Lord Ambrose Butterwell, Lord of Whitewalls was head of House Butterwell during the reigns of Daeron II[2] and Aerys I.

Appearance

Ambrose was roughly fifty years old when he married his second wife from House Frey. He had heavy jowls and thin flaxen hair.[3]

History

Lord Ambrose was master of coin under Aegon IV.[3] He was raised to Hand of the King under Daeron II for a short time but his ability to lead was questioned when his attempt to deal with the burgeoning Blackfyre Rebellion failed miserably.[2] He was replaced by Lord Hayford.[2] During the Blackfyre Rebellion, he sent one son to fight with Daemon Blackfyre and one to fight with Daeron II.[3] Both of them perished, and his youngest son died of the Great Spring Sickness.[3]

Lord Ambrose hosted the Whitewalls tourney to celebrate his marriage to Lady Frey. The winner would receive the dragon egg that had been given to his grandfather. However, the egg was stolen before it could be awarded. After Egg attempted to send a message to his father and tried to use his father's ring to overrule the maester, he was presented to Lord Butterwell. Ambrose recanted his allegiance to House Blackfyre and fled with Lord Frey. Those loyal to the Blackfyres congregated at the tourney and plot to put forth Daemon II Blackfyre as king. However, before anything concrete could be planned, Lord Bloodraven appeared with an army and put an end to the nascent Second Blackfyre Rebellion. Lord Ambrose lost Whitewalls, the house stronghold, and was only allowed to keep a tenth of the house's fortunes.[3]
