Prince Lewyn Martell was a member of the Kingsguard of Aerys II and a Prince of Dorne. He was the uncle of the current Prince of Dorne, Doran Martell.[1]

History

Prince Lewyn was the younger brother of the ruling Princess of Dorne. He was appointed a member of the Kingsguard in service of King Aerys II.

It was a closely held secret that Prince Lewyn kept a paramour despite the Kingsguard oaths of chastity.[2] Ser Barristan Selmy and his other sworn brothers were aware of this but kept their sworn brother's secret.[3]

During Robert's Rebellion, Aerys used Lewyn's niece, princes Elia Martell, as a hostage against him and sent him to command the ten thousand Dornishmen that were to join Prince Rhaegar Targaryen's force that was assembling to take on Robert Baratheon.[4] He died during the Battle of the Trident at the hands of Ser Lyn Corbray, although Prince Lewyn was mortally wounded before his final duel with Ser Lyn.[5]

Later his bones were returned to Dorne by Hand of the King, Jon Arryn, where presumable he was put to rest.

Arianne Martell recalls her great uncle fondly, remembering when she a little girl how her great uncle Lewyn would tower over her and tickle her till she could barely breath from laughter.[2]
