Editing House Florent (section)

===Targaryen dynasty===

During [[Aegon's Conquest]], House Florent followed their liege, King [[Mern IX Gardener]], in taking up arms against [[Aegon I Targaryen|Aegon the Conqueror]] during the [[Field of Fire]]. After the battle, when King Mern and his sons burned and the Gardeners' line ended, Aegon named the [[House Tyrell|Tyrells]] as [[Lord Paramount of the Reach]], despite the Florents possessing a superior claim by their blood ties to the [[Kings of the Reach]].{{Ref|ASOS|Appendix}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Reach: House Tyrell}} House Florent was among the great houses of the [[Reach]] who bitterly complained about being made vassals of the Tyrells and insisted that their blood was nobler than that of the "upjumped stewards". Their protests were denied by King Aegon I, perhaps because the Florents had fought [[House Targaryen]] when the Tyrells did not.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Reach: House Tyrell}}

When Lord [[Unwin Peake]] sought to make his daughter [[Myrielle Peake|Myrielle]] the queen to King [[Aegon III Targaryen]] after the [[Dance of the Dragons]], Lady [[Samantha Hightower]] nominated nubile maidens from House Florent, among other nobles houses, as potential queen consorts for the king.{{Ref|FAB|Under the Regents – War and Peace and Cattle Shows}}

In {{Date|206}}, during the reign of [[Daeron II Targaryen]], Ser [[Arlan of Pennytree|Arlan]] and [[Duncan the Tall|Dunk]] were in service to [[Lord Florent (Daeron II)|Lord Florent]], who was blind. The Florent arms were spotted by Ser Duncan in the assembled heraldry at the [[tourney at Ashford Meadow]] three years later.{{Ref|THK}} Ser [[Aladore Florent]], heir to Brightwater Keep, and Ser [[Jon Florent]] were listed on the rolls.{{Ref|THK|Graphic Novel}}
