Description
Elinor had three children with her first husband, Ser Theo Bolling . Theo was arrested by knights of the Kingsguard , however, accused of conspiring with Queen Alyssa Velaryon to place her son, Prince Jaehaerys , on the Iron Throne , and was executed. After seven days of mourning, Elinor was summoned to wed King Maegor I Targaryen . Her sons' presence at the wedding ensured she would play her part in the ceremony.[2] According to one tale, Elinor scratched Maegor's back to bloody ribbons as they coupled.[4]
Elinor's sons were sent away from her after her wedding to Maegor; her eldest was fostered at the Eyrie , her second son to Highgarden , and her youngest was given to a wet nurse.[2]
When Queen Tyanna of the Tower admitted to poisoning Queen Alys Harroway during her pregnancy, Tyanna promised the same would happen to Elinor. Tyanna was proven correct when Elinor gave birth to a stillborn abomination said to have been born eyeless and with small wings.[4] Elinor was one of the two wives who survived the king, the other being Queen Rhaena Targaryen .
