House Botley of Lordsport

During the regency of Aegon III Targaryen, raiders out of the Iron Islands struck the coasts of the Westerlands. Lady Johanna, Lady of Casterly Rock, sought reprisal and persuaded Ser Leo Costayne to carry the response back to the islands themselves.

The attack reached Lordsport as well, and among the dead of that campaign was the Lord Botley of the time.

The first Botley stronghold at Lordsport was built of wood and hemp, and remained so until the Greyjoy Rebellion brought war to the islands. It was then that King Robert Baratheon burned it down to its foundations.

Lord Sawane Botley later raised a new keep, this time of stone, topped by a small square tower crowning a hill.

When Balon Greyjoy gathered his house at Pyke for a feast, the Botleys were among those present.

It was at that same feast that Balon revealed to his own his plan to launch the invasion of the North.
