Walys Mooton
On this tab
Walys Mooton was the lord of Maidenpool during the Dance of the Dragons, the civil war that split the realm between the supporters of Rhaenyra Targaryen and those of her half-brother.
As head of House Mooton, he sided with the queen, and that loyalty ended up carrying him far beyond the walls of his own castle.
Retaking Maidenpool
When the Dance of the Dragons broke out, Lord Mooton declared for Rhaenyra. After the battle of Rook's Rest he gathered a hundred of his men to retake his castle, and he did not do it alone: he had the help of the Crabbs, the Brunes of Punta Zarpa Rota, and the Celtigars of Claw Isle.
With that support he managed to retake Maidenpool.

Death
With the castle back in his hands, Walys led his men against the dragon Fuegosol, who was nearby guarded by only a few men. They defeated those guards without trouble, but the dragon proved to be a far tougher enemy than they expected.
In the fight that followed more than half the party died, Walys among them. His body was not found until two weeks later, when his brother Manfryd came upon it and succeeded him as lord of Maidenpool.
