History
During the First Blackfyre Rebellion, Lord Hayford was a noted loyalist who 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]

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 on King Joffrey's name day.[4] Ermesande is made to marry Tyrek Lannister so the Lannisters can claim her lands.[5] Soon afterwards Tyrek disappears in the riot of King's Landing, however, and is assumed dead.[6]

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 of the Five Kings has not touched the Hayford lands much, although one of their vassals, House Hogg, was raided by forces under Ser Amory Lorch.[2]
