Valonqar has been stated to mean "little brother", so why does this page include a number of females to fill the position? Perhaps some explanation should be added for that inclusion.--[[User:Rhaenys_Targaryen|Rhaenys_Targaryen]] ([[User talk:Rhaenys_Targaryen|talk]]) 04:29, 19 April 2015 (CDT)
:High Valyrian is gender-neutral. Hence Maester Aemon's realization that the "prince which was promised" could also be a princess. [[User:Archaeology|Archaeology]] ([[User talk:Archaeology|talk]]) 16:39, 20 April 2015 (CDT)
::High Valyrian is not stated to be gender neutral necessarily. Maester Aemon speaks of dragons being male and then female, and says that the error crept in from translation, where the Prince that was Promised is concerned... But that in no way is a confirmation that High Valyrian is gender neutral for every word ;) Important difference. --[[User:Rhaenys_Targaryen|Rhaenys_Targaryen]] ([[User talk:Rhaenys_Targaryen|talk]]) 17:04, 20 April 2015 (CDT)

[[File:MK Aegon I is crowned.jpg|[[Aegon I]] is crowned in the Starry Sept|thumb|350px|right]]
The '''Starry Sept''' is a large [[sept]] in [[Oldtown]]. It was the seat of the [[High Septon]] for a thousand years until the [[War of Conquest]]. The Starry Sept has black marble walls and arched windows.{{Ref|AFFC|Prologue}}

==History==
When [[Aegon I Targaryen]] landed at what would become [[King's Landing]], the [[High Septon (War of Conquest)|High Septon]] in Oldtown locked himself inside the Starry Sept and prayed for seven whole days while refusing to eat or drink.

At the end of the seventh day he emerged from his fast and declared that the Faith would not fight Aegon's Conquest, proclaiming that if they did Oldtown would burn and the Starry Sept would be destroyed. Lord [[House Hightower|Hightower]] heeded the prophecy and welcomed Aegon when he appeared before his gates. Aegon was then annointed in the Faith when he became king.{{Ref|AFFC|28}}

[[File:Sept of Remembrance.jpg|thumb|right|350px|[[Maegor I Targaryen]], on the back of [[Balerion]], destroys the Sept of Remembrance, as depicted by Jordi Gonzalez Escamilla in ''[[The World of Ice and Fire]]''.]]
The '''Sept of Remembrance''' used to be the main Sept in [[King's Landing]]. Its construction began during the reign of [[Aegon I Targaryen|Aegon the Conquerer]]. It was built on the [[Hill of Rhaenys]]. It became of base of operation for the [[Warrior's Sons]] during the [[Faith Militant uprising]].

On the thirtieth day since the [[trial of seven]] between [[Damon the Devout]] and [[Maegor I Targaryen]], hundreds of [[Warrior's Sons]] gathered for their morning prayers. Maegor mounted [[Balerion]] and unleashed fire upon the Sept of Remembrance without warning. As the sept burned, some tried to flee, but were cut down by the archers and spearmen that Maetgor had ready. It is said that the screams of the burning and dying men were heard throughout [[King's Landing]]. The burning was so immense that scholars claim there was a pall over King's Landing for seven days.

After burning the Sept to the ground, Maegor declared a large [[Dragonpit|domed stable]] would be built on the hill for [[House Targaryen|Targaryens]] to house their royal [[dragons]]. {{ref|twoiaf| Maegor I}}

[[File:Great septon of Baelor by MarcSimonetti.jpg|350px|thumb|Great Sept of Baelor by Marc Simonetti ©]]


The '''Great Sept of Baelor''', also called the '''Sept of Baelor''', is the center of religious worship for the [[Faith of the Seven]] and the seat of the [[High Septon]] of the Faith. It is located in [[King's Landing]], the capital of the [[Seven Kingdoms]]. It is named after the Septon King [[Baelor I Targaryen|Baelor the Blessed]].



==History==
The sept was constructed by [[Baelor I Targaryen|Baelor the Blessed]], replacing the [[Starry Sept]] of [[Oldtown]] as the center of the Faith in the [[Seven Kingdoms]].

==Description==
:''See also: [[:Category:Images of the Great Sept of Baelor|Images of the Great Sept of Baelor]]''
The Great Sept of Baelor is named after the Septon King [[Baelor I Targaryen|Baelor the Blessed]]. It is located at the top of [[Visenya's hill]], surrounded by a white marble plaza. It features a statue of Baelor, which stands tall and serene upon his plinth; his face is a study of benevolence. {{Ref|aDwD|65}} and large gardens, capable of holding hundreds surround the sept.{{Ref|aDwD|32}}

The sept itself is an impressive marble domed structure, It has seven crystal towers, each of which has bells. Only on momentous occasions, such as the death of a king, are all of them rung.{{Ref|aGoT|18}} There are several sets of doors leading into the Sept, septons use [[Father (the Seven)|the Father's]] Doors, septas [[Mother (the Seven)|the Mother's]] Doors and [[silent sisters]] [[Stranger (the Seven)|the Stranger's]] Doors.{{Ref|aCoK|8}} Around the doors leading into the building is a raised marble pulpit from which a septon can address a gathering crowd.

Past the doors is the entrance hall of the sept, which is known as the ''Hall of Lamps''. Those entering the hall walk beneath suspended globes of colored leaded glass.{{Ref|aDwD|8}} Through the double-doors is the sept-proper, with seven broad aisles which meet beneath the dome of glass, gold, and crystal.{{Ref|aDwD|8}} Its floors made out of marble and great windows of leaded, colored glass, and the seven altars are set about with candles.{{Ref|aDwD|32}} Different altars are used for different ceremonies, depending on their purpose. For example, marriages are always conducted at the altar between two towering gilded statues of the Father and the Mother.{{Ref|aSoS|59}}

Below are tombs where kings are laid to rest,{{Ref|aDwD|67}} cells for penitents,{{Ref|aDwD|32}} and vaults that hold costly vestments, rings, crystal crowns, and other treasures of the Faith.{{Ref|aDwD|32}}

===''A Clash of Kings''===

Archaeology: /* See also */

[[File:Wyman Manderly by cabepfir.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Lord [[Wyman Manderly]], current Lord Marshal of the Mander.]]

'''Lord Marshal of the Mander''' is a title claimed by [[House Manderly]] of [[White Harbor]]. It applies dominion over the mighty river [[Mander]], located in the [[Reach]].

==History==
The Reachman house, which once ruled the riverbanks of the Mander from their seat at [[Dunstonbury]], were exiled by [[House Gardener]] in ancient times. Arriving in the [[North]], they were welcomed by [[House Stark]], who granted them the [[Wolf's Den]].{{ref|AWOIAF| Mander}}{{ref|TWOIAF| North}} Despite centuries spent in the North, the Manderlys have maintained their southron [[Faith of the Seven|faith]] and traditions, and uphold claims to several ancestral titles - among them membership in the extinct [[Order of the Green Hand]], and the title of Lord Marshal of the Mander.{{ref|ADWD|19}}

The position is presumably hereditary, and so it can be assumed that the Lords of House Manderly prior to the current holder [[Wyman Manderly]] held the title as well.

Wyman is amiable and has a loud, booming laugh. He is mocked by his own people as '''Lord Lamprey'''.{{Ref|ACOK|16}} By his own admission, and because of his physical appearance, Wyman is seen by many as craven and foolish, however, this is a clever front; he is shrewd, calculating and intelligent. He is also staunchly loyal to [[House Stark]].{{Ref|aDwD|29}}

==History==
Wyman loved to ride horses as a boy and he won some small acclaim in the lists when he was a young man. However, he has grown too big to ride.{{ref|ADWD|29}} Wyman has been a widower since about {{date|291}}.{{ref|acok|16}}

Wyman participated in the [[Battle of the Trident]] during [[Robert's Rebellion]]. He granted the [[Wolf's Den]] to Ser [[Bartimus]] after the latter saved Wyman's life in the battle.{{ref|ADWD|29}}

==Recent Events==

While in [[King's Landing]], Lord [[Eddard Stark]] asks his wife, Lady [[Catelyn Tully]], to instruct Lord Wyman to strengthen the defenses of [[White Harbor]] and keep them well garrisoned.{{ref|AGOT|20}} Wyman meets Catelyn when she comes ashore at White Harbor after her return from the [[Eyrie]]. He stays to command the defense of the city when [[Robb Stark]] calls his banners. He sends his two sons, [[Wylis Manderly|Wylis]] and [[Wendel Manderly|Wendel]], in his absence.{{Ref|AGOT|55}}

===''A Clash of Kings''===
Wyman comes to [[Winterfell]] to partake in the [[harvest feast]], bringing a retinue of knights, retainers, and entertainers. To [[Bran Stark]], Ser [[Rodrik Cassel]], and Maester [[Luwin]] he proposes to mint new coinage for Robb, the new [[King in the North]], and a new war fleet for the [[North]]. He also offers himself or his son Wendel as a possible new husband for the widowed Lady [[Donella Hornwood]].{{Ref|ACOK|16}} Despite his size, he dances gracefully with [[Beth Cassel]] during the harvest feast.{{ref|aCoK|21}} When [[Ramsay Snow]], the Bastard of Bolton, kidnaps and forcibly marries Lady Hornwood, Wyman moves quickly to seize [[Hornwood]] and prevent [[House Bolton]] from having it.{{ref|aCoK|28}}

In response to [[Theon Greyjoy]]'s [[capture of Winterfell]], Wyman sends a dozen barges packed with [[knight]]s, warhorses, and siege engines up the [[White Knife]] to join Ser [[Rodrik Cassel]]'s army.{{ref|ACOK|56}} However, these Stark loyalists are betrayed by Ramsay and [[House Bolton]] in the [[battle at Winterfell]].{{ref|AGOT|66}}

===''A Dance with Dragons''===
[[File:Jake Murray manderlys scheme.jpg|thumb|450px|Lord Wyman Manderly with his [[Frey Pies/Theories|three pies]]. - by Jake Murray. © Fantasy Flight Games.]]
[[Stannis Baratheon]] sends a letter to [[White Harbor]] that demands fealty to him as king from Lord Wyman. He responds with obfuscation, speaking of his age and infirmity.{{ref|aDwD|3}}

[[Davos Seaworth]] arrives to treat with Lord Manderly on behalf of Stannis and he is brought before him at the [[Merman's Court]]. A large audience is present at court, with three Freys attending ([[Rhaegar Frey|Rhaegar]], [[Symond Frey|Symond]], and [[Jared Frey|Jared]]), as well as the family of his surviving son, [[Wylis Manderly|Wylis]]. In return for the return of Wylis and peace with the [[Iron Throne]], Wyman agrees to marry a daughter of Lord [[Walder Frey]] and to marry his granddaughters [[Wynafryd Manderly|Wynafryd]] and [[Wylla Manderly|Wylla]] to [[Rhaegar Frey|Rhaegar]] and [[Little Walder Frey]], respectively. Wyman also agrees to relinquish his claim to [[Hornwood]].{{ref|ADWD|19}} After Lord Wyman hears Davos's plea to join Stannis's cause, he orders Davos's execution due to his loyalty to [[House Lannister]], the Iron Throne, and his faith in the Freys' explanation of the [[Red Wedding]] being [[Robb Stark]]'s work.{{ref|aDwD|19}}

Instead of executing Davos, Wyman executes another prisoner in the Onion Knight's place and sends Davos to the [[Wolf's Den]], a prison in White Harbor. The other prisoner's head and hands are removed, dipped in tar, and the unnamed prisoner's fingers are removed in order to make the remains which are displayed in public look truly like Davos's. The Freys write to King's Landing stating that Manderly loyally ordered the execution of the Onion Knight. Wyman Manderly's trick works, and the Iron Throne returns his only living son, Wylis, from captivity.

During the celebration feast welcoming Wylis home to White Harbor, Wyman meets secretly in a room of the [[New Castle]] with Davos and [[Robett Glover]]. He apologizes to Davos for the way in which he has been treated, and explains that the need for all the acting and deception was to trick the Lannisters and Freys into releasing his son from captivity and make them think he is a fat, stupid oaf who fears them. Manderly explains to Davos that he has learned from a survivor of the [[sack of Winterfell]], [[Wex Pyke]], that it was [[Ramsay Snow|Ramsay Bolton]] who was responsible for the massacre. He also explains to Davos that he has learned from Wex that [[Rickon Stark]] is alive and he needs a smuggler as opposed to a normal sailor to retrieve him from his current location, [[Skagos]]. Wyman promises Davos he will swear allegiance to Stannis if Davos does this task for him.{{ref|aDwD|29}}

After he and Davos reach an agreement, Manderly leaves to attend the wedding of Ramsay Bolton to "[[Jeyne Poole|Arya Stark]]" with an armed escort. Before doing so, he gifts his three Frey guests a palfrey each; guest gifts are given to guests when they leave their host's protection, meaning they are no longer under the protection of [[guest right]].{{ref|aDwD|46}} With him, Manderly brings a huge supply of food to Ramsay's wedding at [[Winterfell]], but he brings no hostage as commanded by [[Roose Bolton]], the new [[Warden of the North]]. This is unsettling to Roose, but with word of Stannis marching on Winterfell, Roose cannot quarrel with Wyman as he is in need of his knights.

The three Freys do not arrive with Wyman. He claims they rode ahead of him, being that he cannot ride a horse and instead travelled by boat. [[Hosteen Frey|Hosteen]] and [[Aenys Frey]] suspect Manderly of foul play.{{ref|aDwD|32}} At the wedding feast, Wyman is in a very jolly humor, laughing and jesting and calling out songs for the singer [[Mance Rayder|Abel]] to sing. He then presents three huge pies. He himself serves them, the first steaming portions he gives to Roose Bolton and his wife [[Walda Frey]], the next to the sons of Walder Frey, Ser [[Hosteen Frey]] and Ser [[Aenys Frey]]. Wyman declares,
{{Quote|The best pie you have ever tasted, my lords. Wash it down with [[wine|Arbor gold]] and savor every bite. [[Frey Pies/Theories|I know I shall]].{{Ref|aDwD|37}}}}

Wyman asks Abel to sing of the [[Rat Cook]], most probably intended to make [[Red Wedding|violators]] of the [[guest right]] etiquette uncomfortable.{{ref|aDwD|37}} Roose Bolton does not eat or drink anything unless he sees Wyman taste it first.

Among the snowmen that squires build along the battlements of Winterfell, one resembling Wyman is the fattest snowman [[Theon Greyjoy]] has ever seen.{{ref|ADWD|41}} When several men-at-arms in the castle are murdered, and once Theon is dismissed as a suspect, suspicion is cast upon Manderly ordering the deaths. When [[Little Walder Frey]] is murdered, [[Hosteen Frey|Hosteen]] openly accuses Wyman, who denies the charge yet at the same time insults [[House Frey]], which causes an enraged Hosteen to attack Wyman. Wyman's throat is nearly slit open but his knights intervene. He is treated by Maester [[Medrick]] for his wounds.{{ref|aDwD|51}}

'''House Manderly of White Harbor''' is a noble family in [[the North]] whose seat is the [[New Castle]] in the city of [[White Harbor]]. They are among the most powerful and loyal vassals of [[House Stark]] as well as the richest northern family due to their control of the only city in the region. Unlike most other northern houses,{{ref|AGOT|53}} the Manderlys follow the [[Faith of the Seven]] instead of the [[old gods]], as the family originated in [[the Reach]].

The Manderlys' blazon is a white merman with dark green hair, beard and tail, carrying a black trident, over a blue-green field.{{ref|AGOT|55}}<ref>The Citadel. Heraldry: [http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/Heraldry/Houses/2/#In the North]</ref> Their words do not appear in the books, neither has [[George R. R. Martin]] submitted them in semi-canon material.

The Lord of White Harbor, [[Wyman Manderly]], influences all lands and houses east of the mouth of the [[White Knife]], including Houses [[House Locke|Locke]], [[House Woolfield|Woolfield]], and [[House Flint of Widow's Watch|Flint of Widow's Watch]].{{ref|ADWD|29}} The Manderlys' dominion includes the [[Sheepshead Hills]]{{ref|AWOIAF| Sheepshead Hills}} and the [[Broken Branch]],{{ref|AWOIAF| Broken Branch}} as well as the allegiance of [[Ramsgate]].{{ref|AWOIAF| Ramsgate}} Their bannermen includes a dozen petty lords and a hundred landed knights.{{Ref|ADWD|29}}

==History==
===Kingdom of the Reach===
The Manderlys are an ancient line who once lived along the banks of the mighty river [[Mander]] in the [[Kingdom of the Reach]], and some claim the river was named after them.{{ref|AWOIAF| Mander}} A noble house of great lords descended from the [[First Men]], they held the castle of [[Dunstonbury]] as their seat and had a fierce rivalry with [[House Peake]].{{ref|TWOIAF}}

During the reign of the [[House Gardener|Gardener kings]] in the Reach, King [[Gwayne III Gardener|Gwayne III]] the Fat managed to persuade Lords Manderly and Peake to accept his judgement on their quarrel, and do fealty for their lands, without any bloodshed. Near the end of the long reign of King [[Garth X Gardener|Garth X]] Greybeard, a problem with the succession arose as Garth had fathered no sons and only sired two daughters, one of whom had been married to Lord Manderly, and the other to Lord Peake. Both lords were determined that their own wife should succeed the throne and the rivalry between them was marked by betrayal, conspiracy and murder, and soon escalated to open war with many lords joining the cause of both sides. The anarchy that followed lasted for almost two decades until Ser [[Osmund Tyrell]], the High Steward of [[Highgarden]], made common cause with the other lords of the Reach and defeated the Peakes and Manderlys. He placed a distant cousin of the previous king on the throne who ascended as King [[Mern VI Gardener]].{{ref|TWOIAF}}

===Exile and White Harbor===
According to Lady [[Rohanne Webber]], House Manderly left or were driven away from the Reach about a thousand years ago.{{ref|tss}} Lord [[Godric Borrell]] further refines the time period to "no more than nine hundred years ago", claiming the House had overreached itself and been repelled by the "green hands",{{Ref|ADWD|9}} a reference to the [[House Gardener|Gardener]] kings and their sigil.{{ref|AWOIAF| White Harbor}} According to Maester [[Yandel]], the exile of House Manderly is credited to Lord [[Lorimar Peake]] upon the behest of King [[Perceon III Gardener]], who feared the Manderlys' growing influence and power in the Reach.{{ref|TWOIAF}}

[[Wylla Manderly]] proclaims that the Manderlys, sore and friendless and in peril of their lives, fled north and were protected and welcomed by the [[House Stark|Starks]] of [[Winterfell]] as their own bannermen a thousand years before the [[War of Conquest]]. The Starks awarded the [[Wolf's Den]] to the Manderlys and tasked them with defending the White Knife in return for swearing an oath that they would always be loyal subjects of House Stark. This history instilled the Manderlys with great loyalty to their new liege lords.{{ref|ADWD|19}}

The city of White Harbor was built by the Manderlys with the wealth they had brought from the Reach and they developed it over the following centuries.{{ref|ADWD|19}} It is the smallest of the five cities of [[Westeros]], and is the main northern port for commerce and naval transport. The [[New Castle]], built to replace the aging Wolf's Den, resembles their previous castle [[Dunstonbury]] in the Reach.{{ref|TWOIAF}} The Manderlys are one of the few great houses of the North to follow the [[Faith of the Seven]] instead of the [[old gods]] and thus have a strong tradition of [[knight]]hood.{{ref|AGOT|53}}

===Targaryen Era===
House Manderly enjoyed great relations to both their liege lords, the Starks, and their sovereigns, the [[House Targaryen|Targaryens]]. Princess [[Viserra Targaryen]], the wild and high-spirited daughter of King [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen|Jaehaerys I]] and Good Queen [[Alysanne Targaryen|Alysanne]], was betrothed to Lord Manderly, but she apparently died by falling from a horse while racing drunkenly through the streets of King's Landing. Lady [[Jeyne Manderly]] wed [[Rickon Stark (son of Cregan)|Rickon Stark]], eldest son and supposed heir to Lord [[Cregan Stark]] and gave him two daughters, [[Serena Stark|Serena]] and [[Sansa Stark (daughter of Rickon)|Sansa]]. Lady [[Myriame Manderly]] married [[Rodwell Stark]] and became Lady of Winterfell upon her husband's accession.{{ref|TWOIAF}}

House Manderly supported [[Rhaenys Targaryen (daughter of Aemon)|Rhaenys Targaryen]] in the [[Great Council of 101]] at [[Harrenhal]]. During the [[Dance of the Dragons]], Prince [[Jacaerys Velaryon]] traveled to White Harbor and Winterfell and convinced the North to join [[the blacks]]. Lord Manderly sent warriors led by his sons, Ser [[Medrick Manderly|Medrick]] and Ser [[Torrhen Manderly|Torrhen]], to support [[Rhaenyra Targaryen]].{{ref|tpatq}} Torrhen served as one of the regents of King [[Aegon III Targaryen]] after the war, resigning in {{Date|132}} after the deaths of his father and brother from [[Winter Fever]]. When Aegon came of age in {{Date|136}}, he ended the regency and dismissed the [[Hand of the King]], Lord Manderly.{{ref|TWOIAF}}

===Robert's Rebellion===
When Lord [[Eddard Stark]] called the northern banners to join [[Robert's Rebellion]] against King [[Aerys II Targaryen]], Lord [[Wyman Manderly]] led the Manderlys south. Wyman fought at the [[Battle of the Trident]], rewarding his retainer Ser [[Bartimus]] for saving his life by making him castellan of the Wolf's Den, now White Harbor's prison.

==Recent Events==
===''A Game of Thrones''===
After learning of the [[catspaw|assassination attempt]] on his son [[Bran Stark|Bran's]] life, Lord [[Eddard Stark]] instructs his wife [[Catelyn Tully|Catelyn]] to have Lord [[Wyman Manderly]] strengthen [[White Harbor]].{{ref|AGOT|20}}

After leaving the [[Vale of Arryn]], Catelyn meets the Manderlys at White Harbor. Because of Eddard's arrest in [[King's Landing]], a Manderly army, led by Ser [[Wylis Manderly|Wylis]] and Ser [[Wendel Manderly|Wendel]], joins [[Robb Stark]] at [[Moat Cailin]] when marching south against the [[House Lannister|Lannisters]]. Their force consists of near 1,500 men, including some 20 knights with their squires, 200 mounted lances, swordsmen and freeriders, and the remaining foot armed with spears, pikes and tridents. Wyman remains at White Harbor to watch over the city.{{ref|AGOT|55}} When the northern army splits at [[the Twins]], Wendel accompanies Robb to free [[Riverrun]], and although he is already a mature man, he is counted among the thirty young sons of lords that form [[Robb's personal guard]]. Meanwhile, Wylis leads the White Harbor infantry with Lord [[Roose Bolton]] on his march south, and is captured at the [[Battle of the Green Fork]].

===''A Clash of Kings''===
While at [[Winterfell]] for the [[harvest feast]], Lord Wyman meets with [[Bran Stark]], Ser [[Rodrik Cassel]], and Maester [[Luwin]]. He offers to [[Old Mint|mint]] coins for Robb, informs them of White Harbor's defenses, and proposes to build the king a new warfleet of galleys, with Rodrik saying he will inform Robb of the proposal. Later during the feast, Rodrik commands [[Hother Umber|Hother]] and [[Mors Umber]] to work with Wyman in building longships to combat [[wildlings]].{{ref|ACOK|16}}

Lady [[Donella Hornwood]] (née Manderly) is widowed by the death of Lord [[Halys Hornwood]] on the Green Fork. During the harvest feast, Lord Wyman advances his claim for the [[House Hornwood]] lands, going on to offer to wed his cousin. Ultimately this does not occur, as Donella is forcefully wed when she returns to her lands and is locked away to die by [[Ramsay Snow]], the Bastard of [[House Bolton|Bolton]]. In response, Wyman seizes [[Hornwood]] to prevent Ramsay from occupying it,{{ref|ACOK|28}} and Manderly knights attack Bolton men in the Hornwood forests. News reaches Winterfell via Ser Rodrik, but he does not have the manpower to stop them.{{ref|ACOK|35}}

In the south, Wendel accompanies Lady [[Catelyn Tully]] to negotiate with Kings [[Renly Baratheon|Renly]] and [[Stannis Baratheon]], bearing the Stark banner at the parley before [[Storm's End]]. Meanwhile, Wylis has been held prisoner at [[Harrenhal]], where he frequented the kitchens. Wylis is one of the northmen [[Tyrion Lannister]] is willing to trade for his cousins captured at the [[Battle of the Whispering Wood]].{{ref|ACOK|25}} Wylis is ultimately freed when Roose Bolton [[Sack of Harrenhal|captures Harrenhal]].

After [[Theon Greyjoy]] [[Capture of Winterfell|seizes Winterfell]], he receives reports that Lord Wyman sent a dozen barges up the [[White Knife]] packed with knights and siege engines to help recapture the Starks' seat. During his parley with Ser [[Rodrik Cassel]] outside the gates of Winterfell, Theon observes a line of mounted Manderly knights. Rodrik's forces are betrayed by [[House Bolton]] in the [[battle at Winterfell]], however.{{ref|ACOK|66}}

===''A Storm of Swords''===
As Robb marches to [[the Twins]] to attend the wedding of [[Edmure Tully]], Ser Wendel Manderly is placed in charge of protecting his baggage train. Ser Wylis commands Lord [[Roose Bolton]]'s rearguard as they march to the same destination. Wylis is captured for a second time when [[Gregor Clegane]]'s men [[Battle of the Ruby Ford|attack]] the army as they cross the [[Ruby Ford]] of the [[Trident]], with Lord Bolton allowing the Mountain to destroy his rearguard. Wylis is returned to captivity at Harrenhal. At the Twins, Wendel dies at the [[Red Wedding]], with an arrow going into his open mouth. Maester [[Aemon]] sends a raven to White Harbor in a plea for help from the Manderlys to defend [[Castle Black]] from a [[Battle of Castle Black|wildling siege]].

===''A Feast for Crows''===
According to Queen [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei]], the Manderlys are on the verge of allying themselves with the [[House Bolton|Boltons]], with Lord Wyman agreeing to marry both of his granddaughters to members of [[House Frey]] and open his port to Lannister ships. The [[Iron Throne]] receives reports that Lord Wyman executed Davos when he attempted to negotiate an alliance with Stannis; Cersei responds by allowing the release of Wyman's surviving son, Wylis Manderly. At Harrenhal, [[Jaime Lannister]] informs a grateful Wylis he will have an escort to [[Maidenpool]] and be put on a ship home to [[White Harbor]].

===''A Dance with Dragons''===
When [[Davos Seaworth]] arrives in White Harbor hoping to ally Lord Wyman to King [[Stannis Baratheon|Stannis]], he sees that twenty-three war galleys have been built without the Lannisters' knowledge. White Harbor is awash with refugees, including those from the Hornwood lands.{{ref|ADWD|15}} Despite the objections of his granddaughter, [[Wylla Manderly]], Wyman denounces Davos in front of three Frey envoys, indicating he is ready to make peace with the Iron Throne and pay allegiance to [[Roose Bolton]], the new [[Warden of the North]], who requires that Wyman give up his claim to the Hornwood lands.{{ref|ADWD|19}} Wyman fakes Davos's death, however, killing a criminal in his place and altering the body so it resembles the Onion Knight. After Wylis returns safely to White Harbor, Wyman has [[Robett Glover]] free Davos from the [[Wolf's Den]]. Lord Manderly sends Davos on a mission to find [[Rickon Stark]], known to be alive thanks to [[Wex Pyke]], in a secret bid to unite the northern lords in resistance to Houses Bolton and Frey.{{ref|ADWD|29}}

Keeping up his ruse of loyalty, Lord Wyman arrives at Winterfell with three hunded men{{ref|ADWD|46}} to answer Roose Bolton's call to arms, and to attend [[Ramsay Snow|Ramsay Bolton]]'s wedding. At the wedding, he provides some of the food, including [[Frey Pies/Theories|three pies]] that are implied to be made from three missing Freys who had recently been in White Harbor. While quartered in Winterfell, there is tension within the garrison between the Manderlys and Freys. When Wyman japes about the death of [[Little Walder Frey]], it boils over into bloodshed, with Lord Wyman wounded and several men-at-arms dead on both sides. Lord Bolton, hoping to reduce tensions and hungry mouths within the castle, sends the White Harbor men to engage Stannis's army, which is slowly [[Siege of Winterfell|approaching Winterfell]].{{ref|ADWD|51}}

'''House Darry of Darry''' is a noble house from [[Darry|Castle Darry]] in the [[riverlands]]. Historically it had been one of the more prominent and powerful houses of the [[Trident]], until the fall of the [[House Targaryen|Targaryens]] in [[Robert's Rebellion]]. Their blazon is a black plowman on brown;{{ref|ACOK|16}} the central building where the Darrys have their apartments is called the Plowman's Keep.{{ref|AFFC|30}} Their words do not appear in the books.

==History==
===First Men and Andals===
House Darry traces their rule to the days when the [[Andals]] cast down the [[First Men]].{{ref|AFFC|30}} During the [[Andal invasion]], three sons of Lord Darry held back the Andals of [[Vorian Vypren]] at the [[Widow's Ford]] before being slain.{{ref|TWOIAF| The Riverlands}}

Lord Darry died fighting in King [[Arlan III Durrandon]]'s campaign, which included the [[Battle of Six Kings]].{{ref|TWOIAF| The Riverlands}}

===Targaryen Era===
During the [[Dance of the Dragons]], Prince [[Aemond Targaryen]] had his dragon, [[Vhagar]], burn Castle Darry and the surrounding fields. Lady Darry and her younger children survived below the keep, but Lord Darry and his heir were killed on the battlements.{{ref|tpatq}} It is said that Lord [[Borros Baratheon]] slew another Lord Darry during the [[Battle of the Kingsroad]].{{ref|TWOIAF| House Baratheon}}

The Darrys were Targaryen loyalists, supporting King [[Daeron II Targaryen]] over the [[Daemon I Blackfyre]] in the [[First Blackfyre Rebellion]]. Lord Darry destroyed the black dragon sign of the [[Clanking Dragon]], as he saw in it the sigil of [[House Blackfyre]].{{ref|AFFC|37}} [[Dunk]] identified the arms of House Darry among the gathered heraldry of the [[tourney at Ashford Meadow]].

The [[Demon of Darry]] became [[Lord Commander of the Kingsguard]]. The song of Lord [[Deremond]] at the Bloody Meadow may be about a Lord of Darry.

Blind [[Norbert Vance]] squired together with [[Brynden Tully]] for the Lord Darry of their time. During the reign of King [[Aerys II Targaryen]], Ser [[Willem Darry]] was master-at-arms of the [[Red Keep]]. When Prince [[Rhaegar Targaryen]] decided that he wanted to be a warrior, he asked Willem to provide him sword and armor. Ser [[Jonothor Darry]] was a member of Aerys II's [[Kingsguard]].

===Robert's Rebellion===
During [[Robert's Rebellion]], the Darrys defended King Aerys against [[Robert I Baratheon|Robert Baratheon]] and their liege lord, [[Hoster Tully]], until the bitter end.{{ref|AGOT|28}} After the [[Battle of the Bells]], Jonothor and Ser [[Barristan Selmy]] were sent to [[Stoney Sept]] to rally the remnants of [[Jon Connington]]'s defeated army to prepare them for the Trident.

The current lord, Ser [[Raymun Darry]],<ref>For unknown reasons, Lord Raymun Darry is called Ser Raymun Darry during ''[[A Game of Thrones]]'', and at least once in ''[[A Feast for Crows]]'' ([[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 30|Chapter 30]]).

===''A Game of Thrones''===
House Darry is among the houses that [[Viserys Targaryen]] believes will rise for him if he lands in [[Westeros]].{{Ref|AGOT|3}}

During the hunt for [[Arya Stark]] and [[Mycah]], King [[Robert Baratheon]] and his party stay at Castle Darry. Ser [[Raymun Darry]] dislikes Robert because his family fought for [[Aerys II Targaryen]], and he lost three brothers at the [[Battle of the Trident|Trident]].

Ser Raymun is summoned with all his strength to [[Riverrun]]. Meanwhile, Ser [[Gregor Clegane]] and his men ravage the Darry lands. Raymun is sent with Ser [[Marq Piper]] and Ser [[Karyl Vance]] to report the incident to the [[Iron Throne]]. Raymun is part of the expedition commanded by Lord [[Beric Dondarrion]] to capture Gregor. The party is ambushed by Gregor, however, and Raymun is killed in the [[Battle at the Mummer's Ford]].{{ref|AGOT|55}}

After [[Robb Stark]]'s victory at the [[Battle of the Camps]], Marq Piper and Karyl Vance arrive at Riverrun with Raymun's son, the young [[Lyman Darry]], the new Lord Darry. Lyman attends the council at Riverrun where Robb is crowned [[King of the Trident|king]]. Lyman assures that he will never call a [[House Lannister|Lannister]] his king.

===''A Clash of Kings''===
[[Little Walder Frey]] quarters his shield to depict in one quarter the Darry plowman of his mother's house.

When King Robb gives leave to the river lords to return to their castles, Lyman returns to Darry. Just after he arrives, Ser Gregor Clegane returns and [[Sack of Darry|kills Lyman and all his garrison]]. He was only eight, and the last trueborn heir of Darry through the male line. Later, Ser [[Helman Tallhart]] takes the castle from the Lannister garrison that surrendered. Lord [[Roose Bolton]] tells him that King Robb has ordered the surrendered garrison to be executed and to put the castle to the torch and leave.

After the [[Battle of the Blackwater]], King [[Joffrey Baratheon]] awards Ser [[Lancel Lannister]] the lands, castle and rights of House Darry, creating [[House Lannister of Darry]]. This lordship is given in favor of a living bastard Darry cousin.{{ref|ACOK|65}} The move is arranged by Lord [[Tywin Lannister]] to thank his loyal brother, Ser [[Kevan Lannister|Kevan]], who is Lancel's father.

===''A Storm of Swords''===
[[Tom of Sevenstreams]] accuses [[Sandor Clegane]] of the deaths of Raymun and Lyman Darry, although it was the work of his brother, Gregor.{{ref|ASOS|34}} [[Merrett Frey]] thinks that his marriage with [[Mariya Darry]], the daughter of Lord Darry, was unfortunate, as the Darrys lost all their prominence after [[Robert's Rebellion]].{{ref|ASOS|Epilogue}}

===''A Feast for Crows''===
Because Castle Darry was occupied by outlaws after the northmens' departure, Ser [[Kevan Lannister]] sends Ser [[Harwyn Plumm]], called the Hardstone, to expel them.{{ref|AFFC|12}} Kevan marries his son [[Lancel Lannister|Lancel]] to [[Amerei Frey]], the eldest daughter of the female heir to Darry, to strengthen his claim over the Darry lands.{{ref|AFFC|7}} She brings to Darry a score of [[House Frey|Freys]], including her Darry-born mother, [[Mariya Darry|Mariya]], one sister, and some uncles and cousins. Probably after Ser Kevan's recommendation, Lancel quarters his Lannister lion with the Darry plowman in the arms of House Lannister of Darry. Kevan helps Lancel to rebuild Darry, but departs soon due to disagreements with his son and his new religious zeal.{{ref|AFFC|30}}

Jaime and his company spend a night at Castle Darry on their way to the [[siege of Riverrun]]. Jaime recalls that as King [[Robert Baratheon]]'s party journeyed north to [[Winterfell]], Jaime and his brother [[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion]] discovered hidden tapestries of the Targaryen kings at Castle Darry, uncovering that the Darrys were still Targaryen loyalists.{{Ref|AFFC|30}} [[Genna Lannister]] complains that Darry, though smaller, is a safer place than Riverrun and would have preferred it, since the male line of the Darrys is already extinguished.{{ref|AFFC|33}}

While discussing the graves of dead soldiers who have washed up on the [[Quiet Isle]], the [[Elder Brother]] implies there is a fierce enmity between House Darry and [[House Frey]].{{Ref|AFFC|31}}

==House Darry at the end of the third century==
The known Darrys during the timespan of the events described in ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'' are:

* Ser {[[Raymun Darry]]}, Lord of Darry. Slain at the [[Battle of the Mummer's Ford|Mummer's Ford]].
** {[[Lyman Darry]]}, his son and heir. Slain during the [[War of the Five Kings]].
* Ser Raymun's three elder brothers, who died during the [[Battle of the Trident]].

Lord '''Wyman Manderly''' is the head of [[House Manderly]]. He has two sons, [[Wylis Manderly|Wylis]] and [[Wendel Manderly|Wendel]], and has been a widower for eight years. His titles include Lord of [[White Harbor]], [[Warden of the White Knife]], Shield of the [[Faith of the Seven|Faith]], [[Defender of the Dispossessed]], [[Lord Marshal of the Mander]], and [[Knight]] of the [[Order of the Green Hand]].{{ref|ADWD|19}}

==Appearance and Character==
:''See also: [[:Category:Images of Wyman Manderly|Images of Wyman Manderly]]''
Wyman is so fat he can no longer ride a horse and must be carried in a litter, leading to the nickname '''Lord Too-Fat-to-Sit-a-Horse'''.{{Ref|ACOK|16}}{{ref|aDwD|3}} He is nearly sixty years old, with a massive belly and fingers the size of sausages.{{Ref|AGOT|55}}

Wyman is amiable and has a loud, booming laugh. He is mocked by his own people as '''Lord Lamprey'''.{{Ref|ACOK|16}} By his own admission, and because of his physical appearance, Wyman is seen by many as craven and foolish, however, this is a clever front; he is shrewd, calculating and intelligent. He is also staunchly loyal to [[House Stark]].{{Ref|aDwD|29}}

==History==
Wyman loved to ride horses as a boy and he won some small acclaim in the lists when he was a young man. However, he has grown too big to ride.{{ref|ADWD|29}} Wyman has been a widower since about {{date|291}}.{{ref|acok|16}}

Wyman participated in the [[Battle of the Trident]] during [[Robert's Rebellion]]. He granted the [[Wolf's Den]] to Ser [[Bartimus]] after the latter saved Wyman's life in the battle.{{ref|ADWD|29}}

==Recent Events==
===''A Game of Thrones''===
While in [[King's Landing]], Lord [[Eddard Stark]] asks his wife, Lady [[Catelyn Tully]], to instruct Lord Wyman to strengthen the defenses of [[White Harbor]] and keep them well garrisoned.{{ref|AGOT|20}} Wyman meets Catelyn when she comes ashore at White Harbor after her return from the [[Eyrie]]. He stays to command the defense of the city when [[Robb Stark]] calls his banners. He sends his two sons, [[Wylis Manderly|Wylis]] and [[Wendel Manderly|Wendel]], in his absence.{{Ref|AGOT|55}}

===''A Clash of Kings''===
Wyman comes to [[Winterfell]] to partake in the [[harvest feast]], bringing a retinue of knights, retainers, and entertainers. To [[Bran Stark]], Ser [[Rodrik Cassel]], and Maester [[Luwin]] he proposes to mint new coinage for Robb, the new [[King in the North]], and a new war fleet for the [[North]]. He also offers himself or his son Wendel as a possible new husband for the widowed Lady [[Donella Hornwood]].{{Ref|ACOK|16}} Despite his size, he dances gracefully with [[Beth Cassel]] during the harvest feast.{{ref|aCoK|21}} When [[Ramsay Snow]], the Bastard of Bolton, kidnaps and forcibly marries Lady Hornwood, Wyman moves quickly to seize [[Hornwood]] and prevent [[House Bolton]] from having it.{{ref|aCoK|28}}

In response to [[Theon Greyjoy]]'s [[capture of Winterfell]], Wyman sends a dozen barges packed with [[knight]]s, warhorses, and siege engines up the [[White Knife]] to join Ser [[Rodrik Cassel]]'s army.{{ref|ACOK|56}} However, these Stark loyalists are betrayed by Ramsay and [[House Bolton]] in the [[battle at Winterfell]].{{ref|AGOT|66}}

===''A Storm of Swords''===
While traveling in the [[wolfswood]], the crippled Bran Stark recalls that during the harvest feast Lord Wyman looked at him with less pity than other northern lords. However, Bran does not know if White Harbor is safe from the Boltons, and he decides instead to find the [[three-eyed crow]] [[beyond the Wall]].{{ref|ASOS|9}}

Wyman's heir, Ser [[Wylis Manderly|Wylis]], is captured by the [[House Lannister|Lannisters]] in the [[Battle of the Ruby Ford]]. His second son, Ser [[Wendel Manderly|Wendel]], dies at [[the Twins]] during the [[Red Wedding]].{{ref|ASOS|51}}

===''A Feast for Crows''===
It is reported to Queen [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei]] that Lord Wyman has had Ser [[Davos Seaworth]] executed. Members of [[House Frey]] testify that they have seen his head, confirming Wyman's claim.{{Ref|AFFC|24}}

===''A Dance with Dragons''===
[[File:Jake Murray manderlys scheme.jpg|thumb|450px|Lord Wyman Manderly with his [[Frey Pies/Theories|three pies]]. - by Jake Murray. © Fantasy Flight Games.]]
[[Stannis Baratheon]] sends a letter to [[White Harbor]] that demands fealty to him as king from Lord Wyman. He responds with obfuscation, speaking of his age and infirmity.{{ref|aDwD|3}}

[[Davos Seaworth]] arrives to treat with Lord Manderly on behalf of Stannis and he is brought before him at the [[Merman's Court]]. A large audience is present at court, with three Freys attending ([[Rhaegar Frey|Rhaegar]], [[Symond Frey|Symond]], and [[Jared Frey|Jared]]), as well as the family of his surviving son, [[Wylis Manderly|Wylis]]. In return for the return of Wylis and peace with the [[Iron Throne]], Wyman agrees to marry a daughter of Lord [[Walder Frey]] and to marry his granddaughters [[Wynafryd Manderly|Wynafryd]] and [[Wylla Manderly|Wylla]] to [[Rhaegar Frey|Rhaegar]] and [[Little Walder Frey]], respectively. Wyman also agrees to relinquish his claim to [[Hornwood]].{{ref|ADWD|19}} After Lord Wyman hears Davos's plea to join Stannis's cause, he orders Davos's execution due to his loyalty to [[House Lannister]], the Iron Throne, and his faith in the Freys' explanation of the [[Red Wedding]] being [[Robb Stark]]'s work.{{ref|aDwD|19}}

Instead of executing Davos, Wyman executes another prisoner in the Onion Knight's place and sends Davos to the [[Wolf's Den]], a prison in White Harbor. The other prisoner's head and hands are removed, dipped in tar, and the unnamed prisoner's fingers are removed in order to make the remains which are displayed in public look truly like Davos's. The Freys write to King's Landing stating that Manderly loyally ordered the execution of the Onion Knight. Wyman Manderly's trick works, and the Iron Throne returns his only living son, Wylis, from captivity.

During the celebration feast welcoming Wylis home to White Harbor, Wyman meets secretly in a room of the [[New Castle]] with Davos and [[Robett Glover]]. He apologizes to Davos for the way in which he has been treated, and explains that the need for all the acting and deception was to trick the Lannisters and Freys into releasing his son from captivity and make them think he is a fat, stupid oaf who fears them. Manderly explains to Davos that he has learned from a survivor of the [[sack of Winterfell]], [[Wex Pyke]], that it was [[Ramsay Snow|Ramsay Bolton]] who was responsible for the massacre. He also explains to Davos that he has learned from Wex that [[Rickon Stark]] is alive and he needs a smuggler as opposed to a normal sailor to retrieve him from his current location, [[Skagos]]. Wyman promises Davos he will swear allegiance to Stannis if Davos does this task for him.{{ref|aDwD|29}}

After he and Davos reach an agreement, Manderly leaves to attend the wedding of Ramsay Bolton to "[[Jeyne Poole|Arya Stark]]" with an armed escort. Before doing so, he gifts his three Frey guests a palfrey each; guest gifts are given to guests when they leave their host's protection, meaning they are no longer under the protection of [[guest right]].{{ref|aDwD|46}} With him, Manderly brings a huge supply of food to Ramsay's wedding at [[Winterfell]], but he brings no hostage as commanded by [[Roose Bolton]], the new [[Warden of the North]]. This is unsettling to Roose, but with word of Stannis marching on Winterfell, Roose cannot quarrel with Wyman as he is in need of his knights.

The three Freys do not arrive with Wyman. He claims they rode ahead of him, being that he cannot ride a horse and instead travelled by boat. [[Hosteen Frey|Hosteen]] and [[Aenys Frey]] suspect Manderly of foul play.{{ref|aDwD|32}} At the wedding feast, Wyman is in a very jolly humor, laughing and jesting and calling out songs for the singer [[Mance Rayder|Abel]] to sing. He then presents three huge pies. He himself serves them, the first steaming portions he gives to Roose Bolton and his wife [[Walda Frey]], the next to the sons of Walder Frey, Ser [[Hosteen Frey]] and Ser [[Aenys Frey]]. Wyman declares,
{{Quote|The best pie you have ever tasted, my lords. Wash it down with [[wine|Arbor gold]] and savor every bite. [[Frey Pies/Theories|I know I shall]].{{Ref|aDwD|37}}}}

Wyman asks Abel to sing of the [[Rat Cook]], most probably intended to make [[Red Wedding|violators]] of the [[guest right]] etiquette uncomfortable.{{ref|aDwD|37}} Roose Bolton does not eat or drink anything unless he sees Wyman taste it first.

Among the snowmen that squires build along the battlements of Winterfell, one resembling Wyman is the fattest snowman [[Theon Greyjoy]] has ever seen.{{ref|ADWD|41}} When several men-at-arms in the castle are murdered, and once Theon is dismissed as a suspect, suspicion is cast upon Manderly ordering the deaths. When [[Little Walder Frey]] is murdered, [[Hosteen Frey|Hosteen]] openly accuses Wyman, who denies the charge yet at the same time insults [[House Frey]], which causes an enraged Hosteen to attack Wyman. Wyman's throat is nearly slit open but his knights intervene. He is treated by Maester [[Medrick]] for his wounds.{{ref|aDwD|51}}

'''Lord Marshal of the Mander''' is a title claimed by [[House Manderly]] of [[White Harbor]]. It applies dominion over the mighty river [[Mander]], located in the [[Reach]].

==History==
The Reachman house, which once ruled the riverbanks of the Mander from their seat at [[Dunstonbury]], were exiled by [[House Gardener]] in ancient times.

==Appearance and Character==
:''See also: [[:Category:Images of Wyman Manderly|Images of Wyman Manderly]]''
Wyman is so fat he can no longer ride a horse and must be carried in a litter, leading to the nickname '''Lord Too-Fat-to-Sit-a-Horse'''.{{Ref|ACOK|16}}{{ref|aDwD|3}} He is nearly sixty years old, with a massive belly and fingers the size of sausages.{{Ref|AGOT|55}}

Wyman is amiable and has a loud, booming laugh. He is mocked by his own people as '''Lord Lamprey'''.{{Ref|ACOK|16}} By his own admission, and because of his physical appearance, Wyman is seen by many as craven and foolish, however, this is a clever front; he is shrewd, calculating and intelligent. He is also staunchly loyal to [[House Stark]].{{Ref|aDwD|29}}

==History==
Wyman loved to ride horses as a boy and he won some small acclaim in the lists when he was a young man. However, he has grown too big to ride.{{ref|ADWD|29}} Wyman has been a widower since about {{date|291}}.{{ref|acok|16}}

Wyman participated in the [[Battle of the Trident]] during [[Robert's Rebellion]]. He granted the [[Wolf's Den]] to Ser [[Bartimus]] after the latter saved Wyman's life in the battle.{{ref|ADWD|29}}

==Recent Events==
===''A Game of Thrones''===
While in [[King's Landing]], Lord [[Eddard Stark]] asks his wife, Lady [[Catelyn Tully]], to instruct Lord Wyman to strengthen the defenses of [[White Harbor]] and keep them well garrisoned.{{ref|AGOT|20}} Wyman meets Catelyn when she comes ashore at White Harbor after her return from the [[Eyrie]]. He stays to command the defense of the city when [[Robb Stark]] calls his banners. He sends his two sons, [[Wylis Manderly|Wylis]] and [[Wendel Manderly|Wendel]], in his absence.{{Ref|AGOT|55}}

===''A Clash of Kings''===
Wyman comes to [[Winterfell]] to partake in the [[harvest feast]], bringing a retinue of knights, retainers, and entertainers. To [[Bran Stark]], Ser [[Rodrik Cassel]], and Maester [[Luwin]] he proposes to mint new coinage for Robb, the new [[King in the North]], and a new war fleet for the [[North]]. He also offers himself or his son Wendel as a possible new husband for the widowed Lady [[Donella Hornwood]].{{Ref|ACOK|16}} Despite his size, he dances gracefully with [[Beth Cassel]] during the harvest feast.{{ref|aCoK|21}} When [[Ramsay Snow]], the Bastard of Bolton, kidnaps and forcibly marries Lady Hornwood, Wyman moves quickly to seize [[Hornwood]] and prevent [[House Bolton]] from having it.{{ref|aCoK|28}}

In response to [[Theon Greyjoy]]'s [[capture of Winterfell]], Wyman sends a dozen barges packed with [[knight]]s, warhorses, and siege engines up the [[White Knife]] to join Ser [[Rodrik Cassel]]'s army.{{ref|ACOK|56}} However, these Stark loyalists are betrayed by Ramsay and [[House Bolton]] in the [[battle at Winterfell]].{{ref|AGOT|66}}

===''A Storm of Swords''===
While traveling in the [[wolfswood]], the crippled Bran Stark recalls that during the harvest feast Lord Wyman looked at him with less pity than other northern lords. However, Bran does not know if White Harbor is safe from the Boltons, and he decides instead to find the [[three-eyed crow]] [[beyond the Wall]].{{ref|ASOS|9}}

Wyman's heir, Ser [[Wylis Manderly|Wylis]], is captured by the [[House Lannister|Lannisters]] in the [[Battle of the Ruby Ford]]. His second son, Ser [[Wendel Manderly|Wendel]], dies at [[the Twins]] during the [[Red Wedding]].{{ref|ASOS|51}}

===''A Feast for Crows''===
It is reported to Queen [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei]] that Lord Wyman has had Ser [[Davos Seaworth]] executed. Members of [[House Frey]] testify that they have seen his head, confirming Wyman's claim.{{Ref|AFFC|24}}

===''A Dance with Dragons''===
[[File:Jake Murray manderlys scheme.jpg|thumb|450px|Lord Wyman Manderly with his [[Frey Pies/Theories|three pies]]. - by Jake Murray. © Fantasy Flight Games.]]
[[Stannis Baratheon]] sends a letter to [[White Harbor]] that demands fealty to him as king from Lord Wyman. He responds with obfuscation, speaking of his age and infirmity.{{ref|aDwD|3}}

[[Davos Seaworth]] arrives to treat with Lord Manderly on behalf of Stannis and he is brought before him at the [[Merman's Court]]. A large audience is present at court, with three Freys attending ([[Rhaegar Frey|Rhaegar]], [[Symond Frey|Symond]], and [[Jared Frey|Jared]]), as well as the family of his surviving son, [[Wylis Manderly|Wylis]]. In return for the return of Wylis and peace with the [[Iron Throne]], Wyman agrees to marry a daughter of Lord [[Walder Frey]] and to marry his granddaughters [[Wynafryd Manderly|Wynafryd]] and [[Wylla Manderly|Wylla]] to [[Rhaegar Frey|Rhaegar]] and [[Little Walder Frey]], respectively. Wyman also agrees to relinquish his claim to [[Hornwood]].{{ref|ADWD|19}} After Lord Wyman hears Davos's plea to join Stannis's cause, he orders Davos's execution due to his loyalty to [[House Lannister]], the Iron Throne, and his faith in the Freys' explanation of the [[Red Wedding]] being [[Robb Stark]]'s work.{{ref|aDwD|19}}

Instead of executing Davos, Wyman executes another prisoner in the Onion Knight's place and sends Davos to the [[Wolf's Den]], a prison in White Harbor. The other prisoner's head and hands are removed, dipped in tar, and the unnamed prisoner's fingers are removed in order to make the remains which are displayed in public look truly like Davos's. The Freys write to King's Landing stating that Manderly loyally ordered the execution of the Onion Knight. Wyman Manderly's trick works, and the Iron Throne returns his only living son, Wylis, from captivity.

During the celebration feast welcoming Wylis home to White Harbor, Wyman meets secretly in a room of the [[New Castle]] with Davos and [[Robett Glover]]. He apologizes to Davos for the way in which he has been treated, and explains that the need for all the acting and deception was to trick the Lannisters and Freys into releasing his son from captivity and make them think he is a fat, stupid oaf who fears them. Manderly explains to Davos that he has learned from a survivor of the [[sack of Winterfell]], [[Wex Pyke]], that it was [[Ramsay Snow|Ramsay Bolton]] who was responsible for the massacre. He also explains to Davos that he has learned from Wex that [[Rickon Stark]] is alive and he needs a smuggler as opposed to a normal sailor to retrieve him from his current location, [[Skagos]]. Wyman promises Davos he will swear allegiance to Stannis if Davos does this task for him.{{ref|aDwD|29}}

After he and Davos reach an agreement, Manderly leaves to attend the wedding of Ramsay Bolton to "[[Jeyne Poole|Arya Stark]]" with an armed escort. Before doing so, he gifts his three Frey guests a palfrey each; guest gifts are given to guests when they leave their host's protection, meaning they are no longer under the protection of [[guest right]].{{ref|aDwD|46}} With him, Manderly brings a huge supply of food to Ramsay's wedding at [[Winterfell]], but he brings no hostage as commanded by [[Roose Bolton]], the new [[Warden of the North]]. This is unsettling to Roose, but with word of Stannis marching on Winterfell, Roose cannot quarrel with Wyman as he is in need of his knights.

The three Freys do not arrive with Wyman. He claims they rode ahead of him, being that he cannot ride a horse and instead travelled by boat. [[Hosteen Frey|Hosteen]] and [[Aenys Frey]] suspect Manderly of foul play.{{ref|aDwD|32}} At the wedding feast, Wyman is in a very jolly humor, laughing and jesting and calling out songs for the singer [[Mance Rayder|Abel]] to sing. He then presents three huge pies. He himself serves them, the first steaming portions he gives to Roose Bolton and his wife [[Walda Frey]], the next to the sons of Walder Frey, Ser [[Hosteen Frey]] and Ser [[Aenys Frey]]. Wyman declares,
{{Quote|The best pie you have ever tasted, my lords. Wash it down with [[wine|Arbor gold]] and savor every bite. [[Frey Pies/Theories|I know I shall]].{{Ref|aDwD|37}}}}

Wyman asks Abel to sing of the [[Rat Cook]], most probably intended to make [[Red Wedding|violators]] of the [[guest right]] etiquette uncomfortable.{{ref|aDwD|37}} Roose Bolton does not eat or drink anything unless he sees Wyman taste it first.

Among the snowmen that squires build along the battlements of Winterfell, one resembling Wyman is the fattest snowman [[Theon Greyjoy]] has ever seen.{{ref|ADWD|41}} When several men-at-arms in the castle are murdered, and once Theon is dismissed as a suspect, suspicion is cast upon Manderly ordering the deaths. When [[Little Walder Frey]] is murdered, [[Hosteen Frey|Hosteen]] openly accuses Wyman, who denies the charge yet at the same time insults [[House Frey]], which causes an enraged Hosteen to attack Wyman. Wyman's throat is nearly slit open but his knights intervene. He is treated by Maester [[Medrick]] for his wounds.{{ref|aDwD|51}}

'''House Manderly of White Harbor''' is a noble family in [[the North]] whose seat is the [[New Castle]] in the city of [[White Harbor]]. They are among the most powerful and loyal vassals of [[House Stark]] as well as the richest northern family due to their control of the only city in the region. Unlike most other northern houses,{{ref|AGOT|53}} the Manderlys follow the [[Faith of the Seven]] instead of the [[old gods]], as the family originated in [[the Reach]].

The Manderlys' blazon is a white merman with dark green hair, beard and tail, carrying a black trident, over a blue-green field.{{ref|AGOT|55}}<ref>The Citadel. Heraldry: [http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/Heraldry/Houses/2/#In the North]</ref> Their words do not appear in the books, neither has [[George R. R. Martin]] submitted them in semi-canon material.

The Lord of White Harbor, [[Wyman Manderly]], influences all lands and houses east of the mouth of the [[White Knife]], including Houses [[House Locke|Locke]], [[House Woolfield|Woolfield]], and [[House Flint of Widow's Watch|Flint of Widow's Watch]].{{ref|ADWD|29}} The Manderlys' dominion includes the [[Sheepshead Hills]]{{ref|AWOIAF| Sheepshead Hills}} and the [[Broken Branch]],{{ref|AWOIAF| Broken Branch}} as well as the allegiance of [[Ramsgate]].{{ref|AWOIAF| Ramsgate}} Their bannermen includes a dozen petty lords and a hundred landed knights.{{Ref|ADWD|29}}

==History==
===Kingdom of the Reach===
The Manderlys are an ancient line who once lived along the banks of the mighty river [[Mander]] in the [[Kingdom of the Reach]], and some claim the river was named after them.{{ref|AWOIAF| Mander}} A noble house of great lords descended from the [[First Men]], they held the castle of [[Dunstonbury]] as their seat and had a fierce rivalry with [[House Peake]].{{ref|TWOIAF}}

During the reign of the [[House Gardener|Gardener kings]] in the Reach, King [[Gwayne III Gardener|Gwayne III]] the Fat managed to persuade Lords Manderly and Peake to accept his judgement on their quarrel, and do fealty for their lands, without any bloodshed. Near the end of the long reign of King [[Garth X Gardener|Garth X]] Greybeard, a problem with the succession arose as Garth had fathered no sons and only sired two daughters, one of whom had been married to Lord Manderly, and the other to Lord Peake. Both lords were determined that their own wife should succeed the throne and the rivalry between them was marked by betrayal, conspiracy and murder, and soon escalated to open war with many lords joining the cause of both sides. The anarchy that followed lasted for almost two decades until Ser [[Osmund Tyrell]], the High Steward of [[Highgarden]], made common cause with the other lords of the Reach and defeated the Peakes and Manderlys. He placed a distant cousin of the previous king on the throne who ascended as King [[Mern VI Gardener]].{{ref|TWOIAF}}

===Exile and White Harbor===
According to Lady [[Rohanne Webber]], House Manderly left or were driven away from the Reach about a thousand years ago.{{ref|tss}} Lord [[Godric Borrell]] further refines the time period to "no more than nine hundred years ago", claiming the House had overreached itself and been repelled by the "green hands",{{Ref|ADWD|9}} a reference to the [[House Gardener|Gardener]] kings and their sigil.{{ref|AWOIAF| White Harbor}} According to Maester [[Yandel]], the exile of House Manderly is credited to Lord [[Lorimar Peake]] upon the behest of King [[Perceon III Gardener]], who feared the Manderlys' growing influence and power in the Reach.{{ref|TWOIAF}}

[[Wylla Manderly]] proclaims that the Manderlys, sore and friendless and in peril of their lives, fled north and were protected and welcomed by the [[House Stark|Starks]] of [[Winterfell]] as their own bannermen a thousand years before the [[War of Conquest]]. The Starks awarded the [[Wolf's Den]] to the Manderlys and tasked them with defending the White Knife in return for swearing an oath that they would always be loyal subjects of House Stark. This history instilled the Manderlys with great loyalty to their new liege lords.{{ref|ADWD|19}}

The city of White Harbor was built by the Manderlys with the wealth they had brought from the Reach and they developed it over the following centuries.{{ref|ADWD|19}} It is the smallest of the five cities of [[Westeros]], and is the main northern port for commerce and naval transport. The [[New Castle]], built to replace the aging Wolf's Den, resembles their previous castle [[Dunstonbury]] in the Reach.{{ref|TWOIAF}} The Manderlys are one of the few great houses of the North to follow the [[Faith of the Seven]] instead of the [[old gods]] and thus have a strong tradition of [[knight]]hood.{{ref|AGOT|53}}

===Targaryen Era===
House Manderly enjoyed great relations to both their liege lords, the Starks, and their sovereigns, the [[House Targaryen|Targaryens]]. Princess [[Viserra Targaryen]], the wild and high-spirited daughter of King [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen|Jaehaerys I]] and Good Queen [[Alysanne Targaryen|Alysanne]], was betrothed to Lord Manderly, but she apparently died by falling from a horse while racing drunkenly through the streets of King's Landing. Lady [[Jeyne Manderly]] wed [[Rickon Stark (son of Cregan)|Rickon Stark]], eldest son and supposed heir to Lord [[Cregan Stark]] and gave him two daughters, [[Serena Stark|Serena]] and [[Sansa Stark (daughter of Rickon)|Sansa]]. Lady [[Myriame Manderly]] married [[Rodwell Stark]] and became Lady of Winterfell upon her husband's accession.{{ref|TWOIAF}}

House Manderly supported [[Rhaenys Targaryen (daughter of Aemon)|Rhaenys Targaryen]] in the [[Great Council of 101]] at [[Harrenhal]]. During the [[Dance of the Dragons]], Prince [[Jacaerys Velaryon]] traveled to White Harbor and Winterfell and convinced the North to join [[the blacks]]. Lord Manderly sent warriors led by his sons, Ser [[Medrick Manderly|Medrick]] and Ser [[Torrhen Manderly|Torrhen]], to support [[Rhaenyra Targaryen]].{{ref|tpatq}} Torrhen served as one of the regents of King [[Aegon III Targaryen]] after the war, resigning in {{Date|132}} after the deaths of his father and brother from [[Winter Fever]]. When Aegon came of age in {{Date|136}}, he ended the regency and dismissed the [[Hand of the King]], Lord Manderly.{{ref|TWOIAF}}

===Robert's Rebellion===
When Lord [[Eddard Stark]] called the northern banners to join [[Robert's Rebellion]] against King [[Aerys II Targaryen]], Lord [[Wyman Manderly]] led the Manderlys south. Wyman fought at the [[Battle of the Trident]], rewarding his retainer Ser [[Bartimus]] for saving his life by making him castellan of the Wolf's Den, now White Harbor's prison.

==Recent Events==
===''A Game of Thrones''===
After learning of the [[catspaw|assassination attempt]] on his son [[Bran Stark|Bran's]] life, Lord [[Eddard Stark]] instructs his wife [[Catelyn Tully|Catelyn]] to have Lord [[Wyman Manderly]] strengthen [[White Harbor]].{{ref|AGOT|20}}

After leaving the [[Vale of Arryn]], Catelyn meets the Manderlys at White Harbor. Because of Eddard's arrest in [[King's Landing]], a Manderly army, led by Ser [[Wylis Manderly|Wylis]] and Ser [[Wendel Manderly|Wendel]], joins [[Robb Stark]] at [[Moat Cailin]] when marching south against the [[House Lannister|Lannisters]]. Their force consists of near 1,500 men, including some 20 knights with their squires, 200 mounted lances, swordsmen and freeriders, and the remaining foot armed with spears, pikes and tridents. Wyman remains at White Harbor to watch over the city.{{ref|AGOT|55}} When the northern army splits at [[the Twins]], Wendel accompanies Robb to free [[Riverrun]], and although he is already a mature man, he is counted among the thirty young sons of lords that form [[Robb's personal guard]]. Meanwhile, Wylis leads the White Harbor infantry with Lord [[Roose Bolton]] on his march south, and is captured at the [[Battle of the Green Fork]].

===''A Clash of Kings''===
While at [[Winterfell]] for the [[harvest feast]], Lord Wyman meets with [[Bran Stark]], Ser [[Rodrik Cassel]], and Maester [[Luwin]]. He offers to [[Old Mint|mint]] coins for Robb, informs them of White Harbor's defenses, and proposes to build the king a new warfleet of galleys, with Rodrik saying he will inform Robb of the proposal. Later during the feast, Rodrik commands [[Hother Umber|Hother]] and [[Mors Umber]] to work with Wyman in building longships to combat [[wildlings]].{{ref|ACOK|16}}

Lady [[Donella Hornwood]] (née Manderly) is widowed by the death of Lord [[Halys Hornwood]] on the Green Fork. During the harvest feast, Lord Wyman advances his claim for the [[House Hornwood]] lands, going on to offer to wed his cousin. Ultimately this does not occur, as Donella is forcefully wed when she returns to her lands and is locked away to die by [[Ramsay Snow]], the Bastard of [[House Bolton|Bolton]]. In response, Wyman seizes [[Hornwood]] to prevent Ramsay from occupying it,{{ref|ACOK|28}} and Manderly knights attack Bolton men in the Hornwood forests. News reaches Winterfell via Ser Rodrik, but he does not have the manpower to stop them.{{ref|ACOK|35}}

In the south, Wendel accompanies Lady [[Catelyn Tully]] to negotiate with Kings [[Renly Baratheon|Renly]] and [[Stannis Baratheon]], bearing the Stark banner at the parley before [[Storm's End]]. Meanwhile, Wylis has been held prisoner at [[Harrenhal]], where he frequented the kitchens. Wylis is one of the northmen [[Tyrion Lannister]] is willing to trade for his cousins captured at the [[Battle of the Whispering Wood]].{{ref|ACOK|25}} Wylis is ultimately freed when Roose Bolton [[Sack of Harrenhal|captures Harrenhal]].

After [[Theon Greyjoy]] [[Capture of Winterfell|seizes Winterfell]], he receives reports that Lord Wyman sent a dozen barges up the [[White Knife]] packed with knights and siege engines to help recapture the Starks' seat. During his parley with Ser [[Rodrik Cassel]] outside the gates of Winterfell, Theon observes a line of mounted Manderly knights. Rodrik's forces are betrayed by [[House Bolton]] in the [[battle at Winterfell]], however.{{ref|ACOK|66}}

===''A Storm of Swords''===
As Robb marches to [[the Twins]] to attend the wedding of [[Edmure Tully]], Ser Wendel Manderly is placed in charge of protecting his baggage train. Ser Wylis commands Lord [[Roose Bolton]]'s rearguard as they march to the same destination. Wylis is captured for a second time when [[Gregor Clegane]]'s men [[Battle of the Ruby Ford|attack]] the army as they cross the [[Ruby Ford]] of the [[Trident]], with Lord Bolton allowing the Mountain to destroy his rearguard. Wylis is returned to captivity at Harrenhal. At the Twins, Wendel dies at the [[Red Wedding]], with an arrow going into his open mouth. Maester [[Aemon]] sends a raven to White Harbor in a plea for help from the Manderlys to defend [[Castle Black]] from a [[Battle of Castle Black|wildling siege]].

===''A Feast for Crows''===
According to Queen [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei]], the Manderlys are on the verge of allying themselves with the [[House Bolton|Boltons]], with Lord Wyman agreeing to marry both of his granddaughters to members of [[House Frey]] and open his port to Lannister ships. The [[Iron Throne]] receives reports that Lord Wyman executed Davos when he attempted to negotiate an alliance with Stannis; Cersei responds by allowing the release of Wyman's surviving son, Wylis Manderly. At Harrenhal, [[Jaime Lannister]] informs a grateful Wylis he will have an escort to [[Maidenpool]] and be put on a ship home to [[White Harbor]].

===''A Dance with Dragons''===
When [[Davos Seaworth]] arrives in White Harbor hoping to ally Lord Wyman to King [[Stannis Baratheon|Stannis]], he sees that twenty-three war galleys have been built without the Lannisters' knowledge. White Harbor is awash with refugees, including those from the Hornwood lands.{{ref|ADWD|15}} Despite the objections of his granddaughter, [[Wylla Manderly]], Wyman denounces Davos in front of three Frey envoys, indicating he is ready to make peace with the Iron Throne and pay allegiance to [[Roose Bolton]], the new [[Warden of the North]], who requires that Wyman give up his claim to the Hornwood lands.{{ref|ADWD|19}} Wyman fakes Davos's death, however, killing a criminal in his place and altering the body so it resembles the Onion Knight. After Wylis returns safely to White Harbor, Wyman has [[Robett Glover]] free Davos from the [[Wolf's Den]]. Lord Manderly sends Davos on a mission to find [[Rickon Stark]], known to be alive thanks to [[Wex Pyke]], in a secret bid to unite the northern lords in resistance to Houses Bolton and Frey.{{ref|ADWD|29}}

Keeping up his ruse of loyalty, Lord Wyman arrives at Winterfell with three hunded men{{ref|ADWD|46}} to answer Roose Bolton's call to arms, and to attend [[Ramsay Snow|Ramsay Bolton]]'s wedding. At the wedding, he provides some of the food, including [[Frey Pies/Theories|three pies]] that are implied to be made from three missing Freys who had recently been in White Harbor. While quartered in Winterfell, there is tension within the garrison between the Manderlys and Freys. When Wyman japes about the death of [[Little Walder Frey]], it boils over into bloodshed, with Lord Wyman wounded and several men-at-arms dead on both sides. Lord Bolton, hoping to reduce tensions and hungry mouths within the castle, sends the White Harbor men to engage Stannis's army, which is slowly [[Siege of Winterfell|approaching Winterfell]].{{ref|ADWD|51}}

The '''Mander''' is the largest river in [[the Reach]]. Whilst large and powerful, it is a slow-moving river, wide with snags and sandbars to trap the unwary ship.{{ref|AFFC|21}}{{ref|AFFC|29}} Some say the river is named after [[House Manderly]].{{Ref|aWoIaF| Mander}}{{ref|TSS}}

==Geography==
:''See also: [[:Category:Images of the Mander|Images of the Mander]]''
The Mander has its source in hills near [[Tumbleton]] in the northeastern Reach near [[King's Landing]]. Flowing southwest past [[Bitterbridge]],{{ref|ACOK|22}} it meets the [[Blueburn]] near [[Longtable]] and then the [[Cockleswhent]] near [[Cider Hall]]. Near [[Highgarden]] the Mander meets an as-yet-unnamed river which flows south from [[Goldengrove]]. From Highgarden the Mander continues west to a bay of the [[Sunset Sea]] near the [[Shield Islands]].{{ref|TLOIAF}}

The upper reaches of the Mander are muddy and rough, and only shallow-draughted boats can go as far as Bitterbridge. As they near Highgarden, they settle down and become clear and calm, and are navigable by seagoing vessels.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones (game)|A Game of Thrones RPG and Resource Book]], Guardians of Order</ref>{{ref|affc|29}}

==History==

According to legend, [[Garth the Gardener]] built [[Highgarden]] atop a hill along the Mander.{{ref|TWOIAF| Garth Greenhand}}

Historically, the [[ironborn]] raided up the river Mander all the way to [[Bitterbridge|Stonebridge]]. [[Garth VII Gardener]], a [[King of the Reach]], fortified the [[Shield Islands]], which sit near the mouth of the river, and armed its [[smallfolk]] to guard the approaches and warn those further inland of coming attacks.{{ref|AFFC|29}}{{ref|TWOIAF| The Iron Kings}}

The headwaters of the Mander were conquered by the [[Storm King]] [[Arlan I Durrandon]], but they were eventually lost by the descendents of his grandson, [[Arlan III Durrandon|Arlan III]].{{ref|TWOIAF| Andals in the Stormlands}} A [[Dorne|Dornish]] king once sacked Highgarden after crossing the Mander.{{ref|TWOIAF| Andals in the Reach}}

[[House Manderly]] once lived at [[Dunstonbury]] on the banks of the mighty river Mander, but they were driven away{{Ref|ADWD|9|p. 130}}{{ref|ADWD|19}}{{ref|TSS}} by Lord [[Lorimar Peake]] at the behest of King [[Perceon III Gardener]].{{ref|TWOIAF| Kings of Winter}} Despite being exiled, the Manderlys still claim the title [[Lord Marshal of the Mander]].{{ref|ADWD|19}}

After the downfall of [[House Gardener]] in the [[Field of Fire]], [[Aegon I Targaryen]] granted [[Highgarden]] to [[Harlan Tyrell]] and named him [[Lord Paramount of the Mander]].{{ref|TWOIAF| The Conquest}} After the [[battle of Stonebridge]], the Mander was said to have been red with blood for twenty leagues.{{ref|TWOIAF| Maegor I}}

At a crossing of the Mander during the [[First Blackfyre Rebellion]], Ser [[Quentyn Ball]] slew all of Lady [[House Penrose|Penrose]]'s sons except for the youngest, whom he spared as a favor to the lady.{{ref|TMK}}

During [[Robert's Rebellion]], the [[House Greyjoy|Greyjoys]] and Shield Islanders fought a [[battle at the Mander]]'s mouth. Lord [[Quellon Greyjoy]] was killed in the fighting.{{ref|TWOIAF| The Old Way and the New}}

Warrior's Sons

2015-04-13T15:28:47Z

Archaeology:

[[File:Minifdg.png|thumb|150px|Warrior's Sons COA]]

The '''Noble and Puissant Order of the Warrior's Sons''' are an order of [[knight]]s sworn to the [[Faith of the Seven]]. They are part of the [[Faith Militant]], and are otherwise known as the '''Swords'''. Their counterparts are the "Stars" or [[Poor Fellows]]. They only obey and answer to the [[High Septon]], as they believe the High Septon speaks for the Seven.
==About==
[[File:Andrew Bosley the warrior's sonsII.JPG|thumb|300px|Warrior's Sons. © FFG]]
The order had not existed in the realm since King [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen]]. However, after the [[War of the Five Kings]] in {{Date|300}}, the ruling King [[Tommen Baratheon]], under the edict of his mother and [[Regent]] [[Cersei Lannister]], overturned [[Maegor I Targaryen|Maegor the Cruel]]'s law which forbade holy men from being armed, and the order was reborn. Over a hundred knights have so far pledged their swords and lives to the Warrior's Sons and obey the new High Septon, known by many as the [[High Sparrow]].

Only an anointed [[knight]] can join this order. Most of the Warrior's Sons are former [[hedge knight|hedge]] and household knights, but some are of higher birth such as younger sons of lords, or older lords who wish to atone for their sins. Some lords even renounce titles, castles, and lands to serve the Warrior's Sons and [[the Seven]], such as [[Lancel Lannister]]. The Warrior's Sons' duties are often to protect Holy [[Sept]]s or to escort the devout safely across the land protecting them from brigands and the unfaithful.

The original order developed a reputation for fanaticism and implacable hatred for enemies of the Faith; they see any who worship other gods as false and evil. They are said to have been holy men, ascetics, sorcerers, dragonslayers, and demonhunters.{{ref|affc|28}}

===Equipment===
Swords wear inlaid silver armor over hair shirts, rainbow cloaks, and swords with star-shaped crystals in their pommels.

==Known members==
* Ser [[Theodan Wells]], known as Theodan the True, Commander of the Warrior's Sons.
* Ser [[Lancel Lannister]], former Lord of Darry and head of [[House Lannister of Darry]].

==Historical members==
* Ser [[Morgan Hightower]], commander during the [[Faith Militant uprising]]
* Ser [[Damon Morrigen]] known as Damon the Devout.

Rainbow Guard

2015-04-13T15:28:28Z

Archaeology:

[[File:Jason Engle rainbowguard.jpg|Rainbow Guard. © FFG|thumb|350px|right]]
The '''Rainbow Guard''' is an organization created by [[Renly Baratheon]] to serve a similar purpose to the [[Kingsguard]]. Its members wear rainbow cloaks and have a rainbow coat of arms. This connects them to the [[Faith of the Seven]] (to whom the rainbow is a religious symbol). Each member is described as wearing armor of a single different color, with the group of seven together representing the seven-colored rainbow.

== Members ==
{{COA|loras_tyrell|small}}Ser [[Loras Tyrell]], Lord Commander. 
{{COA|Tarth|small}}[[Brienne of Tarth]], the Blue. 
{{COA|Caron|small}}Lord [[Bryce Caron]], the Orange. 
{{COA|cuy|small}}Ser [[Emmon Cuy]], the Yellow. 
{{COA|Morrigen|small}}Ser [[Guyard Morrigen]], the Green. 
{{COA|crane|small}}Ser [[Parmen Crane]], the Purple. 
{{COA|Royce|small}}Ser [[Robar Royce]], the Red. 

==Recent Events==
===''A Clash of Kings''===
At the start of the [[War of the Five Kings]], [[Renly Baratheon]] declares himself king of the Seven Kingdoms after the death of his brother, King [[Robert Baratheon|Robert]]. To reflect his status, Renly creates the Rainbow Guard, a fanciful version of the [[Kingsguard]]. [[Loras Tyrell]], Renly's favourite, is the first appointee, as well as [[Lord Commander of the Kingsguard|Lord Commander]]. Barring the Lord Commander, each of the other six members are given a color of the rainbow.{{ref|acok|Prologue}} The last position is held open in the hope of awarding it to Ser [[Barristan Selmy|Barristan the Bold]] should he join Renly's cause. He never arrives in Renly's camp, however, and the cloak is granted to [[Brienne of Tarth]], who is awarded the position after winning the great [[melee at Bitterbridge]] involving over a hundred [[knight]]s, including Ser Loras.{{ref|acok|22}}

It is interesting to note that [[Bryce Caron]] is the Lord of [[Nightsong]] when he is appointed to the Rainbow Guard. It is not made clear if this is honorary during wartime or he has given up his seat without an heir.

Following the death of Renly, the Rainbow Guard disintegrates:

* [[Loras Tyrell]] goes mad from grief. When [[House Tyrell]] joins [[House Lannister]] against Stannis, Loras fights under the banner of House Tyrell. He later joins the Kingsguard as part of the alliance with the Lannisters.
* [[Brienne of Tarth]], having been witness to Renly's death and being blamed for it, flees the scene and becomes a sworn sword of [[Catelyn Stark]].
* [[Robar Royce]] is killed by Loras for allowing Renly's murder.
* [[Emmon Cuy]] is killed by Loras for allowing Renly's murder.
* [[Guyard Morrigen]], fighting for [[Stannis Baratheon]], is slain during the [[Battle of the Blackwater]] by [[Garlan Tyrell]].
* [[Parmen Crane]], who switches to [[Stannis Baratheon]], is captured at [[Bitterbridge]] by Loras and then held at [[Highgarden]]. His status is unknown.
* [[Bryce Caron]], fighting for Stannis, is slain at the Blackwater by [[Philip Foote]].

==''Game of Thrones''==
[[File:RainbowGuard HBO.jpg|thumb|250px|HBO TV adaptation, Rainbow Guard version]]

In the television adaptation ''[[Game of Thrones]]'', the Rainbow Guard is simply described as "King Renly's Kingsguard" rather than as the "Rainbow Guard." In the United States, the gay rights political movement has adopted the rainbow as its symbol.<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_flag_(LGBT_movement)</ref> Author [[George R. R. Martin]] did not intend the book's use of "Rainbow Guard" as a play on gay rights; however, HBO has elected not to use the "Rainbow Guard" in its adaptation due to the political connotations, despite the explicit depiction of the relationship between [[Renly Baratheon]] and [[Loras Tyrell]].<ref>http://www.wired.com/underwire/2012/04/game-of-thrones-drowning/</ref>

Queensguard

2015-04-13T15:28:13Z

Archaeology:

The '''Queensguard''', much like the [[Kingsguard]], are the royal bodyguards of the Queen Regnant. Supposedly the finest [[knight]]s in the [[Seven Kingdoms]], they are sworn to protect their queen and the royal family with their own lives, to obey her commands, and to keep her secrets. They are sworn for life and are forbidden from owning land, taking a wife, or fathering children.{{Ref|aGoT|6}} There have been only two known instances in the history of ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'' that the Queensguard has been implemented, the first being under [[Rhaenyra Targaryen]] during the [[Dance of the Dragons]] civil war<ref>[[The Princess and the Queen]]</ref> and more recently under [[Daenerys Targaryen]] after the death of her husband, Khal [[Drogo]].

==History==
The first known implementation of the Queensguard was founded by [[Rhaenyra Targaryen]] of [[House Targaryen]] as an elite bodyguard for the queen and her family during the [[House Targaryen|Targaryen]] civil war known as the [[Dance of the Dragons]]. [[Daenerys Targaryen]] established her own Queensguard following the death of Khal [[Drogo]], when she declared herself Queen and her surviving followers her ''[[khalasar]]''.

Historically composed of seven knights sworn to a lifetime of service, members are to serve unto death despite age or any physical or mental ailments, with an invalid member's duties being taken up by his sworn brothers.<ref>So Spake Martin. [http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Category/C91/P225/ The Kingsguard] (May 22, 1999)</ref> During his time as a member of the Queensguard, a member is not allowed to hold lands, sire children, marry, or have any worldly allegiance except to his monarch. All members of the Queensguard must be sworn knights, although this is currently not always the case under Daenerys.

Of note is that prior to his meeting with [[Skahaz mo Kandaq]] Lord Commander Ser [[Barristan Selmy]] states to himself that Daenerys Targaryen "had never established a proper Queensguard even for herself."{{Ref|adwd|55}}

===Under Rhaenyra Targaryen during the Dance of the Dragons===

The Kingsguard of King [[Viserys I Targaryen|Viserys I]] split during the succession war that broke out upon his death, known as the [[Dance of the Dragons]]. Four of them sided with Rhaenyra's half-brother Aegon II (including Lord Commander [[Criston Cole]]), but the other three defected to Rhaenyra, forming the core of her new Queensgard: Ser Steffon, Ser Lorent, and Ser Erryk.

Order of the Green Hand

Archaeology:

The '''Order of the Green Hand''' was a [[knight]]ly order founded by [[House Gardener]], the [[Kings of the Reach]] whose sigil was a green hand. Only those both virtuous and skilled in arms were offered membership. The last members of the Order died with King [[Mern IX Gardener]] at the [[Field of Fire]] during the [[War of Conquest]].{{ref|TWOIAF|Highgarden}} However, the knights of [[House Manderly]] still claim membership in the Order, as the Manderlys had previously been exiled from [[the Reach]].{{ref|ADWD|19}}

The '''Kingsguard''', also known poetically as the '''White Swords''' or '''White Cloaks''', are the royal bodyguards of the [[Iron Throne]]. Supposedly the finest [[knight]]s in the [[Seven Kingdoms]], they are sworn to protect their king and the royal family with their own lives, to obey his commands, and to keep his secrets. They are sworn for life and are forbidden from owning land, taking a wife, or fathering children.{{Ref|aGoT|6}}

Queen [[Rhaenyra Targaryen]] in {{Date|129}} to {{Date|130}} and Queen [[Daenerys Targaryen]] since {{Date|300}} have operated with a [[Queensguard]], instead of a Kingsguard. ''For more information about the Queensguard and their members, see [[Queensguard|here]]''.

==History==
The Kingsguard was founded by [[Aegon I Targaryen|Aegon the Conqueror]] of [[House Targaryen]] as an elite bodyguard for those of royal blood. Historically composed of seven knights sworn to a lifetime of service, members are to serve unto death despite age or any physical or mental ailments, with an invalid member's duties being taken up by his sworn brothers.<ref>So Spake Martin. [http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Category/C91/P225/ The Kingsguard] (May 22, 1999)</ref> During his time as a member of the Kingsguard, a member is not allowed to hold lands, sire children, marry, or have any worldly allegiance except to his monarch. Some of the greatest warriors, battle commanders, swordsmen, and famous historical figures in the history of [[Westeros]] have served in the Kingsguard, including members of House Targaryen itself. All members of the Kingsguard must be sworn knights.{{Ref|aGoT|57}}

The first Kingsguard was actually created at the suggestion of [[Visenya Targaryen]], after a Dornish assassination attempt on Aegon in the streets of King's Landing. She self-consciously modeled the Kingsguard vows of holding no lands or title on the ancient vows of the [[Night's Watch]].{{Ref|TWOIAF}}

The Kingsguard has continuously existed since the reign of Aegon I. Its uninterrupted history is recorded in the [[White Book]], a volume maintained by the head of the Kingsguard, known as the [[Lord Commander of the Kingsguard|Lord Commander]], and stored in the Round Room of the [[White Sword Tower]], a four-story tower built into one of the seaward walls of the [[Red Keep]] of [[King's Landing]]. In the White Book, officially known as ''The Book of Brothers'', each member of the Kingsguard is given one page on which his personal history and a record of his deeds are written. Because of its status as the royal bodyguard and the many remarkable figures who have been members, the Kingsguard has been involved in many major historical events in Westeros.

Although the White Swords may not hold lands, certain titles may be retained or granted. [[Aemon Targaryen (son of Viserys II)|Aemon Targaryen]] and [[Lewyn Martell]] continued to use the style of "prince", while Lord Commanders [[Ryam Redwyne]] and [[Criston Cole]] have also acted as [[Hand of the King]]. Ser [[Jaime Lannister]] for a time was also [[Warden of the East]], and [[Robert Baratheon|King Robert]] threatened to make him Hand as well (before he was Lord Commander). Finally, [[Eddard Stark]] speaks of Jaime being in line to inherit the title [[Warden of the West]].{{ref|agot|12}}

After [[Robert's Rebellion]], [[Robert Baratheon]], the new king, chose to continue the tradition of the Kingsguard. He went as far as to elevate a member of [[Aerys II Targaryen|Aerys II]]'s Kingsguard, Ser [[Barristan Selmy]], to the position of Lord Commander. Selmy held that position until dismissed in an unprecedented move by Robert's heir, [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey I]]. After Selmy's dismissal, the last of the remaining knights from Aerys II's Kingsguard, Joffrey's uncle Ser [[Jaime Lannister]], was appointed Lord Commander. [[Sandor Clegane]] was chosen to replace the departed Ser Barristan, becoming the first member not to have been a sworn knight.

==Equipment and Duties==
The Kingsguard wear all white cloaks, carry plain white shields and with some occasional exceptions wear little or no ornamentation or sigils on their white armor. This plain but striking attire lends credence to their role of being seen but not heard until their advice is asked. Discretion and wisdom are often as important skills as martial ability being as they are expected to be with their king or queen at all times, privy to all their secrets, plans, and every aspect of their personal lives.

The Kingsguard wear intricate suits of white enameled scales, their fastenings for breastplate and other pieces made of silver.{{Ref|aGoT|15}}{{Ref|aGoT|57}} Jaime Lannister, standing vigil for [[Tywin Lannister|his father]], wears a long hauberk, its scales mother-of-pearl chased with gold.{{ref|affc|7}} They alone bear the right to carry a pure white unemblazoned shield.{{Ref|aGoT|30}}

In order to protect the royal family night and day, the seven-man Kingsguard must rely to some degree on others. Prince [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]] has his own sworn shield, [[Sandor Clegane]], other knights are trusted with the king's security when the entire Kingsguard meets in [[White Sword Tower]], and the queen may be guarded by soldiers from her own household (as Queen [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei]] has [[Vylarr]] and his [[House Lannister|red cloaks]]).

One of the Kingsguard always stands guard outside the council chambers when the [[small council]] is in session, and one is usually posted at the end of the bridge into [[Maegor's Holdfast]].{{ref|acok|3}}{{ref|affc|17}}

==Appointments==
The rite for making a new member of the White Swords can vary. In common there seems to be the fact that it is a solemn and formal event, in which the knight kneels as he makes his vows before the king, and he receives the white cloak of the Kingsguard from the Hand of the King or the Lord Commander himself.{{Ref|aGoT|58}}{{Ref|aCoK|49}} The Lord Commander is always chosen by the king, with seniority and ability only playing parts in the decision.<ref>So Spake Martin [http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/Archon_Meeting_October_5_73/ Archon Meeting] (October 5, 2001)</ref> Also the Lord Commander is generally chosen from the existing pool of the Kingsguard.

After the [[Robert's Rebellion|War]], King [[Robert Baratheon|Robert]] was left in the position of having to fill five vacancies in the Kingsguard. This, along with the blatantly political appointments made by his wife, Queen [[Cersei Lannister]], lead many to regard the present as a low point in the Kingsguard's history. The continued inclusion of [[Jaime Lannister]] despite his betrayal of [[Aerys II Targaryen|Aerys II]] was poorly received by many outside of the [[House Lannister|Lannister]] inner circle.

* Ser [[Barristan Selmy]], called '''Barristan the Bold'''. Pardoned by King Robert after [[Robert's Rebellion]] and promoted to '''Lord Commander'''.

[[File:Kings guard2.jpg|thumb|350px|Kingsguard Under [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey I]]]]

The Kingsguard entered an even more controversial time after the death of King [[Robert Baratheon]]. His heir, [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]], dismissed Lord Commander [[Barristan Selmy|Selmy]], something never before done in the history of the Kingsguard. This time period also saw the appointment of unanointed warrior and brutal [[House Lannister]] retainer, [[Sandor Clegane]]. These changes in the Kingsguard including the appointment of Lannister loyalists and [[Loras Tyrell]] of [[House Tyrell]], Lannister allies in the [[War of the Five Kings]], can be viewed as attempts to make political appointments in order to solidify Lannister power on the throne.

* Ser [[Barristan Selmy]], '''Lord Commander''', called '''Barristan the Bold'''. Dismissed by King [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]] on the grounds of old age.
* Ser [[Jaime Lannister]], the '''Kingslayer''', elevated to '''Lord Commander''' after Selmy's dismissal. Spent most of Joffrey's reign as a prisoner of King [[Robb Stark]] at [[Riverrun]] until freed by Lady [[Catelyn Tully|Catelyn Stark]]. His right hand was severed by the [[Brave Companions]] after his recapture. Returned to King's Landing by [[Brienne of Tarth]].
* [[Sandor Clegane]], known as '''the Hound''', raised to the Kingsguard when Barristan Selmy was dismissed. During the [[Battle of the Blackwater]] Sandor fought bravely but later deserted due to his fear of fire. Controversially, Sandor was raised to the Kingsguard despite not being knighted.
* Ser [[Meryn Trant]].
* Ser [[Arys Oakheart]], sent to [[Dorne]] with Princess [[Myrcella Baratheon]].
* Ser [[Boros Blount]], removed for surrendering Prince [[Tommen Baratheon]] to Tommen's uncle, [[Tyrion Lannister]]. Despite this, Blount was later reinstated by Lord [[Tywin Lannister]] when [[Sandor Clegane]] deserted.
* Ser {[[Preston Greenfield]]}, killed by [[Riot of King's Landing|rioters]] in [[King's Landing]] in {{Date|299}}.
* Ser [[Osmund Kettleblack]], a former sellsword. Raised to the Kingsguard when Boros Blount was dismissed on the grounds of cowardice.
* Ser [[Balon Swann]], raised to the Kingsguard after the death of Preston Greenfield.
* Ser {[[Mandon Moore]]}, attempted to kill Tyrion Lannister in {{Date|299}} during the Battle of the Blackwater, and was instead killed by Tyrion's squire, [[Podrick Payne]], in turn.
* Ser [[Loras Tyrell]], known as the '''Knight of Flowers'''. Raised to the Kingsguard after the death of Mandon Moore.

===Kingsguard during the reign of King [[Tommen Baratheon|Tommen I Baratheon]] ({{Date|300}})===

* Ser [[Jaime Lannister]], '''Lord Commander''', also known as the '''Kingslayer'''.
* Ser [[Loras Tyrell]], known as the '''Knight of Flowers'''. Rumored to be near death after the [[Siege of Dragonstone]] in {{Date|300}}.

* Ser [[Balon Swann]], hunting Ser [[Gerold Dayne]] in [[Dorne]], to avenge the death of Arys Oakheart.
* Ser [[Meryn Trant]].
* Ser [[Boros Blount]], mocked as '''Boros the Belly''', made King [[Tommen Baratheon|Tommen]]'s food taster.
* Ser {[[Arys Oakheart]]}, killed by [[Areo Hotah]] in Dorne in {{Date|300}}, seduced into helping a failed coup by [[Arianne Martell]].
* Ser [[Robert Strong]], raised to the Kingsguard after Arys Oakheart's death. Rumors about his true identity have arisen amongst those at court.

Brotherhood of Winged Knights

{{Warning|This information has thus far been released in a sample chapter for ''[[The Winds of Winter]]'', and might therefor not be in finalized form. Keep in mind that the content as described below is still subject to change.}}

The '''Brotherhood of Winged Knights''' is a [[knight]]ly order founded by [[House Arryn]] in {{Date|300}}.<ref name=Winds></ref>

==Recent Events==
===''The Winds of Winter''===
The idea for the order was first suggested by [[Sansa Stark|Alayne Stone]], after she had noticed that young [[Robert Arryn]] was always comforted when she read him tales of his legendary ancestor, Ser [[Artys Arryn]], the Winged Knight. This gave her the idea that perhaps he would be comforted if he were surrounded by his own bodyguard of Winged Knights, as the young Lord of the Eyrie did not feel safe. [[Petyr Baelish]], regent for Lord Robert, liked the idea and immediately set plans in motion to form the order. The members of the order will be determined by a tournament at the [[Bloody Gate]]. The winners of this tourney will become the first members of the new knightly order.<ref name=Winds>''The Winds of Winter'', Alayne</ref>

The Brotherhood of Winged Knights are to contain eight members. While Alayne Stone had originally suggested seven - like the [[Kingsguard]] - Lord Robert felt he should have more guards than King [[Tommen Baratheon]], so the number of members was increased. The members of the Brotherhood will serve Lord Robert Arryn for the next three years.<ref name=Winds></ref>

In the tournament to determine the initial membership, sixty-four knights from across the Vale competed for the eight positions. As [[Lysa Arryn]] had kept the men of the [[Vale]] out of the [[War of the Five Kings]], many of the young and unblooded knights were eager to prove their martial prowess, causing the tournament to draw lots of participants.<ref name=Winds></ref>

'''Marla Sunderland''' was a member of [[House Sunderland]] that briefly ruled the [[Three Sisters]] as [[King of the Three Sisters|Queen]].

==History==
During the [[War of Conquest]], the Sistermen took advantage of the chaos and rebelled against the rule of [[House Arryn]], installing Marla as their Queen. However, she was deposed when a [[Braavos|Braavosi]] fleet, hired by [[House Stark]] at the behest of [[Aegon I Targaryen|Aegon the Conqueror]], approached the Three Sisters. Marla's brother bent the knee while Queen Marla ended her days as a [[Silent Sisters|silent sister]].{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Vale}}
