Ser Rickard Thorne was a knight of House Thorne and a member of the Kingsguard during the reigns of Viserys I, and Aegon II Targaryen.[1]
History
After the death of King Viserys I Targaryen, Rickard choose the side of King Aegon II Targaryen in the ensuing civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons.[1]
During the fall of King's Landing, Lord Larys Strong, the master of whisperers, smuggled Aegon, Princess Jaehaera, and Prince Maelor Targaryen to safety through a secret passage known only to Larys within Maegor's Holdfast. The party was accompanied by Rickard and Ser Willis Fell of the Kingsguard.[1] Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen offered rewards for information about the vanished "false knights", and Aegon's rival also sent knights inquisitor in search of Willis and Rickard.[1]
Rickard was commanded to see Maelor safely to Oldtown.[1] At Bitterbridge, however, Rickard was brought down by a mob, and Maelor was torn apart as smallfolk sought to claim him as their own prize.[2]
