History

Welcome to r/ASOIAF! News and discussions relating to George R. Martin's 'A Song of Ice and Fire' novels, his Westeros-based short stories, 'Game of Thrones' and all things ASOIAF - but with particular emphasis on the written series.

Hundred Kingdoms

According to legend, Jonquil's Pool was where Florian the Fool saw Jonquil for the first time while she was bathing with her sisters.[3]

The Mootons were petty kings in the days of the First Men. The Storm KingMonfryd the Mighty defeated a Mooton king and conquered Maidenpool prior to the coming of the Andals.[5] King Florian the Brave was killed by Andals in the Fall of Maidenpool.[6] The Mootons of Maidenpool were within the domains of Kings Benedict I Justman and King Torrence Teague, although the riverlands eventually passed first to the Storm Kings under King Arlan III Durrandon and then to House Hoare under King Harwyn Hardhand.[6]

Maidenpool historically failed to conquer Crackclaw Point.[7]

Targaryen Era

During Aegon's Conquest Lord Mooton joined Lord Darklyn in opposing Aegon the Conqueror, but both were slain fighting against Aegon's dragons and Orys Baratheon. Lord Mooton's brother, Jon Mooton, then yielded to Aegon. Jon supported the Targaryens in the Field of Fire, slaying men who tried to escape the dragons.[8] Although the Mootons were far wealthier than House Tully, Aegon named Edmyn Tully as Lord Paramount of the Trident after the burning of Harrenhal.[4]

During the Faith Militant uprising, Lord Mooton slew Lord Rupert Falwell in the battle at the Great Fork.[9]

Jonah Mooton, Roy Connington, and Braxton Beesbury were favorites of Princess Saera Targaryen, Perianne Moore, and Alys Turnberry. After a scandal, King Jaehaerys I Targaryen forced Jonah to wed Perianne in 84 AC. Change spline to line string microstation. When Saera disappeared the following year, the king asked Jonah to watch for her in Maidenpool.[10]

The Mootons began the Dance of the Dragons on the side of Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen and the blacks. Lord Walys Mooton led the retaking of Rook's Rest for the blacks, but he was then slain in a failed attempt to kill King Aegon II Targaryen's dragon, Sunfyre. His brother, Lord Manfryd Mooton, hosted the dragonriders Prince Daemon Targaryen and the dragonseed Nettles, for a time. Manfryd aligned with Aegon and the greens after refusing Rhaenyra's order to kill Nettles. Rhaenyra ordered that a decree of attainder be drawn up against the Mootons, but she soon lost power after the Storming of the Dragonpit.[11] Manfryd served as a regent for King Aegon III Targaryen until his death in 134 AC.[12]

When Lord Bloodraven marched on Whitewalls to quash the Second Blackfyre Rebellion, among the river lords who came in support was Lord Mooton.[13]

Barrowton Game Of Thrones

Robert's Rebellion

House Mooton sided with King Aerys II Targaryen against their liege lord, Hoster Tully, the Lord Paramount of the Trident, during Robert's Rebellion.[14] Ser Myles Mooton, who had been Prince Rhaegar Targaryen's squire, was slain by Lord Robert Baratheon at the Battle of the Bells.[15]
