House Peake of Starpike is a noble house from Starpike in the Reach. They blazon their arms with three black castles on orange.[1][2][3] Their motto has yet to appear.

The Peakes are Marcher lords from the Dornish Marches.[4]

History

The Peakes were historical rivals with the Manderlys before their exile from the Reach to the North.[5]

During the Dance of the Dragons, Lord Unwin Peake supported the greens. He took command of the green army from the Reach after the Second Battle of Tumbleton and led its retreat.[6] After the death of Lord Corlys Velaryon, Lord Unwin was given a position as one of King Aegon III Targaryen's regents. He eventually became Hand of the King, which he later resigned when the king would not marry his daughter.[7]

The three black castles on their arms symbolize the three castles that House Peake once owned, Starpike, Dunstonbury, and Whitegrove.[5] After they chose the side of Daemon Blackfyre in the First Blackfyre Rebellion, they had two of the castles stripped from them, leaving them only Starpike.[2] Lord Gormon Peake was a fierce supporter of Daemon I Blackfyre and was considered one of the finest knights during the reign of King Daeron II Targaryen. Gormon was a part of Daemon II Blackfyre's entourage at Whitewalls.[2]

King Maekar I Targaryen, Lord Robert Reyne, and Ser Tywald Lannister were slain during the Peake Uprising.[8]
