They blazon their arms with three black [[raven]]s in flight holding three red hearts, on white.{{ref|AFFC|23}}<ref>The Citadel. Heraldry: [http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/Heraldry/Houses/5/ Houses in the Vale]</ref> Their words do not appear in the books.

==History==
===Andal Invasion===
The Corbrays were an [[Andals|Andal]] house during the [[Andal invasion]]. [[Corwyn Corbray (lord)|Corwyn Corbray]] conquered the [[Fingers]] by defeating Houses [[House Brightstone|Brightstone]] and [[House Shell (Vale)|Shell]], claiming for himself the title of [[Lord of the Five Fingers]]. When the [[First Men]] began to unite against the Andals, King [[Robar II Royce]] slew [[Qyle Corbray]], [[King of the Fingers]]. The Corbrays claim that Ser [[Jaime Corbray]] killed Robar in the [[battle of the Seven Stars]].{{ref|TWOIAF| The Vale}}

===Targaryen Era===
During the reign of King [[Aegon I Targaryen]], Ser [[Gawen Corbray]] was chosen by Queen [[Visenya Targaryen]] as [[master-at-arms]] for her son, Prince [[Maegor I Targaryen|Maegor]], on [[Dragonstone]]. On account of his reputation as being one of the deadliest [[knight]]s in the [[Seven Kingdoms]] in his day.{{ref|TSotD}}

Ser [[Corwyn Corbray]] was named a [[regent]] in {{date|134}}, during the [[Regency of Aegon III|regency]] of the young king, [[Aegon III Targaryen]]. He was killed by a crossbowman at [[Runestone]] that same year{{ref|twoiaf| The Targaryen Kings: Aegon III}} when confronting Lord [[House Royce|Royce]], who supported Ser [[Arnold Arryn]] instead of Lady [[Jeyne Arryn|Jeyne]]'s chosen heir, Ser [[Joffrey Arryn]]. The Corbrays subsequently supported Ser Joffrey's claim in the war of succession in the Vale.

During the [[First Blackfyre Rebellion]], Ser [[Gwayne Corbray]] of the [[Kingsguard]] was part of the loyalist forces that fought [[Daemon I Blackfyre|Daemon Blackfyre]] at the [[battle of the Redgrass Field]]. They dueled for nearly an hour, their [[Valyrian steel]] swords [[Blackfyre]] and [[Lady Forlorn]] clashing loudly. At last, Blackfyre struck Gwayne's helm and left him blind and bleeding. Daemon dismounted to tend to his foe and ordered [[Redtusk]] to carry Gwayne back to the [[maesters]] for healing, an action that afterwards some considered decisive, since it gave the [[Raven's Teeth]] enough time to find a good position to fire the arrows that killed Daemon.{{ref|tss}}

[[Petyr Baelish]]'s [[Baelish (sellsword)|great-grandfather]] was born in [[Braavos]], and came to the Vale as a sellsword hired by Lord Corbray.{{ref|ASOS|68}}

===Baratheon Era===
During [[Robert's Rebellion]], [[Lyn Corbray]] fought Lord [[Jon Arryn]] at the gates of [[taking of Gulltown|Gulltown]], and later joined him at the [[battle of the Trident]], where he slew Prince [[Lewyn Martell]]. At the battle, he took [[Lady Forlorn]] after his father was injured, and led a charge which broke the [[Dornishmen]].

'''House Celtigar of Claw Isle''' rules [[Claw Isle]], an island in the [[narrow sea]] off the coast of [[Crackclaw Point]]. The Celtigars are historically sworn to [[Dragonstone]] within the [[Crownlands]].

==History==
House Celtigar is an ancient and proud house, with the blood of old [[Valyrian Freehold|Valyria]] in its veins.{{ref|TWOIAF| The War of Conquest}} [[Crispian Celtigar]] served as [[master of coin]] to [[Aegon I Targaryen]]. The Celtigars claim dominion over [[Crackclaw Point]], but the inhabitants do not acknowledge their claim. When they surrendered peacefully to [[Visenya Targaryen]] during the [[War of Conquest]], the people of Crackclaw were officially freed from pledging fealty to anyone but the [[Iron Throne]]. The Celtigars occasionally send men there to collect taxes. If Lord Celtigar sends enough collectors, a few come back to him.{{ref|AFFC|20}}

During the [[Dance of the Dragons]], Lord [[Bartimos Celtigar]] sat on the [[black council]] to Queen [[Rhaenyra Targaryen]].{{ref|tpatq}}

The Celtigars' castle is rumored to hold fabulous treasures that bear witness to their wealth. Among Lord [[Ardrian Celtigar]]'s property there are [[Myr|Myrish]] carpets, [[Volantis|Volantene]] glass, gold and silver plate, jeweled cups, magnificent hawks, a trained sea eagle, an axe of [[Valyrian steel]], chests of rubies, a horn said to summon [[kraken]]s from under the sea, and many fine wines.{{ref|ASOS|36}}

==Recent Events==
===''A Clash of Kings''===
Lord [[Ardrian Celtigar]] answers [[Stannis Baratheon]]'s summons when he crowns himself king and calls his banners. Stannis comments to Ser [[Davos Seaworth]] his disgust about having to sup with his lords, among them Ardrian, who keeps asking which [[Stormlands|stormlords]] will join him. Lord Celtigar's contribution to Stannis's fleet is the ornate ship ''[[Red Claw]]''. Lord Ardrian is made prisoner at the [[Battle of the Blackwater]], and bends the knee to King [[Joffrey Baratheon]]. He remains at [[King's Landing]] afterwards.

===''A Storm of Swords''===
Ser [[Axell Florent]] suggests that Stannis sack [[Claw Isle]] as a reprisal for Celtigar's surrender, but Davos convinces him otherwise and is named [[Hand of the King]] by Stannis for his honest counsel. Lord Celtigar declares at [[Tyrion Lannister]]'s trial for the [[Purple Wedding|death of Joffrey]] that he once heard Tyrion threatening Joffrey.

'''House Tully of Riverrun''' is one of the [[Great Houses]] of the [[Seven Kingdoms]]. Lord [[Hoster Tully]], the [[Lord Paramount of the Trident]], rules over the [[riverlands]] from the Tully seat of [[Riverrun]]. Their sigil is a silver trout leaping on a striped field of blue and mud red, and their house words are "Family, Duty, Honor."{{Ref|aGoT|18}}

==Culture==
===Traits===
Members of House Tully tend to have fair skin, red-brown (i.e. auburn) hair, and blue eyes in a variety of shades.{{ref|AGOT|1}}{{ref|AGOT|14}}{{Ref|AGOT|34}}{{Ref|ACOK|7}}{{ref|ASOS|60}}

===Customs===
Although Riverrun still has a [[godswood]], House Tully follows the [[Faith of the Seven]].{{Ref|AGOT|2}}

Tully funeral customs decree that a deceased member is placed on a small boat. Men might be clad in their armor and surcoat, with a wooden sword and shield. They are placed on their cloak, among stones to make the boat heavy in the water, and driftwood, kindling and scraps of parchement to allow it to catch fire. In honor of the Seven, seven men are chosen to push the funereal boat to the water. Using a flaming arrow, the boat is lit afire.{{Ref|ASOS|35}}

==History==
===Pre-Conquest Era===
House Tully is an old noble house of [[First Men]] origin, dating back to the [[Age of Heroes]]. Ser [[Edmure Tully (father of Axel)|Edmure Tully]] and his sons were allies of [[Tristifer IV Mudd]], the [[King of the Rivers and the Hills]], but the Tullys knelt to the [[Andal]] conqueror [[Armistead Vance]] after Tristifer's death. Edmure's son, [[Axel Tully]], received land at the junction of the [[Red Fork]] and the [[Tumblestone]], where he constructed [[Riverrun]].{{ref|TWOIAF| The Riverlands: House Tully}}

Unlike many Great Houses the Tullys never ruled as kings, but held Riverrun for a thousand years as powerful vassals of those who did. They often defended the [[Trident]] from the [[Kings of the Rock]]. Lord [[Elston Tully]] died supporting Lord [[Roderick Blackwood]] against King [[Humfrey I Teague]]. Lord [[Tommen Tully]] futilely supported Lady [[Agnes Blackwood]] against [[Harwyn Hoare]], [[King of the Iron Islands]], and Tommen's natural son [[Samwell Rivers]] was slain at the Tumblestone.{{ref|TWOIAF| The Riverlands}}

===Targaryen Dynasty===
[[File:Martina PilcerovaHouseTyllyknights.jpg|thumb|400px|Knights of House Tully charge. Illustrated by Martina Pilcerova. © Fantasy Flight Games.]]
House Tully rose to prominence during [[Aegon's Conquest]], when Lord [[Edmyn Tully]] led the rebel river lords who deserted King [[Harren Hoare|Harren the Black]] and joined [[Aegon I Targaryen|Aegon the Conqueror]].{{Ref|aGoT|Appendix}} Following the [[burning of Harrenhal]], Edmyn was rewarded with dominion over the riverlands as the [[Lord Paramount of the Trident]]. One of Edmyn's daughters married Lord [[Quenton Qoherys]] of [[Harrenhal]], while Edmyn himself served two years as [[Hand of the King]] to King Aegon I.{{ref|TWOIAF| The Reign of the Dragons: The Conquest}}{{ref|TWOIAF| The Riverlands: House Tully}}

King [[Aenys I Targaryen]] relied on the Tullys during the rebellion of [[Harren the Red]], and King [[Maegor I Targaryen]] was supported by the Tullys and the [[House Harroway|Harroways]] against Prince [[Aegon Targaryen (son of Aenys I)|Aegon Targaryen]] in the [[Battle Beneath the Gods Eye]]. The Tullys later supported Prince [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen|Jaehaerys Targaryen]] against Maegor.{{ref|TWOIAF| The Riverlands: House Tully}} Lord [[Prentys Tully]] served Jaehaerys I as [[master of laws]], while his wife, Lady [[Lucinda Tully]], led the household for Queen [[Alysanne Targaryen]].{{ref|FAB|A Surfeit of Rulers}}

In {{Date|101}} during the [[Great Council]], Lord [[Grover Tully]] spoke in favor of Prince [[Viserys I Targaryen|Viserys Targaryen]] over [[Laenor Velaryon]] as the successor to Jaehaerys I.{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Riverlands: House Tully}} During the [[Dance of the Dragons]], the Tullys ruled over, in name at least, the quarrelsome river lords.{{ref|TPATQ}} The aged Lord Grover wanted to support the [[greens]], but his grandson [[Elmo Tully|Elmo]] and great-grandson [[Kermit Tully|Kermit]] supported the [[blacks]]. Elmo led the riverlords to battle on the side of [[Rhaenyra Targaryen|Rhaenyra]] during the [[Second Battle of Tumbleton]]. His grandfather died soon after, and Elmo himself followed his grandfather to the grave forty-nine days later. His young son Kermit led the [[Lads]] and slew Lord [[Borros Baratheon]] in the [[Battle of the Kingsroad]].{{ref|TWOIAF| The Riverlands: House Tully}} Kermit's brother, Ser [[Oscar Tully]], founded the [[Stormbreakers]].{{ref|FAB|Under the Regents - The Hooded Hand}}

The Tullys were Targaryen loyalists during the [[Blackfyre Rebellions]].{{ref|TWOIAF| The Riverlands: House Tully}} Lord [[Medgar Tully]] participated in the [[tourney at Ashford Meadow]], where he challenged Ser [[Humfrey Hardyng]] in his first tilt but was defeated.{{ref|THK}} Two years later, during the reign of [[Aerys I Targaryen]], there was a new Lord Tully, a boy of eight (in {{Date|211}}). He was surrounded by women, indicating he had no brothers or uncles.{{ref|TSS}}

===Recent History===
Given the [[riverlands]]' geographic vulnerability, House Tully has often sought alliances in case of invasion. Lord [[Hoster Tully]] sought to wed his brother, Ser [[Brynden Tully]], hero of the [[War of the Ninepenny Kings]], to [[Bethany Redwyne]], but Brynden would have none of it. During the years-long quarrel between the two, Brynden took the moniker "Blackfish".{{ref|AGOT|45}}

Hoster also took a ward, [[Petyr Baelish]], an obscure lordling from the [[Fingers]]. Petyr fell in love with Lord Tully's eldest daughter, [[Catelyn Stark|Catelyn]], but was rebuffed. As consolation he took the virginity of [[Lysa Arryn|Lysa]], Hoster's other daughter. Hoster forbade Petyr from marrying either of his daughters due to his low standing, and ordered Lysa to drink [[moon tea]] to prevent her from bearing Petyr's child.{{ref|ASOS|80}} Hoster accepted an offer from Lord [[Tywin Lannister]] to wed Ser [[Jaime Lannister]] to Lysa, but Jaime unexpectedly joined the [[Kingsguard]] before this could occur.{{ref|ASOS|11}} Hoster rebuffed Tywin's offer of his younger son, [[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion]], as a replacement.{{ref|ASOS|19}} Other prospects existed from [[House Brax]] and others, but Hoster finally accepted an offer from Lord [[Rickard Stark]] that Catelyn be betrothed to [[Brandon Stark]], heir to [[Winterfell]]. Petyr dueled Brandon for Catelyn's favor, resulting in his exile from Riverrun.{{ref|AGOT|40}}

The executions of Brandon and Rickard by King [[Aerys II Targaryen]] complicated matters, but Lord Hoster threw in with the ensuing rebellion of Lord [[Robert I Baratheon|Robert Baratheon]] against [[House Targaryen|Targaryen]] rule, arranging for Catelyn to wed Brandon's brother, Lord [[Eddard Stark]], and for Lysa to marry Lord [[Jon Arryn]]. The riverlands was a major theater in [[Robert's Rebellion]], and Lord Hoster fought in the [[Battle of the Bells]]{{ref|ASOS|29}} His control over his bannermen was not complete, however, as Houses [[House Darry|Darry]], [[House Mooton|Mooton]], and [[House Ryger|Ryger]] supported [[House Targaryen]].{{ref|AGOT|28}} Hoster also crushed the royalist [[House Goodbrook]].{{ref|ASOS|43}} [[House Frey]] delayed their contribution until after the decisive [[Battle of the Trident]], itself fought in the riverlands. After the war, the Tully girls rode off to their husbands' seats, with Ser Brynden accompanying Lysa to the [[Vale of Arryn]] to serve as [[Knight of the Gate]].{{ref|AGOT|34}}

==Recent Events==
===''A Game of Thrones''===
[[File:Tully Septon.jpg|thumb|350px|House Tully Septon by Nacho Molina. © Fantasy Flight Games.]]
Lord [[Hoster Tully]] is an old man, afflicted with an illness which has left him a bed-ridden invalid. His responsibilities fall on his son and heir, Ser [[Edmure Tully]].{{ref|AGOT|40}} After the unexpected death of her husband, [[Jon Arryn]], [[Lysa Arryn|Lysa]] sends a coded message from the [[Eyrie]] to [[Catelyn Stark|Catelyn]] warning her of the [[House Lannister|Lannisters]].{{ref|AGOT|6}} When Catelyn later sails to [[King's Landing]] to speak with her husband, Lord [[Eddard Stark]], about an attempt on their son [[Bran Stark|Bran]]'s life, [[Petyr Baelish]] (now [[master of coin]]) says that the dagger used was [[Tyrion Lannister]]'s.{{ref|AGOT|18}}

While returning to [[Winterfell]], Catelyn captures Tyrion at the [[crossroads inn]]{{ref|AGOT|28}} and brings him to her sister at the Eyrie for trial. Lysa's champion, [[Vardis Egen]], loses a [[trial by combat]] and Tyrion goes free.{{ref|AGOT|40}}

Lord [[Tywin Lannister]] sends raiders under Ser [[Gregor Clegane]] to the [[riverlands]] in retaliation and calls his banners to [[Lannisport]]. The Tullys send survivors of the raids along with a highborn delegation to beseech the [[Iron Throne]] for justice.{{ref|AGOT|43}} Meanwhile, Edmure sends a defensive force to the border of the [[westerlands]], but they are [[Battle in the hills below the Golden Tooth|are crushed beneath the Golden Tooth]] by Ser [[Jaime Lannister]], who goes on to capture Edmure, [[Battle under the walls of Riverrun|scattering his forces]] and besieging the Tully seat.{{ref|AGOT|56}}

King [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey I Baratheon]] names Lord Hoster, Ser Edmure, and Ser [[Brynden Tully]] among the nobles who must swear fealty to him or be declared traitors, forfeiting their lands and titles.{{Ref|aGoT|57}}

Lysa refuses to commit the Vale's forces against the Lannisters.{{ref|AGOT|55}} Brynden the Blackfish, disgusted by her behavior, rides off to join Catelyn's son, [[Robb Stark]], in defending Riverrun.{{ref|AGOT|55}} Robb, through a brilliant maneuver, captures Jaime the Kingslayer. Brynden commands the party of men that draws Jaime out of his encampment and into the [[battle in the Whispering Wood]].{{ref|AGOT|63}} Robb then breaks the siege of Riverrun with an ambitious surprise attack led by Brynden. Lord [[Tytos Blackwood]], commanding the garrison in Riverrun, leads a sortie against the Lannister rear and rescues Edmure.{{ref|AGOT|69}} After this [[Battle of the Camps]], in the great hall of Riverrun, the river lords and northmen proclaim Robb [[King in the North]].{{ref|ASOS|71}}

===''A Clash of Kings''===
Ser Brynden reconciles with his dying brother Hoster{{ref|ACOK|7}} before riding off with Robb, [[King of the Trident]], in his [[westerlands]] campaign.{{ref|ACOK|39}}

Catelyn rides south to treat with [[Renly Baratheon]] at [[melee at Bitterbridge|Bitterbridge]]. Renly insists upon receiving homage from Robb,{{ref|ACOK|22}} but the claimant to the [[Iron Throne]] is [[Siege of Storm's End (299)|killed at Storm's End]].{{ref|ACOK|33}}

Catelyn returns to Riverrun, where Ser Edmure remained to guard Robb's rear. He takes in smallfolk from across the riverlands in an effort to guard them from Lannister raiders, but this reduces Riverrun's stores.{{ref|ACOK|39}} In the [[Battle of the Fords]], Edmure leads the river lords in stopping Tywin's army from crossing the [[Red Fork]].{{ref|ACOK|45}}

[[House Tully guards|Tully guardsmen]] prevent [[red cloaks]] from rescuing Jaime Lannister from Riverrun's dungeon.{{ref|ACOK|25}}{{ref|ACOK|39}} After she hears of the supposed deaths of two of her sons, [[Bran Stark|Bran]] and [[Rickon Stark|Rickon]], at [[capture of Winterfell|Winterfell]], Catelyn releases Jaime from captivity in Riverrun.{{ref|ACOK|55}}

For his service allying [[House Tyrell]] with the Lannisters and [[House Baratheon of King's Landing]], Lord [[Petyr Baelish]] is named [[Lord Paramount of the Trident]] by King Joffrey after the [[Battle of the Blackwater]]. According to the Iron Throne, Petyr replaces the rebellious Hoster as liege lord of the riverlands.{{ref|ACOK|65}}

===''A Storm of Swords''===
Because Catelyn tasked [[Brienne Tarth|Brienne of Tarth]] with bringing Jaime to [[King's Landing]] in an effort to free her daughters, [[Sansa Stark|Sansa]] and [[Arya Stark|Arya]],{{ref|ASOS|1}} she is placed under house arrest within Riverrun.{{ref|ASOS|2}}

In his last weeks, Lord Hoster slips into delirium, and recalls with regret his order for Lysa to abort Petyr Baelish's child.{{ref|ASOS|2}} Edmure and Catelyn are with him as his life ends, but their calls for Lysa to attend go unanswered. On Hoster's death, Edmure becomes Lord of Riverrun in title as well as fact. In accordance with traditional Tully funeral rites, Hoster's body is sent in a boat down the river by seven pallbearing bannermen, and the boat is set alight by a flaming arrow shot by his heir, although the Blackfish has to step in for Edmure.{{Ref|ASOS|35}}

Robb, having returned to Riverrun from the west, has wed [[Jeyne Westerling]], a lesser Lannister vassal, thereby breaking his marriage contract with [[House Frey]]. Robb and Brynden tell Edmure his victory in the [[Battle of the Fords]] unwittingly foiled Robb's strategy to trap Tywin in the west.{{ref|ASOS|14}} To atone, Edmure agrees to marry a Frey in Robb's stead.{{ref|ASOS|35}} The Blackfish is named [[Warden of the Southern Marches]] and holds Riverrun while the others attend the wedding.{{ref|ASOS|45}}

While at the [[Twins]] for Edmure's marriage to [[Roslin Frey]], the Tullys and Starks are betrayed by the Freys and the [[House Bolton|Boltons]] in the [[Red Wedding]]. Catelyn, Robb, and many others are murdered under [[guest right]].{{ref|ASOS|51}} In mockery of the Tully funeral customs, Catelyn is thrown naked from the castle walls into the [[Green Fork]].{{ref|ASOS|58}} Lord Edmure is captured and House Tully is stripped of its lands, titles, and incomes. The lordship of Riverrun and its associated lands and incomes are given to the newly-established [[House Frey of Riverrun]], though House Tully's status as overlords of the riverlands has already passed to their former ward, Petyr Baelish, now [[House Baelish of Harrenhal|Lord of Harrenhal]].{{Ref|aSoS|72}} Ser Brynden is besieged by Freys at Riverrun, one of the last anti-Lannister strongholds in the south.{{Ref|ASOS|74}}

In the aftermath of [[Purple Wedding|Joffrey's death]], Sansa Stark flees King's Landing with the aid of Petyr Baelish. Lysa travels to [[Drearfort|Petyr's tower]] in the [[Fingers]] and marries him there.{{ref|ASOS|68}} After a confrontation with Sansa at the Eyrie, Lysa is thrown through the [[Moon Door]] to her death by Petyr.{{ref|ASOS|80}}

Catelyn's corpse is recovered from the Green Fork by [[Nymeria (direwolf)|a wolf]],{{ref|ASOS|65}} and the revived Catelyn has the [[brotherhood without banners]] hang [[Petyr Frey|Petyr]] and [[Merrett Frey]].{{ref|ASOS|Epilogue}}

===''A Feast for Crows''===
During the [[siege of Riverrun]], Brynden the Blackfish withstands daily threats from Ser [[Ryman Frey]] that Edmure will be hanged.{{ref|AFFC|33}} Once Ser [[Jaime Lannister]] arrives, he is unable to convince Brynden to yield the castle. Jaime instead threatens Edmure with sending rivermen against Riverrun and using a trebuchet to throw the pregnant Roslin's child into Riverrun once it is born.{{ref|AFFC|38}} Edmure convinces Brynden to yield Riverrun, although the Blackfish escapes to parts unknown. Edmure is to be held in genteel captivity at [[Casterly Rock]], with his wife Roslin slated to join him after she gives birth.{{ref|AFFC|44}}

[[Thoros of Myr]] reveals that the corpse of Catelyn, now called Lady Stoneheart, received the [[last kiss]] from the outlaw lord [[Beric Dondarrion]]. She has gone on a campaign of vengeance, killing anyone she finds associated with the Red Wedding.{{ref|AFFC|30}} Her outlaws capture [[Brienne Tarth|Brienne of Tarth]] and threaten her with hanging.{{ref|AFFC|42}}

===''A Dance with Dragons''===

'''House Broome''' is a noble house from the [[westerlands]]. Their heraldry and words are unknown.

==History==
House Broome was among the pious noble houses who openly sided with the [[Faith Militant]] during their war against Maegor. Eventually Maegor used [[Balerion]] to burn out their castle, along with the castles of other houses in the westerlands such as the [[House Falwell|Falwells]], [[House Lorch|Lorches]], and [[House Doggett|Doggetts]].{{ref|FAB}}

Lord [[Prentys Tully]], who was Lord of [[Riverrun]] during the uprising, was himself married to [[Lucinda Broome]], who was noted for her piety. Nonetheless Lord Prentys, like the other Great Houses of the realm, did not openly turn against Maegor for fear of reprisal, until the very end of his reign.{{ref|FAB}}

Ser '''Malentine Velaryon''' was a nephew of Lord [[Corlys Velaryon]] by his youngest brother. He had several brothers, including Ser [[Rhogar Velaryon|Rhogar]] and several cousins.{{ref|fab}}

==History==
During the reign of King [[Viserys I Targaryen|Viserys I]], their cousin Ser [[Vaemond Velaryon]], had put himself forward as the true heir to [[Driftmark]], on the grounds that Lord Corlys' chosen successor, his grandson [[Lucerys Velaryon|Lucerys]], was a bastard. Their cousin lost his head at the behest of Lucerys' mother, Princess Rhaenyra, who had Prince Daemon seize him, behead him and feed his carcas to her dragon. Yet when Ser Malentine and his siblings, took their case before the sick and failing Viserys, they made the grievous mistake of questioning the legitimacy of his daughter Rhaenyra’s children. Viserys had their tongues removed for this insolence, though he let them keep their heads.

The succession of the baseborn [[Alyn Velaryon|Alyn of Hull]] as [[Lord of the Tides]], was not uncontested. Several Velaryon cousins of Alyn of Hull, amongst them Ser Malentine and his surviving brother, yet again took their own claim to the council in King’s Landing. When the Hand and the regents ruled against them, Ser Vaemond's sons, [[Daemion Velaryon|Daemion]] and [[Daeron Velaryon]] choose to accept this decision.

Their silent cousins chose a different course. “Lacking tongues with which to make their appeal, they preferred to argue with swords,” says [[Mushroom]]. However, the plot to murder their young lord went awry when the guards at [[Castle Driftmark]] proved loyal to the Sea Snake’s memory and his chosen heir. Ser Malentine was slain during the attempt; his brother captured. Condemned to death, Ser Rhogar saved his head by taking the [[Night's Watch|black]].{{ref|fab}}

Ser '''Rhogar Velaryon''' was a nephew of Lord [[Corlys Velaryon]] by his youngest brother. He had several brothers, including Ser [[Malentine Velaryon|Malentine]] and several cousins.{{ref|fab}}

==History==
During the reign of King [[Viserys I Targaryen|Viserys I]], their cousin Ser [[Vaemond Velaryon]], had put himself forward as the true heir to [[Driftmark]], on the grounds that Lord Corlys' chosen successor, his grandson [[Lucerys Velaryon|Lucerys]], was a bastard. Their cousin lost his head at the behest of Lucerys' mother, Princess Rhaenyra, who had Prince Daemon seize him, behead him and feed his carcas to her dragon. Yet when Ser Malentine and his siblings, took their case before the sick and failing Viserys, they made the grievous mistake of questioning the legitimacy of his daughter Rhaenyra’s children. Viserys had their tongues removed for this insolence, though he let them keep their heads.

The succession of the baseborn [[Alyn Velaryon|Alyn of Hull]] as [[Lord of the Tides]], was not uncontested. Several Velaryon cousins of Alyn of Hull, amongst them Ser Rhogar and his brother, yet again took their own claim to the council in King’s Landing. When the Hand and the regents ruled against them, Ser Vaemond's sons, [[Daemion Velaryon|Daemion]] and [[Daeron Velaryon]] choose to accept this decision.

Their silent cousins chose a different course. “Lacking tongues with which to make their appeal, they preferred to argue with swords,” says [[Mushroom]]. However, the plot to murder their young lord went awry when the guards at [[Castle Driftmark]] proved loyal to the Sea Snake’s memory and his chosen heir. Ser Rhogar was captured during the attempt; his brother slain. Condemned to death, Ser Rhogar saved his head by taking the [[Night's Watch|black]].{{ref|fab}}

Ser '''Vaemond Velaryon''' was a [[knight]] of [[House Velaryon]]. He had two sons, [[Daemion Velaryon]] and [[Daeron Velaryon]].{{ref|fab}}

==History==
In an attempt to inherit [[Driftmark]], Vaemond claimed the children of Ser [[Laenor Velaryon]] and Princess [[Rhaenyra Targaryen]] were [[bastards]]. Ser Vaemond, a nephew of Lord [[Corlys Velaryon|Corlys]] by the eldest of his younger brothers, had put himself forward as the true heir to [[Driftmark]], on the grounds that Lord Corlys' chosen successor, his grandson [[Lucerys Velaryon|Lucerys]], thus was a bastard. In response Lucerys' mother, Rhaenyra, had dispatched her husband, Prince Daemon, to seize Ser Vaemond. She had his head removed, and fed his carcass to her dragon, [[Syrax]]. His five younger cousins had their tongues removed afterwards by King [[Viserys I Targaryen]] for similar reasons.{{ref|trp}}{{ref|fab}}

'''House Velaryon of Driftmark''' rules the island of [[Driftmark]], the largest island of [[Blackwater Bay]] in the [[crownlands]]. Their castles include [[Driftmark (castle)|Driftmark]] and [[High Tide]].{{ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Jaehaerys I}} The head of House Velaryon is titled [[Lord of the Tides]] and [[Master of Driftmark]].{{Ref|AFFC|Appendix}} The Velaryons are sworn to [[Dragonstone]].{{ref|AGOT|Appendix}} Their arms depict a silver seahorse on sea green.{{ref|aCoK|10}}<ref>Citadel.

[http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/Heraldry/Mottoes/ House Mottoes]</ref> A traditional name of the Velaryons is Jacaerys.{{ref|trp}} It was traditional for the sons of the seahorse (the sigil of House Velaryon) to be given a taste of a seafarer’s life when young.{{ref|fab}}

House Velaryon is of [[Valyrian Freehold|Valyrian]] descent, and its members often have Valyrian features, such as silver hair, [[purple eyes]], and pale skin.{{Ref|AFFC|12}}

==History==
===Origins===
House Velaryon is an ancient and proud house, with the blood of [[Valyrian Freehold|old Valyria]] in its veins.{{ref|aCoK|10}}{{Ref|aFfC|12}} A noble house with a storied Valyrian lineage, the Velaryons had come to [[Westeros]] even before the [[House Targaryen|Targaryens]], if their family histories can be believed, settling in the [[Gullet]] on the low-lying and fertile isle of [[Driftmark|island of Driftmark]] (so named for the driftwood that the tides brought daily to its shores) rather than its stony, smoking neighbor, [[Dragonstone]].{{ref|fab}} The [[Driftmark (castle)|castle of Driftmark]] housed their ancient high seat, the [[Driftwood Throne]], which according to legend had been given to them by the [[Merling King (god)|Merling King]] to conclude a pact.{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Jaehaerys I}}

Though never dragonriders, the Velaryons had for centuries remained the oldest and closest allies of the Targaryens. The sea was their element, not the sky. During the Conquest, it was Velaryon ships that carried Aegon’s soldiers across Blackwater Bay, and later formed the greater part of the royal fleet. Throughout the first century of Targaryen rule, so many Lords of the Tides served on the small council as master of ships that the office was widely seen as almost hereditary.{{ref|fab}}

Their close proximity to the [[Gullet]] enabled the Velaryons to fill their coffers from trade in the narrow sea and [[Blackwater Bay]]. They allied with House Targaryen from [[Dragonstone]] and [[House Celtigar]] from [[Claw Isle]], both houses of Valyrian descent; While the Velaryons and Celtigars dominated the middle reaches of the narrow sea with their ships, the Targaryens ruled the skies with their [[dragon]]s.{{ref|TWOIAF| The Reign of the Dragons: The Conquest}}

===Aegon's Conquest===
The close relations between Houses Velaryon and Targaryen resulted in multiple marriages between the houses, both before and after the [[Wars of Conquest]]. From one such marriage was born [[Valaena Velaryon]].{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Reign of the Dragons: The Conquest}} She married [[Aerion Targaryen (son of Daemion)|Aerion Targaryen]], the [[Lord of Dragonstone]], with whom she had three children: [[Visenya Targaryen|Visenya]], Lord [[Aegon I Targaryen|Aegon]], and [[Rhaenys Targaryen|Rhaenys]].{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Reign of the Dragons: The Conquest}}

House Velaryon allied with the Targaryens at the start of [[Aegon's Conquest]]. Lord [[Daemon Velaryon (master of ships)|Daemon Velaryon]] was made [[master of ships]] by Aegon the Conqueror after the mouth of the [[Blackwater Rush]] had been secured. Daemon died fighting for Aegon I in the [[battle in the waters off Gulltown]], however.{{ref|twoiaf| The Reign of the Dragons: The Conquest}}

===Early Targaryen reign===
[[File:Even Mehl Amundsen Dragonstone Bannerman.JPG|thumb|350px|A Velaryon bannerman serving at [[Dragonstone]]. Illustrated by Even Mehl Amundsen. © Fantasy Flight Games.]]
House Velaryon kept an influential position at the court of the Targaryen kings during the first two centuries of the Targaryen reign. In {{Date|10}} Ser [[Corlys Velaryon (Kingsguard)|Corlys Velaryon]] became the first [[Lord Commander of the Kingsguard]].{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Aegon I}} His elder brother, Lord [[Aethan Velaryon]] became [[master of ships]] for Aegon I.{{Ref|twoiaf| The Targaryen Kings: Aenys I}} Lord [[Aethan Velaryon|Aethan]] thus succeeded his father as the Admiral of the Royal Fleet, and in turn was succeeded by his own son Lord [[Daemon Velaryon (admiral of the king's fleet)|Daemon Velaryon]].{{ref|fab}} Lord Aethan fought against [[Sargoso Saan]], a pirate-lord, in the [[Stepstones]].{{ref|tsotd}}

Aethan's daughter, [[Alyssa Velaryon|Alyssa]], was married to Prince [[Aenys I Targaryen|Aenys Targaryen]], heir to the throne, in {{Date|22}}, with whom she had six children ([[Rhaena Targaryen (daughter of Aenys I)|Rhaena]], [[Aegon Targaryen (son of Aenys I)|Aegon]], [[Viserys Targaryen (son of Aenys I)|Viserys]], [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen|Jaehaerys]], [[Alysanne Targaryen|Alysanne]], and [[Vaella Targaryen (daughter of Aenys I)|Vaella]]).{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Aenys I}} Alyssa became queen at her husband's coronation. She outlived Aenys I and became a prisoner of his brother, [[Maegor I Targaryen]], on [[Dragonstone (island)|Dragonstone]], when Maegor claimed the throne over Aenys's sons by Alyssa. In {{date|44}} Alyssa fled in the confusion that followed the death of Dowager Queen [[Visenya Targaryen]]. Her last surviving son by Aenys, [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen|Jaehaerys]], put forward his claim for the throne. Lord [[Daemon Velaryon (admiral of the king's fleet)|Daemon Velaryon]], Maegor's admiral of the fleet, who had previously supported Maegor, turned against the cruel king, and many of the [[great houses]] of Westeros joined with him.{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Maegor I}}

Alyssa's son Jaehaerys became king at the age of fourteen, and Alyssa ruled as his regent, aided by Lord [[Rogar Baratheon]].{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Jaehaerys I}} After Jaehaerys reached the [[age of majority]], the regency ended, and Alyssa married Rogar,{{Ref|twoiaf| The Stormlands: House Baratheon}} giving birth to two more children: [[Boremund Baratheon|Boremund]] and [[Jocelyn Baratheon]].{{Ref|twoiaf| Appendix: Targaryen Lineage}} The Velaryons of the Old King's reign were a house even more influential than [[House Lannister]].{{ref|TWOIAF| The Westerlands: House Lannister Under the Dragons}}

===The Sea Snake===
Rule of [[Driftmark]] was eventually inherited by Lord [[Corlys Velaryon]], also known as the Sea Snake, who rose to fame with his many voyages across the seas of the world. He accumulated so much wealth that House Velaryon became the richest house in the realm, and himself the wealthiest man in the [[Seven Kingdoms]]. Because their ancestral castle, [[Driftmark (castle)|Driftmark]], was damp and crowded, Corlys constructed a new seat for the Velaryons, [[High Tide]].{{ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Jaehaerys I}}

Alyssa's daughter Jocelyn was eventually wed to Alyssa's grandson, Prince [[Aemon Targaryen (son of Jaehaerys I)|Aemon Targaryen]], at the time the heir to the throne. Their child, Princess [[Rhaenys Targaryen (daughter of Aemon)|Rhaenys]], was in turn wed to Lord Corlys, and gave birth to two children by him: [[Laena Velaryon|Laena]] and [[Laenor Velaryon|Laenor]], both of whom became dragonriders. During the [[Great Council]] of {{Date|101}}, Laenor's claim to the throne was presented before the lords of the Seven Kingdoms. Although primogeniture favored him, and his father's wealth, fame and reputation resulted is much support for Laenor, but in the end, he lost to Prince [[Viserys I Targaryen|Viserys Targaryen]],{{ref|twoiaf| The Targaryen Kings: Jaehaerys I}} causing a rift between the Velaryons and the [[Iron Throne]].{{Ref|TRP}} After Queen [[Aemma Arryn]] died, King Viserys I's [[Grand Maester]], [[Runciter]], suggested Corlys's twelve-year-old daughter Laena as a new bride, but House Velaryon was passed over once more. In response, Corlys and his family shunned Viserys's wedding to [[Alicent Hightower]].{{Ref|TRP}}

Corlys eventually befriended Prince [[Daemon Targaryen]], with whom he [[War for the Stepstones|invaded the Stepstones]] in {{Date|106}}. When Daemon's wife, [[Rhea Royce]], died in {{Date|115}}, Corlys happily agreed to wed Laena to Daemon, following the death of Laena's betrothed. Laena's brother, Laenor, had married [[Rhaenyra Targaryen]], the [[Princess of Dragonstone]], the year before. Although that marriage resulted in three sons, it was rumored that all three boys were [[bastard]]s of Ser [[Harwin Strong]], as they looked nothing like Rhaenyra and Laenor.{{Ref|TRP}} Laena gave birth to twin girls for Daemon, but died in childbirth several years later, in early {{Date|120}}. Laenor was killed shortly after by Ser [[Qarl Correy]].{{Ref|TRP}}

===The Dance of the Dragons===
[[File:House Targaryen (Rhaenyra).svg|thumb|[[Rhaenyra Targaryen]] added the Velaryon seahorse and the [[House Arryn|Arryn]] falcon to the [[House Targaryen|Targaryen]] dragon.]]
[[File:Season5Dance of DragonsNewsofdeath.png|thumb|[[Rhaenyra Targaryen]] and her family receive the news of Prince [[Lucerys Velaryon]]'s death at the hands of Prince [[Aemond Targaryen]]. Screencap from ''[[Game of Thrones]]'', Complete Guide to Westeros]]

Corlys and his wife, [[Rhaenys Targaryen (daughter of Aemon)|Rhaenys]], were major supporters of [[Rhaenyra Targaryen]] during the [[Dance of the Dragons]], in which Rhaenyra's half-brother [[Aegon II Targaryen]] claimed the [[Iron Throne]], despite Rhaenyra having been the proclaimed heir of the late King [[Viserys I Targaryen|Viserys I]]. Prince [[Jacaerys Velaryon]] flew to [[Winterfell]] and negotiated the [[Pact of Ice and Fire]].{{ref|TWOIAF| The North: The Lords of Winterfell}} Prince [[Lucerys Velaryon]] traveled as an envoy to [[Storm's End]], where he was killed by Prince [[Aemond Targaryen]],{{ref|TPATQ}} and Corlys grew furious with Rhaenyra when Rhaenys died at [[battle at Rook's Rest|Rook's Rest]]. Lord Velaryon was brought back into the fold by Rhaenyra naming him [[Hand of the King|Hand of the Queen]].{{ref|tpatq}}

When Prince Jacaerys offered the people of [[Dragonstone (island)|Dragonstone]] to attempt and claim a [[dragon]], to increase the number of dragonriders, [[Addam Velaryon|Addam of Hull]] and his brother [[Alyn Velaryon|Alyn]] made their attempt. Addam succeeded in claiming the dragon [[Seasmoke]], who had previously been ridden by Ser [[Laenor Velaryon]]. According to their mother, [[Marilda]], Laenor had fathered the two boys, which many found a dubious claim, as Laenor had preferred men. The court fool [[Mushroom]] suggests that Addam and Alyn had actually been fathered by Corlys, who had kept them far away from his fiery-tempered wife. With his wife now dead, and the paternity of his son Laenor's children in question, Corlys agreed to adopt both boys into House Velaryon, petitioning Rhaenyra to remove the taint of bastardy from them, enabling him to name them his heirs.{{Ref|tpatq}}

Corlys used his fleets to blockade [[Blackwater Bay]]. However, Jacaerys was killed and the blockade was broken in the [[Battle of the Gullet]]. The Velaryons lost nearly a third of their ships and the [[Triarchy]] sacked [[Spicetown]] and [[High Tide]], with Spicetown never rebuilt.{{ref|tpatq}}

When Rhaenyra became paranoid following [[Two Betrayers|the betrayal of the new dragonriders]] later on in the war, she ordered Addam's arrest. Corlys objected, and when ignored, warned Addam, allowing him to flee [[King's Landing]]. Addam later fought at the [[Second Battle of Tumbleton]], proving his loyalty to Rhaenyra by defeating her foes at the cost of his own life. Meanwhile, Corlys was thrown in the dungeon, and so the Velaryon fleet abandoned Rhaenyra's cause.{{Ref|tpatq}} Prince [[Joffrey Velaryon]] fell to his death during the [[Storming of the Dragonpit]].{{ref|TPATQ}} Rhaenyra fled the capital, but was fed to [[Sunfyre]] after the [[fall of Dragonstone]].{{ref|TPATQ}}

Corlys was freed when Aegon II took King's Landing after the [[Moon of the Three Kings]].{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Aegon II}} In exchange for a pardon,{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Aegon II}} Corlys used his wealth and power to support Aegon II. However, he refused to accept the execution of Rhaenyra's surviving son, Prince [[Aegon III Targaryen|Aegon the Younger]], and insisted the boy should be betrothed to Aegon II's only remaining child, Princess [[Jaehaera Targaryen|Jaehaera]], as a requirement for his support.<ref>asoiaf.westeros.org: [http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?/topic/139166-aegon-ii-and-aegon-iii/&do=findComment&comment=7552930 Aegon II and Aegon III (April 23) - post 1]</ref> Corlys served on Aegon II's [[small council]] until the king's death.{{ref|twoiaf| The Targaryen Kings: Aegon II}} Corlys acted quickly by sending envoys to Aegon II's main supporters, but was arrested on the charge of poisoning Aegon II by Lord [[Cregan Stark]]. He was freed by his granddaughters and Lady [[Alysanne Blackwood]], however, and served the new king as a [[regent]] until his death in {{Date|132}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Aegon III}}

===The Oakenfist===
Following the death of his first wife, [[Jaehaera Targaryen]], King [[Aegon III Targaryen]] married Lady [[Daenaera Velaryon]], the daughter of [[Daeron Velaryon]], a cousin to Lord [[Alyn Velaryon]]. Daenaera gave birth to five children: [[Daeron I Targaryen|Daeron]], [[Baelor I Targaryen|Baelor]], [[Daena Targaryen|Daena]], [[Rhaena Targaryen (daughter of Aegon III)|Rhaena]], and [[Elaena Targaryen|Elaena]]. Although both of her sons would rule as kings, both died childless. Through her daughter Daena, however, Daenaera is an ancestor of [[House Blackfyre]].

Alyn Velaryon, formerly Alyn of Hull, became of Lord of Driftmark upon the death of Corlys the Sea Snake. During the [[regency of Aegon III]], Alyn was the greatest rival to Lord [[Unwin Peake]], then Hand of the King. Alyn was refused his grandfather's place as regent for the young king, and then was made to sail against the Stepstones, where he won a great victory at sea and earned the name Oakenfist. Alyn was later dispatched to the [[westerlands]] to defeat [[Dalton Greyjoy]], the Red Kraken. Lord Unwin had hoped that Alyn would fail, but instead, this expedition became the first of Alyn's six great voyages.{{ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Aegon III}} Alyn later played an important role in the return of Aegon III's brother, [[Viserys II Targaryen|Viserys]], having negotiated his release from captivity in [[Lys]].{{ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Aegon III}}

In {{date|157}}, Alyn Oakenfist took a decisive part in King [[Daeron I Targaryen]]'s [[conquest of Dorne]] as [[master of ships]].{{ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Daeron I}} He commanded a fleet that broke the [[Planky Town]], and swept halfway up the [[Greenblood]] river while the main Dornish strength was engaged with Daeron in the [[Prince's Pass]].{{ref|adwd|17}} Alyn returned to subdue the Planky Town and the Greenblood in {{Date|160}} after the [[Dornishmen]] rebelled.{{ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Daeron I}}

Alyn had an unknown number of children with his wife, Lady [[Baela Targaryen]], the eldest daughter of Prince [[Daemon Targaryen]] and Lady [[Laena Velaryon]].{{Ref|TWOIAF| Appendix: Targaryen Lineage}} Although he was married, he loved the Princess [[Elaena Targaryen]],{{Ref|AFFC|8}} and had two bastards by her, the twins [[Jon Waters|Jon]] and [[Jeyne Waters]].{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Baelor I}}<ref>[[So Spake Martin]]: [http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/Three_Maidens_in_the_Tower/ Three Maidens in a Tower], June 27, 2006</ref> Elaena hoped to marry Alyn, but he disappeared at sea.{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Baelor I}} Their son Jon earned knighthood, married, and had a son of his own who began [[House Longwaters]].{{ref|AFFC|8}}

===Robert's Rebellion===
The Velaryons frequently served as [[master of ships]]—so often that at times the office had seemed hereditary—and provided much of the [[Iron Throne]]'s [[royal fleet]].{{ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Jaehaerys I}} [[Lucerys Velaryon (master of ships)|Lucerys Velaryon]] served as master of ships for King [[Aerys II Targaryen]], being one of the king's bigger supporters against his son [[Rhaegar Targaryen|Rhaegar]], the [[Prince of Dragonstone]].{{ref|TWOIAF| The Fall of the Dragons: The Year of the False Spring}}

During [[Robert's Rebellion]], Rhaegar and Aerys were killed in the [[Battle of the Trident]] and the [[Sack of King's Landing]], respectively. The loyalist fleet anchored at [[Dragonstone (island)|Dragonstone]] was destroyed by the terrible summer storm which raged during the birth of [[Daenerys Targaryen]].{{ref|AGOT|3}} The new king, [[Robert I Baratheon]], granted Dragonstone to his brother [[Stannis Baratheon|Stannis]], so the Velaryons are now sworn to [[House Baratheon of Dragonstone]].{{ref|ACOK|Prologue}}

'''Laena Velaryon''' was the daughter of Lord [[Alyn Velaryon]] and his wife, Princess [[Baela Targaryen]].{{ref|fab}} She was named after her mother's mother, Lady [[Laena Velaryon]].

==History==
Laena was presented a [[dragon|dragon’s]] egg upon her birth, which quickened and hatched. Her parents’ pride and pleasure quickly turned to ash, however; the dragon that wriggled from the egg was a monstrosity, a wingless wyrm, maggot-white and blind. Within moments of hatching, the creature turned upon the babe in her cradle and tore a bloody chunk from her arm. As Laena shrieked, her father, Lord Oakenfist, ripped the “dragon” off her, flung it to the floor, and hacked it into pieces.

'''House Velaryon of Driftmark''' rules the island of [[Driftmark]], the largest island of [[Blackwater Bay]] in the [[crownlands]].

[http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/Heraldry/Mottoes/ House Mottoes]</ref> A traditional name of the Velaryons is Jacaerys.{{ref|trp}} It was traditional for the sons of the seahorse (the sigil of House Velaryon) to be given a taste of a seafarer’s life when young.{{ref|fab}}

House Velaryon is of [[Valyrian Freehold|Valyrian]] descent, and its members often have Valyrian features, such as silver hair, [[purple eyes]], and pale skin.{{Ref|AFFC|12}}

==History==
===Origins===
House Velaryon is an ancient and proud house, with the blood of [[Valyrian Freehold|old Valyria]] in its veins.{{ref|aCoK|10}}{{Ref|aFfC|12}} A noble house with a storied Valyrian lineage, the Velaryons had come to [[Westeros]] even before the [[House Targaryen|Targaryens]], if their family histories can be believed, settling in the [[Gullet]] on the low-lying and fertile isle of [[Driftmark|island of Driftmark]] (so named for the driftwood that the tides brought daily to its shores) rather than its stony, smoking neighbor, [[Dragonstone]].{{ref|fab}} The [[Driftmark (castle)|castle of Driftmark]] housed their ancient high seat, the [[Driftwood Throne]], which according to legend had been given to them by the [[Merling King (god)|Merling King]] to conclude a pact.{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Jaehaerys I}}

Though never dragonriders, the Velaryons had for centuries remained the oldest and closest allies of the Targaryens. The sea was their element, not the sky. During the Conquest, it was Velaryon ships that carried Aegon’s soldiers across Blackwater Bay, and later formed the greater part of the royal fleet. Throughout the first century of Targaryen rule, so many Lords of the Tides served on the small council as master of ships that the office was widely seen as almost hereditary.{{ref|fab}}

Their close proximity to the [[Gullet]] enabled the Velaryons to fill their coffers from trade in the narrow sea and [[Blackwater Bay]]. They allied with House Targaryen from [[Dragonstone]] and [[House Celtigar]] from [[Claw Isle]], both houses of Valyrian descent; While the Velaryons and Celtigars dominated the middle reaches of the narrow sea with their ships, the Targaryens ruled the skies with their [[dragon]]s.{{ref|TWOIAF| The Reign of the Dragons: The Conquest}}

===Aegon's Conquest===
The close relations between Houses Velaryon and Targaryen resulted in multiple marriages between the houses, both before and after the [[Wars of Conquest]]. From one such marriage was born [[Valaena Velaryon]].{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Reign of the Dragons: The Conquest}} She married [[Aerion Targaryen (son of Daemion)|Aerion Targaryen]], the [[Lord of Dragonstone]], with whom she had three children: [[Visenya Targaryen|Visenya]], Lord [[Aegon I Targaryen|Aegon]], and [[Rhaenys Targaryen|Rhaenys]].{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Reign of the Dragons: The Conquest}}

House Velaryon allied with the Targaryens at the start of [[Aegon's Conquest]]. Lord [[Daemon Velaryon (master of ships)|Daemon Velaryon]] was made [[master of ships]] by Aegon the Conqueror after the mouth of the [[Blackwater Rush]] had been secured. Daemon died fighting for Aegon I in the [[battle in the waters off Gulltown]], however.{{ref|twoiaf| The Reign of the Dragons: The Conquest}}

===Early Targaryen reign===
[[File:Even Mehl Amundsen Dragonstone Bannerman.JPG|thumb|350px|A Velaryon bannerman serving at [[Dragonstone]]. Illustrated by Even Mehl Amundsen. © Fantasy Flight Games.]]
House Velaryon kept an influential position at the court of the Targaryen kings during the first two centuries of the Targaryen reign. In {{Date|10}} Ser [[Corlys Velaryon (Kingsguard)|Corlys Velaryon]] became the first [[Lord Commander of the Kingsguard]].{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Aegon I}} His elder brother, Lord [[Aethan Velaryon]] became [[master of ships]] for Aegon I.{{Ref|twoiaf| The Targaryen Kings: Aenys I}} Lord [[Aethan Velaryon|Aethan]] thus succeeded his father as the Admiral of the Royal Fleet, and in turn was succeeded by his own son Lord [[Daemon Velaryon (admiral of the king's fleet)|Daemon Velaryon]].{{ref|fab}} Lord Aethan fought against [[Sargoso Saan]], a pirate-lord, in the [[Stepstones]].{{ref|tsotd}}

Aethan's daughter, [[Alyssa Velaryon|Alyssa]], was married to Prince [[Aenys I Targaryen|Aenys Targaryen]], heir to the throne, in {{Date|22}}, with whom she had six children ([[Rhaena Targaryen (daughter of Aenys I)|Rhaena]], [[Aegon Targaryen (son of Aenys I)|Aegon]], [[Viserys Targaryen (son of Aenys I)|Viserys]], [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen|Jaehaerys]], [[Alysanne Targaryen|Alysanne]], and [[Vaella Targaryen (daughter of Aenys I)|Vaella]]).{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Aenys I}} Alyssa became queen at her husband's coronation. She outlived Aenys I and became a prisoner of his brother, [[Maegor I Targaryen]], on [[Dragonstone (island)|Dragonstone]], when Maegor claimed the throne over Aenys's sons by Alyssa. In {{date|44}} Alyssa fled in the confusion that followed the death of Dowager Queen [[Visenya Targaryen]]. Her last surviving son by Aenys, [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen|Jaehaerys]], put forward his claim for the throne. Lord [[Daemon Velaryon (admiral of the king's fleet)|Daemon Velaryon]], Maegor's admiral of the fleet, who had previously supported Maegor, turned against the cruel king, and many of the [[great houses]] of Westeros joined with him.{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Maegor I}}

Alyssa's son Jaehaerys became king at the age of fourteen, and Alyssa ruled as his regent, aided by Lord [[Rogar Baratheon]].{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Jaehaerys I}} After Jaehaerys reached the [[age of majority]], the regency ended, and Alyssa married Rogar,{{Ref|twoiaf| The Stormlands: House Baratheon}} giving birth to two more children: [[Boremund Baratheon|Boremund]] and [[Jocelyn Baratheon]].{{Ref|twoiaf| Appendix: Targaryen Lineage}} The Velaryons of the Old King's reign were a house even more influential than [[House Lannister]].{{ref|TWOIAF| The Westerlands: House Lannister Under the Dragons}}

===The Sea Snake===
Rule of [[Driftmark]] was eventually inherited by Lord [[Corlys Velaryon]], also known as the Sea Snake, who rose to fame with his many voyages across the seas of the world. He accumulated so much wealth that House Velaryon became the richest house in the realm, and himself the wealthiest man in the [[Seven Kingdoms]]. Because their ancestral castle, [[Driftmark (castle)|Driftmark]], was damp and crowded, Corlys constructed a new seat for the Velaryons, [[High Tide]].{{ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Jaehaerys I}}

Alyssa's daughter Jocelyn was eventually wed to Alyssa's grandson, Prince [[Aemon Targaryen (son of Jaehaerys I)|Aemon Targaryen]], at the time the heir to the throne. Their child, Princess [[Rhaenys Targaryen (daughter of Aemon)|Rhaenys]], was in turn wed to Lord Corlys, and gave birth to two children by him: [[Laena Velaryon|Laena]] and [[Laenor Velaryon|Laenor]], both of whom became dragonriders. During the [[Great Council]] of {{Date|101}}, Laenor's claim to the throne was presented before the lords of the Seven Kingdoms. Although primogeniture favored him, and his father's wealth, fame and reputation resulted is much support for Laenor, but in the end, he lost to Prince [[Viserys I Targaryen|Viserys Targaryen]],{{ref|twoiaf| The Targaryen Kings: Jaehaerys I}} causing a rift between the Velaryons and the [[Iron Throne]].{{Ref|TRP}} After Queen [[Aemma Arryn]] died, King Viserys I's [[Grand Maester]], [[Runciter]], suggested Corlys's twelve-year-old daughter Laena as a new bride, but House Velaryon was passed over once more. In response, Corlys and his family shunned Viserys's wedding to [[Alicent Hightower]].{{Ref|TRP}}

Corlys eventually befriended Prince [[Daemon Targaryen]], with whom he [[War for the Stepstones|invaded the Stepstones]] in {{Date|106}}. When Daemon's wife, [[Rhea Royce]], died in {{Date|115}}, Corlys happily agreed to wed Laena to Daemon, following the death of Laena's betrothed. Laena's brother, Laenor, had married [[Rhaenyra Targaryen]], the [[Princess of Dragonstone]], the year before. Although that marriage resulted in three sons, it was rumored that all three boys were [[bastard]]s of Ser [[Harwin Strong]], as they looked nothing like Rhaenyra and Laenor.{{Ref|TRP}} Laena gave birth to twin girls for Daemon, but died in childbirth several years later, in early {{Date|120}}. Laenor was killed shortly after by Ser [[Qarl Correy]].{{Ref|TRP}}

===The Dance of the Dragons===
[[File:House Targaryen (Rhaenyra).svg|thumb|[[Rhaenyra Targaryen]] added the Velaryon seahorse and the [[House Arryn|Arryn]] falcon to the [[House Targaryen|Targaryen]] dragon.]]
[[File:Season5Dance of DragonsNewsofdeath.png|thumb|[[Rhaenyra Targaryen]] and her family receive the news of Prince [[Lucerys Velaryon]]'s death at the hands of Prince [[Aemond Targaryen]]. Screencap from ''[[Game of Thrones]]'', Complete Guide to Westeros]]

Corlys and his wife, [[Rhaenys Targaryen (daughter of Aemon)|Rhaenys]], were major supporters of [[Rhaenyra Targaryen]] during the [[Dance of the Dragons]], in which Rhaenyra's half-brother [[Aegon II Targaryen]] claimed the [[Iron Throne]], despite Rhaenyra having been the proclaimed heir of the late King [[Viserys I Targaryen|Viserys I]]. Prince [[Jacaerys Velaryon]] flew to [[Winterfell]] and negotiated the [[Pact of Ice and Fire]].{{ref|TWOIAF| The North: The Lords of Winterfell}} Prince [[Lucerys Velaryon]] traveled as an envoy to [[Storm's End]], where he was killed by Prince [[Aemond Targaryen]],{{ref|TPATQ}} and Corlys grew furious with Rhaenyra when Rhaenys died at [[battle at Rook's Rest|Rook's Rest]]. Lord Velaryon was brought back into the fold by Rhaenyra naming him [[Hand of the King|Hand of the Queen]].{{ref|tpatq}}

When Prince Jacaerys offered the people of [[Dragonstone (island)|Dragonstone]] to attempt and claim a [[dragon]], to increase the number of dragonriders, [[Addam Velaryon|Addam of Hull]] and his brother [[Alyn Velaryon|Alyn]] made their attempt. Addam succeeded in claiming the dragon [[Seasmoke]], who had previously been ridden by Ser [[Laenor Velaryon]]. According to their mother, [[Marilda]], Laenor had fathered the two boys, which many found a dubious claim, as Laenor had preferred men. The court fool [[Mushroom]] suggests that Addam and Alyn had actually been fathered by Corlys, who had kept them far away from his fiery-tempered wife. With his wife now dead, and the paternity of his son Laenor's children in question, Corlys agreed to adopt both boys into House Velaryon, petitioning Rhaenyra to remove the taint of bastardy from them, enabling him to name them his heirs.{{Ref|tpatq}}

Corlys used his fleets to blockade [[Blackwater Bay]]. However, Jacaerys was killed and the blockade was broken in the [[Battle of the Gullet]]. The Velaryons lost nearly a third of their ships and the [[Triarchy]] sacked [[Spicetown]] and [[High Tide]], with Spicetown never rebuilt.{{ref|tpatq}}

When Rhaenyra became paranoid following [[Two Betrayers|the betrayal of the new dragonriders]] later on in the war, she ordered Addam's arrest. Corlys objected, and when ignored, warned Addam, allowing him to flee [[King's Landing]]. Addam later fought at the [[Second Battle of Tumbleton]], proving his loyalty to Rhaenyra by defeating her foes at the cost of his own life.

===The Oakenfist===
Following the death of his first wife, [[Jaehaera Targaryen]], King [[Aegon III Targaryen]] married Lady [[Daenaera Velaryon]], the daughter of [[Daeron Velaryon]], a cousin to Lord [[Alyn Velaryon]]. Daenaera gave birth to five children: [[Daeron I Targaryen|Daeron]], [[Baelor I Targaryen|Baelor]], [[Daena Targaryen|Daena]], [[Rhaena Targaryen (daughter of Aegon III)|Rhaena]], and [[Elaena Targaryen|Elaena]]. Although both of her sons would rule as kings, both died childless. Through her daughter Daena, however, Daenaera is an ancestor of [[House Blackfyre]].

Alyn Velaryon, formerly Alyn of Hull, became of Lord of Driftmark upon the death of Corlys the Sea Snake. During the [[regency of Aegon III]], Alyn was the greatest rival to Lord [[Unwin Peake]], then Hand of the King. Alyn was refused his grandfather's place as regent for the young king, and then was made to sail against the Stepstones, where he won a great victory at sea and earned the name Oakenfist. Alyn was later dispatched to the [[westerlands]] to defeat [[Dalton Greyjoy]], the Red Kraken. Lord Unwin had hoped that Alyn would fail, but instead, this expedition became the first of Alyn's six great voyages.{{ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Aegon III}} Alyn later played an important role in the return of Aegon III's brother, [[Viserys II Targaryen|Viserys]], having negotiated his release from captivity in [[Lys]].{{ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Aegon III}}

In {{date|157}}, Alyn Oakenfist took a decisive part in King [[Daeron I Targaryen]]'s [[conquest of Dorne]] as [[master of ships]].{{ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Daeron I}} He commanded a fleet that broke the [[Planky Town]], and swept halfway up the [[Greenblood]] river while the main Dornish strength was engaged with Daeron in the [[Prince's Pass]].{{ref|adwd|17}} Alyn returned to subdue the Planky Town and the Greenblood in {{Date|160}} after the [[Dornishmen]] rebelled.{{ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Daeron I}}

Alyn had an unknown number of children with his wife, Lady [[Baela Targaryen]], the eldest daughter of Prince [[Daemon Targaryen]] and Lady [[Laena Velaryon]].{{Ref|TWOIAF| Appendix: Targaryen Lineage}} Although he was married, he loved the Princess [[Elaena Targaryen]],{{Ref|AFFC|8}} and had two bastards by her, the twins [[Jon Waters|Jon]] and [[Jeyne Waters]].{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Baelor I}}<ref>[[So Spake Martin]]: [http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/Three_Maidens_in_the_Tower/ Three Maidens in a Tower], June 27, 2006</ref> Elaena hoped to marry Alyn, but he disappeared at sea.{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Baelor I}} Their son Jon earned knighthood, married, and had a son of his own who began [[House Longwaters]].{{ref|AFFC|8}}

===Robert's Rebellion===
The Velaryons frequently served as [[master of ships]]—so often that at times the office had seemed hereditary—and provided much of the [[Iron Throne]]'s [[royal fleet]].{{ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Jaehaerys I}} [[Lucerys Velaryon (master of ships)|Lucerys Velaryon]] served as master of ships for King [[Aerys II Targaryen]], being one of the king's bigger supporters against his son [[Rhaegar Targaryen|Rhaegar]], the [[Prince of Dragonstone]].{{ref|TWOIAF| The Fall of the Dragons: The Year of the False Spring}}

During [[Robert's Rebellion]], Rhaegar and Aerys were killed in the [[Battle of the Trident]] and the [[Sack of King's Landing]], respectively. The loyalist fleet anchored at [[Dragonstone (island)|Dragonstone]] was destroyed by the terrible summer storm which raged during the birth of [[Daenerys Targaryen]].{{ref|AGOT|3}} The new king, [[Robert I Baratheon]], granted Dragonstone to his brother [[Stannis Baratheon|Stannis]], so the Velaryons are now sworn to [[House Baratheon of Dragonstone]].{{ref|ACOK|Prologue}}

'''House Velaryon of Driftmark''' rules the island of [[Driftmark]], the largest island of [[Blackwater Bay]] in the [[crownlands]]. Their castles include [[Driftmark (castle)|Driftmark]] and [[High Tide]].{{ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Jaehaerys I}} The head of House Velaryon is titled [[Lord of the Tides]] and [[Master of Driftmark]].{{Ref|AFFC|Appendix}} The Velaryons are sworn to [[Dragonstone]].{{ref|AGOT|Appendix}} Their arms depict a silver seahorse on sea green.{{ref|aCoK|10}}<ref>Citadel.

House Velaryon is of [[Valyrian Freehold|Valyrian]] descent, and its members often have Valyrian features, such as silver hair, [[purple eyes]], and pale skin.{{Ref|AFFC|12}}

==History==
===Origins===
House Velaryon is an ancient and proud house, with the blood of [[Valyrian Freehold|old Valyria]] in its veins.{{ref|aCoK|10}}{{Ref|aFfC|12}} A noble house with a storied Valyrian lineage, the Velaryons had come to [[Westeros]] even before the [[House Targaryen|Targaryens]], if their family histories can be believed, settling in the [[Gullet]] on the low-lying and fertile isle of [[Driftmark|island of Driftmark]] (so named for the driftwood that the tides brought daily to its shores) rather than its stony, smoking neighbor, [[Dragonstone]].{{ref|fab}} The [[Driftmark (castle)|castle of Driftmark]] housed their ancient high seat, the [[Driftwood Throne]], which according to legend had been given to them by the [[Merling King (god)|Merling King]] to conclude a pact.{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Jaehaerys I}}

Though never dragonriders, the Velaryons had for centuries remained the oldest and closest allies of the Targaryens. The sea was their element, not the sky. During the Conquest, it was Velaryon ships that carried Aegon’s soldiers across Blackwater Bay, and later formed the greater part of the royal fleet. Throughout the first century of Targaryen rule, so many Lords of the Tides served on the small council as master of ships that the office was widely seen as almost hereditary.{{ref|fab}}

Their close proximity to the [[Gullet]] enabled the Velaryons to fill their coffers from trade in the narrow sea and [[Blackwater Bay]]. They allied with House Targaryen from [[Dragonstone]] and [[House Celtigar]] from [[Claw Isle]], both houses of Valyrian descent; While the Velaryons and Celtigars dominated the middle reaches of the narrow sea with their ships, the Targaryens ruled the skies with their [[dragon]]s.{{ref|TWOIAF| The Reign of the Dragons: The Conquest}}

===Aegon's Conquest===
The close relations between Houses Velaryon and Targaryen resulted in multiple marriages between the houses, both before and after the [[Wars of Conquest]]. From one such marriage was born [[Valaena Velaryon]].{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Reign of the Dragons: The Conquest}} She married [[Aerion Targaryen (son of Daemion)|Aerion Targaryen]], the [[Lord of Dragonstone]], with whom she had three children: [[Visenya Targaryen|Visenya]], Lord [[Aegon I Targaryen|Aegon]], and [[Rhaenys Targaryen|Rhaenys]].{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Reign of the Dragons: The Conquest}}

House Velaryon allied with the Targaryens at the start of [[Aegon's Conquest]]. Lord [[Daemon Velaryon (master of ships)|Daemon Velaryon]] was made [[master of ships]] by Aegon the Conqueror after the mouth of the [[Blackwater Rush]] had been secured. Daemon died fighting for Aegon I in the [[battle in the waters off Gulltown]], however.{{ref|twoiaf| The Reign of the Dragons: The Conquest}}

===Early Targaryen reign===
[[File:Even Mehl Amundsen Dragonstone Bannerman.JPG|thumb|350px|A Velaryon bannerman serving at [[Dragonstone]]. Illustrated by Even Mehl Amundsen. © Fantasy Flight Games.]]
House Velaryon kept an influential position at the court of the Targaryen kings during the first two centuries of the Targaryen reign. In {{Date|10}} Ser [[Corlys Velaryon (Kingsguard)|Corlys Velaryon]] became the first [[Lord Commander of the Kingsguard]].{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Aegon I}} Lord [[Aethan Velaryon]] had a Targaryen wife, and became [[master of ships]] for Aegon I.{{Ref|twoiaf| The Targaryen Kings: Aenys I}} He fought against [[Sargoso Saan]], a pirate-lord, in the [[Stepstones]].{{ref|tsotd}} His elder brother, Lord [[Aethan Velaryon]], succeeded his father as the Admiral of the Royal Fleet, and in turn was succeeded by his own son Lord [[Daemon Velaryon (admiral of the king's fleet)|Daemon Velaryon]].{{ref|fab}}

Aethan's daughter, [[Alyssa Velaryon|Alyssa]], was married to Prince [[Aenys I Targaryen|Aenys Targaryen]], heir to the throne, in {{Date|22}}, with whom she had six children ([[Rhaena Targaryen (daughter of Aenys I)|Rhaena]], [[Aegon Targaryen (son of Aenys I)|Aegon]], [[Viserys Targaryen (son of Aenys I)|Viserys]], [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen|Jaehaerys]], [[Alysanne Targaryen|Alysanne]], and [[Vaella Targaryen (daughter of Aenys I)|Vaella]]).{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Aenys I}} Alyssa became queen at her husband's coronation. She outlived Aenys I and became a prisoner of his brother, [[Maegor I Targaryen]], on [[Dragonstone (island)|Dragonstone]], when Maegor claimed the throne over Aenys's sons by Alyssa. In {{date|44}} Alyssa fled in the confusion that followed the death of Dowager Queen [[Visenya Targaryen]]. Her last surviving son by Aenys, [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen|Jaehaerys]], put forward his claim for the throne. Lord [[Daemon Velaryon (admiral of the king's fleet)|Daemon Velaryon]], Maegor's admiral of the fleet, who had previously supported Maegor, turned against the cruel king, and many of the [[great houses]] of Westeros joined with him.{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Maegor I}}

Alyssa's son Jaehaerys became king at the age of fourteen, and Alyssa ruled as his regent, aided by Lord [[Rogar Baratheon]].{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Jaehaerys I}} After Jaehaerys reached the [[age of majority]], the regency ended, and Alyssa married Rogar,{{Ref|twoiaf| The Stormlands: House Baratheon}} giving birth to two more children: [[Boremund Baratheon|Boremund]] and [[Jocelyn Baratheon]].{{Ref|twoiaf| Appendix: Targaryen Lineage}} The Velaryons of the Old King's reign were a house even more influential than [[House Lannister]].{{ref|TWOIAF| The Westerlands: House Lannister Under the Dragons}}

===The Sea Snake===
Rule of [[Driftmark]] was eventually inherited by Lord [[Corlys Velaryon]], also known as the Sea Snake, who rose to fame with his many voyages across the seas of the world. He accumulated so much wealth that House Velaryon became the richest house in the realm, and himself the wealthiest man in the [[Seven Kingdoms]]. Because their ancestral castle, [[Driftmark (castle)|Driftmark]], was damp and crowded, Corlys constructed a new seat for the Velaryons, [[High Tide]].{{ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Jaehaerys I}}

Alyssa's daughter Jocelyn was eventually wed to Alyssa's grandson, Prince [[Aemon Targaryen (son of Jaehaerys I)|Aemon Targaryen]], at the time the heir to the throne. Their child, Princess [[Rhaenys Targaryen (daughter of Aemon)|Rhaenys]], was in turn wed to Lord Corlys, and gave birth to two children by him: [[Laena Velaryon|Laena]] and [[Laenor Velaryon|Laenor]], both of whom became dragonriders. During the [[Great Council]] of {{Date|101}}, Laenor's claim to the throne was presented before the lords of the Seven Kingdoms. Although primogeniture favored him, and his father's wealth, fame and reputation resulted is much support for Laenor, but in the end, he lost to Prince [[Viserys I Targaryen|Viserys Targaryen]],{{ref|twoiaf| The Targaryen Kings: Jaehaerys I}} causing a rift between the Velaryons and the [[Iron Throne]].{{Ref|TRP}} After Queen [[Aemma Arryn]] died, King Viserys I's [[Grand Maester]], [[Runciter]], suggested Corlys's twelve-year-old daughter Laena as a new bride, but House Velaryon was passed over once more. In response, Corlys and his family shunned Viserys's wedding to [[Alicent Hightower]].{{Ref|TRP}}

Corlys eventually befriended Prince [[Daemon Targaryen]], with whom he [[War for the Stepstones|invaded the Stepstones]] in {{Date|106}}. When Daemon's wife, [[Rhea Royce]], died in {{Date|115}}, Corlys happily agreed to wed Laena to Daemon, following the death of Laena's betrothed. Laena's brother, Laenor, had married [[Rhaenyra Targaryen]], the [[Princess of Dragonstone]], the year before. Although that marriage resulted in three sons, it was rumored that all three boys were [[bastard]]s of Ser [[Harwin Strong]], as they looked nothing like Rhaenyra and Laenor.{{Ref|TRP}} Laena gave birth to twin girls for Daemon, but died in childbirth several years later, in early {{Date|120}}. Laenor was killed shortly after by Ser [[Qarl Correy]].{{Ref|TRP}}

===The Dance of the Dragons===
[[File:House Targaryen (Rhaenyra).svg|thumb|[[Rhaenyra Targaryen]] added the Velaryon seahorse and the [[House Arryn|Arryn]] falcon to the [[House Targaryen|Targaryen]] dragon.]]
[[File:Season5Dance of DragonsNewsofdeath.png|thumb|[[Rhaenyra Targaryen]] and her family receive the news of Prince [[Lucerys Velaryon]]'s death at the hands of Prince [[Aemond Targaryen]]. Screencap from ''[[Game of Thrones]]'', Complete Guide to Westeros]]

Corlys and his wife, [[Rhaenys Targaryen (daughter of Aemon)|Rhaenys]], were major supporters of [[Rhaenyra Targaryen]] during the [[Dance of the Dragons]], in which Rhaenyra's half-brother [[Aegon II Targaryen]] claimed the [[Iron Throne]], despite Rhaenyra having been the proclaimed heir of the late King [[Viserys I Targaryen|Viserys I]]. Prince [[Jacaerys Velaryon]] flew to [[Winterfell]] and negotiated the [[Pact of Ice and Fire]].{{ref|TWOIAF| The North: The Lords of Winterfell}} Prince [[Lucerys Velaryon]] traveled as an envoy to [[Storm's End]], where he was killed by Prince [[Aemond Targaryen]],{{ref|TPATQ}} and Corlys grew furious with Rhaenyra when Rhaenys died at [[battle at Rook's Rest|Rook's Rest]]. Lord Velaryon was brought back into the fold by Rhaenyra naming him [[Hand of the King|Hand of the Queen]].{{ref|tpatq}}

When Prince Jacaerys offered the people of [[Dragonstone (island)|Dragonstone]] to attempt and claim a [[dragon]], to increase the number of dragonriders, [[Addam Velaryon|Addam of Hull]] and his brother [[Alyn Velaryon|Alyn]] made their attempt. Addam succeeded in claiming the dragon [[Seasmoke]], who had previously been ridden by Ser [[Laenor Velaryon]]. According to their mother, [[Marilda]], Laenor had fathered the two boys, which many found a dubious claim, as Laenor had preferred men. The court fool [[Mushroom]] suggests that Addam and Alyn had actually been fathered by Corlys, who had kept them far away from his fiery-tempered wife. With his wife now dead, and the paternity of his son Laenor's children in question, Corlys agreed to adopt both boys into House Velaryon, petitioning Rhaenyra to remove the taint of bastardy from them, enabling him to name them his heirs.{{Ref|tpatq}}

Corlys used his fleets to blockade [[Blackwater Bay]]. However, Jacaerys was killed and the blockade was broken in the [[Battle of the Gullet]]. The Velaryons lost nearly a third of their ships and the [[Triarchy]] sacked [[Spicetown]] and [[High Tide]], with Spicetown never rebuilt.{{ref|tpatq}}

When Rhaenyra became paranoid following [[Two Betrayers|the betrayal of the new dragonriders]] later on in the war, she ordered Addam's arrest. Corlys objected, and when ignored, warned Addam, allowing him to flee [[King's Landing]]. Addam later fought at the [[Second Battle of Tumbleton]], proving his loyalty to Rhaenyra by defeating her foes at the cost of his own life.

However, he refused to accept the execution of Rhaenyra's surviving son, Prince [[Aegon III Targaryen|Aegon the Younger]], and insisted the boy should be betrothed to Aegon II's only remaining child, Princess [[Jaehaera Targaryen|Jaehaera]], as a requirement for his support.<ref>asoiaf.westeros.org: [http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?/topic/139166-aegon-ii-and-aegon-iii/&do=findComment&comment=7552930 Aegon II and Aegon III (April 23) - post 1]</ref> Corlys served on Aegon II's [[small council]] until the king's death.{{ref|twoiaf| The Targaryen Kings: Aegon II}} Corlys acted quickly by sending envoys to Aegon II's main supporters, but was arrested on the charge of poisoning Aegon II by Lord [[Cregan Stark]]. He was freed by his granddaughters and Lady [[Alysanne Blackwood]], however, and served the new king as a [[regent]] until his death in {{Date|132}}.{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Aegon III}}

===The Oakenfist===
Following the death of his first wife, [[Jaehaera Targaryen]], King [[Aegon III Targaryen]] married Lady [[Daenaera Velaryon]], the daughter of [[Daeron Velaryon]], a cousin to Lord [[Alyn Velaryon]]. Daenaera gave birth to five children: [[Daeron I Targaryen|Daeron]], [[Baelor I Targaryen|Baelor]], [[Daena Targaryen|Daena]], [[Rhaena Targaryen (daughter of Aegon III)|Rhaena]], and [[Elaena Targaryen|Elaena]]. Although both of her sons would rule as kings, both died childless. Through her daughter Daena, however, Daenaera is an ancestor of [[House Blackfyre]].

Alyn Velaryon, formerly Alyn of Hull, became of Lord of Driftmark upon the death of Corlys the Sea Snake. During the [[regency of Aegon III]], Alyn was the greatest rival to Lord [[Unwin Peake]], then Hand of the King. Alyn was refused his grandfather's place as regent for the young king, and then was made to sail against the Stepstones, where he won a great victory at sea and earned the name Oakenfist. Alyn was later dispatched to the [[westerlands]] to defeat [[Dalton Greyjoy]], the Red Kraken. Lord Unwin had hoped that Alyn would fail, but instead, this expedition became the first of Alyn's six great voyages.{{ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Aegon III}} Alyn later played an important role in the return of Aegon III's brother, [[Viserys II Targaryen|Viserys]], having negotiated his release from captivity in [[Lys]].{{ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Aegon III}}

In {{date|157}}, Alyn Oakenfist took a decisive part in King [[Daeron I Targaryen]]'s [[conquest of Dorne]] as [[master of ships]].{{ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Daeron I}} He commanded a fleet that broke the [[Planky Town]], and swept halfway up the [[Greenblood]] river while the main Dornish strength was engaged with Daeron in the [[Prince's Pass]].{{ref|adwd|17}} Alyn returned to subdue the Planky Town and the Greenblood in {{Date|160}} after the [[Dornishmen]] rebelled.{{ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Daeron I}}

Alyn had an unknown number of children with his wife, Lady [[Baela Targaryen]], the eldest daughter of Prince [[Daemon Targaryen]] and Lady [[Laena Velaryon]].{{Ref|TWOIAF| Appendix: Targaryen Lineage}} Although he was married, he loved the Princess [[Elaena Targaryen]],{{Ref|AFFC|8}} and had two bastards by her, the twins [[Jon Waters|Jon]] and [[Jeyne Waters]].{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Baelor I}}<ref>[[So Spake Martin]]: [http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/Three_Maidens_in_the_Tower/ Three Maidens in a Tower], June 27, 2006</ref> Elaena hoped to marry Alyn, but he disappeared at sea.{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Baelor I}} Their son Jon earned knighthood, married, and had a son of his own who began [[House Longwaters]].{{ref|AFFC|8}}

===Robert's Rebellion===
The Velaryons frequently served as [[master of ships]]—so often that at times the office had seemed hereditary—and provided much of the [[Iron Throne]]'s [[royal fleet]].{{ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Jaehaerys I}} [[Lucerys Velaryon (master of ships)|Lucerys Velaryon]] served as master of ships for King [[Aerys II Targaryen]], being one of the king's bigger supporters against his son [[Rhaegar Targaryen|Rhaegar]], the [[Prince of Dragonstone]].{{ref|TWOIAF| The Fall of the Dragons: The Year of the False Spring}}

During [[Robert's Rebellion]], Rhaegar and Aerys were killed in the [[Battle of the Trident]] and the [[Sack of King's Landing]], respectively. The loyalist fleet anchored at [[Dragonstone (island)|Dragonstone]] was destroyed by the terrible summer storm which raged during the birth of [[Daenerys Targaryen]].{{ref|AGOT|3}} The new king, [[Robert I Baratheon]], granted Dragonstone to his brother [[Stannis Baratheon|Stannis]], so the Velaryons are now sworn to [[House Baratheon of Dragonstone]].{{ref|ACOK|Prologue}}

'''House Reyne of Castamere''' was a noble house from [[Castamere]] in the [[westerlands]].

Heraldry: [http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/Heraldry/Houses/6/ Houses in the Westerlands]</ref>{{ref|twoiaf| The Westerlands}}

==History==
===Age of Heroes===
House Reyne was a family of [[First Men]] who made their subterranean seat at [[Castamere]]. The mine's silver and gold made them wealthy, much like the [[House Lannister|Lannisters]] of [[Casterly Rock]]. The Reynes joined the [[Kingdom of the Rock]] when King [[Loreon I Lannister]] wed a Reyne daughter.{{ref|TWOIAF| The Westerlands}}

===Targaryen Era===
During the civil war known as the [[Dance of the Dragons]], the Reynes sided with the [[greens]]. Lord Reyne was killed during the [[Battle by the Lakeshore]] in {{Date|130}}.{{ref|tpatq}}

During the [[First Blackfyre Rebellion]], Ser [[Robb Reyne]] sided with [[Daemon I Blackfyre]]. Robb was considered one of the finest [[knight]]s of his age.{{ref|tss}}

===The Rains of Castamere===
:{{main|Reyne-Tarbeck rebellion}}
The downfall of the house had its origins in the time of Lord [[Robert Reyne]]. He arranged the betrothal of his daughter [[Ellyn Reyne|Ellyn]] to [[Tywald Lannister]], the son and heir of Lord [[Gerold Lannister]]. Tywald served Robert as a squire during the [[Peake Uprising]], but Robert and Tywald were killed in battle at [[Starpike]] in {{Date|233}}.{{ref|twoiaf}} Lady Ellyn, who had long anticipated becoming the Lady of [[Casterly Rock]], was unwilling to forsake that dream. She persuaded Tywald's twin, [[Tion Lannister|Tion]], to set aside his own fiancé and espouse her instead. During this time, Lady Ellyn held a splendid court at the Rock, staging magnificent tourneys and balls and filling the Rock with musicians, mummers and Reynes. She bestowed honors, offices and lands on her brothers, [[Roger Reyne|Roger]] and [[Reynard Reyne|Reynard]], and other relatives. An acerbic hunchback, [[Lord Toad]], was heard saying, "Lady Ellyn must be a sorceress, for she has made it rain inside the Rock all year".{{ref|TWOIAF| The Westerlands: House Lannister Under the Dragons}}

The death of Ser Tion Lannister in the [[Fourth Blackfyre Rebellion]] roused his father Gerold, who took firm control over the [[westerlands]]. The "Reign of the Reynes" was over. In {{Date|239}} Ellyn was accused of trying to bed the third son of Lord Gerold, [[Tytos Lannister]], which resulted in her removal from Casterly Rock and marriage to Lord [[Walderan Tarbeck]].{{ref|TWOIAF| The Westerlands: House Lannister Under the Dragons}}

Roger Reyne, who succeeded Robert, was the Lord of [[Castamere]] during the rule of Gerold's successor, Lord [[Tytos Lannister]]. The Reynes had prospered greatly under Tytos's misrule. Both Roger and Ser Reynard extracted large amounts of gold from Tytos. After the [[War of the Ninepenny Kings]], Tytos's son and heir, Ser [[Tywin Lannister]], demanded repayment of the gold that was lent out, but Roger reportedly laughed and told his vassals to do nothing. This eventually led Tywin to summon the Reynes and the Tarbecks to answer for their crimes. They chose defiance instead and with it, started the [[Reyne-Tarbeck rebellion]] against their [[House Lannister|Lannister]] overlords.

[[Tarbeck Hall]] was the first to feel Tywin's wrath and [[House Tarbeck]] was exterminated, including Ellyn. After an unsuccessful battle against the Lannister host led by Tywin, Ser Reynard and the wounded Lord Roger took refuge in the mines underneath Castamere. Reynard, once his folk were safe, offered terms to Tywin. Instead Tywin ordered the sealing of Castamere's entrances and the diverting of nearby water into the mine, causing the deaths of all within.{{ref|twoiaf|The Westerlands}}

The downfall of the Reynes is popularized in "[[The Rains of Castamere]]", a song which Tywin Lannister sometimes uses for intimidation.{{ref|ASOS|19}}{{ref|ASOS|39}}

'''House Lannister of Casterly Rock''' is one of the [[Great Houses]] of [[Seven Kingdoms]], and the principal house of the [[westerlands]]. Their seat is [[Casterly Rock]], though [[House Lannister of Lannisport|another branch]] exists that is based in nearby [[Lannisport]]. Their sigil is a golden lion on a field of crimson.{{Ref|aGoT|5}} Their official motto is "Hear Me Roar!" However, their unofficial motto, equally well known, is "A Lannister always pays his debts."{{Ref|aGoT|56}}{{Ref|aGoT|42}} The [[Warden of the West]] is a Lannister by tradition.

Fair-haired, tall, and handsome, the Lannisters are the blood of [[Andals|Andal]] adventurers who carved out a mighty kingdom in the western hills and valleys. Through the female line they boast of descent from [[Lann the Clever]], the legendary trickster of the [[Age of Heroes]] who tricked the members of [[House Casterly]] into giving him [[Casterly Rock]]{{Ref|aGoT|27}} during the era of the [[First Men]].{{ref|TWOIAF| The Westerlands}} The Lannisters reigned as [[King of the Rock|Kings of the Rock]] until the [[Aegon's Conquest|Targaryen conquest]], when they were defeated at the [[Field of Fire]]. Though King [[Loren I Lannister]] escaped, he was captured the next day by Targaryen forces. His surrender to [[Aegon I Targaryen|Aegon the Conqueror]] convinced Aegon to allow the Lannisters to remain the liege lords of the westerlands.

The current [[Lord of Casterly Rock]] is [[Tywin Lannister]], whose daughter [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei]] is the queen of King [[Robert I Baratheon]], while her twin, Ser [[Jaime Lannister|Jaime]], is a [[knight]] of Robert's [[Kingsguard]]. Tywin's youngest child is [[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion]], a [[dwarf]]. Members of the family tend to have golden hair and emerald green eyes.{{ref|ACOK|2}}

==History==
===First Men Kings===
The Lannisters suddenly appear as [[First Men]] in historical records of the [[Age of Heroes]], ruling large portions of the westerlands from Casterly Rock just as the [[House Casterly|Casterlys]] vanished from the chronicles. They claim descent from [[Lann the Clever]], the legendary figure who tricked the Casterlys from their seat, [[Casterly Rock]].{{ref|TWOIAF| The Westerlands}}

According to a semi-canon source, members of lesser branches of the family left Casterly Rock and developed a nearby village into the city of [[Lannisport]], forming [[House Lannister of Lannisport]]. Meanwhile, the Lannisters of Casterly Rock grew to become [[Kings of the Rock]].<ref name=sample>georgerrmartin.com: [http://www.georgerrmartin.com/world-of-ice-and-fire-sample/ WORLD OF ICE AND FIRE SAMPLE]</ref> The first known King of the Rock was [[Loreon I Lannister]], although Lann the Clever has posthumously been called by the same title.{{ref|TWOIAF| The Westerlands}}

===Andal Kings===
During the [[Andal invasion]] of [[Westeros]], House Lannister initially fought the invading Andal warlords and adventurers that ventured into the westerlands but then took a policy of arranging marriages between them and the daughters of the local [[First Men]] houses. They also took Andal sons and daughters as wards and fosterlings at Casterly Rock to prevent betrayals such as those that had happened in the [[Vale of Arryn|Vale]]. In time, the Lannister kings also wed their children to Andals, and when King [[Gerold III Lannister|Gerold III]] died without male issue, a council crowned the Andal husband of Gerold's only daughter, Ser [[Joffrey Lannister|Joffrey Lydden]], who took the Lannister name. Thus the Lannisters became an Andal house, though their First Men name lived on.{{ref|TWOIAF| The Westerlands}}

The gold of Casterly Rock, [[Castamere]], the [[Pendric Hills]] and the [[Golden Tooth]] has made them the wealthiest of the Great Houses. The keep at Casterly Rock sits on top of a gold mine, built into the very rock. From that lofty yet uncomfortable position, House Lannister rules over the westerlands and influences all of Westeros, by virtue of the kingdom's purse strings.

House Lannister possessed an ancestral [[Valyrian steel]] greatsword called [[Brightroar]], but it was lost when King [[Tommen II Lannister]] went on a quest to [[Valyria]] and never returned.{{ref|aSoS|32}} The Lannisters have been looking for a replacement ever since, though they have not stopped looking for their own lost ancestral sword.{{Ref|aSoS|32}}

[[Hagon Hoare]], [[King of the Iron Islands]], allowed his mother, the dowager queen [[Lelia Lannister]], to be mutilated by the [[Shrike]]. Her nephew, the King of the Rock, began a war which left the [[Iron Islands]] impoverished.{{ref|TWOIAF| The Iron Islands: The Black Blood}}

===Targaryen Era===
When the [[Wars of Conquest]] began and [[Aegon I Targaryen|Aegon the Conqueror]] swept through the land, [[Loren I Lannister|Loren I]], King of the Rock, sided with [[Mern IX Gardener]], [[King of the Reach]], against the [[House Targaryen|Targaryens]]. The two armies met in the Reach, where the combined might of the Reach and the Rock broke Aegon's army. Their army, dubbed by historians 'The Host of the Two Kings', numbered fifty-five thousand men; five thousand of them mounted knights, while the Targaryens had only ten thousand men, many of uncertain loyalty and reliability. With their smaller force severely weakened and in danger of routing, Aegon and his sisters deployed all three dragons at once; the only time this happened during [[Aegon's Conquest]]. Their combined fires scoured the battlefield, immolating more than four thousand men (including King Mern and his heirs) and giving the battle its name: The [[Field of Fire]].{{Ref|aGoT|13}} After he was captured, King Loren the Last bent the knee and was allowed to remain Lord of Casterly Rock and became the first [[Warden of the West]].{{ref|TWOIAF| The Reign of the Dragons: The Conquest}}

The Lannisters were also involved in the Targaryen civil war, the [[Dance of the Dragons]]. It was a contest of claims between [[Viserys I Targaryen]]'s issue, [[Rhaenyra Targaryen]], by his first wife [[Aemma Arryn|Aemma]] of [[House Arryn]] and his issue, [[Aegon II Targaryen]] by his second wife [[Alicent Hightower|Alicent]] of [[House Hightower]]. The head of House Lannister at that time, Lord [[Jason Lannister]], supported the [[greens]], along with his brother Ser [[Tyland Lannister]], the [[master of ships]] and a member of the [[small council]] during the reign of [[Viserys I Targaryen]]. Tyland was named [[master of coin]] at the start of the Dance, and he seized the royal treasury and divided crown's gold into four parts. One part was entrusted to the care of the [[Iron Bank of Braavos]] for safekeeping, another sent under strong guard to Casterly Rock and a third to [[Oldtown]]. The remaining wealth was used by the greens for bribes and gifts and hiring [[sellsword]]s. Lord Jason was killed in the [[Battle at the Red Fork]], leaving Casterly Rock in disarray. The Lannister host under Lord [[House Lefford|Lefford]] was then shattered in the [[Battle by the Lakeshore]], the bloodiest battle of the war. After the [[fall of King's Landing]], Tyland was given to torturers in the hopes of recovering some of the crown's treasure.{{Ref|tpatq}}{{ref|TWOIAF| The Westerlands: House Lannister Under the Dragons}}

Several decades later, during the [[First Blackfyre Rebellion]], Lord [[Damon Lannister (lord)|Damon Lannister]] remained loyal to the Targaryens. The great rebel general Ser [[Quentyn Ball]] defeated him outside the gates of Lannisport. Damon and his heir Ser [[Tybolt Lannister|Tybolt]] participated in the [[tourney at Ashford Meadow]]. Damon was defeated in the first tilt by Lord [[Leo Tyrell (Longthorn)|Leo "Longthorn" Tyrell]], while his son defeated his opponent to become a champion. Tybolt inherited the lordship from Damon when the latter died of the [[Great Spring Sickness]]. [[Gerold Lannister]] was a suitor to Lady [[Rohanne Webber]] but much preferred to remain at Casterly Rock with his brother Tybolt. When Lord [[Dagon Greyjoy]] raided the western coast during the early reign of [[Aerys I Targaryen]], House Lannister built ships to fight him at sea.

===Tywin Lannister===
[[File:Nachomolina_Tywin_Lannister.jpg‎‎|300px|thumb|[[Tywin Lannister]], by Nacho Molina ©]]
In more recent times, during the lordship of [[Tytos Lannister]], the house fell on hard times. Tytos's weakness allowed him to be bullied by his vassals, Houses [[House Reyne|Reyne]] and [[House Tarbeck|Tarbeck]]. Eventually his son [[Tywin Lannister|Tywin]] crushed the [[Reyne-Tarbeck revolt]] and restored the house to its former glory. Soon thereafter, Tywin was made [[Hand of the King]] by [[Aerys II Targaryen]], holding that position for many years. When Aerys was [[Defiance of Duskendale|held hostage]] by [[Denys Darklyn]], Tywin's conservative approach took six months to resolve the conflict. This instigated Aerys's paranoia and drove a wedge between the two, along with the king's lusting after [[Joanna Lannister]], Tywin's wife, cousin, and trusted confidante.

Despite Tywin's attempts to ensure a strong legacy, life at Casterly Rock was dysfunctional at best. His twin children, [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei]] and [[Jaime Lannister|Jaime]], began an incestuous relationship at an early age. Tywin was never a jovial man, but when Joanna died birthing their third child, [[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion]], he was much saddened. His brother, [[Kevan Lannister|Kevan]], became his right hand and their sister, [[Genna Lannister|Genna]], took a maternal role over the children. His second brother, [[Tygett Lannister|Tygett]], died of a pox, and their youngest brother, [[Gerion Lannister|Gerion]], sailed off on a journey to [[Valyria]], never to be seen again.

Cersei, while a young maid, visited a [[maegi|woods witch]] called [[Maggy the Frog]], who shared portents of Cersei's future that planted seeds of her paranoia. Cersei possibly murdered her friend [[Melara Hetherspoon]], who had witnessed the prophecy. Tyrion, when thirteen years old, was out with Jaime when he met and married a girl named [[Tysha]], a match which was quickly and savagely ended by their father. Tywin offered Tyrion to Houses [[House Martell|Martell]], [[House Hightower|Hightower]], [[House Royce|Royce]], [[House Florent|Florent]] and [[House Tully|Tully]], but he was rejected by all. Jaime was a promising young knight, dubbed by Ser [[Arthur Dayne]]. Tywin was devastated when Jaime joined King Aery's [[Kingsguard]], breaking off a betrothal to [[Lysa Arryn|Lysa Tully]]. Upon this action (which he perceived as Aerys "stealing" his heir), coupled with the Mad King's refusal to wed Prince [[Rhaegar Targaryen]] to Cersei, Tywin resigned the Handship. This flew in the face of Jaime's plan, which was to be closer to Cersei: he was kept in King's Landing while Cersei returned to Casterly Rock.

===Robert's Rebellion===
The Lannisters stayed neutral for the majority of [[Robert's Rebellion]]. Only after the defeat of Prince [[Rhaegar Targaryen]] in the [[Battle of the Trident]] did Lord [[Tywin Lannister]] bestir himself to join Lord [[Robert I Baratheon|Robert Baratheon]] against [[House Targaryen]]. Although Lord [[Varys]] objected, Grand Maester [[Pycelle]], a Lannister loyalist, convinced King [[Aerys II Targaryen]] to open the capital's gates. During the [[Sack of King's Landing]], Ser Jaime Lannister, still a Kingsguard, slew Aerys, the last crowned Targaryen king. Meanwhile, Ser [[Gregor Clegane]] and Ser [[Amory Lorch]], two of Tywin's knights, killed Rhaegar's family{{ref|ASOS|53}} to prove House Lannister's commitment to Robert's cause.{{Ref|aGoT|12}}

Afterwards, Tywin's daughter Cersei was wed to the new king, Robert I. [[Tya Lannister]] had been the last Lannister to marry a member of [[House Baratheon]], [[Gowen Baratheon]], before the marriage of Robert and Cersei.{{ref|AGOT|45}}

===Baratheon Era===
The royal marriage and the increasing amount of gold [[Robert I Baratheon]] owes to Lord [[Tywin Lannister]] have only increased Lannister power.{{ref|AGOT|20}} Much of Tywin's energy is directed inward, ensuring all of his relatives do their part to uphold the family name.{{ref|ASOS|4}}

On behalf of [[Balon Greyjoy]], [[Lord of the Iron Islands]], [[Euron Greyjoy|Euron]] and [[Victarion Greyjoy]] began [[Greyjoy's Rebellion]] with the [[burning of the Lannister fleet]].{{ref|AFFC|18}} Tywin joined Robert and Lord [[Eddard Stark]] in invading the [[Iron Islands]], however, and the rebellion was defeated.{{ref|TWOIAF| The Iron Islands: The Old Way and the New}}

Tywin attended the [[tourney on Prince Joffrey's name day]] in King's Landing. Queen [[Cersei Lannister]] and her children accompanied Tywin during his return to Casterly Rock; en route they were informed of the death of [[Jon Arryn]], Robert's [[Hand of the King]].{{ref|AGOT|25}}

===''A Clash of Kings''===
[[File:T Jedruszek Tywins host.jpg|thumb|350px|Lord [[Tywin Lannister|Tywin's]] Host by Tomasz Jedruszek © Fantasy Flight Games]]
[[Robert I Baratheon]]'s brothers, [[Stannis Baratheon|Stannis]] and [[Renly Baratheon|Renly]], each contest [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey I Baratheon's]] right to the [[Iron Throne]], while [[Robb Stark]] has been named [[King in the North]] and [[King of the Trident]]. The conflict becomes known as the [[War of the Five Kings]]. Lord [[Tywin Lannister]] encamps at [[Harrenhal]] so that he can defend [[King's Landing]] from attack.{{ref|ACOK|20}} Ser [[Stafford Lannister]] begins to train another Lannister army in the [[westerlands]].{{ref|ACOK|7}} Tywin forbade [[Tyrion Lannister]] from bringing a [[prostitute]], [[Shae]], to the capital, but Tyrion brings her anyway.{{ref|ACOK|3}}

Tyrion, as acting [[Hand of the King]], and Cersei, as Joffrey's [[regent]], compete for influence in King's Landing,{{ref|ACOK|2}} with Tyrion constantly outmaneuvering her. Desperate for allies, Tyrion makes moves to ally with [[House Martell]]. Part of this involves betrothing Joffrey's sister, Princess [[Myrcella Baratheon]], to Prince [[Trystane Martell]]. After her ship leaves port, the royal party is caught up in the [[riot of King's Landing]] provoked by King Joffrey.{{ref|ACOK|41}} [[Tyrek Lannister]] has wed to [[Ermesande Hayford]] so that the Lannisters can claim [[House Hayford|her lands]],{{ref|ACOK|2}}{{ref|ACOK|25}} but Tyrek disappears during the riot.{{ref|ACOK|41}}

Tywin is close enough to King's Landing to defend the city when he hears of Stannis's impending attack. Due to Tywin's presence, Tyrion's defensive preparations, and a new alliance with [[House Tyrell]] negotiated by Lord [[Petyr Baelish]], the Lannisters are able to defeat Stannis in the [[Battle of the Blackwater]],{{ref|ACOK|62}}{{ref|ACOK|65}} despite nearly suffering a rout of the [[gold cloaks]] when Cersei withdraws King Joffrey from the city walls.{{ref|ACOK|60}} [[Podrick Payne]] saves Tyrion from Ser [[Mandon Moore]] during the battle.{{ref|ACOK|61}}

Following the Blackwater, most of Stannis's bannermen declare for Joffrey, and Lord Tywin takes up rule as Hand in his own right. A wounded Lancel receives [[Darry]], forming [[House Lannister of Darry]].{{ref|ACOK|65}}

Lord '''Theomore Manderly''' was a head of [[House Manderly]]. He had at least three sons, several daughters, nieces and nephews. According to Queen [[Alysanne Targaryen]], he had a famously large family.

==History==
When Queen [[Alysanne Targaryen|Alysanne]] visited [[White Harbor]] during a royal progress, Lord Theomore entertained the queen lavishly. At the welcoming feast an entire aurochs was roasted, and his lordship’s daughter [[Jessamyn Manderly|Jessamyn]] acted as the queen’s cupbearer. Lord Theomore also staged a small tourney in the queen’s honor, to show the prowess of his knights.

During her visit, Queen Alysanne hosted a woman's court in Lord Manderly's own hall, something previously unheard of in the [[North]].

When the Queen left White Harbor, two of her ladies-in-waiting had been betrothed to his Lord Theomore's younger sons and a third to a nephew; his eldest daughter and three nieces, meanwhile, had been added to the queen’s own party, with the understanding that they would travel south with her and there be pledged to suitable lords and knights of the king’s court.

'''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 emigrated from the [[Reach]] after the [[Andal invasion]].

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. [[House Manderly guards|Manderly guards]] wield tridents instead of spears.{{ref|ADWD|19}}

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 knight]]s.{{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| The Reach: Andals in the Reach}}

During the reign of the [[House Gardener|Gardener kings]] in the Reach, King [[Gwayne III Gardener]] persuaded Lords Manderly and Peake to accept his judgment on their quarrel and do fealty for their lands, without any bloodshed.{{ref|twoiaf| The Reach: The Gardener Kings}} Like other houses of the Reach, the Manderlys presumably converted from the [[old gods]] of the First Men to the [[Faith of the Seven]] after the Gardeners welcomed [[Andals]] into their kingdom.{{ref|TWOIAF| The Reach: Andals in the Reach}}

Near the end of the long reign of King [[Garth X Gardener]], a problem arose with the succession as the elderly and senile Garth had sired no sons and only daughters, one of whom had married Lord Manderly, and another to Lord Peake. Both lords were determined that their own wife should succeed to the throne, and the rivalry between them was marked by betrayal, conspiracy and murder, and finally escalated into open war with other lords joining the cause on both sides. The anarchy that followed lasted almost a decade 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. Osmund then placed a distant cousin of the late Garth X on the throne as King [[Mern VI Gardener]].{{ref|TWOIAF| The Reach: Andals in the Reach}}

===Exile and White Harbor===
At some point, House Manderly overreached itself, and was driven from the Reach by the [[House Gardener|Gardener Kings]].{{Ref|ADWD|9}}{{Ref|TSS}}{{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| The North: The Kings of Winter}} This allowed House Peake to acquire the Manderlys' seat of Dunstonbury.{{ref|twoiaf| The North: The Kings of Winter}} The Manderly's were left sore, friendless and in peril of their lives. They fled north, and were welcomed by the [[House Stark|Starks]] of [[Winterfell]] as their own bannermen.{{Ref|ADWD|19}} 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}}

When exactly House Manderly came north is unknown. In {{Date|211}}, Lady [[Rohanne Webber]] dated the flight of the Manderly's as having occured "a thousand years" ago.{{ref|tss}} Lord [[Godric Borrell]] defines the time period to "no more than nine hundred years" before {{Date|300}}.{{Ref|ADWD|9}} However, both [[Wylla Manderly]], as well as [[maester]] [[Yandel]] date the arrival of the Manderlys in the north back a bit further, "a thousand years before [[Aegon's Conquest|the Conquest]]"{{Ref|ADWD|19}} and "some thousand years before the Conquest",{{Ref|TWOIAF| The North: The Kings of Winter}} respectively. A semi-canon source lists "a thousand years before the Conquest" as well.{{Ref|AWOIAF| White Harbor}} These accounts thus place the arrival of the Manderly's in the north between 1000 BC and 600 BC.

House Manderly built the city of [[White Harbor]] with the wealth they had brought from the Reach.{{Ref|ADWD|19}} They further 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.{{ref|TWOIAF| The North: The Kings of Winter}} Until the construction of [[King's Landing]] during [[Aegon's Conquest]] (by then still known as the [[Aegonfort]], White Harbor was also the newest city of the Seven Kingdoms.{{Ref|TWOIAF| The North: The Kings of Winter}} The [[New Castle]], built to replace the aging Wolf's Den, resembles their previous castle Dunstonbury in the Reach.{{ref|TWOIAF| The North: The Kings of Winter}} 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. However, she died after falling from a horse while racing drunkenly through the streets of King's Landing.{{ref|twoiaf| The Targaryen Kings: Jaehaerys I}} 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| Appendix: Stark Lineage}}

House Manderly supported [[Rhaenys Targaryen (daughter of Aemon)|Rhaenys Targaryen]] in the [[Great Council of 101 AC]] 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 [[Regency of Aegon III|the regency]] and dismissed Lord Manderly, his [[Hand of the King]].{{ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Aegon III}}

===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 Stark|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 on the Green Fork]].

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. However, 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 (forest)|Hornwood forests]]. News reaches Winterfell via Rodrik, but he does not have the manpower to stop them.{{ref|ACOK|35}}

In the south, Wendel accompanies Lady [[Catelyn Stark]] to negotiate with Kings [[Renly Baratheon|Renly]] and [[Stannis Baratheon]], bearing the Stark banner at the parley before [[siege of Storm's End (299)|Storm's End]]. Meanwhile, Wylis has been held prisoner at [[Harrenhal]], where he frequents the kitchens. Wylis is one of the northmen [[Tyrion Lannister]] is willing to trade for his cousins captured at the [[battle in the Whispering Wood]].{{ref|ACOK|25}} Wylis is ultimately freed when Roose Bolton [[Fall 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.{{ref|ACOK|56}} During his parley with Rodrik 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 [[fighting at the fords of the Trident|attack]] the army as they cross the [[ruby ford]] of the [[Trident]], with Lord Bolton unable to prevent the Mountain from destroying his rearguard.{{ref|ASOS|49}} Wylis is returned to captivity at Harrenhal.{{ref|AFFC|27}} At the Twins, Wendel dies at the [[Red Wedding]], with an arrow going into his open mouth.{{ref|ASOS|51}}

Maester [[Aemon Targaryen (son of Maekar I)|Aemon]] sends a raven to White Harbor in a plea for help from the Manderlys to defend [[Castle Black]] from the [[Attack on Castle Black|wildlings]].{{Ref|asos|55}}

===''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 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, Ser [[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|Wylla]], Wyman denounces Davos in front of three Frey envoys—[[Jared Frey|Jared]], [[Rhaegar Frey|Rhaegar]], and [[Symond Frey|Symond]]—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]] release 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 hundred 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]] implied to be made from the Frey envoys who disappeared after leaving White Harbor.{{ref|ADWD|32}}{{ref|ADWD|37}}

While quartered in Winterfell, there is tension within the garrison between the Manderlys and Freys. When Wyman japes about the death of [[Walder Frey (son of Merrett)|Little Walder Frey]], it boils over into bloodshed, with 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 [[march on Winterfell|approaching Winterfell]].{{ref|ADWD|51}}
