Recent Events

The Winds of Winter

The idea for the order was first suggested by Alayne Stone, after she had noticed that young Robert Arryn was always comforted when she read him tales of his legendary ancestor, Ser Artys Arryn, the Winged Knight. This gave her the idea that perhaps he would be comforted if he were surrounded by his own bodyguard of Winged Knights, as the young Lord of the Eyrie did not feel safe. Petyr Baelish, regent for Lord Robert, liked the idea and immediately set plans in motion to form the order. The members of the order will be determined by a tournament at the Bloody Gate. The winners of this tourney will become the first members of the new knightly order.[2]

The Brotherhood of Winged Knights are to contain eight members. While Alayne Stone had originally suggested seven - like the Kingsguard - Lord Robert felt he should have more guards than King Tommen Baratheon, so the number of members was increased. The members of the Brotherhood will serve Lord Robert Arryn for the next three years.[2]

In the tournament to determine the initial membership, sixty-four knights from across the Vale competed for the eight positions. As Lysa Arryn had kept the men of the Vale out of the War of the Five Kings, many of the young and unblooded knights were eager to prove their martial prowess, causing the tournament to draw lots of participants.[2]
