House Brune of Brownhollow
On this tab
House Brune of Brownhollow is a small house of knights from the Crownlands, sworn to the Baratheons of King's Landing from their seat at Brownhollow.
It is one of those houses that rarely stand at the centre of a chronicle, yet whose name keeps turning up at the edges of some of the episodes that did shape the realm.
Origins
Seat at Brownhollow
In the Crownlands, the Brunes hold Brownhollow and answer to the Baratheons of King's Landing as household knights rather than as lords in their own right. Their arms show a bear's paw, tenné on a field of white, closed within a double tressure of the same colour.
The name goes back to the Brune brothers, remembered as the lords who once brought peace to Sharp Point, though that calm did not last long.
