Lord Bracken was Lord of Stone Hedge and head of House Bracken during the reign of Aegon IV Targaryen. His given name is as yet unknown. Had two daughters Barba and Bethany Bracken.[1]

History

On King Aegon IV ascent to the throne in 172 AC, he named Lord Bracken as Hand and openly took his daughter Barba as a mistress.[2]

While Queen Naerys was lingering near death, the Hand talked openly of wedding his daughter to the King. After the queen’s recovery, the scandal proved Lord Bracken’s undoing, as young Prince Daeron and his uncle, the Dragonknight, forced Aegon to send him, his daughter and the king's bastard away.[1]

After being sent from court and Melissa Blackwood replacing his daughter as the king's new mistress, Lord Bracken and his daughter, Barba, started grooming his younger daughter Bethany to win the king's favour. In 177 AC she caught the king's eye, later taking her as a mistress.[1]

Lord Bracken was executed in 178 AC after his daughter, the king's mistress, was caught in bed with Ser Terrence Toyne a knight of the Kingsguard.[2]
