Wedding of Rhaenyra Targaryen and Laenor Velaryon
On this tab
The wedding of Rhaenyra Targaryen and Laenor Velaryon was the union, held in 114 AC, between the heir to the Iron Throne and her cousin, son of the Lord of the Tides. The tournament held to celebrate it ended with one knight killed by another, an episode that overshadowed the ceremony from the start.
Wedding and Tournament
Fifteen days before the wedding, Laenor Velaryon was knighted. The ceremony that joined him to Rhaenyra Targaryen followed shortly after, sealing the marriage between the Princess of Dragonstone and her cousin.
The tourney held to celebrate the union turned sour during the joust: Ser Criston Cole struck Ser Joffrey Lonmouth with a morningstar. Lonmouth did not die on the spot, but six days later, from his wounds.
