King of Yronwood was a title used by monarchs from House Yronwood of Yronwood in Dorne.[1]

History

Ruling from Yronwood in the southeastern Red Mountains, the Kings of Yronwood once controlled half of Dorne.[1] Their last king was Yorick V Yronwood, whose vassals included, among others, the Blackmonts of Blackmont, the Jordaynes of the Tor, the Qorgyles of Sandstone, and the Wyls of Wyl.[2] The Yronwoods were defeated by House Martell during Nymeria's War, however, with Yorick forced to join the Night's Watch.[3]

Quotes

Before Nymeria came, the Kings of Yronwood were the most powerful house in all of Dorne—far greater than the Martells of the time. They ruled half of Dorne—a fact that, to this day, the Yronwoods let no one forget.[1]
