House Yew

Casa Yew

House Yew is a minor noble family of the Westerlands, sworn to House Lannister of Casterly Rock.

Tradition traces its line back to a legendary archer from the age of the First Men, though little more than his name survives of that story.

Chapter 1

Vassals of Casterly Rock

Books only

The Yews serve as knights to House Lannister and answer to Casterly Rock as their sworn house in the Westerlands.

Their arms show a golden longbow on a field of silver, flanked by two curved bends of red; this detail comes from sources considered only semi-canonical, not from the novels.

The current head of the house is Manfryd Yew.

Chapter 2

The Blind Archer

Books only

The house's legends name Alan of the Oak, a First Men hero known as the Blind Archer, as its founder.

Nothing survives of him beyond the name and the epithet, which the house still claims as its origin.
