An accord was reached between the two sides, in which Ser Perkin and his gutter knights would be pardoned of all crimes, but not the pretender Trystane. Īfter the death of Rhaenyra, when Lord Borros Baratheon's army reached the Blackwater Rush, Trystane followed the Clubfoot's advice and sent him to parley under a flag of truce along with Grand Maester Orwyle and Queen Alicent. Meanwhile, Ser Perkin recruited scores of surviving gold cloaks, taking control of the Dragon Gate, the King's Gate, and the Lion Gate - in total four of the seven gates of the capital and more than half the towers along the city's walls.
In response to rival "King" Gaemon Palehair's decree of free bread and beer for the starving, "King" Trystane granted the poor the right to take rabbits, hares and deer from the kingswood - though not elk or boar. He followed with a general cancellation of debt and raised threescore of Perkin's gutter knights to nobility. Trystane began to issue royal decrees from atop Aegon's High Hill, repealing the unpopular taxes of Lord Bartimos Celtigar and dividing the coin of the royal treasury among his own followers. Lord Larys Strong, the master of whisperers for Aegon II Targaryen, emerged from hiding and took a place of honor at the side of the new "king", who styled himself Trystane Truefyre. Īfter Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen fled King's Landing, Ser Perkin seized the Red Keep and installed Trystane on the Iron Throne, before the eyes of Grand Maester Orwyle, Lord Corlys Velaryon and Dowager Queen Alicent Hightower. The River Gate became the first place were Trystane's banner flew above the battlements, after the " Mudfoot" garrison of the gold cloaks went over to Trystane and slew their captain and three serjeants. Ser Perkin began knighting every man who flocked to Trystane's banner, including sellswords and thieves, amassing a force of hundreds of " gutter knights". Historyĭuring the riot of King's Landing, Trystane was crowned king by Ser Perkin the Flea, who claimed Trystane was the natural son of King Viserys I Targaryen.
Archmaester Gyldayn describes him as gangling.
