Ser Arnold Arryn, called the Mad Heir, was a knight from House Arryn and a claimant to the Eyrie.[1]
History
Ser Arnold was a first cousin of Jeyne Arryn, the Lady of the Eyrie. In his youth, he served as a squire at Runestone.[1]
Twice he rose against his cousin to contest her inheritance.[1] He claimed that women were too soft to rule, and after his second rising, he was imprisoned in one of Lady Jeyne's sky cells.[3]
In 134 AC, Lady Jeyne died. In her last testament, she named her fourth cousin, Ser Joffrey Arryn, as heir, though Arnold was much closer by blood. Though Arnold had gone mad during his time imprisoned in the sky cells, his sane, shrewd, and ambitious son, Ser Eldric, came forward to press his father's claim. Many lords supported Arnold's claim, insisting that the laws of inheritance could not be put aside by "the whim of a dying woman." Additionally, a third claimant came forward in the person of Isembard Arryn, head of House Arryn of Gulltown.[1]
One of the young king Aegon III Targaryen's regents, Ser Corwyn Corbray, ruled that Lady Jeyne's will must prevail and declared Ser Joffrey the rightful Lord of the Eyrie. Isembard and his sons were imprisoned, and Ser Eldric was executed, but Arnold eluded Ser Corwyn and fled to Runestone, where Ser Corwyn was struck down by a crossbowman once he drew Lady Forlorn.[1]
Striking down the king's regent was an act of treason, and war began anew across the Vale of Arryn. Houses Royce, House Templeton, Tollett, Coldwater, Dutton, and the lords of the Three Sisters supported Arnold's claim, though the Hand of the King, Lord Thaddeus Rowan, commanded the lords supporting Arnold to lay down their arms. When no reply was forthcoming, the crown sent men through the Mountains of the Moon and launched a sea attack to support Ser Joffrey's claim.[1]
By the time the new regents were chosen by lot in 136 AC, Lord Alyn Velaryon and Lord Benjicot Blackwood had at last forced the supporters of Isembard and Arnold to do homage to Lord Joffrey as their liege.[1]
