House Mertyns of Mistwood
On this tab
House Mertyns of Mistwood is one of the many minor houses that serve House Baratheon in the Stormlands, seated by the wood that gives it its name and marked by a silver owl on its banners.
What little survives of its history amounts to a handful of mentions: a tragedy involving poisoned wine, a meeting with a still-young king, and a banner recognisable among dozens at a tournament in the capital.
Early Years
First Dornish War
During the First Dornish War, a lord of House Mertyns died along with relatives of his and members of his household after drinking Dornish wine that someone had poisoned.
