Isembard Arryn, called the Gilded Falcon, was the head of House Arryn of Gulltown and a claimant to the Eyrie.[1]

History

He was known as the Gilded Falcon due to his wealth, as men used to jape that the falcon on his arms was made of gold.

After the death of Jeyne Arryn, the Lady of the Eyrie, a succession dispute emerged between her chosen heir, Ser Joffrey Arryn, and a closer cousin, Ser Arnold Arryn. Isembard emerged as a third claimant and used his wealth to bribe lesser lords and hire sellswords to support his claim.

One of the young king Aegon III Targaryen's regents, Ser Corwyn Corbray, ruled that Lady Jeyne's will must prevail and declared Ser Joffrey the rightful Lord of the Eyrie. Isembard and his sons were imprisoned, but House Grafton still continued to support his claim.

By the time the new regents were to be chosen by lot in 136 AC, Lord Alyn Velaryon and Lord Benjicot Blackwood had at last forced the supporters of Isembard and Ser Arnold to do homage to Lord Joffrey as their liege. Presumably, he was freed and pardoned, as he made his way to King's Landing for the lottery. There he was named master of coin under Torrhen Manderly.[1]
