House Hayford of Hayford is a noble house from Hayford in the Crownlands, less than a day's ride from King's Landing. It is sworn directly to the Iron Throne. Their blazon is green fretty over gold, a green pale wavy.[1][2]

History

During the Blackfyre Rebellion, Lord Hayford was a noted loyalist. He was named Hand of the King to Daeron II Targaryen just before the Battle of the Redgrass Field. Ser Arlan of Pennytree served him during the rebellion. Lord Hayford was slain by Lord Gormon Peake during the battle.[1] When Lord Bloodraven marched on Whitewalls to quash the Second Blackfyre Rebellion, among the houses who came in support were the Hayfords.[3]

Recent Events

A Clash of Kings

The current head and of the house is Lady Ermesande Hayford, a baby and the last of her line. She is in attendance during the Tourney for King Joffrey's 13th Name Day. Ermesande is made to marry Tyrek Lannister so the Lannisters can claim her lands. Soon afterwards Tyrek disappears in the riot of King's Landing, however, and is assumed dead.

A Feast for Crows

Ser Jaime Lannister camps his force beneath the walls of Hayford. He visits with the castellan and discusses the whereabouts of Tyrek. It seems that the war has not touched the Hayford lands much, although one of their vassals, House Hogg, was raided by forces under Ser Amory Lorch.[2]
