House Staunton of Rook's Rest
Casa Staunton de Reposo del Grajo
House Staunton of Rook's Rest is a noble family of the Crownlands, sworn to House Baratheon of King's Landing and seated at the castle of Rook's Rest.
It is a minor house, yet its name turns up at two of the great struggles for the Iron Throne: the twilight of Maegor I's reign and the civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons.

Jaehaerys I Targaryen
StauntonLord Staunton was one of the few lords who did not abandon King Maegor I Targaryen as his reign collapsed. On the day the king died, he summoned his remaining loyalists to King's Landing to plan a battle against Jaehaerys I, his nephew, newly raised as rival king.
The plan never came together: the great lords of the realm were absent from that room, and their absence alone was enough to drain the resolve of those who had come.

Rhaenyra TargaryenWhen the realm split between two claimants to the throne, Lord Staunton chose a side: he placed Rook's Rest behind Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen.
