House Rowan of Goldengrove is one of the most prominent and old families from the Reach, its dominions extending all along its northern borders. This may mean that the Rowans were made Marshall of the Northmarch to replace the declining House Osgrey, now their bannermen. Their blazon is a golden tree on silver.[1][2] Their words are not mentioned in the books.
Like several other major Reach houses, the Rowans can trace their descent from the legendary Garth Greenhand,[3] through his daughter Rowan Gold-Tree.[4]

History
Lord Thaddeus Rowan declared Goldengrove for the blacks during the Targaryen civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons, fighting in the battle on the Honeywine.[5] He later became a regent and Hand of the King during the regency of Aegon III.[6]
Ser Nyles Rowan participated in the tourney at Ashford Meadow in 209 AC.[7]
Lord Rowan was the liege lord of both Ser Eustace Osgrey and Lady Rohanne Webber. He was also distant kin to Lady Webber, since his sister had married a cousin of Rohanne's father, Wendell Webber.[8]
