Ser Alan Beesbury was a knight from House Beesbury during the Dance of the Dragons.[1] He was the heir of his grandfather, Lord Lyman Beesbury.[2]

History

Alan's grandsire, Lord Lyman Beesbury, was the first to die during the Dance of the Dragons, although his cause of death is disputed.[4] Thus making Alan the new Lord of Honeyholt even though Alan didn't know it at the time. Indeed, Alan believed that his grandfather languished in the black cells, and loudly called for his release.[2] Because Lyman's murderers were greens who supported King Aegon II Targaryen, Alan supported Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen and the blacks.

Alan and Lord Alan Tarly harassed the host of Lord Ormund Hightower after it departed Oldtown. Along with Lord Owen Costayne, the two Alans fought Ormund's army along the banks of the Honeywine, trapping the greens with a second army of blacks led by Lord Thaddeus Rowan and Tom Flowers. Lord Hightower's lines started to crumble and defeat seemed all but a foregone conclusion. However, Prince Daeron Targaryen joined the Battle on the Honeywine upon his dragon, Tessarion, turning the battle for the greens. Both Alans were captured after the battle.[2]

We do not know what happened to Alan after the battle. A Lord Beesbury was part of the High Septon's escort to King's Landing for the wedding of King Aegon III Targaryen and Queen Jaehaera Targaryen in 131 AC.[5] Alan may have been this Lord Beesbury.
