He offers Oberyn an opportunity to confront the Mountain privately on the condition that he first preside as the third judge at Tyrion's court trial for Joffrey's murder, which Oberyn agrees to do. Oberyn confirms that he blames Tywin for the deaths of Elia and her children, which Tywin cryptically suggests was all the Mountain's doing. Īfter the Purple Wedding, Tywin approaches Oberyn to determine if he had a hand in it, considering his hatred for House Lannister. Oberyn tells Cersei that his fifth daughter is named for her, and that he finds it difficult to interact with her as a result. When speaking to Tyrion, Oberyn expresses apparent anger that "beautiful, noble Rhaegar Targaryen left her for another woman" despite Elia's love and loyalty for Rhaegar. It is clear that Oberyn loved his older sister very much. Circumstances surrounding Elia's death also fell to rumor as well, as conflicting reports state that Gregor Clegane split Elia in half with his greatsword after raping her, and it was said that he acted on his own accord rather than Tywin Lannister's orders.Įlia is mentioned many times by Oberyn in his conversations with various members of House Lannister.

Ultimately Rhaegar was killed by Robert at the Battle of the Trident, leaving Elia a widow. When Robert's Rebellion erupted, Elia was retained in King's Landing by King Aerys to ensure the loyalty of House Martell during the conflict- a measure the Martells considered unnecessary, as they would always fight for whichever side Elia was on and had no intention of breaking their oaths of loyalty to the Targaryens. Gregor, about to kill Elia and her children. Both pregnancies were very difficult, and each nearly killed Elia. She bore him two children, Rhaenys and Aegon, to whom she was equally devoted according to Oberyn, Elia took care of them from birth, rather than delegating the task to a wet nurse. Īccording to her brother Oberyn, Elia loved her husband Prince Rhaegar dearly.
