House Rosby of Rosby
On this tab
House Rosby is a minor family of the Crownlands, seated in the village of Rosby north of King's Landing, sworn to the Baratheons who hold the Iron Throne.
Its lords turn up at several turning points in the history of the Seven Kingdoms, generally on the side that ends up losing.
Conquest
Aegon's Conquest
When Aegon Targaryen landed to conquer Westeros, the lord of Rosby offered no resistance. He submitted to Rhaenys Targaryen and her dragon Meraxes without a single battle, and kept his lands under the new order.

Dance of the Dragons
Generations later, Lord Rosby backed Rhaenyra Targaryen's claim to the Iron Throne. Ser Criston Cole, of Aegon II's Kingsguard, took his castle, and the lord of Rosby switched sides to join the Greens.
It did him no good: when Rhaenyra retook King's Landing she named him a traitor and had him executed.

Later, when Lord Brynden Rivers marched to Whitewalls to crush the Second Blackfyre Rebellion, soldiers of House Rosby marched among his forces.
