Game Of Thrones: The History Of Harrenhal. The world of Game of Thrones is so vast that it can be difficult for casual viewers to keep all of the locations, characters, and religions straight. Although it wasn’t featured last season, Harrenhal is still a major location that’s important for viewers to remember going into season seven. Viewers of the show most likely know Harrenhal as the Lannister army base in season two.

The huge, ruinous castle was the backdrop for Jaqen H’ghar as he delivered on his promise to Arya to take three lives for her. It’s also where Arya served incognito as Tywin Lannister’s cupbearer, and the setting for Brienne versus the bear in season three. However, there’s a lot of history behind the castle that you probably missed if you only watch the show and have never tackled George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series. It was an important location during Robert’s Rebellion, and it might even hold a significant role in these last two seasons if some fan theories are correct. Curious? Here are 1. Things You Didn’t Know About Harrenhal.

Beware — this article is dark and full of spoilers. It’s the largest castle in the Seven Kingdoms. You might be surprised to learn that the Red Keep, the castle in King’s Landing, isn’t actually the largest castle on the continent. Although the Red Keep is the home of the Iron Throne, Harrenhal is both older and larger.

Construction of Harrenhal started decades before the Targaryens united Westeros under one crown. House Hoare, the rulers of the Iron Islands, decided that the rainy islands actually kind of sucked.

If only the Gryejoys were so wise.) King Harwyn Hoare ventured out and conquered the Trident and the Riverlands, the ancestral land of Catelyn Stark. Years later, one of his descendants would order the construction of Harrenhal.

Since it was to be a monument to himself, he wanted the castle to dwarf every other structure in Westeros. Centuries later, his record still hasn’t been beaten. The kitchens alone are as large as Winterfell’s great hall. Harrenhal’s great hall, meanwhile, was dubbed the Hall of the Hundred Hearths for its size — even though it only has thirty- five hearths tops, it’s still big enough to entertain an entire army. The whole thing is better suited for giants than humans. It lies to the north of the largest lake in Westeros.

Fittingly, the largest castle on the continent also lies at the tip of the largest lake. The Gods Eye is named for its size — when Arya sees it in A Clash of Kings, she realizes that she can’t even see a far shore.

Think of it as a Great Lake in the middle of Westeros. The lake itself also has a lot of history to it. In the middle of the lake is the Isle of Faces, where the Children of the Forest formed a pact with the First Men to end their war. The island is sacred and has one of the few godswoods in the south of Westeros. As the seasons change in Westeros (and as the violence grows even worse), the color of the water becomes grim. In the summertime, the waters are a beautiful blue and green that glimmer in the sunlight.

During winter, however, the water looks more like steel. It was named for its founder, Harren Hoare. To be sure that no one could forget which person ordered the construction of the monstrous Harrenhal, the castle is named for its founder — King Harren Hoare, also known as Harren the Black or Black Harren.

Harren Hoare was the last King of the Iron Islands, partially due to his construction of Harrenhal. We’ll get to that later.

He was hated by almost everyone because of how vain and cruel he was. His tactics were so awful that he gained a reputation throughout all of Westeros, not just the areas he ruled. Harren Hoare exhausted both the Riverlands and the Iron Islands to build his monument. Rather than paying people to build Harrenhal for him, he chained slaves to sledges or let them die in the stone quarries. When one slave died, they were replaced with a fresh body — and on and on that went until construction was complete. Rumor has it there’s a lot of blood mixed in with the stone used to build Harrenhal. It had a legendary godswood.

The godswoods of Westeros are usually associated with the North and the Starks, who still worship the old gods. However, there used to be godswoods across the continent before they were either cut down or burnt by followers of the Seven. There are still a few in the south, and one of the most significant is on the Isle of Faces — the island in the middle of the Gods Eye lake. The godswood on the Isle of Faces covers twenty acres of land. This is especially impressive considering that Harren Hoare cut down many of the weirwood trees in order to build Harrenhal. Although the faces of most weirwood heart trees aren’t exactly pleasing to behold, the Harrenhal heart tree is terrifying.

Its face is as cruel as the godswood’s former ruler, with a twisted face and glaring eyes. There are thirteen marks carved into it from a previous battle, and they still bleed every spring. It was the center of the Hoares’ opposition to Aegon Targaryen. When Aegon the Conqueror first began his takeover of Westeros, Harren Hoare had just moved into the freshly completed Harrenhal. He laughed at Aegon when he showed up outside of the gates. He had just finished building a castle that no man or army could take down — why should he be afraid of someone outside of his fortress?

He was partially right. There wasn’t a man or army who could defeat Harrenhal alone. But Harren Hoare had forgotten a pretty crucial detail: the Targaryens have dragons. Big ones. The fire from Aegon’s dragon Balerion was strong enough to melt stone, and King Hoare was burned alive in Harrenhal along with his sons. The entire Hoare line was extinguished that day, and Aegon Targaryen became ruler of the Riverlands and Iron Islands simultaneously.

The building has never been able to be repaired, and while it still stands, the entire structure is still partially melted from dragonfire. Daemon Targaryen attacked it to kick off the Dance of Dragons. As if melting half of the building wasn’t enough, Harrenhal was attacked by the Targaryens again roughly 1.

Prince Daemon Targaryen was one of the most skilled warriors in the Dance of Dragons, also known as Westeros’ civil war. He was both the uncle and husband of Rhaenyra Targaryen, whose claim to the throne he was supporting. Remember that Targaryen tendency towards incest?
