeard and the Yunkish slavers.

Jaehaerys I Targaryen, also known as the Conciliator, the Wise or the Old King, was the fourth Targaryen king to sit the Iron Throne. He ascended the throne in 48 AC following the death of his uncle, Maegor I Targaryen. Jaehaerys was the longest reigning Targaryen monarch, sitting on the throne for fifty-five years. He was a dragonrider, riding Vermithor, the largest dragon after Balerion and Vhagar.

Contents

Appearance and character

According to a semi-canon source, Jaehaerys had the purple eyes and silver hair of the Targaryens. He looked wise and dignified even into his later years, with a long white flowing beard reaching to his waist. Even at an old age, Jaehaerys still stood unstooped.

Jaehaerys was a gifted horseman and a decent warrior, skilled with both lance and bow. Above all, he was wise beyond his years. Decisive in both thought and deed, he always sought the most peaceable ends.

History

Early life

Jaehaerys was the third son and fourth child of Prince Aenys Targaryen and his wife, Lady Alyssa Velaryon.

Followers of the Faith of the Seven began an uprising after King Aenys I married Jaehaerys's two eldest siblings, Rhaena and Aegon, to one another in 41 AC. After Poor Fellows scaled the walls of the Red Keep in an attempt to murder the royal family, Jaehaerys fled with his parents and siblings to Dragonstone.

Following Aenys's cremation,

In 47 AC, Maegor forced three widows of proven fertility to marry him in one ceremony. One of these Black Brides was Jaehaerys's eldest sister, Rhaena. Still without a child of his own, Maegor officially disinherited Jaehaerys and proclaimed Rhaena's daughter Aerea as his heir.

Early Reign

Following Maegor's mysterious death in 48 AC, Jaehaerys was crowned by the High Septon with his father's crown.

Although Jaehaerys had received support from the Faith of the Seven, the issues between the Faith and House Targaryen were not yet solved. About a decade into his reign, he became acquainted with Septon Barth, a brilliant man of common birth who tended to the books and records in the Red Keep's library. Jaehaerys soon named him Hand of the King, a position he kept for forty years. With these agreements, the rift between the crown and the Faith was healed.

Besides dealing with the Faith, Jaehaerys and Barth worked together to further reform the realm. Jaehaerys created the first unified code of law, ordered drains and sewers and wells constructed in King's Landing, as Barth was convinced that fresh water and flushing away of offal and waste were important to the health of the city, and constructed the kingsroad.

Jaehaerys was known for his love of travel. The king and queen were known to stay at the inn at the crossroads during their journeys, so much so that afterwards it was renamed the Two Crowns.

Abundance of heirs

Jaehaerys was married to his sister, Alysanne. She is considered to have been his great love, and their marriage was a happy one. They had thirteen children, though only nine lived to adulthood.

Baelon remained Jaehaerys's heir until his death in 101 AC, at which point Jaehaerys called the first Great Council, to decide the line of succession for the throne with help from the lords of the realm. In the end, Baelon's eldest son, Prince Viserys, was named Prince of Dragonstone.

Late Reign

The great tourney is held in King's Landing in 98 AC to celebrate Jaehaerys 50th year on the Iron Throne - by Marc Simonetti ©

In 98 AC, a great tourney was held in King's Landing to celebrate King Jaehaerys's fiftieth year on the Iron Throne. All of Jaehaerys's living children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren were present. In the final tilt, Ser Ryam Redwyne and Ser Clement Crabb broke thirty lances against each other before King Jaehaerys proclaimed them co-champions, in what is often called the finest display of jousting in Westerosi history.

However, the final years of Jaehaerys's reign were also filled with great tragedies for the King. In 99 AC, Jaehaerys's close friend and Hand of the King, Septon Barth, died. He was replaced as Hand by Ser Ryam Redwyne, the Lord Commander of the Kingsguard. However, although he was a great knight, Ser Ryam proved most unsuited for the office, and held the office less than a year. Jaehaerys replaced Ser Ryam as his Hand with his son Baelon. Following Baelon's sudden death in 101 AC, Ser Otto Hightower was named Hand of the King. Also in 99 AC, Jaehaerys's youngest daughter, Gael, died, having drowned herself in the Blackwater. Grieving for her most beloved daughter, Queen Alysanne died less than a year later.

The deaths of Alysanne and Baelon especially reduced Jaehaerys to a shell of the man he had once been.

At the age of sixty-nine, Jaehaerys died in 103 AC. His body was cremated in the Dragonpit and his ashes were interred with Alysanne's ashes beneath the Red Keep. His realm mourned, as did Dorne.

In 129 AC, Jaehaerys's grandson Viserys entertained his grandchildren with a fictional tale[N 2] of Jaehaerys and his dragon defeating a vast host of wildlings, giants, and wargs at the Wall.

Legacy

Jaehaerys was the longest-ruling Targaryen monarch, having ruled for fifty-five years. Because of this, he is referred to as the "Old King". His reign is remembered as the most prosperous period in the history of the Targaryen monarchy. His rule brought peace, stability, and justice to the Seven Kingdoms. Jaehaerys is possibly the best king that Westeros ever saw, and is regarded as such by many historians and laymen.

Jaehaerys's grandson and successor, Viserys I Targaryen, wore Jaehaerys's crown. When Viserys died in 129 AC, his eldest son, Aegon, ascended the throne instead of Viserys's proclaimed heir, Rhaenyra, which was the start of the war known as the Dance of the Dragons. Ser Steffon Darklyn of the Kingsguard and his retainers defected to Rhaenyra's faction at Dragonstone. With them, they brought the crown Jaehaerys I and Viserys I had worn. Prince Daemon Targaryen, Rhaenyra's husband and uncle, used this crown during Rhaenyra's coronation.

At the Wall, Samwell Tarly recalls that there were dragons there two hundred years ago; Queen Alysanne had visited Castle Black on her dragon, and Jaehaerys, her king, had come after her on his own.

Cersei Lannister recalls that when she was a child, she once drew a picture of herself and Prince Rhaegar Targaryen flying on the back of a dragon, but when her brother Jaime found it, she told him it was a picture of Alysanne and Jaehaerys.

When talking to Queen Regent Cersei about having King Tommen Baratheon rearm the Faith, the new High Septon asks her if Jaehaerys the Conciliator had once sworn upon the Iron Throne itself that the crown would always protect and defend the Faith. Cersei thinks to herself that she has no idea what Jaehaerys might have sworn.

Outside Riverrun, Lady Genna Lannister makes it known to Jaime Lannister how she feels about Queen Cersei rearming the Faith, she reminds Jaime that King Jaehaerys agreed to pardon all those who would set aside their swords.

During their travels in the riverlands Septon Meribald tells Brienne of Tarth and her companions some of the history of the inn at the crossroads. He tells them the inn was raised during the reign of the first Jaehaerys, and that Jaehaerys and his queen slept there during their journeys, and for a time, the inn was known as the Two Crowns in their honor.

Quotes about Jaehaerys I

He was nine-and sixty at his death, and had ruled wisely and well for five-and-fifty years. Westeros mourned, and it was claimed that even in Dorne men wept and women tore their garments in lament for a king who had been so just and good. His ashes were interred with that of his beloved, the Good Queen Alysanne, beneath the Red Keep. And the realm never saw their like again.

Appearance and Character

Jaehaerys was larger and healthier than his twin, but he was also born with six fingers on his left hand, and six toes on each foot.

History

Early life

Prince Jaehaerys was born in the year 123 AC, barely a year after his parents had wed. The greens at the court of King Viserys I Targaryen were happy to proclaim that Prince Aegon Targaryen now had heirs of his own. A dragon egg was placed in Jaehaerys's cradle, and as well one in the cradle of his twin sister, Jaehaera. Both eggs soon hatched, and for Jaehaerys, the dragon Shrykos was born.

That same year, two of Jaehaerys' half-siblings were born: a boy, whose mother was a whore on the Street of Silk, and a girl, whose mother was a maidservant of Jaehaerys's grandmother, Alicent Hightower. In 127 AC, Jaehaerys's trueborn brother Maelor was born.

In 129 AC, on the third day of the third moon, Jaehaerys, his sister Jaehaera, his brother Maelor, and their mother, Princess Helaena Targaryen, went to visit their grandfather, Viserys I. There, Jaehaerys listened to the story Viserys told, about their great-great-grandsire, King Jaehaerys I Targaryen, Jaehaerys's namesake, and how he had flown north of the Wall on his dragon to fight against wildlings, giants, and wargs.

The Dance of the Dragons

At the death of King Viserys I Targaryen, Jaehaerys and his twin were six years old. With Aegon II Targaryen crowned king, Jaehaerys became the heir to the throne. At the start of the Dance of the Dragons, Jaehaerys's uncle, Prince Aemond Targaryen, killed Lucerys Velaryon, the second son of Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen. Prince Daemon Targaryen declared vengeance, writing that there would be "An eye for an eye, a son for a son."

Sometime thereafter, two men, remembered as Blood and Cheese, snuck into the chambers of Dowager Queen Alicent Hightower in the Tower of the Hand. As was her custom, Queen Helaena Targaryen took her three children to visit their grandmother at dusk, before they went to bed. Once Helaena entered the chambers with Jaehaerys, Jaehaera, and Maelor, Blood barred the door and slew Helaena's guardsman while Cheese snatched Maelor. Cheese told Helaena that they were two "debt collectors", and asked which her sons she wanted killed. The queen offered herself but the two killers refused, telling he that it had to be a son, a boy. The weeping Helaena eventually named her youngest child, two-year-old Maelor. The grinning Blood slew Prince Jaehaerys instead, striking off the boy's head with a single blow from his sword. The two men did no further harm to either Jaehaera and Maelor, fleeing with Jaehaerys's head in hand.

Prince Jaehaerys Targaryen was the fourthborn son of King Aerys II Targaryen and Queen Rhaella Targaryen.

History

Jaehaerys's birth 274 AC seemed to abate the madness that was rising in King Aerys II Targaryen, who was so joyful he seemed to become as he had been in his youth. Jaehaerys died later in the same year, though, causing Aerys to despair. The rageful king blamed the prince's death on his wet nurse and had her beheaded.

Later deciding that the royal mistress, the daughter of a household knight, had poisoned his son, Aerys tortured the girl and her family to death. The entire family admitted to the murder, though their confessions differed greatly. This led to Aerys fasting for a fortnight, making a walk of repentance, and praying with the High Septon, before announcing that he would remain loyal to Queen Rhaella Targaryen.

Jaime went to Crakehall at the age of eleven, and spent four years squiring for Lord Sumner Crakehall,

Raised to Knighthood and to the Kingsguard

At the age of fifteen, Jaime participated in the campaign against the Kingswood Brotherhood, during which he saved Lord Sumner Crakehall from Big Belly Ben and crossed swords with the psychotic Smiling Knight. After the brotherhood had been defeated, Jaime was knighted on the battlefield by Ser Arthur Dayne, a member of the Kingsguard of King Aerys II Targaryen.

Now a knight, Jaime was to return to Casterly Rock. He decided to stop in King's Landing on route, to visit his sister, from whom he had been separated for years. There, Cersei informed him that their father, Lord Tywin Lannister, intended to betroth him to Lysa Tully, and had gone as far as inviting Lord Hoster to King's Landing, to discuss the dower. Cersei suggested that Jaime become a member of the Kingsguard instead, replacing the recently-deceased Ser Harlan Grandison. Though this would require Jaime to give up his claim to Casterly Rock and his position as Tywin's heir, it would allow him to be close to Cersei and free himself of the unwanted marriage to Lysa. After a night of passionate sex, he gave his consent to Cersei's plan. While the siblings expected Tywin to oppose it, Cersei claimed he could not openly object. She promised to do the rest, and a month later, Jaime received news at Casterly Rock that he had been chosen for the Kingsguard, and was to present himself to the king during the grand tourney at Harrenhal, where he would say his vows and don his cloak.

Jaime was raised to the Kingsguard by its Lord Commander, Ser Gerold Hightower, in a ceremony at Harrenhal in 281 AC, making him the youngest knight ever to be raised to the order. and nothing further came of the king's suspicions.

By being raised to the Kingsguard, Jaime gave up his claim to Casterly Rock.

Serving in the Kingsguard

Ser Jaime Lannister, by John Picacio ©.

Raised to the knightly order in 281 AC, Jaime served in King Aerys II Targaryen's Kingsguard for two years. Jaime grew more and more disillusioned, witnessing the Mad King's growing insanity and tendency for burning men alive.

Robert's Rebellion

Following the deaths of Brandon and Rickard Stark, Lord Jon Arryn refused to obey Aerys II Targaryen's order to send the heads of Eddard Stark and Robert Baratheon, starting a war that would become known as Robert's Rebellion.

Aerys grew aroused by burning people, and the night Chelsted was burned, Aerys visited the chambers of his wife. Jaime and his sworn brother, Ser Jonothor Darry, stood guard outside Queen Rhaella's bedchamber while Aerys raped her, listening to her cries. When Jaime, feeling conflicted, eventually commented to Jonothor that they were sworn to protect the queen as well, Jon replied, "but not from him."

Shortly after, Prince Rhaegar Targaryen left the Red Keep to face the rebels on the Trident. The day the prince left, Jaime begged Rhaegar to take him along, suggesting one of the other Kingsguard knights could remain at the king's side instead. Rhaegar refused the suggestion, admitting that King Aerys wanted to keep Jaime close as a hostage against his father, Lord Tywin. Rhaegar promised an angry and disappointed Jaime that changes would be made when he returned from the battlefield,

Kingslayer

Jaime slays King Aerys II Targaryen, by Michael Komarck ©.

While a rebel army led by Lord Eddard Stark raced towards King's Landing after Rhaegar's death at the Trident, Lord Tywin Lannister appeared first at the gates of the capital with twelve thousand men. His main concerns were that King Aerys II Targaryen would be capable of killing Jaime out of spite, as well as that Jaime himself could do something rash. Though Lord Varys, the master of whisperers, counseled Aerys against opening the gates, the king listened to Grand Maester Pycelle, who told him that his old Hand, Tywin, had come to his defense. As such, the city gates were opened to Tywin and his army, but once inside, Tywin betrayed Aerys and began the Sack of King's Landing.

As the sole Kingsguard remaining in King's Landing, the defense of the Red Keep became Jaime's responsibility. Knowing that he did not stand a chance to defend the castle, he sent a messenger to the king, asking for leave to make terms with the attackers. The messenger came back with the Aerys's order that Jaime should bring him Lord Tywin's head, to prove that he was no traitor. The messenger also informed him that Rossart was with the king, leading Jaime to believe that Aerys was about to command the destruction of the city.

Jaime killed Rossart, who was dressed as a common soldier and hurrying to a postern gate. When the king in the throne room saw the blood on Jaime's sword, he demanded to know whether it was Tywin's, renewing his command that Jaime should bring him his father's head, otherwise Jaime would burn with all the other traitors. When Jaime answered that it was Rossart's blood, the frightened Aerys ran towards the Iron Throne. Jaime hauled him off the steps, and killed his king with a single slash across the throat, thereby preventing him from giving the command to burn the city to some other pyromancer.

Jaime sits on the Iron Throne, by Michael Komarck ©.

Lord Tywin's men, led by Ser Elys Westerling and Lord Roland Crakehall, burst into the throne room in time to see that Jaime had killed the king, forestalling any chance for Jaime to steal away and let someone else claim responsibility. Jaime told them to advise all who were still fighting that the king was dead and to spare anyone who yielded. Lord Crakehall then asked whether a new king should be proclaimed as well, indicating that it could be Lord Tywin or Robert Baratheon or that even a new Targaryen king could be proclaimed. Jaime mused on the possibility of choosing Viserys or Rhaegar's son, Aegon, as the new king with Tywin as his Hand, but, realising that both boys shared the same blood as Aerys and thus the same propensity for madness, Jaime declared to Lord Crakehall that it was all the same to him. He then seated himself on the Iron Throne, waiting to see who would come to claim it. He was found sitting there with his golden sword across his legs when Lord Stark rode into the hall with his men to claim the throne for Robert. Jaime gave up the throne to Eddard, proclaiming it to be an uncomfortable seat.

In the following days, Jaime secretly hunted down and killed the two other pyromancers involved in Aerys's wildfire plot, Belis and Garigus. His true motivation for killing King Aerys remains unknown to the masses.

Reign of Robert I Baratheon

Jaime was part of the honor guard that brought Cersei to King's Landing for her wedding to Robert I Baratheon. Cersei and Robert were married in 284 AC,

Jaime and Cersei would have three children: Joffrey, born in 286 AC, Myrcella, born in 289 AC, and Tommen, born in 290 AC.

One day, Jaime and his brother Tyrion, thirteen years of age at the time, while on a nightly ride from Lannisport to Casterly Rock, came upon a fourteen year old girl called Tysha, who was being followed by outlaws. While Jaime pursued the men, Tyrion took the girl to an inn. The two ended up sleeping together, the first time for both. Tyrion fell in love and secretly married the orphaned daughter of a crofter. After a fortnight, however, Lord Tywin learned about the marriage. He instructed Jaime to lie to Tyrion, and claim that he had staged the whole affair, including the outlaws, because he had thought his brother finally needed a woman. Jaime was further ordered to tell Tyrion that Tysha was, in fact, a whore, for whom Jaime had paid double because she was still a maiden. Lord Tywin advised Jaime that all Tysha wanted was the gold of the Lannisters, which made her no better than a whore, so it would not even be a lie, predicting that Tyrion would thank his brother later in life. Jaime did as bid.

Following Greyjoy's Rebellion in 289 AC, Jaime took part in the tourney at Lannisport, where he broke nine lances against Ser Jorah Mormont. Robert eventually rewarded the victory to Jorah.

After the death of their foster-father, Lord Jon Arryn, King Robert I Baratheon travels north to visit Lord Eddard Stark at Winterfell and persuade him to become Jon's successor as Hand of the King. Jaime is chosen by Robert as Jon's successor as Warden of the East rather than Jon's son, young Lord Robert Arryn, who would have been the traditional appointee.

While at Winterfell, Jaime and Cersei attend the feast given by House Stark. Later, they are caught having sex in the First Keep by Bran Stark. Bran is shocked and almost falls from the tower. Jaime pulls him up and then throws him out of the window, intending to kill him to keep the affair a secret.

Ned accepts Robert's invitation to be Hand, and in King's Landing he begins investigating the death of Jon Arryn.

During the Hand's tourney, Jaime wears his golden armor beneath his white cloak.

Meanwhile, Catelyn Stark, Lady of Winterfell, captures Jaime's brother Tyrion on suspicion of involvement in a botched assassination attempt on Bran Stark.

A Storm of Swords

Jaime after losing his hand, by mustamirri ©.

In return for Lady Lysa Arryn marrying Lord Petyr Baelish and returning to the king's peace, Lord Tywin Lannister decides to return the title of Warden of the East to Lord Robert Arryn from Jaime.

Catelyn Stark, acting on her own, releases Jaime from Riverrun in an attempt to make an unofficial exchange for her daughters. Along with his cousin and fellow captive Ser Cleos Frey, and Catelyn's sworn sword, Brienne of Tarth, Jaime begins the journey towards King's Landing. Jaime shaves his head so his golden locks will not be recognized, although he keeps the beard. He thinks he looks five years older, with a paler and thinner face and hollows under his eyes.

The trio evade recapture by Ser Robin Ryger and his party from Riverrun, through Brienne's tactic of dropping boulders onto the chasing boat.

Vargo suspects that his superior, Lord Roose Bolton, is thinking about going over to the Lannisters after their victory over Stannis Baratheon in the Battle of the Blackwater and their new alliance with House Tyrell. To prevent this, Vargo orders Zollo to chop Jaime's sword hand off, thinking that the blame will fall on Roose.

When the Brave Companions threaten to rape Brienne, Jaime advises her to "go away inside". For Jaime, the loss of his hand and with it his fighting ability destroys everything that he was. He falls into a deep depression and loses the will to live. Brienne reminds him that he has something to live for, namely, for his family and for revenge.

While they are held at Harrenhal they share a bath in the bathhouse. Jaime divulges to Brienne the events surrounding the Sack of King's Landing, including King Aerys II Targaryen's wildfire plot.

When Roose leaves Harrenhal to join King Robb at the Twins, Jaime asks him to give Robb his regards. Walton begins the journey to King's Landing with Jaime and a disgraced maester, Qyburn. The latter's task is to keep Jaime healthy. When sleeping on a weirwood stump, Jaime has a dream about Brienne. Moved by this he goes back to Harrenhal and rescues Brienne from Vargo Hoat.

Jaime rescues Brienne, by Marc Simonetti ©

During their travels Jaime and Brienne learn that Robb and Catelyn were killed in the Red Wedding, which was plotted by his father Tywin, Roose Bolton, and Walder Frey. Unbeknownst to Jaime, Roose told Robb that Jaime sent his regards and then stabbed the king. Jaime also learns that his biological son, King Joffrey I Baratheon, died at his own wedding feast.

By the time Jaime arrives in King's Landing, his hair has grown a bit, having become short and bristly.

This turns out to be the last time that Jaime and Cersei share intimate relations, as their relationship begins to fall apart. Jaime has been changed by his imprisonment and prolonged exposure to Brienne's stubborn adherence to a code of honor. Tywin gives him a Valyrian steel blade, crafted out of Eddard Stark's greatsword Ice, but Jaime feels insulted by his father's gift of a sword when he knows how useless he his without his sword hand. He quarrels with his father and refuses to resign from the Kingsguard.

Jaime passes the Valyrian sword, now named Oathkeeper, on to Brienne, tasking her to keep Sansa Stark safe from Cersei and noting the irony of her looking after Sansa with Eddard Stark's own steel. Ensuring that she is equally well provisioned by providing her with gold, a horse and armor, he also provides a letter sealed and signed by King Tommen I Baratheon, declaring she is about the king's business and not to be hindered. The shield she is given is the one he bore from Harrenhal.

Following Joffrey's death, Cersei accuses Tyrion of his murder.

A Feast for Crows

Jaime lets his hair grow out again, as well as his beard,

Jaime remains in King's Landing and stands vigil over Tywin. During the night Cersei visits him again, begging him to accept the office of Hand but once again he refuses. Cersei leaves angrily, stating she was a fool for ever having loved him. In the morning service, the sight of Lord Tywin's rotting body distresses the young King Tommen, who flees, causing Jaime to pursue and comfort him, suggesting he "go away inside" to cope. Jaime suggests that Tommen and Margaery Tyrell be married.

Following the funeral of Tywin, Cersei commands Jaime to leave King's Landing with the intention of resolving the siege of Riverrun. Jaime accepts, on the condition that he is allowed to bring the King's Justice, Ser Ilyn Payne. Riverrun is held by Ser Brynden Tully, and is one of the last strongholds still loyal to the late King Robb Stark. Before he departs the city Jaime has an armorer forge him a hand he can strap to his stump. The new hand, made of solid gold with mother of pearl fingernails, is sturdy and allows Jaime to clumsily strap a shield to his right hand.

Jaime takes Lewys Piper and Garrett Paege, who were made his squires as both of their families fought for House Stark. Lewys names Jaime's new horses Glory and Honor, and they are bedecked in Lannister crimson and Kingsguard white, respectively.

During the journey, Jaime spars with Ilyn during the nights, in order to train himself to fight left-handed. Along the way he stops at Harrenhal, where he installs Ser Bonifer Hasty as castellan and releases the northern prisoners kept there, including Ser Wylis Manderly. He has an angry confrontation with Red Ronnet Connington when he insults Brienne of Tarth.

After departing Harrenhal Jaime stops at Darry where his cousin, Lancel, confesses to having slept with Cersei.

Jaime is met at Riverrun by his cousin, Ser Daven Lannister, the new Warden of the West. He holds a parley with Brynden, but is unsuccessful in convincing the Blackfish to surrender the castle. Ser Ryman Frey, the commander of the Frey forces at Riverrun, has been halfheartedly threatening every day to hang Brynden's nephew, Lord Edmure Tully, but Brynden has remained unfazed.

Jaime sends Ryman back to the Twins and places command of the Frey contingent with his son, Edwyn Frey. Taking Edmure as his own prisoner, Jaime tells Edmure that he is to be released and returned to Riverrun. If he yields the castle, the garrison will be spared and all that wish to join the Night's Watch will be allowed to do so. If he does not surrender, the castle will be sacked and burned, and Jaime will return Edmure's child—by catapult—as soon as his wife Roslin Frey gives birth.

Edmure decides to yield the castle and be taken to Casterly Rock as a prisoner, but not before allowing Brynden to escape by swimming under Riverrun's Water Gate at night. A furious Jaime and sends some of his men to find the Blackfish, but they are unsuccessful.

A Dance with Dragons

Jaime arrives at Raventree Hall, the last holdout of Robb Stark's supporters. The castle is under siege by Lord Jonos Bracken. Jaime finds the state of the siege to be dismal, and hopes to swiftly end it. His arrival is unexpected, and he strides into Bracken's tent while he is with a whore. Jonos fills Jaime in on the situation at hand, and Jaime finds the scene rooted in the age-old feud between Bracken and Blackwood.

Jaimes then treats with Lord Tytos Blackwood, who agrees to bend the knee to King Tommen and rescind his support of the Stark and Tully cause. In return, he must give up some of his lands to Jonos Bracken and send his son Hoster to the Red Keep as a hostage. Because of House Bracken's early support of Robb Stark, however, Jaime also requires Jonos to send one of his daughters to King's Landing as a hostage.

After settling matters at Raventree, Jaime and his men head back to Riverrun. They make camp at Pennytree, where the locals are still wary of travelers and "king's men," and will not allow Jaime's men to enter the holdfast. Jaime decides not to follow the advice of Ser Kennos of Kayce, who recommends that he storm the holdfast. While at Pennytree, Jaime receives an unexpected visit from Brienne of Tarth. She tells Jaime that she has found Sansa, who is a day's ride away. She claims, however, that Jaime must go with her alone or else the Hound will kill the girl.

—Jaime to Catelyn Stark

It was that white cloak that soiled me, not the other way around.

Jaime: Why did you even come to treat with me?

Cersei Lannister, to Eddard Stark

The Kingslayer ... The false knight who profaned his blade with the blood of the king he had sworn to defend.

Barristan Selmy to Cersei Lannister

He was weak from imprisonment, and chained at the wrists. No knight in the Seven Kingdoms could have stood against him at his full strength, with no chains to hamper him. Jaime had done many wicked things, but the man could fight! His maiming had been monstrously cruel. It was one thing to slay a lion, another to hack his paw off and leave him broken and bewildered.

—thoughts of Brienne of Tarth

My brother, Jaime, thirsts for battle, not for power. He's run from every chance he's had to rule.

Tyrion Lannister to Aegon Targaryen

Selmy had never approved of Jaime's presence in his precious Kingsguard. Before the rebellion, the old knight thought him too young and untried; afterward, he had been known to say that the Kingslayer should exchange that white cloak for a black one.

History

Janos was born the son of a butcher in King's Landing. While captain of the Iron Gate, he was raised to Commander of the City Watch of King's Landing, the so-called gold cloaks, after the death of the previous commander, Manly Stokeworth.

During his rule as commander of the gold cloaks, Janos was known for taking bribes and selling positions and promotions. By the end of his tenure, over half the officers were paying him part of their salaries. Lord Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King to Robert I Baratheon, discovered this, and had two men who were willing to come forward to testify against Janos, but both were found dead a short time later. Robert recognized Janos's corruption, but allowed him to remain in his position, arguing his successor might be worse. The king's brother, Lord Stannis, felt Lord Petyr Baelish had convinced Robert to retain Janos.

Janos Slynt by Paul Phillips©

Janos is the Commander of the City Watch of King's Landing when Lord Eddard Stark becomes Hand of the King after the death of Lord Jon Arryn. Before the start of the Hand's tourney, Janos comes before the small council and reports about the disturbances caused by people flooding the city. He asks for more men to keep the peace. Eddard grants Slynt to hire fifty more men and orders the master of coin, Lord Petyr Baelish, to come up with the money to pay them. He also promises Janos twenty men of his own household guards as reinforcement for the time of the tourney.

After King Robert I Baratheon is injured while boar hunting in the kingswood, Eddard plans to proclaim Lord Stannis Baratheon as the new king once Robert has died, implying a likely confrontation with Queen Cersei Lannister, who wants to install her son, Prince Joffrey Baratheon, to the Iron Throne instead. Given the strength of the Lannister force commanded by Cersei, Eddard sees the loyalty of the City Watch as crucial to the success of his plan, so he contacts Petyr, who promises him to buy the loyalty of Janos and his men for six thousand gold pieces.

When Eddard challenge's Joffrey's legitimacy in the throne room and calls on Janos to put Cersei and her children under arrest, Janos betrays him. The gold cloaks begin to murder the Stark household guards, and Janos kills Varly by slashing his throat.

Janos is raised to Lord of Harrenhal for his services to the crown and is named a member of the small council. The appointment of a commoner to such a high position causes resentment among nobles at court.

To avoid Janos undermining his authority with his scheming, to separate him from his ally, Ser Alliser Thorne, and in view of his experience, Jon Snow, now Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, decides to give Janos command of the abandoned way castle Greyguard.

Janos refuses to follow Jon's orders, however, doing so the second time publicly. Jon, sick of Janos's insubordination and knowing either imprisoning him or forcing him to go would only cause further problems, orders that Janos be taken to the top of the Wall and hanged, though the arrogant Janos threatens Tywin Lannister's retribution, unaware that Tywin has died. Jon follows the moral code that Eddard Stark had set his sons, including, "The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword." Jon orders his men to fetch a chopping block so he can carry out the beheading himself, under the laws of the First Men his father had followed. Janos begs for mercy with his head on the block, but Jon quickly beheads him with Longclaw. A watching Stannis Baratheon approves of Jon's decision.

Janos's accusations toward Jon are remembered by some of the men at Castle Black, hampering the new Lord Commander's support.

Stannis: Two men who were prepared to come forward died suddenly on their rounds. Do not trifle with me, my lord, I saw the proofs Jon Arryn laid before the small council. If I had been king, you would have lost more than your office, I promise you that, but Robert shrugged away your little lapses. 'They all steal' I recall him saying. 'Better a thief we know than one we don't, the next man might be worse'. Lord Petyr's words in my brother's mouth, I'll warrant.

—Janos and Stannis Baratheon

Jon: It is forty leagues to Greyguard. Pack up your arms and armor, say your farewells, and be ready to depart at first light on the morrow.
Janos: No. I will not go meekly off to freeze and die. No traitor's bastard gives commands to Janos Slynt! I am not without friends, I warn you. Here, and in King's Landing too. I was the Lord of Harrenhal! Give your ruin to one of the blind fools who cast a stone for you, I will not have it. Do you hear me, boy? I will not have it!

Quotes about Janos

If you cannot keep the king's peace, Janos, perhaps the City Watch should be commanded by someone who can.

Renly Baratheon to Janos

Whose notion was it to make this Janos Slynt a lord? The man's father was a butcher, and they grant him Harrenhal. Harrenhal, that was the seat of kings! Not that he will ever set foot inside it, if I have a say. I am told he took a bloody spear for his sigil. A bloody cleaver would have been my choice.

Tywin Lannister to Tyrion Lannister

Tyrion: Janos Slynt is a butcher's son. You yourself told me—

Tywin: I recall what I told you. Castle Black is not Harrenhal, however. The Night's Watch is not the king's council. There is a tool for every task, and a task for every tool.

Tyrion: Lord Janos is a hollow suit of armor who will sell himself to the highest bidder.

Tyrion Lannister and Tywin Lannister

Bowen: Who better to command the black cloaks than a man who once commanded the gold?
Stannis: Any one of you I would think. Even the cook.

Bowen Marsh and Stannis Baratheon

This so-called Lord of Harrenhal is a butcher's whelp upjumped by the Lannisters. Small wonder he is venal and corrupt.

Denys Mallister to Samwell Tarly

All of a man's crimes were wiped away when he took the black, and all of his allegiances as well, yet he found it hard to think of Janos Slynt as a brother. There is blood between us. This man helped slay my father and did his best to have me killed as well.

Contents

According to Tyrion Lannister, Jaremy has a noble face.

History

Jaremy remained loyal to Aerys II Targaryen during Robert's Rebellion. After the Sack of King's Landing, he was given the choice by Lord Tywin Lannister between the Wall or execution. Both Jaremy and Ser Alliser Thorne joined the Night's Watch.

Recent Events

A Game of Thrones

Ser Jaremy is present when Tyrion Lannister has dinner at Castle Black with Jeor Mormont, the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, and other senior officers.

After First Ranger Benjen Stark goes missing beyond the Wall, Jaremy leads two sweeps in search of him, while Qhorin Halfhand leads another search party going north from the Shadow Tower. Nothing is found except a few blazes in trees that Benjen used to mark his way. The marks stop in the stony highlands to the northwest and all trace of Benjen vanishes.

Jaremy serves as First Ranger in the absence of Benjen. He is present during the swearing-in ceremony for the new members of the Night's Watch at the sept of Castle Black and again when Jon Snow, Samwell Tarly, and others are sworn in at the weirwood grove beyond the Wall.

After the latter ceremony, the bodies of two rangers are found by Ghost and Jaremy identifies them as Othor and Jafer Flowers, who both belonged to Benjen's party. Lord Commander Mormont is displeased that Benjen has not been found and rangers have died close to the Wall, but Jaremy explains he lacks rangers and that the Lord Commander had ordered closer patrols. When they return to Castle Black, Jeor conveys an order to Jaremy through Jon Snow to put the dead men into a storeroom until Maester Aemon is ready to examine them.

At Castle Back, Jafer Flowers rises as a wight and kills five people, including Jaremy. The knight manages to hack the wight's already loose head off with his sword, but is killed nonetheless when the headless wight pulls his dagger from its sheath and thrusts it into Jaremy's bowels.

Jaremy: On the wrong side. I ought to know, I was there on the battlements beside him. Tywin Lannister gave us a splendid choice. Take the black, or see our heads on spikes before evenfall. No offense intended, Tyrion.

Tyrion: None taken, Ser Jaremy. My father is very fond of spiked heads, especially those of people who have annoyed him in some fashion. And a face as noble as yours, well, no doubt he saw you decorating the city wall above the King's Gate. I think you would have looked very striking up there.

Jasper Wylde, called Ironrod, was Lord of the Rain House and head of House Wylde. He was the master of laws during the reign of Viserys I Targaryen, and the civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons.

History

When King Viserys I died in his sleep, on the third day of the third moon in 129 AC, Lord Jasper was called to the small council convened in the queen's chambers by Queen Alicent Hightower and her father, Ser Otto Hightower, Hand of the King; also in attendance was Ser Criston Cole, Lord Commander of the Kingsguard. Where plans are made to crown Alicent's son Prince Aegon, instead of Princess Rhaenyra, who had been named Viserys' heir. With Lord Lyman Beesbury being the only member of the council in support of Rhaenyra, Jasper reminds him of the Great Council of 101 AC, and the Old King Jaehaerys I in choosing Prince Baelon as his heir over Princess Rhaenys in 92 AC. They also discuss at length Aegon the Conqueror and his sister-wives Visenya and Rhaenys, and the hallowed Andal tradition wherein the rights of a trueborn son always came before a mere daughter. When Grand Maester Orwyle questions the council on the fate of those not willing to bend the knee to Aegon, Ironrod's response is that they "are traitors" and "must die a traitor's death".

Jasper was executed as a traitor by Rhaenyra Targaryen when she took King's Landing in 130 AC. He insisted to his death that the Iron Throne goes to a king's son before a daughter.

During the night, the corpses, which are actually reanimated wights, attack the Night's Watch, killing several men, including Ser Jaremy Rykker. Only the timely intervention of Jon and his direwolf, Ghost, prevent the wight Othor from killing Jeor.

A Clash of Kings

Jeor Mormont speaks to his brothers - by Brittmartin ©

After informing Jon his half-brother, Robb Stark, is now King in the North, Jeor has Jon watched again, just in case he heads south to join his brother.

With missing rangers, the dead walking, reports of abandoned wildling villages, huge fires in the night, and Mance gathering free folk, Jeor decides to lead a great ranging beyond the Wall to discover what is going on and to search for the missing Benjen. He takes three hundred men from the Wall and marches north.

At Craster's Keep, Jeor learns that Mance is gathering his people at the Frostfangs, preparing to launch an assault on the Wall. Jeor leads the expedition to the Fist of the First Men, a good defensive position located on Mance's only route to the Wall, and sends out three scouting parties.

A Storm of Swords

While awaiting the return of the final scouting party, the Night's Watch is assaulted on the Fist by wights. The Night's Watch force is broken in the fight at the Fist and Jeor leads the survivors on a grim march back to Craster's Keep.

At Craster's Keep, after being told by Samwell Tarly of his slaying of the lone Other with an obsidian dagger given to Sam by Jon, Jeor discusses dragonglass daggers with Sam and the need to supply the Watch with dragonglass weaponry. However, shortly thereafter Jeor is slain by Ollo Lophand during the mutiny at Craster's Keep. As he lies dying he asks Sam to send word to Jorah Mormont, his dying wish being to forgive his son of his crimes and let him come home to take the black, relieving him of his exile.

Quotes by Jeor

They say the king loved to hunt. The things we love destroy us every time, lad. Remember that.

Jeor: ... Honor set you on the kingsroad... and honor brought you back.

Jon: My friends brought me back.

Jeor: Did I say it was your honor?

Tarly, when I was a lad half your age, my lady mother told me that if I stood about with my mouth open, a weasel was like to mistake it for his lair and run down my throat. If you have something to say, say it. Otherwise, beware of weasels.

- Jeor to Samwell Tarly

And now his watch is ended.

- Jeor regarding Bannen

We never knew! But we must have known once. The Night's Watch has forgotten its true purpose, Tarly. You don't build a wall seven hundred feet high to keep savages in skins from stealing women. The Wall was made to guard the realms of men … and not against other men, which is all the wildlings are when you come right down to it. Too many years, Tarly, too many hundreds and thousands of years. We lost sight of the true enemy. And now he's here, but we don't know how to fight him.

Notes

  1. Jeor states that he has been in the Night's Watch longer than Alliser Thorne (*A Game of Thrones, Tyrion III), who joined the Night's Watch at the conclusion of Robert's Rebellion, implying that Jeor had joined prior to the war's start. While Jeor states that he had been Lord Commander at the time Alliser joined, more recent sources, both canon (A Storm of Swords, Jon I & Jon VIII) and semi-canon (George R.R. Martin's A World of Ice and Fire*) contradict this statement, making at least the fact that he was Lord Commander at the time invalid. It is still likely, however, that Jeor had already joined the Night's Watch at the time.

Jeyne Arryn, also called the Maiden of the Vale, was Lady of the Eyrie and head of House Arryn. She ruled the Vale of Arryn during the Targaryen civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons.

History

Jeyne became Lady of the Eyrie at some point late in the reign of King Jaehaerys I Targaryen, while she was still in her minority.

On the death of Lady Rhea Royce in 115 AC, her husband Prince Daemon Targaryen appealed to Lady Jeyne in the hopes of claiming Runestone for himself. Jeyne not only rejected his claim, but also ordered him to leave the Vale.

At the start of the civil war called the Dance of the Dragons, Prince Jacaerys Velaryon flew north on his dragon Vermax, to foster allies for the cause of his mother, Rhaenyra Targaryen, herself the daughter of Aemma Arryn. One of the places he went to was the Eyrie. There, he treated with Lady Jeyne and made a promise to her. Jeyne brought the Eyrie to the side of the blacks during the civil war. Though snows closed the passes through the Mountains of the Moon, Jeyne sent men by sea by way of Gulltown to join the queen's hosts. When Rhaenyra fled King's Landing following the riot of King's Landing and the storming of the Dragonpit, Ser Harrold Darke of the Queensguard urged her to seek refuge with Lady Jeyne in the Vale. Rhaenyra, however, was determined to return to Dragonstone and refused his council.

Lady Jeyne served as one of the original seven regents to Rhaenyra's eldest surviving son, King Aegon III Targaryen, following the conclusion of the civil war. She died in 134 AC of an illness while at Gulltown.

Contents

History

Early life

The daughter of Alyn Marbrand, Lord of Ashemark, Jeyne was married to Tytos Lannister in 235 AC, in a double ceremony with Tytos's older brother, Ser Tion, marrying Lady Ellyn Reyne.

Lady of Casterly Rock

Tion died the following year, however, leaving the powerful Ellyn a widow. With her influence then waning at Casterly Rock, Ellyn tried to seduce Tytos. He did not go through with the act, but went to Jeyne and confessed it all. Jeyne forgave her husband, but not Ellyn. Jeyne went to Lord Gerold Lannister, who married off Ellyn to Lord Walderan Tarbeck, thereby removing her from Casterly Rock.

Jeyne remained, and gave birth to five children in total. In 242 AC, she birthed Tytos his heir, a boy named Tywin. Two years later, she gave birth to a second son, Kevan, and the year after a daughter, Genna. Jeyne also had another son, Tygett.

Jeyne's reactions to Tytos's rule are not known, nor the reaction to her daughter's early betrothal to Emmon Frey. Giving birth in 255 AC for the fifth time, Jeyne delivered a healthy son, Gerion, but she died within a moon's turn. While Tytos had always been known as the Laughing Lion, after Jeyne's death no one could lay that claim by his feet anymore.

They pin a wolf brooch on her and send her north to wed Roose Bolton's legitimized bastard, Ramsay Bolton, in order to cement their claim to Winterfell. Brienne is shocked, but Jaime explains that with all of Arya Stark's kin believed dead, besides her sister Sansa and half-brother Jon Snow on the Wall, no one will be able to dispute the girl's identity. According to Jaime, the Boltons are aware the girl is a fraud.

The Boltons call upon the northern bannermen to assemble in Barrowton to pledge loyalty to the Iron Throne and attend the wedding of "Arya" to Ramsay Bolton.

Jeyne is forced to marry Ramsay, and pleads with Theon Greyjoy several times before the wedding for him to help her and take her away. When stripped by Theon for the bedding, numerous scars cover Jeyne's back, suggesting she had been whipped. When Ramsay asks her if she knows how to please a man, she replies fearfully that she has had training, implying that she had been kept in one of Baelish's brothels. Ramsay then forces Theon to prepare her sexually for him before he rapes her.

Jeyne spends all her time confined to a tower, and is deeply traumatized by the things Ramsay does to her. The maids who bathe her notice the bruises on her body, and the girl's sobbing is known throughout Winterfell. According to Lady Dustin, the crying of "Arya Stark" is more a danger than the army of Stannis Baratheon. The Freys may not care, but the other northern houses who had served House Stark for generations do, and morale is being damaged from hearing the cries of Eddard Stark's "daughter".

Jeyne Poore, known as Poxy Jeyne Poore, was a leader of the Poor Fellows during the Faith Militant uprising against King Maegor I Targaryen.

Contents

Character

Jeyne is said to have been a savage captain of the Poor Fellows.

History

Following the Faith Militant's defeats in 42 AC in the battles at Stonebridge and the Great Fork of the Blackwater, new leaders arose across the Seven Kingdoms in 43 AC. Among these were Ser Joffrey Doggett in the westerlands and Septon Moon in the riverlands. One of the Faith Militant's most savage captains, however, was Poxy Jeyne Poore, who rose to prominence because the lower order of Poor Fellows could contain both male and female members (unlike the Warrior's Sons, who were all knights). Jeyne led the Poor Fellows in the forested lands between King's Landing and Storm's End, making travel impassable. The forested terrain made Jeyne's cell more difficult to fight than others, and the kingswood was in close proximity to King's Landing.

When Maegor launched a new military campaign against the Faith Militant in 45 AC, he targeted Jeyne's Poor Fellows. Scores of them were hunted down, and any taken alive were hanged if they refused to join the Night's Watch. Poxy Jeyne's ferocity and knowledge of the wooded terrain, however, led to a determined resistance against Maegor's army, and she continued to elude them.

Jeyne was eventually betrayed by three followers who received pardons and knighthoods for turning her over to the king. Three septons with Maegor declared Jeyne to be a witch, and the king ordered her to be burned by the Wendwater. On the day of her execution, however, three hundred Poor Fellows and peasants under the leadership of Ser Horys Hill attempted to rescue Jeyne. Her public execution was a trap to lure out her remaining followers, however, with Maegor's forces waiting and ready for them in an ambush at the Wendwater. The rescuers were surrounded and slaughtered, and Jeyne's execution continued.

After a year of campaigning, Maegor and his army returned to King's Landing in 46 AC in triumph, along with two thousand skulls which he claimed to all have been Faith Militant.

Behind the Scenes

Poxy Jeyne Poore might loosely have been inspired by Joan of Arc, a religiously motivated female warrior, who after being betrayed and captured was declared a witch in order to be burned at the stake.

Fans have further suggested an active involvement of Sybell by providing Robb Stark with a love potion. Sybell's grandmother was "Maggy", a priestess who used to be visited by half of Lannisport for "cures and love potions and the like", according to Kevan Lannister..
