Ser Joffrey Doggett, known as the Red Dog of the Hills, was a knight of House Doggett during the reign of King Maegor I Targaryen, and a member of the Lannisport chapter of the Warrior's Sons.[1][2]
History
In 43 ᴀᴄ, during the Faith Militant uprising, Ser Joffrey was chosen as the new Grand Captain of the Warrior's Sons to replace the late Ser Damon Morrigen. He was determined to restore the order to its former glory and rode with a hundred men to seek the blessing of the High Septon. By the time he arrived at Oldtown, he had amassed two thousand followers of knights, squires and freeriders.[1]
By 44 ᴀᴄ, the Warrior's Sons were outlawed and no longer had the strength to defy the Iron Throne in open battle, so the Red Dog sent them out disguised as hedge knights to hunt down and kill Targaryen loyalists and "traitors to the Faith". Former Warrior's Son Ser Morgan Hightower, Old Lord Merryweather, Lord Rowan's son and heir, Ser Davos Darklyn's aged father and Blind Jon Hogg were all killed by Doggett's followers.[1]
By late 45 ᴀᴄ, ser Joffrey ruled the hill country north of the Golden Tooth in all but name.[1]
Septon Moon and Ser Joffrey Doggett led the Poor Fellows against the king in 48 ᴀᴄ.[2]
