Michael Manwoody was a member of House Manwoody during the reign of Daeron II. He later married to Princess Elaena Targaryen.[1]

History

In his early years he studied at the Citadel, Michael was described as a cultured man of great learning and wit. He served at court of Daeron the Good and became a great confidant of the King. He was sent to Braavos to negotiate on behalf of the Iron Throne to the Iron Bank of Braavos, oddly the letters to the bank were in Elaena's handwriting, suggesting her skill with money helped him the negotiations.

He and Elaena later wed with the King's blessing a year after the death of Elaena's previous husband. Their marriage was not an arranged marriage but a marriage of love. Elaena said it was Michael's passion for music she fell in love with, not his intelligence, he often played the harp for her. When he died Elaena commanded that his effigy be made carrying a harp instead of the sword and spurs which is commonly used in a knight's effigy.[1]
