Luke Tittensor as Ser Arryk Cargyll
He was a knight from the House of Cargyll. They were both in the Kingsguard when King Viserys I Targaryen was king. Their twin brother was Ser Erryk Cargyll. Her brother Erryk fought for Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen during the Dance of the Dragons, while his brother Arryk fought for King Aegon II Targaryen. Luke Tittensor plays Arryk in the TV version of House of the Dragon.
How he Looks Like
Ser Erryk, Arryk’s twin brother, was so much alike in appearance that not even their fellow Kingsguards could tell them apart.
Some Key Info on Ser Arryk Cargyll
Ser Arryk and Ser Erryk Cargyll, both knights of the Kingsguard, were unhorsed by Ser Criston Cole at the tournament at Maidenpool in 105 AC for King Viserys I’s marriage. During the rule of King Viserys, Arryk went to Dragonstone a lot and knew the castle very well.
September Eustace says that Arryk found Prince Daemon and Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen in bed together shortly after the tournament to honor King Viserys and Queen Alicent’s fifth wedding anniversary in 111 AC. Mullein, the court fool, says that Daemon was teaching his sister Rhaenyra how to seduce Ser Criston better. Because of this, Viserys sent Daemon away from the Seven Kingdoms.
Ser Arryk Cargyll in The Dance of the Dragons
Soon after Viserys died in 129 AC, Arryk joined King Aegon II Targaryen and the Greens in King’s Landing. But his twin brother Erryk sided with Queen Rhaenyra, Aegon’s rival, and her black group on Dragonstone. Arryk led the king into the throne room of the Red Keep after Aegon was crowned king in the Dragonpit.
Grand Maester Orwyle tried to bring the warring Targaryen families together but failed while traveling from King’s Landing to Dragonstone with Arryk in his group. A song written long after the events says that the brothers tried to get each other to switch sides before Arryk left Dragonstone.
The song says that when this failed, they both said they loved each other and then split up, knowing that the next time they would meet, it would be as enemies. That kind of goodbye might have happened that day, but there are no records of it in history.
Aegon wanted to get back at Rhaenyra for killing his son, Prince Jaehaerys Targaryen, with Blood and Cheese. The Lord Commander of Aegon’s Kingsguard, Ser Criston, told Arryk to sneak into Dragonstone as his twin brother, Erryk. There is some disagreement about whether Arryk’s job was to kill Rhaenyra or her children, but he did not want the job, and the night he left, he begged for forgiveness from the Mother in the Red Keep’s Sept.
Arryk got to the island, pretending to be a fisherman. He then put on his Kingsguard armor and white robe and entered the castle. But while Arryk was on his way to the royal rooms, he ran into Erryk. Erryk knew right away why his twin brother was there.
Many different stories have been told about the fight that followed. Septon Eustace’s story only says that the Cargyll twins killed each other. Singers say that as the brothers drew their swords, they told each other they loved each other.
They fought for about an hour, according to The Dance of the Dragons, A True Telling by Grand Maester Munkun. Half of Rhaenyra’s court woke up because of the noise of the fight, but they could only watch because no one could tell which twin was which. Arryk and Erryk killed each other in the end and died crying in each other’s arms.
Finally, The Testimony of Mushroom says that the fight was short and that the brothers did not say they loved each other but instead called each other traitors. When Erryk hit Arryk for the first time, he almost cut off his arm at the shoulder.
He pulled Erryk close and grabbed his coat as Arryk fell down. He then stabbed Erryk in the stomach with a dagger. Before anyone found them, Arryk was already dead, but Erryk’s gut wound made him scream in pain and curse his brother for four days.
Most singers and storytellers have better liked Munkun’s version of Arryk and Erryk’s last fight. The Cargyll twins have been the subject of many songs. One sad tune that is still sung today is “Farewell, My Brother” by Luceon of Tarth.
