House Blacktyde

House Blacktyde is a noble house from the Iron Islands. They are sworn to House Greyjoy. Their seat is Blacktyde Castle, on the island of Blacktyde. Their sigil is vairy vert and sable.
== History ==
Qhored the Cruel, King of the Iron Islands, was considered by some to have been a member of House Blacktyde, even though he is remembered as being of House Hoare. 
King Joron I Blacktyde captured Gyles II Gardener, King of the Reach, and cut him to pieces to use him as bait. He also raided the Arbor and took away many of their women. 
Lord Baelor Blacktyde's father was killed during the Greyjoy Rebellion. After the rebellion was quashed, Baelor was taken as a hostage in Oldtown for eight years. When he returned to the Iron Islands he had converted to the Faith of the Seven.
Tristifer Botley served as a ward for House Blacktyde after Balon Greyjoy discovered that he intended to marry Asha Greyjoy. Joseran, the Maester of House Blacktyde, refused to send any of his letters to Asha.
