The Citadel

House Bywater

General Information

Ser Jacelyn Bywater, called Ironhand, an officer of the City Watch of King’s Landing and captain of the Mud Gate, is of a lesser branch of the house and was indeed too poor to afford knighthood. He came by it only as a reward, from King Robert Baratheon, for his part in the fighting at Pyke, in which he lost his hand, at the end of Greyjoy’s Rebellion.
