Penrose
On this tab
Lord Penrose is the head of House Penrose and Lord of Parchments, a seat in the stormlands.
During the War of the Five Kings, his loyalty becomes something both sides of the struggle for the Iron Throne try to win or force.
War of the Five Kings
Davos Seaworth's Visit
Ser Davos Seaworth comes to Parchments to ask Lord Penrose to back Stannis Baratheon's claim to the Iron Throne.
Lord Penrose receives him courteously, but withholds the support he seeks.

Siege of Storm's End
When Stannis lays siege to Storm's End, it is Ser Cortnay Penrose, Lord Penrose's son, who commands the castle's garrison and refuses to yield it.
Faced with that refusal, Lord Alester Florent proposes bringing Lord Penrose to the walls and threatening to kill his son unless the stronghold surrenders.
The threat is never carried out: Ser Cortnay is killed before it becomes necessary.
