House Clegane

House Clegane of Clegane's Keep is an extinct vassal House that held fealty to House Lannister of Casterly Rock. Their lands were southeast of Casterly Rock and consisted of a small patch of land and a modest House. They were landed knights rather than a full noble House, but had strong ties to the Lannisters.
The former head of the family was Ser Gregor Clegane, known as "The Mountain That Rides," who has since been named to the Kingsguard. Gregor's younger brother, Sandor Clegane, known as "The Hound," was the rightful lord of House Clegane.
The Clegane sigil is three black dogs on a dark yellow background. The three dogs signify the three dogs that died fighting off the lioness that attacked Tytos Lannister.
