House Charlton
On this tab
House Charlton is a noble house of the Riverlands, a bannerman house of House Frey of the Twins, whose sigil shows three sprigs of mistletoe on a golden field.
Before swearing fealty to the Twins, its lords once wore their own crown as Kings of the Trident.
Origins
Kings of the Trident
When King Bernarr II Justman died, the Riverlands fell into a century of war between rival houses for supremacy over the Trident. Members of House Charlton ruled during that time as one more of the minor lines contesting the river crown.
At some point in the centuries that followed — the source does not say when, only that it fell within the last six hundred years — the house left that independence behind and swore fealty to House Frey of the Twins.
