House Blackmont of Blackmont

HistoryDomainBooks and show
On this tab

Blackmont rises in southern Dorne, and from there its lords serve House Martell as bannermen. Their banner is one of the strangest in Westeros: a black vulture holding a pink infant in its claws, on a field of gold.

It is a minor house among Dorne's great names, yet its lords turn up at Martell's side whenever the ruling house needs to show strength: riding with Prince Oberyn to King's Landing, or among the children Prince Doran keeps closest at the Water Gardens.

Origins

War against Nymeria

House Blackmont had fought the Marcher lords of the north for generations by the time Nymeria brought the Rhoynar to Dorne's shores. In the war that followed her arrival, King Benedict Blackmont was defeated.

Later, as bannermen of House Yronwood, the Blackmonts joined King Yorick V Yronwood in his resistance against Nymeria and House Martell, before Dorne was united under a single throne.
