House Thorne

House Thorne^[1]^[e] is a vassal house to House Targaryen. It is located within the Crownlands and holds fealty directly to the elected monarchs of the Six Kingdoms.

Members[]

Ser {Rickard Thorne}, a knight of the Kingsguard of Aegon II Targaryen.
Ser {Alliser Thorne}, a sworn brother of the Night's Watch, former master-at-arms of Castle Black and First Ranger. Executed for mutinying against Lord Commander Jon Snow.

In the books[]

As a vassal house sworn to King's Landing, House Thorne contributed troops to the defense of the city during the Sack of King's Landing. Ser Alliser Thorne was on the walls when the Lannister troops stormed the Red Keep. He was wounded and captured; Tywin gave him the choice between taking the black or being executed, and he chose the former.

Nothing else is known about the house, save its arms - a silver flail on a red background - and the fact that it still exists.

A historical member of the house is Ser Rickard Thorne, a knight of the Kingsguard who served during the reign of King Viserys I, and chose to side with King Aegon II during the Dance of the Dragons.

Notes[]

↑ ^1.0 ^1.1 In "Winter Is Coming," which takes place in 298 AC, Sansa Stark tells Cersei Lannister that she is 13 years old and Bran Stark tells Jaime Lannister that he is 10 years old. Arya Stark was born between Sansa and Bran, making her either 11 or 12 in Season 1. The rest of the Stark children have been aged up by 2 years from their book ages, so it can be assumed that she is 11 in Season 1. Arya is 18 in Season 8 according to HBO, which means at least 7 years occur in the span of the series; therefore, each season of Game of Thrones must roughly correspond to a year in-universe, placing the events of Season 6 in 303 AC.

In "Aegon, First of His Name," Viserys Targaryen states that the maesters divided history into Before and After Conquest following Aegon I Targaryen's coronation in Oldtown; therefore, Aegon's Conquest began in 2 BC and ended in 1 AC.
