Simon Toyne was the leader of the Kingswood Brotherhood, an outlaw group active during the reign of King Aerys II Targaryen.

History

Simon was a member of House Toyne, a family that had fallen into disgrace after altercations with House Targaryen. Under Simon's leadership, the Kingswood Brotherhood achieved no small measure of infamy as they kidnapped various nobles and evaded capture. At one point Simon entered the tourney at Storm's End as a mystery knight where he was unhorsed by Prince Rhaegar Targaryen. Ultimately, Simon was killed by Ser Barristan Selmy after the Kingsguard was sent to crush the Brotherhood.^[2]
