HistoryOn the mapBooks and show
On this tab

Pinkmaiden Castle is the seat of House Piper, in the Riverlands, close to the border with the Westerlands. A rebel prince once used it as his camp, and a king came to visit riding his dragon; generations later, war would cross its gate as well.

Targaryen Era

Aegon Targaryen's Base

Prince Aegon Targaryen turned Pinkmaiden into his base when he rose against his uncle, King Maegor I, whom he branded a usurper before anyone willing to listen. From there he gathered fifteen thousand men ready to follow him.

While the prince marched toward battle beneath the Gods Eye, his wife Rhaena and their daughters stayed behind, waiting for news inside the castle walls.
