The Goodwife was the first fool at the royal court in the Red Keep.[1] His given name is unknown.

Appearance and Character

The Goodwife was a fat man who dressed as a woman and said ribald, shocking things with his wooden "children", a pair of carved puppets.[1]

History

The Goodwife was among the many artists brought to the Red Keep by Queen Alysanne Targaryen after her husband, King Jaehaerys I Targaryen, began to rule in his own right. When Alysanne relocated to Dragonstone following the death of Prince Aegon, the queen was accompanied by her lady attendants and the entertaining Goodwife.[2]
