House Brune of 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.

When the realm split over the Iron Throne, House Brune took the side of Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, adding its swords to the black cause during the Dance of the Dragons.

Generations later, knights of the house rode with Prince Rhaegar Targaryen at the Battle of the Trident, one of the last fights of the Targaryens while they still held the throne.
