The title of their patriarch would be "Lord of the Ring". --Potsk (talk) 08:51, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

We already have a Sauron in the series (Sauron Salt-Tongue), GRRM could give us "Sauron Roxton, Lord of the Ring" if he revisits this House in the future (though it would be better if it was "Lord of the Rings"). --Thomaerys Velaryon (talk) 09:58, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
I think at this point we can not even be sure they are a lordly house. Jon Roxton, head of the house during the Dance of Dragons, is called lord only once (when he resides in Lord Footly's chambers after First Tumbleton) and otherwise is referred to as Ser Jon all he time. So I think it is rather likely the head of the house is called 'the Knight of the Ring'. The Wondering Wolf (talk) 11:36, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
