WHY DID ULF AND HUGE HAMMER BETRAY RHAENYRA?
When Ulf and Huge were sent to defend Rhaenyra in the fight against Tumbleton, they were promised Knighthood, lands, and a few other rewards.
Daemon requested that Rhaenyra should give Lord Stokeworth’s daughter in marriage, but Rhaenyra did not accept his request. He made a second request that he should give the castle being controlled by the Baratheons to Ulf, but he also turned down this request.
Daemon also asked Rhaenyra to give Huge Casterly Rock Castle but Rhaenyra also declined.
Rather than giving Ulf and Huge Hammer the rewards Daemon requested, Rhaenyra gave them some lands on drift marks. These were not commensurate with the help they lent to Rhaenyra. This singular act made Ulf and Huge Hammer decide to betray him by burning down the city.
