House Bolton

**House Bolton of the Dreadfort** is a noble house of the North, sworn to House Stark. House Bolton are among their most dangerous and uneasy allies, whose customs and past history made them bitter enemies through centuries of warring.

Their sigil is a red flayed man on a pink field strewn with red blood drops. Their words are *"Our Blades are Sharp"*.

## History

House Bolton is a house of First Men descent, who once ruled as Red Kings of the Dreadfort, the biggest enemies of the Kings of Winter. The Boltons are known for their custom of flaying their enemies alive, hence their unofficial motto "A naked man has few secrets, a flayed man has none", some even wearing the skins of slain Stark kings as cloaks.

King Royce II Bolton took over Winterfell and burned it. An action repeated 300 yeas later by his descendant Royce IV Bolton, known as the Redarm, who ripped the entrails of his victims with his bare hands.

The Boltons finally submitted to the Starks when King Rogar Bolton, called the Huntsman, had all his sons taken to Winterfell as wards, just as the Andal invasion was beginning. House Bolton aided Theon Stark in defeating and slaying Andal warlord Argos Seventstar at the Battle of the Weeping Water.

Some time later House Bolton rose in an unsuccessful rebellion alongside House Greystark of Wolf's Den, and while the Bolton survived the rebellion, the Greystarks didn't.

During the Rape of the Three Sisters, Lord Belthasar Bolton had a pavilion made with the flayed skins of a hundred Sistermen.

Despite officially submitting to Winterfell and agreeing to abandon their practice for flaying, rumors persist they continue to do it in secret, and have a secret pavilion at the Dreadfort with the skins of their foes.

He fought under Artys leadership during the Battle of the Seven Stars and despite his wounds, he defeated all the champions of Lord Redfort, cutting off Lord Redfort's arm with a single cut as well. He also killed Ursula Upcliff by ripping her head off with his bare hands.
