An unidentified Martell rules over Dorne after the defeat of Ellaria Sand, whose coup resulted in the deaths of Doran and Trystane Martell.
Biography
Season 8
By the time the Battle of Winterfell was over, an unnamed Martell managed to take control of Dorne and become the new Prince of Dorne. While planning for the ongoing war against Cersei, Varys mentions that the prince has pledged his support to Daenerys Targaryen.[1]
The prince is present at the Dragonpit during the trial of Tyrion Lannister, which takes place weeks after the assassination of Daenerys Targaryen. He consents to electing Bran Stark as the Lord of the Six Kingdoms after Tyrion proposes it.[2]
Behind the scenes
The aforementioned Prince of Dorne is not identified by name or House in the series, but he wears the colours and the sigil of House Martell. The actor, Toby Osmond, specifically researched and emulated Prince Oberyn Martell for the role and reports appeared during production, stating that he was playing a younger brother of Doran and Oberyn Martell.[3]
A letter bearing the sun symbol of House Martell can also be seen in "The Last of the Starks", when Varys mentions the arrival of the Golden Company to King's Landing.
Going by the book series, the Prince could possibly be Manfrey Martell (Doran's cousin) or Quentyn Martell (Doran's other son), but these characters were never introduced in the TV series. The unidentified prince may also be a character exclusive to the TV continuity.
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Dorne is still ruled by Prince Doran of House Martell.
As of now, it is impossible to say whether the unnamed show character has an equivalent in the books, as too little information has been given on him.
