A Game of Thrones
Princess Myrcella accompanies her father, King Robert Baratheon, north to visit Winterfell and the Starks. She is smitten with Robb Stark during the feast.[1] Lord Eddard Stark discovers that Myrcella and her siblings are not the children of Robert, but actually Cersei's twin brother, Ser Jaime Lannister.[2] Myrcella is in the throne room when Eddard confronts Cersei and is betrayed by Petyr Baelish.[3]
A Clash of Kings
In an effort to win Dorne over to the side of House Lannister in the War of the Five Kings, her uncle, Tyrion Lannister, offers to marry Myrcella to Trystane Martell, Prince Doran's youngest son.[4] The offer is accepted and Princess Myrcella, accompanied by Ser Arys Oakheart of the Kingsguard, sets sail for Braavos, where they will be met by an escort from Dorne.[5]
A Feast for Crows
To get revenge against the Lannisters for the deaths of Elia and Oberyn Martell, Arianne Martell schemes to make Myrcella Queen of the Seven Kingdoms after King Joffrey I's death. According to Dornish law, an elder sister inherits before her younger brother, which would make Myrcella the rightful queen.[6] Arianne hopes that the Dornishmen will rise to defend her claim for a chance to war against the Lannisters, who would be expected to support Myrcella's younger brother, King Tommen I.
Arianne and a small group of friends travel with Myrcella through the desert, leaving the princess's cousin and handmaiden Rosamund Lannister as a decoy in Sunspear. When they come to their destination, Prince Doran Martell's guardsmen are waiting for them. Their conspiracy has been betrayed. Myrcella's bodyguard, Arys Oakheart, attacks the guardsmen, but is killed by their captain, Areo Hotah. During the chaos, Ser Gerold Dayne strikes at Myrcella to force Doran into a war against the Lannisters.[7] He fails to deal a killing blow, as Myrcella's horse veers away, but the princess is still wounded. Maester Caleotte saves her life, but Myrcella loses an ear and has a hideous facial scar.[8]
A Dance with Dragons
Myrcella's injuries are revealed to Ser Balon Swann of the Kingsguard. As coached by the Martells, she states her injuries are due to the actions of the renegade knight Ser Gerold Dayne. Under Arianne's direction, Myrcella lies to Balon and claims Gerold also cut down Ser Arys Oakheart. She then begs Balon to bring Gerold to justice, to which Balon agrees.
