Įdric Dayne tells Arya Stark about Ashara and Eddard. When Meera Reed tells Bran Stark the story of the Knight of the Laughing Tree and the tourney at Harrenhal in 281 AC, and refers to Ashara as "a maid with laughing purple eyes". Recent Events A Game of ThronesĬatelyn Stark recalls confronting her husband Eddard Stark years before about the whispers she had heard about Ashara being Jon Snow's mother. Her name was never mentioned at the castle again. When Eddard's wife, Catelyn Tully, heard these stories from her maids, she confronted Eddard, who refused to confirm or deny anything regarding Jon's mother, and subsequently silenced all talk of Ashara at Winterfell. Īt Winterfell, Eddard Stark's soldiers spread the tale that Ashara was the mother of Eddard's bastard son Jon Snow. Several characters have cited possible reasons for Ashara's decision to commit suicide: a broken heart, because of her stillborn daughter, because of a stolen child, for the "man who had dishonored her at Harrenhal", or due to grief over Arthur's death. Some time after his visit, Ashara jumped from the top of the Palestone Sword, one of the towers of Starfall, into the sea. Eddard traveled to Starfall to return Arthur's greatsword Dawn to House Dayne. Īshara's brother Arthur died the war, fighting during the combat at the tower of joy. In addition, Barristan states that Ashara "looked" at "Stark" following the final tilts at the tourney, although he does not identify the Stark in question.
According to Barristan, Ashara was "dishonored" by a man at Harrenhal. Barristan recalls that, had he won the tourney, he would have named Ashara his queen of love and beauty. Ser Barristan Selmy of the Kingsguard was also in love with Ashara, although he never told her so. According to Allyria Dayne, Ashara's younger sister, Ashara and Eddard Stark fell in love at Harrenhal. After Brandon Stark approached her on behalf of his younger brother Eddard, Ashara danced with Eddard as well. She was present at the tourney at Harrenhal that year, where she danced with a knight of the Kingsguard, Prince Oberyn Martell, and Lord Jon Connington. She had not been long at court by the false spring of 281 AC. HistoryĪshara was a lady-in-waiting to Princess Elia Martell, the wife of Prince Rhaegar Targaryen. According to Ser Barristan Selmy, Daenerys Targaryen's eyes resemble Ashara's eyes. Her long dark hair tumbled around her shoulders.
