Head Unknown
Region Crownlands
Founder Jonquil Darke (possibly)

House Darke is a house from the crownlands. They are said to be distant kin to the extinct Darklyns of Duskendale.

History

Jonquil Darke, known as the Scarlet Shadow, was the first known Darke. Being the bastard daughter of Lord Darklyn, it is possible she was the founder of the house. She became a sworn shield of Queen Alysanne Targaryen and dueled a wildling woman at the court of Lord Theomore Manderly when Alysanne visited White Harbor.[1]

The Darkes sided with the blacks in the Dance of the Dragons. Ser Harrold Darke was killed at Dragonstone in defense of Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen.[2]
