## History

Grand Maester Munkun claimed that it was Vhagar that killed Byron, but this seems likely to be a mistake. Vhagar was ridden by Prince Aemond Targaryen, who was on the same side of the conflict as House Swann. Ser Byron's squire wrote a letter to his daughter, claiming that Syrax killed his master.
House Frey

**House Frey of the Crossing** is one of the younger houses of the Riverlands. Their main seat is the Twins, a pair of castles that border the green fork of the Trident. Their Lords are called the Lords of the Crossing because their bridge is one of the few that cross that river, and they extract high tolls from anyone wishing to pass.

The house sigil is two blue towers united under a bridge on a silver-grey field, representing The Twins. The current head of the house hold is Walder Frey, the second oldest person in all of Westeros, next to Maester Aemon.

## History

The Freys of the Riverlands were originally small noble house dating back at least six centuries ago - before the start of the series. The founder of house Frey had a vision to create a great bridge that would connect the Green Forks to the Trident, and soon began the construction of The Twins. The bridge was ultimately completed by the founding Frey's grandson, who had used wooden timber keeps on both side of the bridge. Later generations of the family replaced it with stone keeps and renamed the bridge as The Twins. The Freys than extracted tolls from whoever wanted to cross between the rivers. House Frey quickly became one of the most powerful and richest houses in the Riverlands and the Trident. The house's rise to prominence eventually allowed other houses to look down on them as upstarters.

After Aegon's conquering of the Westeros, House Frey then swore fealty to their new overlords of the Riverlands, House Tully. The current head, Walder Frey, had greatly increase the size of his family, taking several wives and getting all of them with many children, so that he has hundreds of relatives and no one is sure who his lordship will pass to when he dies. Many of his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren fight amongst themselves and half of them are named Walder so as to please him. The Frey are bannermen to Riverrun, but they often refuse to act in wartime until suitably compensated or until they are sure of victory.

In A Clash of Kings, Robb Stark, the King in the North, wins their swords and loyalty by promising to wed a Frey maiden of his choosing. The Freys fought alongside him until A Storm of Swords, when Robb married Jeyne Westerling instead of his promised Frey bride. After, to win back the Freys, Robb and his mother Catelyn go to the Twins with their bannermen and attend the wedding of Edmure Tully (Catelyn's brother) to a Frey woman. After eating and drinking from the Frey's table, which ought to have given them guest rights, the Freys attack and slaughter all of Robb's men. They kill Robb and sew his direwolf's head to his body, and kill Catelyn Stark as well. This event becomes known as the Red Wedding, and damns many Freys in the eyes of other characters in the series.
Garth Greenhand

**Garth Greenhand**, also known as **Garth Greenhair** and **Garth the Green**, was a legendary High King of the First Men during the Dawn Age. He is the common ancestor of several houses across Westeros, especially in the Reach.

## History

High King Garth, according to legend, was the one who led the First Men from Essos to Westeros, across the Arm of Dorne. According to other legends, he was in Westeros before the rest of the First Men crossed the Arm, making him the first human in Westeros, and also the only human in Westeros at the time. Other legends claim that he was a god in human form, who demanded blood sacrifice from his worshippers to ensure a bountiful harvest.

Garth held great wisdom, and it is said that he taught the First Men how to farm. Some claim that he also tried to do the same with giants and the Children of the Forest, but he failed, being mocked by the Children in the process.

In some myths he not only brought fertility to land, but also to women, making barren ones fruitful on touch, even old women who were no longer able to have their blood.

Garth supposedly planted the Oakenseat, the ancient throne of which the Gardener kings of the Reach sat upon. The Oakenseat was destroyed by a Dornish army thousands of years later, however.

Today, the Maesters of the Citadel strongly deny most of the details told in the legends of Garth the Green.

House Osgrey

**House Osgrey** is an ancient and noble house that was founded at least 1,000 years before The Conquest. The house was founded by the Marshalls of the Northern marches under House Gardener. One of their most famous members was Ser Wilbert Osgrey, the Little Lion, who killed and was killed by King Lancel Lannister IV, thereby frustrating an invasion to the Reach. The house intermarried with House Florent, House Hightower and other prominent houses before becoming extinct, near the time of the Blackfyre Rebellion.
House Darklyn

**House Darklyn** is an extinct noble house of the Crownlands. Their sigil was fusily black and gold, 7 white escutcheons upon a red tierce.

## History

The Darklyns were a rich and powerful house who ruled Duskendale and the surrounding region as the Dusk Kings for more than a thousand years, at the height of their power exerting influence as far north as Crackclaw Point. They later bent the knee to Aegon the Conqueror and may have been among the first to do so, due to their proximity to the site of King's Landing.

The Darklyns served the Targaryens with distinction and honour. No less than seven sons of the house, more than any other, served in the Kingsguard. Ser Rolland Darklyn - the youngest member of the Kingsguard until Jaime Lannister - saved the life of one of the kings during a battle and was made a Kingsguard on the spot despite his grievous wounds. He died within the hour, but the king survived.

Circa 270 AL, Lord Denys Darklyn was convinced by his Myrish wife, Lady Serala, to stop paying taxes to the crown as a demonstration of his strength. King Aerys II Targaryen decided to handle the matter personally and came north to confront Lord Denys. Denys panicked and had the king seized. During this scuffle, Ser Gwayne Gaunt of the Kingsguard was killed by the Darklyn master-at-arms, Ser Symon Hollard. Lord Tywin Lannister, the Hand of the King, surrounded the town with a substantial host. The siege became known as the Defiance of Duskendale. Eventually, Ser Barristan Selmy of the Kingsguard led a sortie into the town which successfully rescued King Aerys.

At King Aerys' order, every member of House Darklyn was put to death. Their lands were confiscated (and later awarded to House Rykker). House Hollard, the Darklyns' closest allies, was likewise destroyed, with their castle being pulled down. The youngest member of the house, Dontos Hollard, was spared after the personal intervention of Barristan Selmy and grew up to be a knight before he was murdered during the War of the Five Kings.

For House Darklyn there was no such mercy. Lord Denys and his children were executed. Lady Serala was accounted a witch and her tongue and female parts were torn out before she was burned alive in the Targaryen fashion.

Although the Darklyns have been utterly destroyed, several families in Duskendale - the Darkes, Dargoods and Darkwoods - claim kinship to the house, perhaps in the hopes of eventually one day making a play for lordship.

* Rolland Darklyn

It was Quentyn that rescued Daemon when Daeron sent the knights of the Kingsguard after him.

House Mooton

**House Mooton** are an ancient and noble house from The Riverlands. Their seat is the castle and town of Maidenpool. Its overlord is House Tully. It is one of the main ports in the Bay of Crabs. The head of the house at the start of the novels was Lord William Mooton.

## History

The Mootons were petty kings during the time of the First Men. They were conquered by the Storm Kings, but they must have gained their independence because King Florian 'the Brave' Mooton was killed during the Andal Invasion. House Mooton were amongst the houses of the Riverlands that ended up sworn to the Storm Kings and then the Ironborn.

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.

House Mooton initially supported Rhaenyra Targaryen during the Dance of the Dragons, but after Lord Walys Mooton died at the hands of Sunfyre, House Mooton, under his brother Lord Manfryd Mooton, sided with King Aegon II Targaryen. 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. This is possibly because Ser Myles Mooton served as a squire to Prince Rhaegar Targaryen, and later went on to be amongst his friends. Myles later went on to be personally killed by Robert Baratheon during the Battle of the Bells.

## History

Harwin has been a member of the household guard at Winterfell since his youth, and he possibly worked as a stable boy before that, as his father, Hullen, was the Master of Horse at Winterfell. Harwin was at Winterfell when Lyanna Stark was still alive, as he remembers her skill at horse riding. He was also one of the guards privy to the rumours of an affair between Lord Eddard Stark and Ashara Dayne.

Arya remembers that it was Harwin who taught her how to ride when she was younger, often leading her pony round the Winterfell yard. He also taught Robb Stark and Jon Snow how to joust, often riding at quintain with them. He was known around the castle to drink too much during feasts.

## Books

### A Game of Thrones

Harwin rides out with Eddard Stark to execute the deserter Night's Watch ranger Gared. On the way back they encounter a dead direwolf, killed by a stag, and it's 6 pups. He says that it would be impossible to keep them, after Robb asks his father whether or not they can take them back.

Arya resents him for not standing up to Sandor Clegane when the Hound murders the butcher's boy, Mycah.

Harren Hoare

King **Harren Hoare**, better known as **Harren the Black**, was one of the three Hoare kings who held the title King of the Isles and the Rivers. He constructed the grand Hoare seat of Harrenhal, which he named in his own honour.

## Appearance and Character

At the time of the War of Conquest, Harren was an old, grey man who wore black armour. His cruelty was famous throughout the other kingdoms of Westeros.

## History

Harren was born the son of King Halleck Hoare, and the grandson of King Harwyn Hoare, who had extended the Ironborn control by conquering the Riverlands from King Arrec Durrandon.

Harren's father had made his seat at a modest tower house at Fairmarket, where the storm king had been defeated. Harren designed a grander castle, and then commanded construction over his great seat, which took forty years to complete.

The Riverlands and Iron Islands were drained of wealth over the project, and thousands of captives died in the quarries, chained to sledges, or working on the towering walls or five high towers of the castle. Weirwoods were cut down to be used as rafters.

Harren finally completed his grand design the day that Aegon Targaryen, Lord of Dragonstone, landed in Westeros, intent on conquering. Aegon was victorious over Harren's men at the Battle of the Reeds, but Harren's sons would claim a victory in the Wailing Willows. Whilst they were returning to Harrenhal across the God's Eye, however, they were killed by Aegon and his dragon, Balerion. Harren's tyrannical rule over the riverlords prompted an uprising, and many noble houses, led by Lord Edmyn Tully, would side with Aegon in the war.

Harren took refuge behind the walls of Harrenhal, the largest castle in the Seven Kingdoms, and rejected Aegon's proposal of retaining the castle in exchange for his surrender. Aegon, on the back of Balerion, the Black Dread, rose high into the sky and bathed Harrenhal in dragonfire. Harren and his sons were amongst the casualties, ending the black line of House Hoare.

Harren's death led to a power vacuum in both the Riverlands and the Iron Islands. Aegon rose Edmyn Tully up as the new Lord Paramount of the Trident, and, after supressing a number of rebellions, would allow the Ironborn to choose their own leader. They chose Lord Vickon Greyjoy, who would become the new Lord Paramount of the Iron Islands.
Hagon Hoare

King **Hagon Hoare**, also known as **Hagon the Heartless**, was a King of the Iron Islands from House Hoare.

## History

Hagon took the throne when his older brother, Harmund III Hoare, was dethroned and mutilated by the Drowned Men, led by the Shrike. He quickly expelled the Faith of the Seven from the Iron Islands. He allowed the Shrike to mutilate his mother, Queen Lelia Lannister, and then return her to her family home of Casterly Rock. Her outraged nephew, the King of the Rock, responded by invading the Iron Islands.

Ser Aubrey Crakehall, a commander of the Lannister armies, would defeat Hagon on Great Wyk during the seventh year of fighting and would capture Hoare Castle. Before being hanged, Hagon was mutilated in the same way that his mother had been.
