Biography[]
Background[]
Jerrel is a son of Lord Humfrey Bracken of Stone Hedge.[1]
House of the Dragon: Season 1[]
When Rhaenyra Targaryen's tour of the realm reaches Storm's End, he is among the suitors gathered to seek the princess's favor. While a fellow suitor, Willem Blackwood, speaks to Rhaenyra, Jerrel taunts and mocks him and his house. Rhaenyra and the crowd laugh at his comments, and Rhaenyra remarks that she might grow to like Jerrel. This prompts Willem to leave, at which Jerrel calls him a craven, causing the boy to draw his sword. Jerrel draws a dagger in response, and a duel ensues. Though Jerrel initially has the upper hand, knocking Willem to the floor, he is quickly defeated and fatally stabbed in the gut. His father embraces him as he coughs blood and dies.[1]

In the books[]
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels and Fire & Blood, there is no character named Jerrel, either of House Bracken or otherwise. Jerrel may be based on Amos Bracken, another son of Humfrey Bracken who defeated (but did not kill) a Blackwood, Lord Samwell Blackwood, in a duel for Rhaenyra's hand.

Notes[]
- ↑ "King of the Narrow Sea" takes place a year after "Second of His Name," which takes place in 115 AC, as Aegon II Targaryen is said to be three years old and Daemon Targaryen states that he has been gone from King's Landing for four years.
