Among the suitors gathered at Storm's End was also Willem Blackwood, a young man from the Bracken family's rival house in the Riverlands. When Rhaenyra turned down his courtship, Jerrel joined the onlookers' laughter and, as Willem withdrew, called him a coward.
Willem answered by drawing his sword. Jerrel did the same and managed to knock him down, but before the duel was over, Willem ran him through and killed him.
