Ser Harwin Strong, known as Breakbones, was a knight from House Strong and heir to Harrenhal. He also served as a captain in the City Watch of King's Landing. The rumored lover of Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, Harwin is believed by some to have been the real father of her first three children, (Jacaerys, Lucerys, and Joffrey Velaryon).[2]
Appearance and Character
Harwin was said to be the strongest man in the Seven Kingdoms in his day.[3]
History
Princess Rhaenyra granted Harwin her favor at the tourney celebrating her wedding with Ser Laenor Velaryon. At that tourney, Ser Criston Cole broke his collarbone and shattered his elbow. Thereafter the fool Mushroom called him Brokenbones.[3]
When Rhaenyra moved to Dragonstone in 114 AC, Harwin went with her as her personal sworn shield and the leader of the blacks.[4]
Harwin died in a fire at Harrenhal that also killed his father, Lord Lyonel Strong. The fire was blamed on the curse of Harrenhal. Other non-mystical suspects included:
- Prince Daemon Targaryen, to eliminate a rival for Princess Rhaenyra's affections[3]
- Lord Corlys Velaryon, for Ser Harwin cuckolding his son[3]
- Harwin's younger brother, Larys Strong, for the inheritance[3]
- King Viserys I Targaryen, to eliminate the man who brought dishonor on his House[3]
