Lyonel Strong

This does not sit well with Lyonel. He begins to wonder if any of his children are what one would call level headed and normal, as even Larys has shown that he has a strange mind and strange desires and habits.

(This account is an AU portrayal where he does NOT die.)

His plan/suggestion ultimately works despite Rhaenyra protesting at first. When rumors spread about Rhaenyra's children, announced to be fathered by Laenor, are truly Harwin's things don't go well. He confronts Harwin about it and Harwin maintains that he has his own honor while Lyonel has his.

He serves dutifully and loyally as Hand, often offering honest and sound advice. It is he who suggests wedding Princess Rhaenyra to the son of the Sea Snake to mend the rift between King Viserys and Lord Corlys, which began when Viserys turned down Laena Velaryon as a choice to be his second wife.

Lyonel Strong is the lord and patriarch of House Strong. He is the father of two sons, Harwin and Larys. He is the Master of Laws to King Viserys I Targaryen. When Viserys dismisses Otto Hightower as his Hand after Otto makes disturbing allegations against Rhaenyra, Lyonel becomes Hand of the King.

What in Seven Hells is wrong with my sons? One wants to break people and the other wants to bed King Viserys's chosen heir. Why was I cursed with imbeciles for sons?!

This flimsy shield alone stands between you and the headsman. The willful blindness of the father towards his child.
