In his youth Harwyn raided the Stepstones and visited Free Cities such as Volantis, Tyrosh, Lys, and Braavos. He was a captive in the Basilisk Isles for two years, served as a sellsword in the Disputed Lands, and joined the Second Sons and fought in a number of battles for them.

Harwyn succeeded his father, King Qhorwyn Hoare, even though he was third in line. His eldest brother died of greyscale two years before, and his other brother, Harlan Hoare, died from a fall from a horse. Qhorwyn died six days after his son, and rumours of foul play begun.

Harwyn planned the invasion of the Riverlands, which were, at the time, weakly held by Storm King Arrec Durrandon. The Ironborn landed one hundred longships south of Seagard, and carried them all the way to the Blue Fork.

Ser Samwell Rivers led a small host against him, but was defeated at the Tumblestone. Harwyn then defeated the army of Lady Agnes Blackwood, in part due to the betrayal of Lord Lothar Bracken. Harwyn was, however, impressed by Agnes and offered to make her his salt wife. He executed her after she refused.

Storm King Arrec then met Harwyn in a Battle at Fairmarket. Harwyn was aided by some riverlords, including Lord Lothar Bracken, Theo Charlton, and the lords of houses Goodbrook, Paege, and Vypren. The Durrandons were crushed by the Hoares, and the Storm King's rule over the Riverlands was broken. The rivermen celebrated, as they hoped to regain their independence, but Harwyn took control for himself. Lothar Bracken, who had hoped to be King, rose in rebellion six months later. Harwyn had him starved to death in a crow cage as punishment.

## History

Harwin was granted the favour of Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen during a tourney to celebrate her wedding with Ser Laenor Velaryon. He broke his collarbone and elbow in a joust with Ser Criston Cole during that tourney, causing the fool Mushrooms to thereafter name him Brokenbones. He traveled to Dragonstone with the Princess as her sworn shield in 114 AC.

Harwin died in a fire at Harrenhal alongside his father. Some blamed the legendary curse of Harrenhal for their deaths, whilst others believe that the two men were murdered. Popular suspects include King Viserys I Targaryen, Lord Corlys Velaryon, Prince Daemon Targaryen and Larys Strong.

## Controversy

Due to Harwin's closeness to Princess Rhaenyra there were ellegations that he may be the father of her first three children, Jacaerys, Lucerys and Joffrey Velaryon. These allegations are the reason that Viserys, Daemon and Corlys could have wanted Harwin to meet his death, and why Criston Cole, another rumoured lover of Rhaenyra, may have done him so much damage in the tourney.

## History

The Whents are the seventh noble house to be granted Harrenhal, the six previous houses having died out over thee 300 years since Harrenhal was built. They were raised to Lords of Harrenhal after they helped Maekar defeat the mad Danelle Lothston when she raised her banners in rebellion. They had originally been knights in service to the Lothstons.

Hoster Tully married a lady of House Whent, Minisa Tully. She gave him three children, Lady Catelyn Stark, Lady Lysa Arryn and Ser Edmure Tully. From this we can assume that Minisa doesn't follow the trend of infertility in House Whent, although her daughter, Lysa, might.

The Tourney of Harrenhal was hosted by Lord Walter Whent, who named his daughter the Queen of Love and Beauty. The tourney was won by Prince Rhaegar Targaryen, although four of Lord walter's sons were beaten, as well as his brother, Ser Oswell Whent. This was also the tournament where Rhaegar met Lyanna Stark, where the story of the Knight of the Laughing Tree occurred and where Ashara Dayne was dishonoured, according to Ser Barristan Selmy.

Ser Oswell Whent was a knight of the Kingsguard for Aerys II Targaryen. He served as a mentor to Ser Jaime Lannister, and as a friend to Rhaegar.

But the river lords didn't liked their new overlords, and House Teague was forced to keep hostages of various families at their court. Theo Teague, fourth king of House Teague, was nicknamed the Saddle-sore because he spent most of his reign riding throughout the river lands to quell rebellions.

When King Humfrey I Teague tried to outlaw the worship of the Old Gods, several Houses led by Roderick Blackwood rose in rebellion. The Teagues were close to defeating the rebels, but Roderick sought the aid of his son in-law Arlan III Durrandon, the Storm King and in the climatic Battle of the Six Kings, King Humfrey I, his son and heir Humfrey II, his two other sons Hollis and Tyler Teague and the brother and champion of King Humfrey, Damon Teague, were all killed, extinguishing House Teague in a single afternoon.

Lyonel's son and heir, the powerful Ser Harwin Strong, was a reported lover of Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen. Harwin and Lyonel died in a fire at Harrenhal in 120 AC, meaning that Larys Strong inherited the castle. Larys eventually rose to be the Master of Whisperers for Viserys.

The house had "not-inconsiderable" wealth by the time of the Dance of the Dragons according to Archmaester Gyldayn. Larys sat on the Small council of King Aegon II Targaryen, leaving Ser Simon Strong as castellan of Harrenhal. Simon surrendered the castle when Prince Daemon Targaryen arrived on the back of his dragon, Caraxes. Larys helped to smuggle Prince Maelor Targaryen and Princess Jaehaera Targaryen out of the capital when Rhaenyra moved on the city.

Aegon II refused to surrender to the armies of Lord Kermit Tully when he moved on King's Landing after the Battle of the Kingsroad. As a result the king was poisoned. Lord Cregan Stark accused Larys of conspiring to kill the king, and as a result Larys was executed during the Hour of the Wolf, choosing death over going to The Wall.

He is sometimes referred to as "Harry the Heir" as he is the heir to young Lord Robert Arryn. Petyr Baelish hopes to make Harrold the Lord of the Eyrie and then marry him to Sansa Stark so that Winterfell may be claimed on her behalf.

Petyr Baelish provided Sansa Stark the following information to show how Harrold is Robert Arryn's heir:

Lord Jasper Arryn and his wife had three children: Jon, Alys, and Ronnel

Jon (who became Lord Jon on his father's death) married twice. Sadly both wives died. They had no children.

Alys (now deceased) married Ser Elys Waynwood (uncle of Lady Anya). They had eight girls and one son (named Jasper). Jasper and two of the girls died young. The eldest girl married Ser Denys Arryn.

Ser Ronnel married an unnamed girl from Belmore House. They had one son named Elbert. Ser Ronnel passed away.

Elbert was murdered by Mad King Aerys. Ser Denys died in the Battle of the Bells attempting to avenge his nephew. His wife died of grief and their newborn son died soon after.

Of the five remaining daughters of Alys and Ser Elys one became a Septa; one became a silent sister; one married the Lord of the Paps, but had no children; one was carried off by the Burning Men and never seen again; another married a landed knight sworn to the Waynwoods and had one son, Harrold, and then passed away. Harrold is thus the heir to the Lordship of the Eyrie should something happen to Lord Robert Arryn.
