Willem Blackwood

Willem Blackwood is a member of House Blackwood during the reign of Viserys I.
==Biography==
===Background===
Willem is a member of House Blackwood of Raventree Hall. His exact relationship to the main branch is unknown; only that he is the great-great-grandson of Lord Lucas Blackwood.
===House of the Dragon: Season 1===
When Rhaenyra Targaryen's tour of the realm reaches Storm's End, Willem is among the suitors gathered to seek the princess's favor, though the princess is skeptical due to his youth. He cites the long relationship between House Blackwood and House Targaryen, and his house's deep roots in Westeros. Meanwhile, an older suitor, Jerrel Bracken, taunts and mocks him and his house. Rhaenyra seems to prefer Jerrel to Willem, so Willem turns to leave, stung by the princess's rejection. As he leaves, Jerrel calls him a craven, prompting him to draw his sword, followed by Jerrel drawing a dagger, and a duel ensues. Though Jerrel initially has the upper hand, knocking Willem to the floor, Willem soon defeats and fatally stabs Jerrel in the gut. As Jerrel dies, Willem stumbles back and begins to vomit.
==In the books==
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels and Fire & Blood, there is no character named Willem Blackwood. He may be based on Lord Samwell Blackwood, who lost a duel (but was not killed) to Amos Bracken for Rhaenyra's hand.
