Editing House Ball (section)

==History==
===Origins===
House Ball is an ancient house of [[First Men]] origin that can trace its lineage back to the [[Age of Heroes]]. According to legend, they descend from one of the three husbands of [[Florys the Fox]], a daughter of [[Garth Greenhand]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Reach: Garth Greenhand}}

===Targaryen dynasty===
Lady [[Rosamund Ball]] was selected as a [[lady-in-waiting]] for Queen [[Alysanne Targaryen]]. She died defending the queen from an assassination attempt at [[Maidenpool]] in {{Date|55}}.{{Ref|FAB|Birth, Death, and Betrayal Under King Jaehaerys I}}

===Blackfyre Rebellions===
Ser [[Quentyn Ball]], better known as Fireball, was the master-at-arms at the [[Red Keep]] during the reign of King [[Aegon IV Targaryen]]. Aegon promised to name Quentyn to the [[Kingsguard]], but he died before he could fulfill that promise. When a spot opened during the reign of his son, King [[Daeron II Targaryen]], Quentyn was passed over. This was the major contributing factor to Quentyn siding with [[Daemon I Blackfyre|Daemon Blackfyre]] during the [[First Blackfyre Rebellion]].

Quentyn slew Lord [[House Lefford|Lefford]] outside of [[Lannisport]] and then defeated Lord [[Damon Lannister (Lord)|Damon Lannister]] in turn. Fireball rescued Daemon when Daeron sent the Kingsguard to arrest him. Quentyn slew all the sons of Lady [[House Penrose|Penrose]] save for the youngest, sparing him out of respect for his mother. Fireball died on the eve of the [[Battle of the Redgrass Field]].{{Ref|TSS}}
