House Manwoody of Kingsgrave is an old Dornish noble house. Its seat of Kingsgrave is placed amidst the Prince's Pass, guarding the access to Dorne.
They blazon their banners with a white skull with a golden crown, over a black field.[1] According to a semi-canon source, both the arms of the house and the name of its castle refer to the fact that the founder of the house slew an old king of the Reach there[2]. The motto has not been mentioned in the books.
