==History==
===Kingdom of the Rock===

According to a semi-canon source, a lesser branch of [[House Lannister]] of [[Casterly Rock]] developed a village a mile from [[Casterly Rock]] into first a town and then a city,<ref name=sample/> as the fertile vicinity has a natural harbor with abundant fish. While the [[House Lannister of Lannisport|Lannisters of Lannisport]] fortified the city, the Lannisters of Casterly Rock became the [[Kings of the Rock]]. By the time of the [[coming of the Andals]], the only city in [[Westeros]] larger than Lannisport was [[Oldtown]]. It is said that King [[Loreon V Lannister]], nicknamed Queen Lorea, disguised himself as a whore and wandered the docks of the city.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Westerlands}} [[Roland I Arryn]] visited Lannisport in his youth before becoming [[King of Mountain and Vale]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Vale: The Eyrie}}
