History

Early History

House Osgrey was established at least 1,000 years before the Conquest. The family used to be Marshalls of the Northmarch under House Gardener., thereby repelling an invasion of the Reach.

Targaryen rule and Blackfyre Rebellion

After the last Gardener king was killed on the Field of Fire, the Osgreys' prominence began to diminish. Lord Ormond Osgrey lost Coldmoat when he spoke out against King Maegor the Cruel for his suppression of the Poor Fellows and the Warrior's Sons.

In the First Blackfyre Rebellion of 196 AC the head of the house, Ser Eustace Osgrey, supported Daemon Blackfyre. In return Daemon promised the return of Coldmoat, but the rebellion failed and Osgrey's three sons were killed at the Battle of the Redgrass Field. Eustace was forgiven by King Daeron II Targaryen, but his daughter Alysanne was taken as a hostage. His wife committed suicide after the loss of all their children. This made Eustace the last of his line.

The Sworn Sword

Main article: The Sworn Sword

House Osgrey once controlled the towns of Dosk, Little Dosk and Brandybottom, as well as the Derring Downs. At the time of *The Sworn Sword* ca. 210 AC, however, the family had only one castle left: Standfast. Ser Eustace entered a conflict with his neighbor, Lady Rohanne Webber, over the rights to a border stream, the Chequy Water. Eustace had once proposed marriage of his son Addam to Rohanne, but was declined by Lord Webber. The new conflict was decided by a trial by battle in which the champion of House Osgrey, Ser Duncan the Tall, defeated the Lucas Inchfield, champion of Lady Webber.

History

Tyrion Lannister remarks that there is a story behind the coins on the arms of House Payne, however the events of this story are currently unknown.

Ser Ilyn Payne was captain of guards for Lord Tywin Lannister when he was Hand of the King for Aerys II Targaryen. Ilyn had his tongue torn out by Aerys for comments on who truly ruled the Seven Kingdoms.

After Robert's Rebellion, Ilyn was named the King's Justice as a deference by King Robert Baratheon to Tywin.

Recent Events

A Game of Thrones

Ser Ilyn Payne comes north to meet King Robert Baratheon on his ride south after naming Lord Eddard Stark as his new Hand of the King. Ilyn rides with Lord Renly Baratheon and Ser Barristan Selmy. At Darry, Queen Cersei Lannister asks Ilyn to kill Lady, Sansa Stark's direwolf, but Eddard does the deed himself, saying that the creature deserves better than a butcher.

When Eddard needs a commander for the men sent to kill Ser Gregor Clegane, Ilyn Payne is one of the candidates put forth. In the end he chooses Lord Beric Dondarrion.

Podrick Payne is from a lesser branch of House Payne. He squires for Ser Cedric Payne, who dies in the Riverlands campaign during the War of the Five Kings. He then squires for Ser Lorimer, who is hanged for stealing a ham.

Ilyn executes Eddard with his own blade, Ice, on the steps of the Great Sept of Baelor after being ordered by King Joffrey Baratheon.

House Peake of Starpike is a noble house from Starpike in the Reach. They blazon their arms with three black castles on orange. Their motto has yet to appear.

The Peakes are Marcher lords from the Dornish Marches.

Contents

History

Kingdom of the Reach

House Peake is an ancient house of First Men origin. According to tales from the Reach, the Peakes, Florents, and Balls are each descended from one of the three husbands of Florys the Fox, a daughter of Garth Greenhand.

The Peakes were historical rivals with House Manderly.

Near the end of the long reign of King Garth Greybeard, a problem arose with the succession as Garth had sired no sons and only daughters, one of whom had married Lord Manderly, and another to Lord Peake. Both lords were determined that their own wife should succeed to the throne, and the rivalry between them was marked by betrayal, conspiracy and murder, and finally escalated into open war with other lords joining the cause on both sides. The anarchy that followed lasted almost a decade until Ser Osmund Tyrell, the High Steward of Highgarden, made common cause with the other lords of the Reach and defeated both the Peakes and Manderlys. Ser Osmund then placed a distant cousin of the late Garth Greybeard on the throne who ascended as King Mern VI Gardener.

House Manderly was driven into exile from the Reach by Lord Lorimar Peake upon the behest of King Perceon III Gardener who feared the Manderly's swelling power in the Reach.

Targaryen Era

During the Dance of the Dragons, Lord Unwin Peake supported the greens. He took command of the green army from the Reach after the Second Battle of Tumbleton and led its retreat.

Lord Gormon Peake was a fierce supporter of Daemon I Blackfyre and was considered one of the finest knights during the reign of King Daeron II Targaryen. After they chose the side of House Blackfyre in the failed First Blackfyre Rebellion, they had two of their castles stripped from them, leaving them only Starpike.

The Peakes rose against the Iron Throne in the Peake Uprising in 233 AC. King Maekar I Targaryen's helm was crushed by a rock hurled from the battlements of Starpike. Lord Robert Reyne and Ser Tywald Lannister were also killed in the Storming of Starpike.

House Redwyne of the Arbor is one of the main noble houses sworn to Highgarden

The sigil of House Redwyne is a burgundy grape cluster on blue, symbolizing the famed wines of the Arbor. Their words are not known. Members of the house tend to be freckled and red of hair.

The current Lord of the Arbor, Paxter Redwyne, is married to his cousin, Mina Tyrell, the sister of his liege, Lord Mace Tyrell. His elderly aunt, Olenna Redwyne, the "Queen of Thorns", is the mother of Mace and Mina, and is a schemer par excellence. Besides their marital ties, Lady Olenna's influence over House Tyrell gives the Redwynes a strong voice in the Reach.

Contents

History

The Redwynes claim descent from Gilbert of the Vines, a legendary son of Garth Greenhand.

During the Dance of the Dragons, the Arbor declared for the greens.

Bethany Redwyne was to have married Brynden Tully, but he refused the match and she was wed to Lord Mathis Rowan instead. On the journey to Casterly Rock for the brokerage of their marriages, Prince Oberyn and Princess Elia Martell visited the Arbor.

During the War of the Usurper, Lord Paxter Redwyne joined his cousin-goodbrother, Mace Tyrell, in staying loyal to King Aerys II Targaryen. His main contribution to the war was the naval blockade of Storm's End during Mace's siege, ferrying men across Blackwater Bay and blockading Shipbreaker Bay.

During Greyjoy's Rebellion, the Redwyne fleet supported Stannis Baratheon in the Battle of Fair Isle.

Paxter's twin sons, Horas and Hobber, teased and humiliated Samwell Tarly when he was sent to the Arbor as a page.

Recent Events

A Game of Thrones

House Redwyne is among the noble houses that Prince Viserys Targaryen believes will rise for him if he lands in Westeros.

The Redwyne twins, Ser Horas and Ser Hobber, are in King's Landing during the events leading up to the War of the Five Kings, where they are mocked at court as *"Horror"* and *"Slobber"*, respectively. They ride in the Hand's tourney.

A Clash of Kings

After the demise of King Robert I Baratheon and the self-coronation of Renly Baratheon, Horas and Hobber are kept as hostages in King's Landing, preventing House Redwyne from joining the Tyrells in declaring for King Renly, and are once prevented from escape.

After Renly's death, as part of his efforts to to win House Tyrell and its most powerful houses, Tyrion Lannister sends Hobber back to their father, Lord Paxter Redwyne, with Baelish's retinue as a sign of trust, while keeping Horas as insurance.

In the end, the Tyrells do join House Lannister's cause, and the Redwynes with them. They help rout Stannis Baratheon in the battle of the Blackwater.

A Storm of Swords

Lord Tywin Lannister grants Paxter an advisory seat on the small council, along with a remission of taxes on certain vintages from the Arbor for thirty years.

Lord Redwyne and his sons become fixtures of the court. As a wedding present, Paxter gives King Joffrey I a scale replica of *King Joffrey's Valor*, which is being built in the Arbor.

A Feast for Crows

Lord Paxter, Ser Horas and Ser Hobber attend the funeral of Lord Tywin Lannister, and Paxter attends the wedding of King Tommen I and Queen Margaery Tyrell.

Paxter's council seat is revoked by Queen Regent Cersei after Tywin's death. Cersei tasks the Redwyne fleet with the siege of Dragonstone to remove Paxter from the capital and eliminate the nearest military threat.

The absence of Paxter's fleet and the conquest of the Shield Islands by Euron Greyjoy, King of the Iron Islands, leaves the Reach unprotected from ironborn raids. With the majority of the Redwyne ships gone, the Arbor is attacked by ironmen, and the small defence fleet is overwhelmed.

Ser Loras Tyrell takes command of the siege at Dragonstone in order to quickly end it and is badly wounded in his victory. After the siege, Lord Paxter sails to defend the Reach.

Queen Regent Cersei arranges for the arrests of Horas and Hobber as part of her intrigues against Queen Margaery Tyrell.

A Dance with Dragons

Tyrion discovers a cask of strongwine in Pentos that was once a part of Lord Runceford Redwyne's private stock.

After Cersei's arrest by the Faith, Ser Kevan Lannister as regent, re-appoints Paxter to the small council, this time as master of ships. The Redwyne twins, Ser Horas and Ser Hobber, are found innocent.

Lord Paxter and his Redwyne fleet are last reported as passing Dorne during their voyage back to the Arbor.

History

According to a semi-canon source, the Reeds descend from the First Men.

Howland Reed was one of the six companions of Eddard Stark that went with him to the Tower of Joy, and the only one that survived the fight against the three members of Aerys II Targaryen's Kingsguard.

Robb, now the King in the North, commands Maege Mormont and Galbart Glover to take men by longship and sail through the marshes of the Neck to seek out Howland Reed. Robb plans to march on Moat Cailin with 12,000 men once he joins with Lord Roose Bolton. The crannogmen will guide a small force under Robb's command across the swamps in order to reach Moat Cailin from the north.

A Dance with Dragons

Meera and Jojen accompany Bran in his travel to find the three-eyed crow beyond the Wall.

Though House Reed has not openly aligned itself with either Roose, the new Warden of the North, or King Stannis Baratheon in the northern conflicts after the War of the Five Kings, Roose does not seem to trust the crannogmen.

House Reyne of Castamere was a noble house from Castamere in the westerlands. They blazoned their arms with a red lion rampant regardant with a forked tail, armed and langued gold, on silver.

Contents

History

Age of Heroes

House Reyne was a family of First Men who made their subterranean seat at Castamere. The mine's silver and gold made them wealthy, much like the Lannisters of Casterly Rock. The Reynes joined the Kingdom of the Rock when King Loreon I Lannister wed a Reyne daughter.

Targaryen Era

During the civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons, the Reynes sided with the greens. Lord Reyne was killed during the Battle by the Lakeshore in 130 AC.

During the First Blackfyre Rebellion, Ser Robb Reyne sided with Daemon I Blackfyre. Robb was considered one of the finest knights of his age.

The Rains of Castamere

Main article: Reyne-Tarbeck rebellion

The downfall of the house had its origins in the time of Lord Robert Reyne. He arranged the betrothal of his daughter Ellyn to Tywald Lannister, the son and heir of Lord Gerold Lannister. Tywald served Robert as a squire during the Peake Uprising, but Robert and Tywald were killed in battle at Starpike in 233 AC.

The death of Ser Tion Lannister in the Fourth Blackfyre Rebellion roused his father Gerold, who took firm control over the westerlands. The "Reign of the Reynes" was over. In 239 AC Ellyn was accused of trying to bed the third son of Lord Gerold, Tytos Lannister, which resulted in her removal from Casterly Rock and marriage to Lord Walderan Tarbeck.

Roger Reyne, who succeeded Robert, was the Lord of Castamere during the rule of Gerold's successor, Lord Tytos Lannister. The Reynes had prospered greatly under Tytos's misrule. Both Roger and Ser Reynard extracted large amounts of gold from Tytos. After the War of the Ninepenny Kings, Tytos's son and heir, Ser Tywin Lannister, demanded repayment of the gold that was lent out, but Roger reportedly laughed and told his vassals to do nothing. This eventually led Tywin to summon the Reynes and the Tarbecks to answer for their crimes. They chose defiance instead and with it, started the Reyne-Tarbeck rebellion against their Lannister overlords.

Tarbeck Hall was the first to feel Tywin's wrath and House Tarbeck was exterminated, including Ellyn. After an unsuccessful battle against the Lannister host led by Tywin, Ser Reynard and the wounded Lord Roger took refuge in the mines underneath Castamere. Reynard, once his folk were safe, offered terms to Tywin. Instead Tywin ordered the sealing of Castamere's entrances and the diverting of nearby water into the mine, causing the deaths of all within.

The downfall of the Reynes is popularized in "The Rains of Castamere", a song which Tywin Lannister sometimes uses for intimidation.

Following the Red Wedding, Ser Rolph Spicer is awarded the Reynes' ruined seat of Castamere.

Jaime: There are no Tarbecks or Reynes.

History

The Rogare family from the Free City of Lys was once closely tied to the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros. Lady Larra Rogare was the wife of Prince Viserys Targaryen and her uncle Drazenko was the consort of Aliandra Martell, Princess of Dorne.

For some years after the Targaryen civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons, the Rogare Bank rivaled the Iron Bank of Braavos in size

Larra's father, Lysandro the Magnificent, proclaimed himself First Magister for Life, but the Rogares began to weaken when he and Drazenko died with a day of each other. Rival magisters resented Lysandro's heir, the ambitious Lysaro Rogare, who was scourged to death at the Temple of Trade. Lysaro's siblings were not executed, however, and Moredo Rogare, carrier of the Valyrian steel sword Truth, once led a campaign against Lys.

House Royce of Runestone is an old and powerful noble house of the Vale, sworn to House Arryn. Their seat is the castle Runestone, located on the coast of the narrow sea north of Gulltown. There is also cadet branch occupying the non-hereditary seat of the Gates of the Moon, located on the path that leads to the Eyrie.

The Royces of Runestone blazon their arms with black iron studs on bronze, bordered with runes, and their motto is "We Remember".

Contents

History

Bronze Kings

Calling themselves the Bronze Kings and wearing the Runic Crown, the Royce of Runestone were the most powerful First Men monarchs of the Vale in antiquity. Their rivals included House Shett of Gulltown, who carried the title King of the True Men and likewise claimed to date back ten thousand years to the Dawn Age.

After King Yorwyck VI Royce defeated the Shetts in several battles, King Osgood III Shett allied himself with Ser Gerold Grafton, an Andal warlord from Andalos across the narrow sea. Although they defeated the Bronze King, the death of Osgood in battle led House Grafton to claim Gulltown for themselves. Yorwyck later repelled several other Andal attacks.

High King

The last of the Bronze Kings was Yorwyck's young grandson, Robar II, who came to the throne when Andal invaders had conquered three-quarters of the Vale. Robar gained the allegiance of surviving First Men houses, including Belmores, Coldwaters, Hunters, Redforts, and Upcliffs, and he was proclaimed High King of the Vale, the Fingers, and the Mountains of the Moon.

Robar led the First Men to several victories, but he was eventually defeated Ser Artys Arryn's Andals in the Battle of the Seven Stars. The surviving Royces bent the knee and swore fealty to House Arryn, the new Kings of Mountain and Vale.

Targaryen Era

The Arryn kings submitted to House Targaryen during Aegon's Conquest.

In 37 AC, at the start of the reign of King Aenys I Targaryen, Ronnel Arryn, the Lord of the Eyrie, was imprisoned by his younger brother Jonos, who declared himself King of Mountain and Vale. Lord Allard Royce led a host which swept away rebels

Yorbert Royce, the Lord Protector of the Vale, attended the Great Council of 101 AC at Harrenhal, since Lady Jeyne Arryn was a minor at that time.

Lord Royce competed in a tourney at Maidenpool in 207 AC, but he was defeated by Ser Humfrey Hardyng.

Perra Royce was the first wife of Walder Frey, Lord of the Crossing.

Kyle Royce was a member of Brandon Stark's party when he went to King's Landing to demand Prince Rhaegar Targaryen's head for kidnapping his sister, Lyanna Stark. King Aerys II Targaryen imprisoned the party, summoned their fathers, and murdered them all, with the exception of Ethan Glover.

Nestor closes his gates against his cousin Bronze Yohn and the rest of the Lords Declarant. His garrison is less than 300 men, and each of the six lords outside has 1,000. He accompanies them when they climb to the Eyrie to treat with Lord Baelish.

During the feast that Aerys II Targaryen threw when Cersei Lannister first came to court, Lord Owen Merryweather talked about raising taxes on wine, prompting Lord Rykker to joke about Lord Tywin Lannister shitting gold. Tywin stared at Lord Rykker until Lord Rykker gave up and walked away.

During Robert's Rebellion, Ser Jaremy Rykker fought for Aerys, surrendering to House Lannister forces during the Sack of King's Landing. He was given the choice of execution or the Wall by Tywin Lannister, and chose the Night's Watch.
