Meryn III Gardener
The last King of the Arbor was lost at sea, allowing his cousin, King Meryn III Gardener, to make the isle part of his domain. - The World of Ice and Fire[1]
Meryn III Gardener is remembered as the king who peacefully added the Arbor to Highgarden’s dominion, completing the consolidation of the Reach’s southern seas.
History[edit]
Fortune intervened when the last King of the Arbor was lost at sea; King Meryn III swiftly negotiated vassalage with the Redwynes who survived him, drawing the rich isle into the kingdom without a single sword stroke. [2]
With Oldtown and the Arbor both sworn, Highgarden commanded the Mander’s mouth, the Redwyne Straits, and the open Sunset Sea.
Quotes about Meryn III[edit]
“With the death of the last Arbor King, the future of the isles was decided by the Gardeners.”
