Ronald Connington

Lord Ronald Connington was the cousin of Jon Connington and the Knight of Griffin's Roost throughout the reign of King Robert I Baratheon, the War of the Five Kings and the Great War, before being restored to Lord of Griffin's Roost by Lord Edric Baratheon. Ronald Connington became Lord of Griffin's Roost in the midst of Robert's Rebellion. His predecessor, Jon Connington, had been serving King Aerys II Targaryen as Hand of the King, before being exiled for failing to capture Robert Baratheon during the Battle of the Bells. Despite immediately switching sides to support Robert upon his accession, Ronald Connington was stripped of his lordship and nine tenths of his lands upon the Rebellion's conclusion. Following the Great War, Ronald Connington presented his daughter, Alynne Connington, to his liege Edric Baratheon as a potential suitor for marriage. Edric accepted, and as a token of good will, restored the Connington's lordship along with roughly half of the lands confiscated by Robert. Ronald died around a year later at the age of 61, and was succeeded by his son, Ronnet Connington.
