History

In the reign of Maegor I Targaryen, Maegor had his own wife and queen; Alys Harroway tortured to death and executed. Following her death, Alys body was cut into seven parts and mounted on spikes above each of the seven gates of the city, one of which was above the Gate of the Gods. [1][2]

Recent Events

A Feast for Crows

The procession returning Tywin Lannister's body to Casterly Rock leaves King's Landing through the Gate of the Gods. Jaime Lannister feels it would have been more fitting and appropriate if they left via the Lion Gate instead.
