HOUSE OF THE DRAGON ↳ The death of Jacaerys Velaryon, Prince of Dragonstone
It is said that Jacaerys Velaryon leapt free and clung to a piece of smoking wreckage for a few heartbeats, until some crossbowmen on the nearest Myrish ship began loosing quarrels at him. The prince was struck once, then again. More and More Myrmen brought crossbows to bear. Finally one quarrel took him through the neck, and Jace was swallowed by the sea. Thousands died. Yet none of these losses were felt so deeply as that of Jacaerys Velaryon, Prince of Dragonstone and heir to the Iron Throne.
