House Slate of Blackpool
Casa Slate de Pozanegra
House Slate of Blackpool is a vassal house of the Boltons in the North, descended from a line that once ruled as kings before bowing to the Starks.
Its more recent history is tied to the war that took Robb Stark south, and to the events that later unsettled Winterfell.
