Contents
Character
Desmond was a shrewd negotiator.[1]
History
At the start of the Dance of the Dragons, Lord Desmond hosted Jacaerys Velaryon when the prince came to White Harbor. Desmond cited that the Old King had promised to redress the usurpation and exile of the Manderlys' ancient lands and promised House Manderly the hand of Princess Viserra Targaryen. In return for his youngest daughter being betrothed to Jace's brother, Prince Joffrey Velaryon, Desmond agreed to support Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen and her blacks against King Aegon II Targaryen and his greens.[1] Desmond's sons, Ser Medrick and Ser Torrhen, led White Harbor's soldiers during the war.[2]
Torrhen served in the regency of Aegon III. When Desmond and his heir, Medrick, died of Winter Fever in 132 AC, Torrhen returned to White Harbor to take his father's place.[3]
