Lord Samwell Blackwood[1] was the Lord of Raventree Hall and head of House Blackwood during the reigns of Viserys I and Aegon II.
Biography[]
House of the Dragon: Season 1[]
The Small Council discuss a complaint made by Lord Blackwood to the crown that House Bracken is illegally annexing Blackwood lands. They eventually dismiss this as a problem that would be better handled by Lord Grover Tully, the liege lord to the Blackwoods and Brackens. Lyman Beesbury belatedly adds his opinion that the Blackwoods have the upper hand.[2]
House of the Dragon: Season 2[]
Aemond states that Samwell Blackwood was among the many casualties suffered in the Battle of the Burning Mill.[1]
After his death, Samwell is succeeded by his son Benjicot, with his brother, Willem, acting as regent.[3]
Amos Bracken taunts Willem about Samwell's death during his parley with Daemon.[4]
In the books[]
In Fire & Blood, Samwell Blackwood lost a duel with Amos Bracken over Rhaenyra Targaryen's hand (in the show, this duel transpired between Willem Blackwood and Jerrel Bracken). Samwell later succeeded his father as Lord of Raventree.

Notes[]
- ↑ In "A Son for a Son," Daemon Targaryen and Otto Hightower mention that days have passed since Viserys Targaryen and Lucerys Velaryon's deaths. Unlike the first season, no major time jumps are expected; therefore, House of the Dragon: Season 2 takes place in 132 AC.
