History

Laenor had always favored handsome knights of his household, whom he likely took as lovers. The first prominent knight was Ser Joffrey Lonmouth, whom Laenor's third son, Prince Joffrey Velaryon, was later named after. After Ser Joffrey's death, Ser Qarl Correy became Laenor's new favorite.[1]

According to The Testimony of Mushroom, Prince Daemon Targaryen paid Correy to kill Laenor to free Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen for himself and offered him escape from Spicetown on a boat but had him murdered and the body disposed of at sea instead.[2][1]
