[h3][color=ed1c24]House Description and recent history:[/color][/h3]
While the heir apparent to the Iron Throne was known as the Prince of Dragonstone, a younger son could be titled the Prince of Summerhall. Located in or near the foothills of the Red Mountains, Summerhall is close to the Stormlands' border with the Reach, east of the Cockleswhent and southeast of the Blueburn. The Boneway runs south from Summerhall through the Dornish Marches to Yronwood in Dorne. Originally it was a small castle, but early in Daeron’s reign expansion began to turn it into a splendid summer residence befitting a king.

The King spent much time at Summerhall in his youth, but now resides in King’s Landing. Baelor, as heir apparent, holds the fief of Dragonstone, and Aerys and Rhaegal seldom leave court. And so, Maekar received the palatial castle for his seat and become known as the Prince of Summerhall. Though the prince is not blind to its pleasures and comfort, it is mostly Dyanna’s preference for the site and surrounding area which renders him appreciative of it.

[b][color=ed1c24][h3]Maekar Targaryen[/h3][/color]
[color=ed1c24]Age:[/color][/b] 28 (born 174 AC)

[b][color=ed1c24]Appearance:[/color][/b]
[indent]Maekar is powerfully built and tall. He has violet eyes. Unlike his eldest brother Baelor, Maekar looks a true Targaryen. However, when exposed to the sun, he tans easily, courtesy of his Dornish mother. Maekar has straight hair which he keeps close cut on the side, and a square beard, both being the colour of silver with a touch of gold.[/indent]

[b][color=ed1c24]Description & biography:[/color][/b]
[indent]Growing up in the shadow of his daring and charismatic brother, Baelor, made Maekar wont to be prickly and impatient. With three elder brothers there was always a comparison going on. Maekar matured feeling as if he did not live up to the standards set by his elder siblings. It was sometimes said that Maekar was “not as bold as Prince Baelor, nor as clever as Prince Aerys nor as gentle as Prince Rhaegel”. 

Nursing his wounded pride, the prince grew up to be a harsh man, quick to judge and to condemn. This was after all how the world treated him. He would give as good as he got, and more. Unlike Baelor, he has difficulty with being charming and making friends or allies. Even as a child, the fourth prince was sullen and prone to brooding, seldomly mingling with his peers. Nevertheless, he is not without his qualities. Duty and loyalty he holds in high esteem, and has the mettle and air to be an able commander of men. Those who sang Baelor’s praises as a knight, lord, and heir, often extended the accolades to Maekar for his prowess and bearing. The King and his council learnt that if they wanted something done, they could entrust Maekar with it if they were willing to tolerate some collateral damage. Efficient and hardheaded yes, but refined, Maekar is not.

As if embracing the reputation due to his black moods, Maekar favours dark attire according to the colours of his house. Like other Targaryens, his darkened armour is decorated with dragon elements such as teeth along the shoulders and down his back, and the crest of his helm had dragon teeth as well. His weapon of choice is a spiked mace.

Dour as he is, Maekar had expected little in the way of love in his life. In his youth, carnal passions were summarily and easily dealt with, there being no shortages of those willing to mount a dragon. As such, he never saw it coming when at a tourney he met (and was bested by) Lady Dyanna Dayne during the archery contest. Like her aim, Dyanna's unusual charms found their mark. When later he asked for her favour, she opted to point out her superior skills it only infuriated and intrigued the youngest Targaryen prince further. Enlisting the help of his sweet-talking brother Rhaegal, Maekar started a courtship via raven until affairs progressed far enough to warrant a visit to Starfall. While parchment had provided a conduit for their mutual infatuation, it was a prolonged stay at the Dayne seat which sealed the deal. Indeed, illicitly, the two parties acted upon their longing. They were wed soon after and eventually set up a household at Summerhall.
