The year 175 AC brought the end of summer, renewed Braavosi and Dornish diplomacy, and great courtly spectacles tied to King Aegon’s mistresses and the Dornish court. The lingering consequences of the Kingswood disaster reached the throne room when Tylarra Bolling was judged for murdering a pyromancer, while Crownlands disorder culminated in the Rosby peasant revolt and the killing of Ser Gerys Darke. Princess Mariah’s son Maekar was anointed before the court, the Sealord of Braavos came to Sunspear, Septa Helia’s flight with the Braavosi embassy caused pursuit and scandal, and Missy Blackwood gave birth to Brynden Rivers before the Tourney of the Setting Sun.
Day 22: Ser Otho Royce and his goldcloaks arrested Lady Tylarra Bolling, widow of Ser Denys Bolling, after her handmaiden was caught trying to flee King’s Landing and confessed that Tylarra had murdered a pyromancer two moons before. Tylarra admitted her guilt when confronted.
Day 11: White ravens from the Citadel announced the end of summer and the beginning of autumn. Their arrival in King’s Landing came amid news that both Princess Mariah and Melissa Blackwood were with child.
Day 15: Lord Terin Ryger, Master of Laws, tried Lady Tylarra Bolling for the murder of Wisdom Erwyn of the Guildhall of the Alchemists. Tylarra confessed that she had lured the Wisdom out and killed him in vengeance for her husband’s death in the Kingswood wildfire disaster. The crowded throne room showed how raw the disaster remained among widows and those who had lost kin or comrades, but Lord Ryger found Tylarra guilty and spared her execution only by sentencing her to serve the Silent Sisters until her dying day.
Day 18: Lady Tylarra Bolling was seen departing King’s Landing to join the Silent Sisters, clad in roughspun grey robes.
Day 4: Word reached court that Lord Rosby sought royal aid against a growing peasant revolt around Rosby. The unrest grew from hunger, ruined herds and grain, and resentment after the Kingswood disaster, and followed attacks on Lord Rosby’s officers and on Ser Yohnen Darklyn, who had been badly wounded while acting in the region.
Day 21: Royal forces under Ser Luthor Rivers put down the Rosby peasant revolt at the Battle of the Bleating. Ser Omrys Baratheon killed Sveyn the Brown in single combat, while Ser Otho Royce wounded and captured Udalryk the miller.
Day 26: After refusing earlier terms to submit to Lord Rosby’s justice, Ser Gerys Darke and his remaining men were confronted near the Rosby Road by Ser Jon Roxton, Ser Omrys Baratheon, Ser Otho Royce, and goldcloaks. The parley collapsed into violence; Ryman of Blackbuckle was killed by Omrys, and Gerys refused Jon Roxton’s offer of the black before being slain.
Day 27: The Sealord of Braavos, Tenesio Velaron, arrived at the Planky Town and proceeded to Sunspear with a splendid entourage. Prince Maron received him, making the visit a major moment of Dornish and Braavosi diplomacy.
Day 22: The Sealord’s court entertained Sunspear with an evening of Braavosi display in the Old Palace. The gathering brought together Dornish dignitaries and Braavosi visitors, showcasing the closeness and tension of the embassy.
Day 18: At Prince Maron’s command, Ser Farien Yronwood and other Dornish knights pursued the Braavosi embassy to recover Septa Helia, born Dalt. The pursuit raised questions of honor, obedience, and the limits of Braavosi guest-right after Helia fled with the foreigners.
Day 23: Melissa Blackwood gave birth in King’s Landing to King Aegon’s son Brynden Rivers. The child’s albinism and fragile health tempered the celebration, though King Aegon acknowledged him and favored his mother.
Day 11: In the Red Keep’s royal sept, Prince Maekar Targaryen, newborn son of Prince Daeron Targaryen and Princess Mariah Nymeros Martell, was formally named and anointed by the High Septon before Queen Naerys, Prince Aemon, courtiers, knights, and ladies of the court. King Aegon and much of his council were notably absent, leaving the ceremony to emphasize Prince Daeron’s household, the Queen, and the Dragonknight’s public place beside them.
Day 17-18: The Tourney of the Setting Sun was held amid rumors that King Aegon sought to manipulate the field in honor of Melissa Blackwood. The contests became a display of chivalry, deception, and royal favoritism, with lasting talk at court.
Day 27: Lord Barent Cargyll, former Master of Coin, died after taking ill following exposure at the recent tourney. His death left the succession disputed between his widowed sister, Aleta Cargyll, and her son, Ser Egil Roote, and his cousin, Ser Rycherd Cargyll.
Day 9: Ser Egil Roote, Aleta Cargyll’s son and a claimant in the Cargyll succession, was poisoned at dinner amid the dispute. Suspicion fell on the rival party, but no culprit was proven.
Day 16: King Aegon settled the succession of House Cargyll, dismissing Aleta Cargyll’s claim and confirming Ser Rycherd Cargyll as Lord Cargyll. The king demanded a substantial share of Lord Barent’s fortune in recompense for Rycherd’s misconduct, though Rycherd was not proven to have arranged Egil’s death.
