During the War of Conquest a Lord Mooton sided with a Lord of House Darklyn, but both were killed fighting Orys Baratheon. The lands and titles of House Mooton went to Lord Jon Mooton, who fought for King Aegon I Targaryen at the Field of Fire, killing off anyone who escaped the dragons.

Rhaenyra issued a decree for the execution of members of House Mooton, but she lost her power shortly afterwards. Lord Manfryd Mooton served as the regent of King Aegon III Targaryen until his death in 134AC.

House Mooton followed House Darry against their liege lord, Hoster Tully, during Robert's Rebellion, following House Targaryen.

He broke his collarbone and elbow in a joust with Ser Criston Cole during that tourney, causing the fool Mushrooms to thereafter name him Brokenbones. He traveled to Dragonstone with the Princess as her sworn shield in 114 AC.

Harwin died in a fire at Harrenhal alongside his father. Some blamed the legendary curse of Harrenhal for their deaths, whilst others believe that the two men were murdered. Popular suspects include King Viserys I Targaryen, Lord Corlys Velaryon, Prince Daemon Targaryen and Larys Strong.

## Controversy

Due to Harwin's closeness to Princess Rhaenyra there were ellegations that he may be the father of her first three children, Jacaerys, Lucerys and Joffrey Velaryon. These allegations are the reason that Viserys, Daemon and Corlys could have wanted Harwin to meet his death, and why Criston Cole, another rumoured lover of Rhaenyra, may have done him so much damage in the tourney.

## History

House Peake is an ancient house of First Men origin. According to the legends of the Reach, House Peake, along with House Florent and House Ball, were descendants of three sons of Florys the Fox, a daughter of Garth Greenhand.

The Peakes are historic rivals of House Manderly. King Gwayne III Gardener managed to get the two houses to accept his judgement on their quarrel without a single battle being fought.

Near the end of the reign of Garth X Gardener, a problem of succession arose in the Reach. Garth left no sons, but one of his daughter had married Lord Manderly, and another Lord Peake, with both determined to see their wife crowned. This became a war, with other lords picking sides. Eventually, Ser Osmund Tyrell, the High Steward of Highgarden stepped in and, with the help of other Lords, defeated both houses and crowned a distant cousin as King Mern VI Gardener.

The Peakes would triumph over the Manderlys when Lord Lorimar Peake drove his historical enemy from the Reach, under the suggestion of King Perceon III Gardener. House Peake then acquired the Manderly seat of Dunstonbury.

During the Dance of the Dragons, Lord Unwin Peake sided with the green forces, and led the Reach army after the Second Battle of Tumbleton. He was named as a regent after the death of Lord Corlys Velaryon. He would later become Hand of the King to King Aegon III Targaryen, but would resign from the post when Aegon refused to marry his daughter.

Lord Gormon Peake was a firm supporter of Daemon I Blackfyre, and sided with him in the First Blackfyre Rebellion. Gormon was regarded as one of the finest knights of his generation. As a result of their treason, House Peake was stripped of Dunstonbury and Whitegrove. Gormon served as a member of the entourage of Daemon II Blackfyre, and was executed for treason when the plot was discovered by Brynden Rivers.

The Peakes rose against House Targaryen again in 233 AC, in an event that became known as the Peake Uprising. King Maekar I Targaryen rode to deal with the event, but was killed when a rock thrown from the Starpike battlements crushed his head. Lord Robert Reyne and Ser Tywald Lannister were also killed during the Storming of Starpike. Lord Roger Reyne, in retaliation to his father's death, would kill seven Peakes in the aftermath of the Uprising, before Prince Aegon Targaryen prevented him from killing any others.

## History

House Reed can claim descent from the First Men back before the Andal Invasion. They populated the Neck as their seat because it was a strong defensive position. House Reed swore fealty to the Starks of Winterfell thousands of years before, when they were still Kings in the North.

A young crannogman from House Reed, possibly Lord Howland, decided to explore out of the neck, travelling south to the Isle of Faces and then on to Harrenhal, where the Tourney of Harrenhal was underway. This crannogman met Brandon Stark, Eddard Stark, Lyanna Stark and Benjen Stark, who helped avenge his honour.

Howland Reed then joined Eddard during Robert's Rebellion as one of his personal defenders. He followed Eddard to the Tower of Joy, where he was the only other survivor. Eddard said that Howland Reed saved his life when he confronted Ser Arthur Dayne.
