House Cuy of Sunhouse is a noble house from Sunhouse in the Reach, sworn to the Hightowers. Sunhouse is located by the town Cuy, along the coast southeast of Oldtown.[2]
Neither their arms or their words appear in the text. According to semi-canon sources they blazon their shield as six yellow flowers on blue.[3]
The Appendix for A Feast for Crows lists Branston Cuy with the title Lord of Sunflower Hall,[1][4] but it has been confirmed that Sunhouse is the correct name for House Cuy's seat.[5]
History
The Cuys trace their ancestry back to Andal adventurers given lands and wives by the Three Sage Kings of House Gardener during the coming of the Andals to the Reach.[6]
Ser Duncan the Tall spotted a blue pavilion covered with sunflowers, possibly a use of the colors and sigil of House Cuy, while attending the wedding tourney at Whitewalls.[7]
