the lannister bring in the widow elia martell , & her two children rhaenys & aegon before the new king . tensions are high as most want the three killed , but lyanna pleads with robert to think rationally & spare their lives . she reminds him they are victims of the war as well , & do not deserve to be punished for association . robert heeds her advice , & grants them peace with a few conditions : elia is to return home to dorne , rhaenys is to stay in king’s landing as lyanna’s ward , & aegon is to live in winterfell as eddard’s ward until he is old enough to be sent to the wall to take the black .
present : king robert , & queen lyanna have two sons now : jon , who is their crown prince , & his younger brother gendry . rhaenys is being raised by lyanna within the walls of the red keep which still causes uncertainty amongst a few noble houses . robert demands the boys to stay away from the girl , but that’s easier said than done . aegon is now coming of age , & will soon be sent to the wall to take the black as he’s been raised to do by eddard .
