Ricfriding

House Ricfriding is one of the twelve royal Talorian houses, having provided two Cyngs. The house used to be much more powerful than it now is, having been taken by surprise at the explosive growth of Houses Fylning and Hardwalden.
The arms of House Ricfriding are 'Quarterly, 1st and 4th Argent, a castle Or, 2nd and 3rd Sable'. These arms are interesting in that castles like those on the Ricfriding arms are completely unheard of in Talor. The nearest are in Lacrive, leading scholars to believe House Ricfriding migrated from there before or during the Great Gap.
== Notable Members of House Ricfriding ==
* Eomer Bonespear - 4th Cyng of Talor
* Seaxwulf of the Waves - 5th Cyng of Talor

== List of Heads of House Ricfriding ==
A Ricfriding is Head of the House if he is the most senior male in the main family line. Once head, he remains in power until his death. If a Ricfriding becomes Cyng, he skips the line of succession and automatically assumes the title, as was the case with Cyng Seaxwulf of the Waves. Heads under the age of 15 are assisted by regents, usually older relatives.
