Mychal Baratheon

Ser Mychal Baratheon was a knight of King Aenys Targaryen's Kingsguard.
==Biography==
===Background===
Mychal was knighted by Lord Commander Serwyn Errol at the age of 23. At the age of 30, Mychal died preventing an assassination attempt on King Aenys.
===Game of Thrones: Season 1===
He has an entry in The Lineages and Histories of the Great Houses of the Seven Kingdoms, which notes the fact that he, along with all of his ancestors and descendants were born "black of hair".
==In the books==
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, there is no character named Mychal, either of House Baratheon or any other house.
In Season 1 of the TV series, Eddard Stark looks through the pages of The Lineages and Histories of the Great Houses of the Seven Kingdoms, but for the visual medium of television the prop had to be filled in with other pages of writing beyond the sections on Robert and Joffrey that Ned specifically read. Writer Bryan Cogman said that he filled in much of this by simply making up names or using in-jokes - and these aren't strictly canon. On the other hand, some of the details are accurate to the novels, such as information on the Blackfyre Rebellion, do match the already released novels.
One of the entries visible in the book says that one of Orys's sons died preventing an assassination attempt on King Aenys - the prop names this son Mychal Baratheon; this character may be an early inspiration for a very similar character that was created years later in The World of Ice & Fire: a Baratheon by the name of Raymont Baratheon (who was Orys's son, according to Fire & Blood), who served in Aenys's kingsguard. It is unclear if this was behind-the-scenes information that George R.R. Martin shared with Cogman, or if he simply guessed that one of Aenys's Kingsguard may have died fighting off an assassination attempt in the Faith Militant uprising (the details of which weren't specified until some time after Season 1 was produced).
In the print material so far, it is unclear if Raymont Baratheon died defending Aenys during the Faith Militant's attack on the Red Keep.
