Editing House Royce (section)

===Bronze Kings===
Calling themselves the [[Bronze King]]s and wearing the [[Runic Crown]], the Royce of [[Runestone]] were the most powerful [[First Men]] monarchs of the [[Vale of Arryn (valley)|Vale]] in antiquity. Their rivals included [[House Shett]] of [[Gulltown]], who carried the title [[King of the True Men]] and likewise claimed to date back ten thousand years to the [[Dawn Age]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Vale}}

After King [[Yorwyck VI Royce]] defeated the Shetts in several battles, King [[Osgood III Shett]] allied himself with Ser [[Gerold Grafton (king)|Gerold Grafton]], an [[Andal]] warlord from [[Andalos]] across the [[narrow sea]]. Although they defeated the Bronze King, the death of Osgood in battle led [[House Grafton]] to claim Gulltown for themselves. Yorwyck later repelled several other Andal attacks.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Vale}}
