House of the Dragon: Season 1[]
Beric is among a large group of suitors who have come to Storm's End to ask Rhaenyra Targaryen's hand in marriage. He speaks at length about his castle, Blackhaven, and mentions Queen Alysanne Targaryen. When Rhaenyra rudely jokes about his age, Boremund Baratheon says that her conduct is unseemly. She retorts that it is unseemly for a man older than her father to put himself forward as a marriage candidate.[2]
