Alysanne Blackwood, known as Black Aly, was a member of House Blackwood who became Lady of Winterfell.
History
During the Dance of the Dragons, the Blackwoods sided with the blacks. Black Aly, the aunt of Lord Benjicot Blackwood,[1] commanded archers of the riverlands during the Battle of the Kingsroad. After Bloody Ben broke the flank of Lord Borros Baratheon's royalist greens, Black Aly's archers slew the royalist knights.[2] The Lads then advanced on King's Landing.
During the Hour of the Wolf, Lord Cregan Stark of Winterfell briefly served as Hand of the King and dispensed justice after the death of King Aegon II Targaryen. Aly agreed to marry Cregan in exchange for allowing Aegon's prior pardon of Lord Corlys Velaryon to stand.[3] She had four daughters, Sarra, Alys, Raya, and Mariah Stark.[4]
